I know you've heard that one of the most effective ways of driving free traffic to your website is by the writing of articles.
  But did you know it's a fantastic way of making money too? Here's a way of earning money from articles.
  Combining a bunch of related articles in a particular niche, rewrite them and create your own ebook?  You could create a mini-site that sells just the ebook.
  Or what about taking the articles you write, use Frontpage or NVU (it's free at nvu.
com) or whatever HTML text editor you choose and create a web page with this meaningful content and run AdSense ads on them to create income.
  The free traffic you generate from writing articles will garner you sales from whatever you're promoting.
  If you're selling other people's products (affiliate) you could send traffic and earn commissions.
Just make sure at the end of your articles you include a link back to whatever sites you're promoting (called a byline).
So what if you're a complete newbie, (I really hate that word) how do you get started?  It's not as difficult as you might think.
  The trouble I use to run into a lot when it came to making money on the internet was finding someone who had actually done what I was attempting to do.
  And then actually giving you step by step instructions as to how to do whatever it is you've taken on to make money.
   The so called experts or gurus would seem to always leave something out.
Well I hope I haven't done that.
  I've posted step by step instructions on my blog for you.
  Feel free to leave a comment or two if you put my instructions into action.
