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!”
My Article Marketing Secret of the Day
Nov 24th
Some of you may know that part of my business is writing articles. In fact, if you do a little snooping, you can find dozens of articles authored by yours trulyfloating around. Why am I doing this? Articles submitted to article directories get backlinks! These backlinks are applied toward your Google search rankings. So you better believe this is important.
I thought I might share a little inside secret with everyone today. Any experienced article writers can probably skip over this posting, because you already know about this secret.
Check out this website:
JetSpinner.com – Your Article Spinning Resource
It should have openned in a new window, so you can continue reading here and checking out that page. Watch the video. See what JetSpinner has to say. You should quickly realize the benefits of using this tool.
So you spend a few minutes writing a quick article. How do you maximize the return on your work? Spin it! You’ll get multiple articles out of that one bit of work. These articles can be submitted to different article directories or posted on your blogs.
You might be wondering, “Why can’t I just submit the same article everywhere?” Because of duplicate content- the kiss of death from Google. If you post the same article in more than one place, Google sees through your ploy. They won’t count those backlinks toward your search ranking. That’s a waste of your time and effort.
So there you have it. That’s the secret of the day, and I’m glad to provide it. If you want to know more about article marketing (I know there are some new IMers here), check out UndercoverBum.com – my favorite little resource for learning about the basics.
Good luck, all! And go make some money.
