Do you need to make money online? Maybe the bills are piling up and you do not know where to turn? Perhaps you have borrowed all you can from family and friends and you do not know where the next dime will come from? Well, you can make money online but....

How?

There are ways to make money online by posting reviews to websites like and . But this does not make a huge amount of money and it is relatively slow.

You can make more money by writing articles for article directories such as AssociatedContent.com, but you need to keep up a steady stream of articles to keep up the income. The pay is between $1.50 and goes right up to $20, but once an article is written and given to them, it becomes theirs and you cannot make money from it over again.

However, there is a way that you can write articles online and they will keep on providing money for you. The way to do this is by article marketing.

Article marketing is great because you can write on any subject you like. You will need to pick a subject that you can inform your readers on. For instance, if you love dogs, you could write about how to care for a puppy, or how to train a dog. Give value to the reader, perhaps by giving them tips that you have found useful.

In the resource box at the end of the article, you must put a link to the product you want the reader to buy. When they click on the link and buy the product you will make between 50% and 75% of the purchase price.

Not all directories allow you to put a link directly to the merchant's page, but you can give your reader even more value by writing a review page, perhaps with three to five products on. They will choose a product and then when they buy it, you get your percentage.

Although this is a simple enough method to make money online, it does require some work - you will have to write the articles in the first place.

There are lots of tips and little pieces of information that make this process easier, but we do not have the space here to write them.
