If you are already in the internet marketing area, it is much easier for you to pick up a subject. Otherwise, you can pick up a subject of your liking or a subject relating to a hot product or service and weave an article around it. Your article must address a problem and present a powerful solution. While presenting a solution, you can redirect your visitors to your own website if you have one, or you can send them to your affiliate merchant’s site, through your resource box, where merchant’s sales page will close the sale for you.
Following important points need to be borne in mind for an article to be successful and profitable.
• Should point to good product or service

• Research (brainstorm for keywords and title writing)
• Title of the article should be catchy to draw reader’s attention.

All article directories generally allow posting of resource box. This resource box is also termed signature file. It should have 'polite and strong sales pitch on your product. Through resource box, you can either soft sell your product or use it as your opt-in list builder.
For research work, you would need a tool like keyword elite, wordtracker or overture. There are many tools to perform this task but serious marketers use the first two vastly. Free tools render diluted results, which is waste of time.
As for product selection, you would need to join Clickbank, Commission Junction or other independent merchants who provide lot of good products for sale by affiliates. This exercise also needs some research on your part to finding which products are currently selling. Clickbank is a great place, which provides you all the needed information on the popularity of a product so you can have an idea how a product is performing. There will normally be no problem if you go by the top category.
The most import step of all the above exercise is submitting article to article directories where it will get scattered all over the internet. You will start seeing results of your hard work in a month or two.
