There really are a lot of ways to generate income from something as unassuming and convenient as the internet. The money-making possibilities just simply abounds, it's all a matter of whether you're willing to take advantage of these incredible opportunities.
Article marketing is something that is fairly new in this advertising arena but it certainly has generated a steady following for itself by proving to be a highly useful and effective marketing tool. All you really need is a lot of patience (which is always a given with anything that you get yourself into) as well as being caught by the writing bug. Even though it’s really quite easy to create articles, writing by the bulk may sometimes prove to be quite tiring and unfortunately, quite uninspiring for most but the rewards from articles marketing is surely a worthwhile investment of your time and writing skills.
It is a must for you to get yourself listed on the free content sites available in the internet nowadays, they're the ones that'll actually put your articles to good use not just for them but for yourself as well. But the bottom line of this matter is that you have to get cracking with those articles or else, you really wouldn't benefit much from these so-called free content sites. Why, you may ask, well there is such a thing as a fresh content list, if you're always creating well-written and informative articles for your potential clients, then you're sure to generate a lot of traffic to your site because of the fresh content list on these free content site. Article marketing really is keeping yourself, as well as your website abreast with whatever's in-demand considering that they'll be the ones that people - your potential clients will probably want. Still, please be reminded that loading up on article links doesn't really equate to good and effective articles marketing, a lot of people actually get turned-off by being bombarded with all sorts of links that aren't just confusing for them but also, most often than not, quite a waste of their time. Don't fall into that trap like other people who were too eager to generate traffic for their websites. Effective articles marketing entails you to delivering articles that are of good quality, that people would actually want to read and not just appear as some other link that they can't just wait to discard.
The key knowing if your do have an effective articles marketing approach, try to evaluate (and please be honest with yourself) on whether or not your articles are really of news value, try to put yourself on your visitor's shoes, would you those articles the time of day at least? Would it really interest you? Better yet, is it good enough to hold your interest? Try to be objective here please because good articles marketing needs you to cater to your visitors needs, wants and interests, not just with whatever you can come up with during your spare time. A good idea would be offering articles that really cater to your website, try to start informative pieces that involves your websites content. If your website is about baking, why not offer various recipes on cakes, cookies and other baked goods? Also, you can come up with creative articles with regards to the history of baking or what are the best kind of equipment to use or how other people from different parts of the globe bake. It really is just a matter of knowing your site, well enough to come up with effective articles marketing to boost traffic earnings.

money and jokes..the most expensive jokes
Product creation is one step in the information marketing process. Public domain information can provide a seemingly endless supply of ready-made products from which you can benefit financially. There are several requirements that must be met before a creative work can be republished in your own name. If you neglect to jump through these hoops you can find yourself on the short end of a large lawsuit.
The first issue is to determine if the product is indeed in the public domain. If the book was written before 1923 then it automatically falls into public domain. If the copyright was not renewed then after a certain number of years the book would fall into public domain.
You can make a preliminary search at http://www.copyright.gov/records/ where you’ll find that most works between 1950 – present have been entered into the database. There is a short tutorial on the site to teach you how to use it.
Once you have determined to your satisfaction that the book is in public domain you might want to start the process of making a digital copy. Before publishing and marketing a copy of your new work you should have a certified report generated from the Library of Congress that certifies your work is in the public domain at the time of your request. This report will be necessary to protect your interests should the copyright come into question.
The financial benefits to using public domain information can be quite substantial. Doing a search on Matt Furey or Ted Ciuba and you’ll find those two particular marketers took books from the public domain and built an empire around them.
Matt Furey found a book of wrestling moves that had fallen into public domain. He added his information, republished and the rest is history. Ted Ciuba used the famous book ‘Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This book is freely available in digital format. Ted Ciuba reworked a piece of it, republished it and copyrighted it under his name. He has built an entire business around the principles from that book.
Books are not the only possibility. There are art pieces that can be republished and sold; movies that can be made to MP4 files and played on PSP players; music that can be remastered for MP3 files. Another option could be audio books of some of the old children’s classics. Look through the potential files and use your imagination.
How do you find these works? There are several places you can start. At Project Gutenburg they have amassed a digital library of over 1700 ebooks that fall into public domain. You can also browse through http://www.booksforabuck.com/general/pubsources.html to find other sources of all creative works that are in public domain.
Using public domain information can be cost effective if you find a book that has already been made to digital format. You might take on the challenge of typing the book into a computer yourself if it isn’t digital or use a typist from Elance. The largest expense is the certified report from the Library of Congress. Starting in July 2006 they significantly increased their prices from less than $75.00 for a certified report to $300.00. Apparently use of public domain information is skyrocketing and the Library of Congress is taking advantage of the laws of supply and demand.
Even with the expense of a certified report using work from the public domain can be cost effective and add credibility to your effort. This is a resource that holds real potential for marketers today.
