How to Evaluate Your Articles Return

If you ask any successful internet marketer about the important methods of generating passive income, you will find that article writing is one of the top rated. I too have included some posts in this blog about article writing.

Let me highlight how you can translate articles to pure income.

When you include a link in your article, let’s say it is a link to your website, then a portion of the people who read the article are going to click on the link. In turn a portion of those who are going to click on the link are going to buy the product that you are selling on your website. This is what internet marketers call conversion rate.

If you have included a good material in your article then you can easily attract hundreds of readers. Let’s say that you had 200 readers and 25% of these had clicked on your link, then you would have 50 clicks. Suppose 4% out of those who clicked on the link had bought the product that you are offering then you would have made 2 sales out of your articles. If you are promoting a product that gives you $50 then your article would have generated $100 for you.

The beauty of article marketing is that articles stays over the net for a very long period of time. So, this scenario can easily be replicated month after month.

Thus the more articles that you write the greater passive income that you would generate.

Along the years there were multiple ways to generate residual passive income, but the trend in our time is what is called affiliate market. The affiliate market is when you are promoting the products of a third party for a commission.

What makes affiliate marketing so attractive is that you, as an affiliate, do not have to deal with all the hassles of processing orders, handling deliveries, resolving returns. All these issues will be handled by the company that you are affiliated with. You only have to focus on making a sale and getting your commission.


Affiliate marketing becomes even more attractive when an affiliate can generate income on the sales that he makes and on the ones that the people that he refers make. For example, if person A refers person B for a certain affiliate program. Then person A makes commission on the sales that he himself makes and on the sales that person B makes. Some affiliate programs gives commission this way for up to five levels. Imagine what will be the impact on your residual passive income.
