By far one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to profit from articles is to create your own article directory but NOT in the way the general crowd are doing it.
I'm talking about NICHE article directories such as a Home Improvement Directory, Health Directory, etc.

Why Niche?

Because everyone and their dog in recent months have tried to start their own article directory and almost all of them are struggling to make them work.

They are all making the same mistake. There are already plenty of big successful article directories online and competing against these guys is always going to be tough work.

But going niche gives you the edge.

My reasoning behind this is the same as in any over saturated market.

Take the popular field of online dating. There are already very established and successful dating sites online that have virtually cornered the market and any newcomers struggle to even make a dent.

But those who have gone Niche are succeeding. Dating sites have sprung up for Christians, Jews, Gays, Horse Lovers and so on.

Some have succeeded going what I call sub-niche: For example within the Christian niche there are sites for Catholics, Pentecostals, etc.

I hope you see what I mean by going niche and with this concept in mind my private label articles concentrate on niches such as home improvement which in turn has thousands of sub-niches.

By joining a private label article membership you receive 200 brand new articles every month that you can expand your article directory with. If you stick with it in one year you would have an article directory website consisting of a minimum of 2400 pages.

Every one of those pages earning income from Google Adsense, or from affiliate programs or capturing email addresses for your list.

An even more important advantage of an article directory with your private label articles is in the fact that you can add your own resource box to each and every article.

What does this mean?

It means everytime another webmaster uses your articles they are linking back to your websites increasing your search engine exposure and in turn your profit potential.
