● [METHOD] ● Article Arbitrage: How to Earn $1000+ for Each Article You Publish

Which media buying sites work best for this?

I never saw so little value for a method post.

It's basically:
Write article, choose ad network, get traffic, make money.

No offense though.

Well im curious to know how you are doing, you made it sound very simple. I’ve doing for quite sometime and it’s a struggle, even when my visitors go through 35 pages per session, can barely break even. Single page post? LOL. And I have around 5 ads per page (Adx + Adsense) + Taboola widget. I’m targeting USA from Taboola ads. Desktop traffic around $0.05 cpc. It’s not just write article and add ads. Maybe you mean spend $5000 and make $1000, then yea it would probably make sense.
Unless I’m missing something for the past year and doing it completely wrong.

Well there is always interest its like you are trying to presell this method

Yes, would love to know how @GringoMonkey is doing this

TBH if you were to expand on one point be it nr.7 -- What are good media buying sites? It feels like advertisers like Taboola have a really low quality inventory where I wouldn't want to drive traffic from. That's just my impression though.

Have you ever wondered how to maximise the value of every article you publish?

Discover Below the 7 Steps I follow to Earn $1000+
for Each Article I Publish on My Own Website

You may or may not know that before I moved into IM I worked for a UK national newspaper and various international magazines.

My process basically takes what I learnt there and brings it online.

You first have to think of your website as a magazine and build out from that premise.

STEP 1 – Focus and choose a niche, just like a magazine
STEP 2 – Brand your website
STEP 3 – Search for viral content in your niche
STEP 4 – Rewrite the viral content as a feature article for your magazine site
STEP 5 – Place ads around the article to monetize
STEP 6 – Create your own click bait ad, using a snippet of the article
STEP 7 – Use Media Buying to drive cheap clicks to the article

If this thread gets some traction then over the coming days I will go through each point outlined above and expand on it in more detail…​

What id the best media buying platform to use? And how much is considered a good return on investment on such operation in your opinion ?
I've tried something like this in the past and I failed miserably. I hope your answers will help me.

I have written the introduction, not the whole method in detail. I explained as the thread progresses i will expand on each point.

The entire method is outlined in the introduction, but you would need to already understand the importance of each step and you dont, which is why you missed the most important part out in your summary,

By the time i have finished you will see all, which is why you see no value at the moment.

In my experience people that struggle to profit with this type of model dont understand the difference between brand building content and money making content.

35 pages? Are you running a quiz type site by any chance?

I am not going to sell a method, my aim is to detail it in this thread.

But it will take me some time to write it all, which is why today i wrote the intro. Then if there is sufficient interest i will expand on each step one at a time, when i have time.

@RealDaddy @paraztos @Sweetrevenge You will need to understand all the steps else none will work in isolation for you. So, you will just have to be patient.

I have a little time, so I will start the more in-depth posts on this method...

Based on the few comments I have had I thought it best to start with an overview.

ARBITRAGE = "the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different marketplaces in order to profit from tiny differences in the asset's listed price".

As a formula you buy traffic for $X and resell it for $X+$Y, with $Y being your profit.

In this case you buy traffic and send it to your feature article for $X and then resell the traffic for $X+$Y.

So, if it costs you $5 to send 100 visitors you will need to be able to resell the traffic for $5+$Y, otherwise you will not have a profitable business model.

Remember with Arbitrage the money is not made on a single sale but on the volume of sales, so you will need to be able to fund a lot of traffic to make a lot of money.

To be successful, you need to have realistic expectations, balanced against self-awareness and blend that with time, skills and money.

That means if you do not have money to buy traffic, then this arbitrage business model is not for you.

Before you begin writing you should first figure out what article you are going to write, how much it will cost to drive traffic to it and how you are going to monetise it profitably. Then decide if it is worth doing.

These 7 steps are an entire process to help you do that, you will not find success trying to cherry pick a specific step and missing out the rest...


There are certain niches that work with this method and there are certain niches that don't.

Remember to think like you are building a magazine. So, to stand the best chance of attracting high paying advertisers you will need to run a whitehat, family friendly site on an evergreen topic.

These are the broad evergreen niches that work well with this method:

Beauty, Business, Celebrity, Entertainment, Finance, Fitness, Health, Nature, Sport, Technology, Travel.

You can also go down to a sub-niche level if you prefer and just focus on that.
For example: NICHE= Health -> SUB-NICHE= Mental Heath

Drill down any further than the sub-niche level and you will start to have difficulty creating high quality content at scale and/or monetising it profitably.

If what you want to do does not fall into one of the above niches you will probably have difficulty creating high quality content and/or monetising it profitably.

That's it for today, when I have some more time I will get onto detailing STEP 2 – Brand your website...

Stay here to learn from guys

i love formula one, i think is a good niche, waiting for other steps

waiting for detailed method, where to bring cheap traffic from

Lets say I can do my own article writing/spinning from other sites,
How much traffic and money it takes to make $1000? How long it would take?
