Your very own article directory
Lots of content gets created every day and if you’re looking to make money from this continuous content stream, you can either join the authors who write up valuable posts or join the publishers who market them.
Most web developers know about the authoring part and since it’s a lot of fun, there’s no reason to stop -but- perhaps it would be nice to also open up your very own article directory, namely to make money on that side too.
If you’re familiar with PHP / MySQL and have access to a web hosting account, you’re already halfway there. All you need to make the magic happen is the article directory script which will automate the article submission, presentation and promotion.
The Article Directory Pro script does exactly that and although it’s not free, the selling price shouldn’t be an obstacle. It installs quickly (and flawlessly) and even includes hundreds of private label rights articles to get your directory started.
Once your article directory is setup, you’re free to set your advertising the way you like. Market your new web resource intelligently by using a snappy domain name accompanied by visually appealing visuals. Over time, the content should build up and your revenues will probably be sufficient for you to pay the monthly rent.
Now, here’s the secret tip expert web developers won’t tell you: the real power of such a web script lies in using it for a vertical or, if you prefer, a niche.
For instance, you could use this script to publish only university research papers (or excepts, whichever fits), for sports reviews (hockey, baseball… you name it), for traveler experiences and so on.
There are so many interesting verticals to explore that this approach will likely make your article directory rather unique and therefore, a lot more valuable than just any other “horizontal” article directory. Get a head start with this finely coded script and work your way from there.
Working a vertical with this kind of script really helps build up the interest in that specific field. While it may take a little longer to get the ball rolling, once you’re established as a credible source of “vertical” information, your visitors will come in much higher numbers.
Oh, and another thing (pun to Steve Jobs) – make sure to submit your article directory to the leading sites which market them as this will help you bring in your first serious authors to use your article directory.
Have fun with this nicely positioned script!
