Make Money With Real Estate Articles

By Steven Gillman

Writing real estate investing or home buying articles, or any articles related to real estate is a great way to invest a little or nothing and make a lot of money. You have to know how to write decently, or be willing to learn. But you do not need to sell your articles.

You don't have to be a marketer to write about real estate and make money. I make well over $1,000 per month with one of my real estate sites - without having to sell any real estate books or courses of my own. All I do is write, put up pages and promote the site.

It costs $8.50 per year for the domain name, or about 75 cents per month. The server has 20 of my web sites on it and costs me $25 per month, or about $1.25 per month per site. I would have my internet provider in any case, but if I divide the 30 dollar cost among the sites, it runs about $1.50 per month per site. I spend nothing at all on advertising. If you just did the math, you can see that my total expenses for the web site run $3.50 per month (yes you read that correctly).

I don't have to sell anything of my own (although I do that on other web sites) because there are so many good programs that pay per click for ads on my site, or pay a commission for referred sales. I put the links up and let them do the selling. I just have to get visitors to the web site and keep them interested.

Getting traffic to a website is a subject of its own, but I use one primary strategy. I write articles and distribute them through article directories. They are read there, and taken for free by other web site owners who wish to use them. In all cases, the "about the author" box at the end has an active link to my web site for readers who want more. This is a powerful way to bring in the traffic. There are now thousands of links out there that point to my web site.

What Kind Of Real Estate Articles Should You Write?

The more important issue is probably how you make that writing generate income for you, but it does matter what you have to say. Look for a new angle on some aspect of real estate. The site I refer to above is HousesUnderFiftyThousand.com, and it arose from our experience exploring the country for cheap towns, and eventually buying a nice home for $17,500 a few years ago.
You might have real estate stories to tell if you are a real estate agent. People love stories - especially true stories. If you have a lot of experience investing in real estate, you can write about your own investments - both the good and the bad. A good story with a lesson will always be a hit with those who are interested in real estate investing.

You could concentrate on a niche, like fixer-uppers, if that is where your experience is. If you have invested in a few such projects, you should have enough to say to fill a couple dozen articles or pages on a web site. If you specialize in buying and selling land, write about that.

What if you have no real estate investing experience, but you love to read about real estate? You can write reviews of real estate investing books. You'll have links to the books on your site, of course, and get a commission when they sell.

What if you have an interest in real estate, but mostly just like to write? You can interview real estate investors, real estate sales agents, appraisers and others, and put those interviews on your web site. You can also write short biographies and stories about investors and others that are involved in real estate in some way.

Bottom line? If you already have a computer and internet access, you can even start with one of those free web sites. That means you can invest nothing but your time and still make money writing real estate articles.

Make Money Online With Google Adwords

By Bill Broich

Making money with Google is one of the quickest, easiest and most effective ways to make money online. The reason is because the traffic is laser targeted. If somebody types in, for example, ‘work from home job’ they are looking to find a home based job. In comparison if a user is on a general news site let’s say and sees a banner or text ad for a work from home job they are less likely to be interested. What Google allows you to do is instantly put your product or service in front of people who are actively looking for it. This comes in the form of Google Adwords. If you’re unfamiliar with adwords they are simply the text ads you see at the top and right hand column of Google’s search engine results pages. Advertisers bid against one another for placement. Ideally you want the top spot on the first page.

You can find a multitude of affiliate products that will pay you a percentage of sales you generate. You can advertise these affiliate products on Google and often earn head-spinning amounts of money, especially if you find a hot product with a generous commission and can achieve a top placement on Google. It’s an easy way to make money online and there are so many niches you’ll never run out of areas in which to make money from.

The downside to making money with Google Adwords is that it’s so effective that everybody wants in on the action and the prices continue to rise year after year squeezing out many advertisers and reducing profit margins for nearly everyone.

If you truly want to make money online with Google adwords you need to keep your ad costs down. You can do this using a combination of techniques… optimization and cost offsetting are the number one tactics.

Optimizing simply means tracking which keywords and phrases get clicks and convert the best. Typically longer tail keywords convert better as opposed to broad general terms. Example: Make Money is less likely to convert than say make money online with Google adwords. The latter is more specific. The user is not looking for any old way to make money online. They want to do it using Google Adwords.

Another optimization tactic is placing high initial bids for keywords when you setup a new campaign. This gets you higher placement which nearly always leads to a higher click-thru rate. The higher the CTR the more relevant Google sees your ad being and therefore they rank your ads higher. Relevancy trumps bid amount always. You'll be able to slowly lower your cost per click amount and still retain your placement.

Of course there are other optimization techniques, but these are the two big ones.
The next method is offsetting. Offsetting is the brilliant tactic to get your adwords ads free. One brilliant internet marketer is getting over 12 million a year in free Google Adwords using an easy secret. He offsets his ad costs to his competitors. Crazy sounding, I know. But it works like a charm.

In conclusion, Google adwords is one of the easiest ways to make money online. You can start making money within minutes and your traffic is laser targeted leading to higher conversion rates and greater profits. But it's getting expensive and more competitive so you must employ optimization and offsetting techniques to remain in the game and grow your earnings.
