1. Use Social Media - Posting links to your reviews to
facebook,
myspace,
twitter, or any other social networking site can be a great way to make more money from them. If you currently have an account with 1 or two of these sites then you should consider opening accounts with the others too, perhaps under a pen name.
There are also various tools out there which you can use to increase your followers / friends on these sites. More followers = more readers so it is worth looking into using these. We will be adding an article here soon about the best ones.
2. Use Social Bookmarking Websites - More links not only means more direct visits to your pages, but also means that you get a better position in search engine results pages. Social bookmarking sites are a useful tool for promoting your work and building links.
http://addtosocial.com is a free online tool which makes it easy to submit your links to the top 100+ social bookmarking websites.
3. Write articles on related subjects and then use them to link back to your review - There are loads of article directory website out there which will allow you to publish an article with 2 or 3 links included. The top ones such as
http://ezinearticles.com and
http://articlebase.com rate quite highly with google, meaning that they can be a very effective marketing tool.
There are two things that you should remember when doing this: Firstly, google recognizes duplicate content and gives it a low rating, so you should add unique content to each of the article directories you use, rather than submiting the same article to all of them. Secondly, the value of a link is calculated be google partly according to the similarity of content between the 2 pages, so make sure your articles are relevant to the reviews you are linking to, and preferably contain some of the same words in the title and tags.
4. Start A Blog - You can set up a free blog at sites like
wordpress.org or
blogger.com. Each time you publish a review post a link to it on your blog with a sentence or two explaining what it is, and then use some of the methods above to promote your blog too!
You can also submit your blog to the many blog toplist and blog directory sites out there for some free promotion which will add further to the value of the links you post there. This can be a great way to get your reviews onto that all important first page of search results, as google rates in-post blog links quite highly.
If possible you should also add a few posts to your blog with genuine unique content rather than just links. One nice idea is to use your free blog to record your experiences as an online writer and offer tips from the things you learn along the way to other aspiring writers.
5. Vote, Comment and Make Friends - reviews which receive enough votes to be promoted to the popular sections of the site, including the main homepage, get more traffic and therefore make more money than the ones which don't. Aside from good quality writing the best way to get votes for your work is to get involved in the community, voting and commenting on the things that other people publish.
If you follow these 5 simple methods then you will see an increase in the amount you earn from your work. If you can put in 5-10 hours per week promoting the reviews that you publish, alongside writing new ones, then within a few months you should be earning a substantial income from your writing.
But remember that it will take time to build up the amount of content that you have published and the number of links coming in to it. Very few writer will make more than a few dollars in their first month, but if you are persistent and keep going then the amount of money you earn will go up month after month indefinitely, even though you are still working the same number of hours.
