TiffanyDow's Article Marketing Challenge
Day 0 to Day 30 Results
Day 0 to Day 30 Results
First of all, thanks to Tiffany for a great thread with a chance to win some great prizes. The only goal that I had in mind when I joined this challenge was to commit to submitting at least an average of 1 new article per day.
So, here's what I had in the beginning:
9 Live Articles
672 Views
30 Clicks
And now, after the 30 days, this is what I have:
33 Live Articles (with 10 still pending)
1320 Views
107 Clicks
The unforunate throughout the 30 Days - I made zero sales. Seeing how some people made sales and I had none kind of made me sad. However...
The great thing throughout the 30 Days:
1. Achieved my goal of at least 1 article per day
2. Found out which niche I really enjoyed writing about
3. Discovered that there's so much to learn about article marketing
4. Discovered I enjoyed learning despite having so much to learn
5. Found some really useful resources for future articles
6. I am as passionate about internet marketing today as I was on day 1
7. Keeping records really help to gauge how much I've progressed and what I can do to improve
8. Understood that things can only get better from here on out
9. To come full circle, having an achievable goal that stretched me is what helped me grow through these 30 days
So, that's my results after the 30 days. I enjoyed every single day that I created articles and am glad that I did so despite the challenges I face on a daily basis to create my articles.
What next after this? Next challenge that I'm setting for myself is to learn how to improve my click through rates in my articles.

Hi Asher,
Even though the 30 days are over for you, this thing is not done yet.
1. You still have articles pending.
2. The results of your 43 articles is far-reaching, not just here and now. I think we should revisit this contest after another 30 days to see where the articles we wrote NOW are and what they've done for us.

Hi Peggy,
You're very right. It's not over. It's not over until it's over ;D Definitely going to be generating more articles. ;D

Not only that...the articles that are sitting out there right now have a chance to be found, picked up and published elsewhere...FOREVER! That's a long time.
ALPosted 10-22-2008 at 06:22 AM by Allen Graves - Good point, Allen. That's probably why so many people use article marketing to achieve their goals. PPC does work, I'd have to say. But it requires a lot of "tuition" fees.
Article marketing's much better cause even if we (or maybe just me) screw up, the article might still do well in the future ;D
