Making money online don’t have to be a challenge but with all the hype flooding the internet you wonder why you even bother trying. Never give up you just have to find the right programs and know how to market them. I remember someone once said "In order to succeed you either have to take a chance or be given one."

So I was willing to take a chance to find out if someone could really make money online and how it was done.

After months of trying different programs, I realized I was going about it all wrong. I was trying to market other people’s products and services without knowing how to write good content about them.

Creating great content or articles for your products and service is the key to making money online. Content is what makes up the internet. If there's no content about your product or service no one would be able to find it to buy it. So the content you create need to be informative, give something to the reader and provide a solution to

their problems.

Before you start to write your articles and content you'll need to first read and research everything about that product or service. After you have read and memorized your product and it's features, now you should be ready to write something about it. You'll be surprised that once you start writing the rest will just come to you because you’ve memorized everything about it. A lot of people are afraid that they can't write well or put together good content to make money online but that's far from the truth. Everyone these days have the ability to write well with all the texting and technology trends. In my opinion texting is more difficult because of all the abbreviations and chopped wording, so writing your content for your products and services should be a snap.

Here are a few pointers to help with the success of your online marketing and your other promotional efforts:

1. Use original content created only by you – (using content not created by you may get you penalized for plagiarism or duplicate content) you don’t want to get banned by search engines.

2. Use keyword rich titles and descriptions - example, (Online marketing - keyword or keyword phrase) / (Online Marketing in Today's Economy - keyword rich Title) (Online marketing in today's economy has taken a toll on more than the webmasters of the online community - keyword rich Description)

3. Own your domain name - example, www.your-company.com

4. Think of creative ways to word and use your keywords in your articles and content mainly at the beginning of the of sentence as shown above.

5. Use article directories for massive exposure, link building and 1st page rankings - This is very most important after you've done 1 - 4 correctly

Article directories are one of the best sources for getting on the first page of google.com. You can find a list of the top directories to submit your content to through any search engine. Here's where you need a lot of patience because article submission is time consuming and tedious. So I'm suggesting you use a article submission tool or software to cut your time down. Once you have submitted your articles and content on the web you can monitor your traffic and sales to see what's working and what isn't. You'll have to test certain articles and products out first to see which ones are the best sellers. Here's where your dedication comes in because some of the things you may try out at first may not work so well so you'll need to test out other products and article styles. If you want to make money online you have to keep at it. No road to success was ever been a easy one.

So for those of you who don't mine a little hard work, the answer is yes, you can make money online but you're gonna have to work for every dollar.
