Article Income Secrets - How to Make Indirect and Direct Profits with Your Articles

Q: I've hear you say that you can make both indirect and direct profits from your articles. What's the difference between the two and how do you do it?

A: While there are those who will tell you that you cannot profit from your articles, let's start with 3 points about these folks:

1. They are wrong.

2. They are your competition.

3. This is a good thing.

With that out of the way, let's take a closer look at some indirect and some direct methods for profiting with your articles.

Indirect article profits

Indirect is all the traffic and visitors that come to your website from these articles you have out there, and all the inbound links you have from your articles out there. I've received new subscribers and added new list members while I have been writing this article.

All you have to do is get one article on EzineArticles.com and you have a link coming in from a website ranked consistently in the top 300 in the world.

Direct article profits

Now the direct way is taking the 7 tips articles or any other articles you write and building it out, expanding and repurposing it into different information products.

A 7 tips article (or any article) can be easily expanded and repurposed into the following information products:

• a mini-guide
• an ecourse or eprogram
• an ebook
• a teleseminar

From now on I want you to look at a simple article and see the many information products they can grow into, because that is how you can create your information empire with your articles.
