Hey Jeff,

that is certaintly some good points going on there in your short article :)

Yes, There are more and more individuals buying or submitting articles which were not written by them and it doesn't sound anymore original.

Most of the time these articles are not meant to being them anything but just link popularity and it does work. Its really too bad to us that is producing genuine reports and articles written by ourselves but I have been thinking that If I could just have someone who edits for me and I just draft out the article that would be great wouldn't it ?

Besides , it would still look and feel original except for the fact that my article got 'cleaned' by a ghostwriter or a freelance author. All contents and ideas coming from that article is still original.

What do you think about this ? :)

Cheers,

Vern

Writing articles specific to one's niche is a great way to establish oneself as an authority in that area.

Since Article directories have high PR, a duplicate article copy means searches will display the article directory instead of the copy at your website. Its a good idea to change your article a little before posting it on your website.

After I wrote my first article I got 3 new sign ups with in a week. I was picked up write away by a few ezines. One of the directories gave me some upgraded status I can't remember what it was. But I had a great idea for an article and I just let it flow and boom! great article. Now my subsequent articles have not been as good. I have another great idea, I just have to find the time to write it.

So my advice to you would be when you get that awesome idea for a topic, write it down straight away before you forget what the idea was. Then think back to 7th grade English class and write a outline and follow it. I'm not sure you asked for advice on writing articles, but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. ;)

When I follow my outline my writing comes out much more organized and well thought out. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain so if I don't do that my articles will not flow properly.

 

Good luck to you!

Let me just say that I have written 200 article over the past month and I have generated over $650 in new income and 10 new affiliates for my SFI business.  With articles you create traffic that will never end.  I can say that article marketing works very well, but you need to learn how to optimize for the search engines and where to submit or you'll never make it.

I need a solid and effective resource for articles and article submission.

I've had great results with email marketing using Rent-A-List and also ezine solo ads using a few sources and theyr'e pretty much on auto-pilot now.

So now I want to master article writing and submission. My writing skillset is really good so I know it will be fun, I just need to fine tune the process so I don't waste time or money.

Any solid info would be awesome guys and gals...

Thanks!

 

Franco

Hello Franco,

Try this as a starting point.

http://www.squidoo.com/article-marketing/ and explore from there. I had another great link for you, but it seems most of the free info is gone?

Anyway, here is a good course, no affiliate link

http://www.freetraffictip.com/2-article-marketing/hpa-1.php

 

 

Good luck and let us know your results.

 

Jeff

Thank YOU Franco,

 

But I don't have an affiliate link. I took the course, which is very good. But got an error way back when, when signing up for the affiliate prgram.

 

I'm not concerned about the commission.

 

But thank you very much.

 

Jeff

Articles are a great way to promote yourself and generate leads in the long term.

Your articles must be content rich and have the give before want attitude. in other words if you are all about pushing your mlm down somebody's throat you'll be perceived as that and articles will be a waste of time for you.

You will also need to be consistant as developing relationships takes time.

Good luck.

Another reminder that once you start writing articles.

Do make a conscious effort to be consistent at it.

I believe that the new year will be full of new resolutions
and many other marketers are making changes in their
own marketing techniques to accomodate for the growing
population over the internet.

If you have any more good and new strategies to share
regarding article marketing please do so.

Try combining your old articles into an informative, consolidated report.
Give away the report to people that opt in on your list.
This way, you leverage on your work many times over.

Articles are a great way to drive traffic but it is a long term strategy not a short term fix.  you need to have a good article submitter so you can submit to directories.

Thats a good idea...

Now, let me get to work and pen it down.

Compile the articles and put it into a single report

Hi, I have been writing articles for about 18 months, mainly on investment property. I have found that ideamarketers is one of the best article sites to use. If you are short on cash - aren't we all - you can enter your article for free. You can always bid ( up to about $50) for top position which gets picked up by many syndicators. I often have 'battles' with Willie Crawford for top slot. My google ratings have gone up, and if you do a google search on say geoff morris property, geoff morris pensions, geoff morris money, you will find me in the top 3 - 5 most of the time thanks to my articles posted everywhere.

Hi, Yes, article writing IS a long term strategy, but start NOW - keep it going , with at least one article a week - or more - but after 12 weeks or so, guess what? You will have a continuous list of traffic to your site. Once you have you pipeline, success is yours.

If you can't or don't want to write your own articles, join a PLR site like Article Underground, and have more articles than you can handle...

Hi Sherman,

Yes. And I absolutely missed your presence in
those leadership gatherings. Please come more
often and I need a fellow marketer to be there
with me making candid comments too.

Hi geoff,

I understand your sharing and I've never really thought
of it you know - bidding for the top spot.

The point you made is very valid too.

I have to confess...  I'm not very disciplined in writing at
least 1 article a week. :D

During the next few weeks I'll be designing a 3 month
plans on writing a set of article to build my pipeline strategy.

I also write articles on a regular basis and have found it to be very useful. I agree that you need to do it consistently, once a week at least. I use ArticleMarketer.com. There is a small fee involved, but it is well worth it. The tell you what is wrong, if anything, how to correct it, distribute it to I can't tell you how many publishers, etc. It is a great way of advertising, plus offering others helpful hints, advice.

Is it possible for someone to do article marketing when don't consider yourself much of a writer and really have no idea what to say? I generate leads with google adwords, ezines and blogs, but have heard article marketing is a great way to generate leads. It is also free, isn't that correct?
