Article Marketing Still Works
Dec 4th
I still write articles and submit to EzineArticles.com. Why? Because it still brings me quality traffic that converts. It still delivers high rankings in Google. It still works for my business. The articles I wrote 2 years ago are still driving traffic to my products, and they are still earning me more money.
Despite the fact that this technique has been around for years and is still effective… many internet marketers refuse to take advantage of it. Why? All I can figure is laziness. Sure, there are folks who focus exclusively on PPC or whatever and make tons of money. I can understand why they aren’t writing articles. But the people who are struggling to get started online, who haven’t earned a single dime, and who are begging for a silver bullet… these are the people who aren’t writing articles. And that makes me sad.
Why are so few people using article marketing? Because it involves work – actual, honest to god work. People hate writing. And they think making money online is the result of some special combination of WordPress plugins or secret Adwords methods. So they continue to search for that one secret they need to learn. If they spent that time writing a couple articles instead of reading Warrior Forum, they might make a couple bucks. But most beginners just don’t do it.
There’s no real “hot tip” in my post today. Just a reminder that this old fashioned way of driving traffic is still an option. It’s just as effective as it was years ago. My articles regularly get click-thru rates of 30% and higher. Some of them as high as 60%. That’s money in my pocket, and it should be money in your pocket too.
If you really need an action plan, go build an affiliate site promoting my product at RecordingStudioProfits.com. The commission is about $29/sale. It’s converting really well right now, and my affiliates are starting to make more and more every month. Once you’ve built a quick landing page to promote the product, submit a couple articles to EzineArticles.com. Topics could be anything related to recording studios, home studios, sound engineering, etc. This niche has been getting high CTRs for me on my articles. You should be able to earn some quick commissions. Then I’ll send you a commission check and a note that says, “I told you article marketing still works!”
New Product Is Live – Want To Be An Affiliate?
Jun 5th
I have been working with my buddy Ryan Fine, who is a professional DJ in Knoxville, TN. What we put together is a business startup course that is unmatched. I picked Ryan’s brain for almost 3 hours, recorded the audio, and put together a whole pack of extra materials to help anybody get started in the mobile DJ business.
Why did I want to create this product? Why did I even agree to get involved with it?
Because the mobile DJ business is seriously simple. There was a time, several years ago, when I decided to go into business with Ryan. We were both going to be DJs and we were very excited. Well, the wide world of Internet marketing slapped me in the face and stuffed my wallet full of cash. So I bailed on the DJ business. But Ryan carried on. Now, years later, Ryan is doing very well with his business. Zero help from me, no business background, and just a few pieces of DJ equipment. More >
3 New Domains = 2 Products + 1 “Brand”
Mar 26th
So I like to keep this site up to date – but that often fails. Actually, I often fail. So instead of sharing any groundbreaking marketing tactics today (as if I knew any!), I thought I would tell you what I’m up to with my business.
This may not be new stuff to you, but maybe it is.
- I bought 3 new domains just a couple days ago, slapped WordPress on those babies, and now I’m working up some content.
- 2 domains are for new products. $97 for each course, probably downloadable content. But they could be physical – I’m not 100% sure about it yet. I considered adding some continuity, but I’ll keep it simple for now. I’m running them through PayDotCom for a few affiliates. And I’ll be using PPC for my main traffic source – got some good keywords that won’t cost much at all. More >
Craigslist, Review Page, Extra Cash
Jan 24th
I want to share a little success I had this week. Remember, I’m no big shot guru. I’m just a grad student, small time Internet marketing fiend, and all around awesome dude (right?).
So if you read back to my post from earlier in the week, I was pissing and moaning about an affiliate site not converting to any sales. Well, it turned around and made a sale right after I posted that bitch-fest! But I never revealed what made the difference. Here’s how it breaks down: More >
Foot In My Mouth – Screw Affiliate Marketing Take 2
Jan 22nd
I’m a pretty open guy, so when it comes to making mistakes – I don’t mind admitting my failure. Today’s big failure? The failure to keep my mouth shut long enough!
Read my last post, and you’ll see that I was a bit frustrated with affiliate marketing this morning. A recent review site I built was not converting the large CTR into sales, and I was tired of promoting “crappy” products. Thankfully, I didn’t name any names. Because as irony would have it – I made the 1st sale today. More >
