How to monetize a few thousands of unique HQ articles???

So suppose you have 3 thousand articles related to topic of your business. In my case I mostly develop Custom Software / SEO / Web Design etc (if you bother to know more, check my website inferta.com).

How I can monetize that? I mean how to promote my services in the most effective way?

I tried posting on LinkedIn and Google + but traffic is not great (20-30 uniques/day) and bounce rate about 50%.

Thank you very much for you help!

    The best way I've found to monetize articles is to make an offer at the end of the article. So at the end of an article about SEO you might offer a free report on an SEO-related topic (in exchange for joining your mailing list, after which you can build a relationship with them and monetize over time) or you can make an offer for a special SEO service package. Or maybe offer a free website review to see how optimized their site is (and then of course you would present them with a service package to fix all the SEO leaks they're bound to have ).

    Another thing is to make sure you have a relevant opt-in form on your website to capture leads from those who do visit. Especially a pop-up as that can drastically increase your conversions.

    1. Create a blog and drip feed your high quality content.
    2. Once it starts gaining traffic, start collecting emails by offering high quality report.
    3. You can market your services or bring back subscribers to new posts.
    4. Start monetizing your email list and blog with various offers or CPC ads.
    5. More emails means, more traffic to your blog and continuous long term income....
    6. Diversify your traffic and income sources.... and keep going

      By drip feeding you mean to post on schedule? Why not to post just in a few attempts? Like 20-30 at a time?

      Do you suggest to re-post those articles on Ezines etc?

          Why I don't need to post on Ezine or other directories? Wouldn't it be helpful as a link too?

    Turn your articles into a 10-15 page reports.

    Turn the reports into video tutorials

    Turn your videos into courses....

      And host those video tutorials on YouTube with links to my website? What's the point in the tutorials and courses? To monetize on YouTube videos or to drive traffic to my website?

      Didn't try AdSense on this site because this is my corp website... Tried previously with another site... Earned $26 in three months. LOL

    I would build a blog, optimize it and monetize it. And I agree, Adsense is not always very profitable, in fact many times it's the opposite, depending on the niche and traffic.
