ContentCaboodle.com is an article content directory that pays authors for submitting their quality articles. Its a great way for freelance writers or article marketers to add another stream of revenue to their article writings.
I’m really excited about this site. If you’ve visited my blog before you probably know that I make a large portion of my income with Internet Marketing through the use of article marketing. Its one of the fastest and easiest ways for reaching a targeted audience, and costs nothing to do.
Still, there are some draw-backs to article marketing. First, you’re creating quality content that gets published on a site you don’t own–and even if you get high click-thrus from your articles to your sites with Author’s Resource box links, you’ve still generated a fair bit of traffic that didn’t click-thru and benefit you for the publishing site. I’ve never really minded that as an article marketer, but I know a lot of people who do.
Another draw-back is that many Internet Marketers who use article marketing prefer to use direct affiliate links in their Author’s Resource boxes to avoid having to own and setup landing or sales pages and many article directories won’t allow these direct affiliate links anymore. Now, sometimes it pays to pre-sell traffic on your own pages, but if you’re promoting a product or service that already has a killer sales page you can drive traffic to its counter-productive to force visitors to make additional link clicks prior to converting.
This is what has me so excited about Content Caboodle, it addresses both of these issues perfectly.
Content Caboodle is paying authors for the page views their articles generate, so not only do you get the traffic that does click-thru to your own sites but you also earn revenue from all the traffic that visits your article pages on their site.
Also, Content Caboodle does allow direct affiliate links to be placed in the Author Resource boxes (though not in the article body text). This way article writers who want to send traffic straight to affiliate sales pages can do so.
Content Caboodle is new so the SEO benefits of publishing articles there may not be equal to some other article directories yet, but that will come naturally with time and meanwhile authors can earn some nice extra cash on this platform.
In the interest of full disclosure I want to make clear that my company is a financial supporter of ContentCaboodle.com and I personally have been closely associated with the planning, development and launch of this project. When the opportunity to become involved with a new article content platform opened up–given my personal interest in article marketing and article content directories–it was a no-brainer for me.
I believe we’ve created something that offers article writers an additional advantage and resource, and since I know many of my readers are also involved with article marketing I’d really appreciate hearing your feedback and suggestions for Content Caboodle.
