Are you a professional writer? If so, how many articles do you write on a weekly basis? If you are like many other professional writers, there is a good chance that your answer may be hundreds of articles. Out of those articles, no matter how large or small your number is, how many of your articles are similar in nature?

If you are also like many other professional writers in this aspect, your answer might be not many. Unfortunately, many writers mistakenly believe that they need to create an article and move onto other articles or other opportunities. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. If you play your cards right, you should be able to capitalize on one of your articles, in a number of different ways.

1) When it comes to making as much money as you can with one article, there are a number of important factors that must first be taken into consideration. For instance, are you writing your articles for someone else, a client? If so, did you or are you giving them full rights to your content? If that is the case, you entered a legal binding contract; however, there are still a number of ways that you can take that article and continue to profit from it.

You can do this by changing your content, so that it is slightly different, but enough to notice. Simply by changing your sentences, which can involve simply rearranging or adding in new words, you can create new content, although it is still the same. This will effectively get you around any copyright issues that you may otherwise face.

2) If you are not developing articles for a client, but rather developing them for your own use or if you plan on selling them later, you can still capitalize on your articles in different ways. When selling content that you developed yourself, on your own, you will want to refrain from giving the buyer full rights.

This is often referred to as non-exclusive rights. When giving a buyer non-exclusive rights, you stay the legal owner of the content. Essentially, this means that you can resell your article multiple times, without ever having to change a single word. Selling your articles with non-exclusive rights is one of the easiest and fastest ways to make the most money.
