One ver good way to increase your article revenue is to add links to your articles. You can link to other articles you have written or to products pages at amazon.com or ebay.com or references to other affiliate sites you own. You can put these links in at the bottom section of the wizard that says "links" but you are not allowed to put links in the article body because the article must not read like an advertizement. The article body is for the site and the link section is for you. Give and take. If you have submitted any articles to EzineArticles.com you will be familiar with this concept.

Make money from your writing by submitting your articles to search engines and social networking sites like Digg, Delicious,Myspace,Friendster,Twitter, and more. There are literally dozens of networking sites you can add your article URL to. I personally use Twitter, Facebook and Digg to name just a few.

Write about interesting topics that have not been done to death. Look for subjects with some competition but not a lot. Take an idea and put your own spin on it or look at it from another angle. For example instead of making your title: How to make money writing for Ehow- you could use How to write more articles to increase your earnings at Ehow. You can use this format to see how many other articles may have the same title you wish to use Site:ehow.com(make money with ehow)this will bring up all articles on the site that have that name or reference in the title. Just keep changing the keywords in the parentheses until you get results that show fewer pages. This way you will have a chance of your article being found and read.
