Sell articles to Best Article Directories

7 replies
Hey guys, I've got some good high quality articles from freelancers. I'd like to know which are the best article directories atm to submit articles and get money from ads % sharing. Squidoo is still good to make money from? Also I know eHow, I remember a website where a photoshop tutorial can be bought for 150$ that's crazy I can get that kind of articles too. Do you have any other good articles directory list to submit your articles and still make money from? thank you

    Yahoo Contributors? My friend uses them and it's profitable. But, they only pay for the residents of the US..

    You've confused article directories with content mills and/or Web 2.0 sites, I think.

    Article directories don't buy articles, or share advertising revenue.

    Sites that share with you a percentage of the advertising money from the pages on which your articles appear aren't "article directories", as such.

    No - it's very, very bad indeed. So bad that even many of the people who, a couple of years ago, were promoting Squidoo-related WSO's are now openly advising others to have nothing to do with them. This post explains the detail: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8109462

    What you might want to think about is why you should allow someone else to share with you the income that your content generates. Don't imagine that those sites "have their own traffic" and that your articles will "therefore" do better there than on your own site. That isn't how it works. The fact that they have a lot of traffic, overall, isn't going to bring those visitors to your pages there. If people find your articles from a search engine, you'll do much better if they come straight to your site, and not go off to some Web 2.0 content site which "shares your money with you".

      So you're saying that to make quick money selling articles isn't good idea? It's better then to make your own blog and write articles for your niche? that's not quick bucks but maybe passive income in future..

        No; I didn't say that at all.

        You're talking about several different things at the same time, without perhaps appreciating the differences.

        Sites like Squidoo (and HubPages and other similar ones) don't buy articles.

        Article directories also don't buy articles.

        There are sites (like Squidoo etc.) which lend you pages (subdomains) on which you can publish your articles and they take a cut of the advertising revenue. That's a different business altogether, and that's what I'm advising you to keep away from. (You did ask specifically about Squidoo.)

        Yes, it's better - but again, that's also a totally different business model from "selling articles".

        There are also sites like Constant-Content at which you can actually sell articles (provided you wrote them or own all the rights, and that they're unique, and so on, obviously). Those sites are also not called "article directories". They're generally known as "content mills". They're places to which people go, shopping, when they want to buy articles to use in their own businesses.

        This post explains what an "article directory" is.
