As a general rule, money making traffic will always come from search engine traffic. It will not come from your friends and relatives, nor your colleagues online. What you will get from those people is encouragement, help, and some backlinks. But in the end, it is up to your own hard work, and excellent writing skills to draw in the people who will buy from your articles.
People that find you via search engines are already interested in your topic, and what you have to say. They WANT to read your article before they even get there. Therefore, the likelihood that they will buy from you is much, much higher.
That is why you need to make sure that your articles get found on the search engines. Google is currently the largest search engine, but Yahoo and Bing also bring in significant traffic. Depending on your niche, you may find that there is another search engine that brings you a lot of traffic. Figuring out where your customers may be is part of your research.

I agree that you have to keep on writing. I have yet to start earning, but I remember starting Squidoo and wondering if it was worth ot, then things started happening. I have just over one month here, so I am in the getting found stage.
Thank you for this, it's very helpful for a newbie like me!
Good advice. Making from online writing might take time, but with persistence and a willingness to learn, it will happen.
Great article! It does take a while and there is so much to learn. I am just starting to make little bits here and there, but I know it's possible with lots of hard work.
Great work! Thanks!!
@paperfacets I am glad that I can be of help. :) Go for it.
Many thanks. I always feel I have learned something when I read your articles. My next step is to write another article so I have two completed. Then I can apply for that AdSense account.
very very useful for a new wizzbee like me! Ha well not so new but I need to spend some time with wizzley as well now.
Well, with all this information at my fingertips, I'd better start writing - I haven't written any articles on Wizzley yet, but have one in mind
@drspaniel Glad I could help.
