Profit Potential of Writing Articles

In this day and age, we all know (or have heard) what a ‘side hustle’ is. Writers and those with an interest in writing exercise some ‘side hustle’ muscle with blogs and articles.

It’s believed, making money with articles is fairly easy. For quick learners who are voracious readers, it’s feasible learning everything right from the internet (without any formal training). This is probably the best facet of niche internet marketing (website).

If new to the business, ease into it. Jumping in without really knowing what you’re doing, increases the chance of losing money and having nothing to show for it. Before creating your first site, several things are necessary.

• • Find reliable web hosting
  • Pick a catchy URL
  • Create a small site easy to navigate. Have one created for you or use an online website builder (WYSIWYG).
  • Create your own great articles or hire someone to do it for you
  • Optimize your website for search engines

Profit potential from placing articles and affiliate links on your website differs from person to person. It primarily depends on how successful your site is. This requires building your site around a great niche subject. Also, good search engine rankings through SEO efforts, creating enjoyable, informative site(s) with engaging content, impact success and profit potential.

Some claim to make as much as $10,000 per month through building and promoting niche sites. However, don’t expect this kind of success in the beginning, especially if you’re new That kind of success usually only comes with experience and acquired skill. A reasonable income to expect from a niche site, after working months to gain traffic for a site linked with good affiliates, is around $500-$1,000 per month. But this is recurring income, so you’ll make that much monthly from the efforts put into that one site; it isn’t a one-shot deal.

After building one successful site, many continue building niche sites. Numerous sites increase income generation (profit potential). Some prefer building fast, short sites over sites slightly longer in length. Note: larger sites tend to generate more income.

When starting out, remember: your first site will always be your hardest. You’re learning the ropes of the business, and not everyone is cut out to market and promote niche sites. It may not work out and you may end up losing a little bit of money, but you must decide if it a business risk worth taking—at least once.

The important thing is, if this is something you really want to do, you don’t give up without giving it a good shot. Your first site may take a while to ‘catch on,’ the work may be tedious, and you may feel like throwing in the towel. However, giving up too early won’t reveal what could have been. And who knows, you may be the next great website marketer!
