Default Article Marketing: My Old Reliable

So recently, I have gotten into CPA. I started by using PPV. Not much luck. Really only one product sold at a decent rate, and it has a low commission

So I decided to go back to what has always made me money in the past, and that's article marketing. Took about five products, wrote an article for each, threw up a pretty slim Blogger blog for each niche

My results: two sales from those five articles. Now, will that make me rich? No, but I spent absolutely nothing and made back about $50 (so far)

My point is that article marketing is (and may always will be) the best way to get cheap, targeted traffic to your sites. If you don't have a big advertising budget (or any advertising budget at all!) do not overlook article marketing

Yep it is a good steady way to get started. Just don't be 100% reliant on article traffic because it's never going to be huge. Try and figure out how you can afford to pay more for traffic

When you can do this, more doors open and you can drive lots more traffic. But keep up the good work, a couple of sales is better than nothing. Although it didn't cost you money, it did cost you some time. Just remember that.

I agree with the part about not being 100% reliant, but article traffic can be enormous if you target the right keywords and write articles that are little pre-selling machines with excellent resource boxes at the end. You can make a good living off nothing more than steady article traffic and a nicely converting sales page.

So I don't know that I agree about the "huge" part. That's subjective, of course, but let's say you can build a very large flow of steady traffic with articles. Doesn't even have to be a lot of them, if you pick the right niche and the right keywords.

I would say article marketing is by far the fastest way when it comes to getting quick traffic. You can write an article and expect traffic the very next day.

The reason why article marketing is the best and most effective in my eyes is the fact that I left one of my sites completely alone for a year - no blog posts, no nothing, and the sales and affiliate income were still coming in via the only marketing I ever did for the site and that was articles. You can't dispute that. Now you combine that with a little optimization and picking the right keywords -- it's pure bliss...

Trust me, I don't just do article marketing. This is mainly for those who aren't making any money at all

But even though I make hundreds each day off PPC, I still use article marketing. That's how much I believe in it

If you have...

100 articles and each article generates 1 daily visitor to your site..

You'll have..

100 visitors in one day or
3,000 visitors in a month..or
36,000 visitors in a year..

Let's say, your affiliate site converts at 2% (industry standard)
and you're selling $20 ebook

You'll earn..
$40 a day or
$1,200 in a month or
$14,400 in a year..


That's not all.If you build backlinks for all those 100 articles and it's in top 10 of SE, how much do you think you'll earn?

Of course it will take time but it's worth the trouble and effort.It works just like "set and forget" it method that really works

I'm a big believer in article marketing too. I had a niche that was withering away and dying a slow death. I submitted six articles on Monday, they went to live on Wednesday and on Thursday (yesterday) I made $50 in that niche.

Now I need to point some back links to those articles to see if I can get them ranking in the search engines.
