Posting your articles on the most popular article marketing sites may be good idea, but they do not pay you in any way other than directing some traffic to your site and’or giving you a byline. There are a few sites you can use for article marketing, that also promise to pay you for articles, share their revenue with you, or pay you per 1000 views of your articles. You won’t get rich off of these sites either, but if you’re a prolific writer, it may pay to submit your articles to Bukisa, HubPages, Helium, Suite101, eHow, demandstudios, AssociatedContent, Xomba, or Squidoo. But then again, if you’re a prolific writer, why not start your own blog and keep all the advertising revenue for yourself?
