Who else is just starting out on the article marketing path? Are you curious about the BEST way to make a bundle of dough using nothing but your intellect, your keyboard and a passion to pound out copious amounts of content that converts like crazy? If you are anything like I used to be when I first got started with article marketing, you've probably got MORE questions...
than you do honest answers, right? And YES, I know what you're thinking right now...
and I want to address is straight out of the gate: You are wondering if you need to be blessed with unusual good looks and an uncommon mastery of the English language like me to succeed with article marketing, right? It's a good question...
and one I appreciate you asking.
I'm also an excellent tennis player in case you were wondering.
But the simple truth is that almost ANYONE can master the fine art and science of parlaying their passion into profit...
and I'm going to share my 3 favorite tips with you below: Tip #1: Give UP on the Gurus (Yes...
that includes the guy whose list you joined an hour ago) Why? Because there are NO secrets to making money with articles.
You write good content.
Your readers enjoy your content and want to learn more.
You recommend GOOD solutions that serve them well.
They click on your links...
they avail themselves of your solutions, and everyone is happy.
Article marketing is TOTALLY transparent, too.
In other words, if a guy is selling a course on how to improve your resource box...
all you really need to do is LOOK at his resource box to know what he's selling..
:-) Make sense? Good.
Because this alone will save you the next 2 years of your life..
:-) Tip #2: Quantity Counts If someone tells you that "an article a day" is ENOUGH to make a living online...
you need to hightail it in the other direction.
Why? It's not...
I create tons of content in each niche I'm publishing in, and I have the luxury of outsourcing a lot of my work.
(and I still write FAR more than the equivalent of an article a day) The truth is, the more content you create...
the more eyeballs you'll get in front of your offers.
(and the more money you'll make...
it's really that simple) Tip #3: Choose Your Niches Wisely (especially if you are an Affiliate Marketer) This article I'm writing right now will NOT be seen my many people.
Why? Because it's not a sexy niche.
It's not a high volume category.
And while I have REAL expertise when it comes to this topic...
sadly, thousands of people will read OTHER content I've created today in other areas where I DON'T have similar skill.
The reason why? A lot of your success as an article marketer depends on the NICHE you select...
especially if you are an active affiliate.
The first one MILLION views I got my very first year had more to do with the niches I published in...
than they did the quality of the content I was creating.
(honest...
but true) Go where the competition is...
and drink from the FIRE HOSE and not the faucet.
(more competition means more traffic...
and more traffic means MORE money...
period!)
