If you’re like me, you’re suspicious or perhaps even downright dismissive when you read about ways to make extra cash online. But I am so happy (and richer) because I gave the Affiliate Article Marketing Program a try.

Do you want to hear some numbers? How about two. That’s the number of articles I write, at most, per week, and that’s  usually the number of hours it takes me. Now here’s a bigger number for you: $500. That’s how much money I earned in one week after I had built up a catalog of articles.

My story

While I don’t make $500 every week, I have made some extra cash every week since I started writing for the Affiliate Article Marketing Program. It fluctuates between $5o and $500, but given the amount of time I put into it, it’s always a huge return. The key is to keep producing more articles, even if it’s only one or two per week.

Each time one of my articles makes a sale, I get between $30 and $70. So if I spent one hour on an article and it makes three sales, that hour just earned me a minimum of $90. Those are some high wages. The more articles you write, the more likely you are to make money. Furthermore, you can keep collecting commissions for articles you wrote months or even years ago. Every time an article your write makes a sale, you’ll get the commission, no matter how old the article is.

How it works

In order to make serious extra cash through the Affiliate Article Marketing Program, study up on payday loans, installment loans, cash advances and all types of short-term loans. You’ll do even better if you’ve successfully used these financial services before.

Write an informative article 300-500 words long. Any time someone clicks “apply now” on your article and follows through with getting a payday loan, you’ll get a commission. My commissions usually are about $40, so even if I only make one sale every day, I make more than $300 a week. Did I mention how amazingly nice it is to get a check every week?

The more the merrier

As I mentioned, it’s important to get as many articles online as you can. This increases your chances of making money. Even though your articles can still make money for you years after you have written them, newer articles will get more traffic, so you should keep writing new ones all the time.

I’ve noticed that if I go a couple of weeks without writing articles, my sales will drop about two weeks later. Sure, the size of your checks or Paypal payments can be unpredictable, but if you keep creating fresh content, you’ll keep making sales.

Be patient

It took a little while and a lot of articles for me to work up to making $500 a week, but it was more than worth it. Furthermore, you get your commissions two weeks after you make the sales, so you won’t be getting instant money, but mark my words: Once it starts rolling in, in just keeps coming.

I use my checks from the Affiliate Article Marketing Program to supplement my regular income, so I don’t spend a lot of time writing articles. But now that I’ve built up a big collection of articles, I can spend just a couple of hours per week and still make a few hundred dollars. And if you write more articles than I do or make higher sales, you could  make even more than that.

The real thing

I’m a real person who has made real money. If you have questions you can even e-mail my gmail account, paydayloanprincess. I’d be happy to answer questions for you or tell you more about my experiences. It is definitely worth the time investment to join the Affiliate Article Marketing Program.

I am sure everyone has noticed all of the Facebook profiles popping up that are solely for the purpose of selling something. As you can probably imagine, people see through those pretty quickly. When a company poses as a person and tries to get Twitter followers and Facebook friends it doesn’t work out very well.

The point is, if you wait until you’ve got something to sell or a business to promote to make friends, it’s not going to work out very well. However, everyone always wants to help out their friends. If you are one of those people who is holding out on getting a Facebook account, you might want to reconsider.

Friends help out friends

I am not saying that you should get on Facebook and make friends with people just so you can sell something someday. What I am saying is that social networks make life — and business — a lot easier. So after you set up your vast Facebook network, make sure you jump on opportunities to help out your friends when they could use a little free marketing. For instance, I have linked to my articles about payday loans on Facebook, and my friends posted the links on their pages, too.

Facebook is a great way to get the word out about things. If you really love a business or service, chances are you’ll tell your friends about it. Furthermore, if you come up with a business or service, people who are friends with you are more likely to use it. At the very least, your friends would be happy to tell their friends about your business.

Take the power back

Another thing Facebook does in the marketing world is give more power to customers. If someone has 300 friends on Facebook and tells all of them that they hate a certain tire place or coffee shop, it could hurt that business. Especially because people tend to live in the same area as their friends, if a local joint gives bad service to someone who has a popular Facebook profile, they could be in trouble.

Now that people have the power to very easily send the same message to hundreds of people at the same time, businesses have more reason to treat each and every customer well. It has always been the case that “important” people and celebrities seem to get special treatment. But now, everyone who walks through the door of a business could potentially have a million friends on Facebook and could easily kill a lot of new business that they might have otherwise gotten.

Getting stuff done

I have heard a lot of stories about people selling things quickly on Craigslist. The only way things sell faster is through Facebook. If you come up with a product that people want and advertise it through your personal Facebook account, it could potentially sell very quickly and easily. And it’s free!

There are tons of ads on Facebook, and Facebook even tailors its ads to target certain people. For instance, I mention the movie “The Big Lebowski” on my Facebook page, and I often see ads on my page for “The Big Lebowski” T-shirts. I am sure those people pay pretty good money for ad space on Facebook, but if you build up a large social network, you’ll already have all the free advertising space you’ll ever need.
