Article content isn’t just big online, it’s huge. Everyone needs content, and articles form a major part of the Web content on many sites.

So, since articles are highly prized, you can make money writing and selling articles in dozens of ways online, but in this blog post I’ll cover just one of them: writing articles as niche content, also known as creating Private Label Rights (PLR) article packs.

Writing/ selling articles as niche content

Web publishers create niche Web sites to cash in on advertising and affiliate revenue. You’ll find niche Web sites on just about anything you can think of online, and many things you’d never think of in a thousand years.

Niche sites are profitable when there are advertisers. For example, “ice cream” is a niche. Type “ice cream” without the quotes into Google, and you’ll notice the sponsored links (advertisers) on the right side of the page. This shows you that this niche is profitable.

So you could write one or many articles on the glories of ice cream, and find buyers for your content, because the niche is profitable. Yes, I said BUYERS. You’re selling your articles as niche content, and you can sell your articles to as many people as you please. Some PLR content creators cap the number of copies of a series of articles they sell at 200, but how many you sell is up to you.

You can see where writing ten articles about ice cream and selling 200 copies of the articles as a PLR pack for $10 per pack adds up.

Bonus tip: if you want to learn about writing articles for the Web, I urge you to study Wikipedia for linking strategies. Linking is at the heart of article writing for the Web, yet most Web writers (and Web site owners) are blissfully unaware of the power of linking.
