It is often used in conjungtion with Clickbank ebooks and can be a good money maker. There are many websites that host ‘articles’ submitted by authors (you) and are searchable from the main search engines.

Articles are also often included in blogs and newsletters as a source of content. Writing articles, short topics of 500 – 1000 words is an excellent way to get started on the web. I am doing that with the help of a program called Video Cash Explosion which is highlighted in the sidebar.

If you get into article marketing you will come across one of the main websites at ezinearticles.com. You want to become a member. They have help section of the how to’s of article marketing that include tips for linking back to your website.
