Great blog. Thanks! Article Marketing is a great, and free, way to get traffic to promote your product or niche. Done right and it can get amazing results. Done badly and it can lead to so much frustration. We all start off somewhere and wuickly learn to get better. However, article marketing does require a lot of work to be effective.

Article Marketing is one of the best ways you can promote your website and the products that you sell. The articles that you publish online or offline also helps to establish the credibility of your website or product. `

Article Marketing is really a good way in promoting your products and also your website. i used to write health articles on a big pharmaceutical company for the purpose of article marketing.

Hey Sara, thanks for commenting. I’ll do my best to answer all of your questions.

1. About 98% of my article marketing is through EzineArticles. That’s probably not the best idea because if something happens to EZA I’ll lose a lot of traffic. But I’ve tried a lot of other directories and EZA just blows them all away.
2. I’ve tried outsourcing but I mostly write my own articles. I do buy some PLR content to rewrite which saves some time, but I agree I couldn’t come close to 30 articles a day. I’d burn out very quickly at that right. I just concentrate on staying consistent and the number of articles slowly builds to an impressive level. Be the tortoise, not the hare.
3. You should check out the Warrior Forum. There are always writers looking for work there. Try a few out on small jobs, have them write 3 or 4 articles for you so you can get an idea of their style. Some will be crap but you may be able to find a gem in there. But be aware that you usually get what you pay for.
4. I don’t kill myself trying to optimize the articles too much, I just write for humans and try to sprinkle in my main keyword phrase naturally. The only place I really emphasize SEO is the title. But KEYWORD RESEARCH is vital. It’s all about finding high search volume/low competition keyword phrases that you can rank for.

Good luck!
Mike

Now, I have a couple of questions for you. One is, this is just submitting to Ezinearticles right? Ezinearticles give me a hard time with accepting my articles, so I use other article directories such as Goarticles, thefreelibrary, etc. In other words, I do bum marketing. I will write about 10 articles and submit them to about 4-5 article directories in the hope of gaining traffic. Unfortunately, I only receive about 60 visitors per day to my sites, which means two things: Google de-indexes my articles (for duplicate content; posting the same article to one article directory), and many of these article directories have now converted to ‘nofollow’ meaning you can’t get any linkjuice

My only conclustion is to write way more articles. 20-30 a day and submit them to about 6-7 of the top article directories with no lower than a page rank of 4. BUT, when you are on a low budget and don’t have the resources or money to outsource your article writing, this can be VERY tedious, writing 20 articles per day and submitting them to multiple article directories! YIKES!

I guess my question to you is this;

1)Do you ONLY use Ezinearticles for your article marketing efforts?
2)DO you write the articles yourself or outsource; surely you can’t right over 29 articles per day without getting fatigued!
3)if you outsource, can you recommend a good place to find article writers that work for low or decent wages?
4)Did you incoporate SEO into your articles?

THanks in advance. And I will subscribe to your blog. Thanks

With article marketting is it bad to submit the same article to several sites? Will Google see it as duplicate content and hence devalue it~?

The more articles you write, the more traffic you are going to receive. Some people use article marketing as their only form of advertising and they are full time internet marketers. EzineArticles is by far the best... Matt Helphreys last blog post..Develop a Link Building Strategy
