    1. Article writing time: It takes me 5 minutes to write a 300-400 word article, including the 100 word title. But I am told that i type extremely fast. I do not spend as much time as I should writing articles, but generally 4+ hours per day, but no longer than 8; however I also write many articles when I do write; and not all do this.


    The time you spend to write an article should get better when you know about the product you are promoting in the first place.

    TIP: I started out reading other articles and sort of mimicking what they were writing... after some time of writing the same or similar points on the same topic, you eventually just learn it and can write just from your head... but this is my experience.

    2. Income from Article Marketing: I make about 25$ per hour with article marketing as of now, and I do not outsource.


    3. Domain redirection: As far as I know you can redirect your page to anything you want... and are you meaning.."can you buy a domain that will redirect to an affiliate product, and use this on ezinearticles?"

    If that is what you meant, then for sure- and this is how you redirect a website to any clickbank (presuming this is what you are using, and even if not, just follow the steps below) product page of your choice...

    I.Get a domain, buy it and make sure that your WHOIS and other information is set to private.

    II. Also make your domain name easy, and relevant to whatever it is you are going to be selling.

    You can get a domain from hostmonster, host gator, 50webs even... or basically any webhosting website you find that suits you.

    III. Then once you have done this, you will go into the FILE area for your domain (by clicking edit domain...) and then you will see a file that says "index.html".

    You must replace this file by doing the following, in order to get a redirect.

    IV. To replace the original index file:

    From your start menu of your computer, open a text document and paste this in:

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">


    V. Replace the "yourdomain" with the URL link containing your HOP link, you can get that by going to the clickbank marketplace, (if you are using clickbank.. presumably) and then finding the product you want to promote, and clicking get HOP LINK..

    Then you enter in your username and it gives you a link, and that is the LINK you will paste in there.


    VI. Once you have done this, you will save this file as

    "index.html"

    and only this name. Then you must upload this to your domain, from your hosting website. Basically replace the original index file with this new one...once you have done this, it will redirect to the website you have put in.


    If that is not what you meant, then I do not understand your question.


    But what I can suggest to you, is that if you hate article writing, that you outsource- you can get a good quality 300-400 word article for about $2-$3... depending on how good you are at bargaining and looking.

    You should always make sure, however, that you are always earning back MORE THAN what you paid for any articles in the first place, otherwise you need to rethink the kinds of articles you are getting, the quality and other things.


    Article writing is not the only key to getting sales through articles, by the way. Alot of people may choose to use backlinking, twitter and other things- as well as ensuring that their author boxes, and titles really draw in the readers attention.

    Take a look at any of your articles which had the highest click through rates, alongside the most views and see what they are like... because from that you can see what people tend to like more.

    1) make money from article marketing? Maybe I am not understanding but there is alot more to it outside of just "posting articles." You could have the best lead-in sales-type article ranking number one from EZinearticles but if you landing page sucks, or there is no traffic for the keyword, then you will make jack-nuthin'... that said, I use article marketing to get backlinks to my money sites and I do really well, but I post hundreds of articles per week when I am in "building mode."

    2) you can redirect a domain that you own anywhere you want, but I dunno why you'd do that.

    3) I can write 400 words in 7-10 minutes and I always write in the first person... but I mostly outsource content gen to college students in my area.

    hope that helps
