I received an email from Anders Sparre of Helium telling me that Helium is now included on Commission Junction. Okay, so CJ aren't exactly my favourite people, but this information may be of interest to others.Helium and other similar websites like Triond are programs whereby you can submit articles and get paid a small commission for doing so. With Triond the articles must be original and not published elsewhere.
Making money from articles is fine but sometimes it can be of more value if they can gain links, and therefore traffic, to your blog instead.
There are lots of websites that can help you do this - and in many cases it's okay if your articles have been published elsewhere.
This is very much like organised link baiting.
You submit your articles to the websites (there are 20 listed below) and once approved these are published. Once published they can then be copied by any website or blog who are looking for content. The important point is, that when they are copied, they must include a footnote and link to your own blog as well. You, therefore, get links and hopefully traffic as well.
Of course this is all dependent on your article and it's subject matter. Some articles may not get syndicated in this way. It's necessary to write about subjects which you think other site owners may want to copy and publish.
As you will no doubt have realised, these sites have another value besides getting you links. They can also provide you with free content for your own blog if you get stuck for something to publish.
Here is a list of twenty websites that will syndicate your articles.

Give a couple a try and see how you get on. The thing is, you never know who may take a liking to your article. Plus a good article may have a viral effect and spread from blog to blog or website to website. You never know in life what can happen.
Good luck,
Mike.
