Article Marketing: How many articles a day?

[asciscopecunia]

Hi all,

I have been doing article marketing for the past few months and these are my results so far:

Number of articles submitted a day: 6 articles
Article directories submitted: 1 - Ezinearticles
Income a month: $800

I don't really know any other article marketers out there so I am not sure if these figures are good.

Do you guys think I am under-performing? Or are these figures good?

Would really appreciate any feedback

[dave147]

the figures are excellent especially with only EZA. PM me your niche

[Swanton84]

I would think your progress is good. What niche are you into and how many sites to you have? Are all your earnings from ClickBank?

[Hamida Harland]

You're doing well to be taking action and making some money, but it depends on what you consider 'good'. If you submitted 6 articles a day you will probably have submitted 150+ articles which only works out at about $5 per article. How long does it take you to write an article? You need to work out how much you're making per hour and then decide if that's good. Personally (if I was doing article marketing alone) I'd be shooting for $25+ per article.

You could probably increase your income, with very little extra work, by simply submitting your articles to more than 1 article directory.

Some people advise submitting to just the top 5 article directories, others say you should go all out and get you article published at as many places as possible.

I personally say that you should first submit all of your articles to the top article directories. Then, take the best performing ones, spin them a little, and distribute them using an article distribution service.

You could also try building some backlinks to your best performing articles so that they rank higher in the search engines and hence attract more visitors.

Is it possible to get $25 per article? if yes, How?

To increase your profits, I suggest you employ a GOOD article spinner, and
submit them to multiple sites, not just directories, but other web 2.0 systems
too. You don't spin to avoid the so called duplicate content filter as this isn't
a problem here, you spin to get a better chance of getting more of your articles
better placed in the SEs with different titles etc. You could also rotate keywords
using a spinner too.

Oh... and congratulations on your efforts

Of course it's possible. My best niche averages at about $60 per article (the commission is over $150 though) Every bit of information you could possibly need is right here on this forum already - try using the search feature.

[Amfire]

Glenn,

Can you suggest any good spinner which is user friendly and not pain in the neck?

[yommys01]

You are doing really good. I wrote 79 articles last month which is about 2 articles per day and made $511.01.

You weren't asking me but I'll provide an answer anyway!

Either 'Power Article Rewriter' or 'Magic Article Rewriter' seem to be the preferred choice for most people.

[redrossero]

You are doing very good only by submitting articles to EZA. Guess that it depends and on the niche.

[Roy Carter]

6 articles a day is more than most people are prepared to write themselves. As someone above said, don't forget to also link to your best articles to give them link juice as well.

Are your articles pointing to your own landing page or direct to the sales page?

[asciscopecunia]

Thanks for the feedback you guys! Really appreciate it

Well currently I have close to 500 articles in various niches. I guess i need to do some tweaking to improve my conversions.

Most of my income are from physical products from commission junction. Maybe i should find products/niches with higher commission rates.

Hamida: $60 per article is AMAZING! Any tips on some lucrative niches that i should consider

Once again thanks a lot you guys for your help!

[actionplanbiz]

damn i need to start writing some articles!

[Cash37]

Take that 800.. if your not depending on it to pay bills... and totally reinvest it all for like 3 months... you will jump up to 10k-20k probably

[Doctor Article]

Well done with regards to your efforts. The only thing, in my opinion, is that if you're writing that many articles, you could be making the same amount of money or more, without have to worry about promoting and products. I currently make about the same as you are on a per article basis and my only gripe is, I'm left with no free time so I can't try to expand into other markets.

Best of luck anyway

The articles direct visitors to landing pages that pre-sell the product

Is it better to send them directly to the sales page?

[Amfire]

No right answer, it depends on niche, writing style etc. only way is to test.

Your results is good. You might want to further repurpose your content so that you will be able to get the maximum leverage out of your article and drive more traffic to your landing page.

Keep on going and I am sure you will see more results.

All the best

Hi guys

to give it a serious blast i would look into 5 a day monday to friday. If you have a few days to spare though you could always have a good bum marketing blast.

kind regards

I think it would be wise if you considered quality over quantity.

In this incredible thread, Jeremy Kelsall sited as an example a single article that he estimated was bringing in $10K-$20K/month. It was first in a competitive search and had over 400 backlinks. You can increase the earning power of an article the same way you can a website. Read that thread over a couple of times and you'll probably never think of article marketing the same way again.

How many articles have you submitted to earn those $800 per month?..and only with Ezine actually got you that far?

[W.P. Allen]

Thats' pretty good. Try and increase your output. If six articles a day brings in $800 a month then it's logical to think that 12 articles a day will bring in $1600 a month and so on. Try to write as many as you can each day. Buy some voice recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking to help you along. I use the software that comes with Vista and it works great for me. I hate typing but using the software makes it SO easy (I just sit back, prop my legs up on my desk, and talk away).

[LegitBlogger]

In my opinion you should INCREASE the number of
articles. If you can't do it alone, then it's time to
outsource, especially now that you got some
money coming in. Yes, it's a NUMBERS game too,
especially when all other aspects have been
taken care of re writing good articles with high
CTR, etc

[MisterMunch]

Take those 800 bucks and invest in some backlinkingservices to get those articles seen in the search engines. Test a service on two of the articles. If it work, blast out on how many you can afford.

I do not understand how people can calculate how much they make per article. Most of my income from clickbank this month came from articles I wrote in 2007.

Make each article count. 1 article can make you 100 bucks each day if you rank for the right keyword. If the keyword is without much competition you will rank for years.

Sometimes you get lucky and jumps up in the search engines with no effort. Others you just insist that the article is good, and the keyword will bring traffic, and you spend the time needed to get it to rank at spot 1-3.

[Marhelper]

It really is not so much about how many you write a day BUT what keywords you are using. I used to write 10 or more articles per day and got about 1/10th of the visitors I get now from just 1 article. Why? It is all about the keyord research.

[pheonix44]

I do not understand how people can calculate how much they make per article. Most of my income from clickbank this month came from articles I wrote in 2007.

Let's say I write 5 articles a day to EZA, I average 200 views per article. Let's say I get 15% CTR for these articles and out of that I get at least 40%of them to join my list.

This is the way I do it, I try to build my list and I focus on the backend later. This means I would know that from those 5 articles I got 1000 views, 150 people to my squeeze page, and at least 60 of those to join my list.

I now market to them for a few days before I send them an offer, I make at least 1 sale for about 40.00$. Now all I would do is divide 40.00$ by the five articles I wrote. This would be 8 dollars per article. Once I know my numbers I can manipulate them.

I can see which article did the best. I can build backlinks for those articles, I can reinvest some of my money to scale things more. I can write more articles around those keywords.

I can experiment with different headers and resource boxes to see if I can increase my views and double my CTR. If I am able to do this then I would be making 16.00$ an article. Does this makes any sense to you?

[Mike Hersh]

I'm really sorry to say it, but you sound to fishy to me. Your question is bizzar and I can't believe that you don't know any marketers if you're a warrior from september 2008. Another thing is that you money score is higher than I ever heard about article marketing.

I never heard about a niche that brings $800 in a few short months for a newbie who don't even know other marketers.

How exactly did you learned to submit your articles if not from marketers?

Just let me say that I've never started something like this anywhere on any other thread, so I'm not that kind of buggy things. I just feel something really strange here.

Fix me if I'm wrong...

This is unfair, there are niches that can bring you in thousands if you know what you are doing. If you can rank for one good keyword it might bring in 800.00$ alone, even if he wrote just one article.

In the Forex niche alone I have made thousands per month ... not hard to do when you get $80 or so per purchase.

How do you know how many visitors and sales this article will bring you in 2010, 2011, 2019?

For me the whole idea of article marketing is that your articles will be alive and bring in traffic forever.

Hence I find it wierd to say that you make 5 dollars per article when you have no idea how this article will perform over the rest of your life.

Most of my traffic is actually from articles written in 2007. I have no idea how much these articles have made each, but there are a few thousands each. If I knew I would make a few thousand for each article I wrote I would not be in this forum right now.

I could not possibly know how much it would bring in long term, but it is a good idea for me to have an idea of what my averages are so that way I can make adjustments.

If I know my averages I can scale things up based on those numbers. Maybe you can change your Resource box, or experiment with different headlines.

It would of course be hard to know how much money the article would make over the course of years, because you will constantly be testing and making adjustments.

Cool, I see your view. Actually I have never edited an article after publishing it (with exeption of Squidoo lenses).

I like that you share my idea of making every article count. You can make a very nice living with only 30-40 articles if you make them rank and convert. Maybe I should try to increase my CTR by editing some of my articles as well.

I could do, but I'm not allowed to promote my own products openly.
Shame really, as there's over 50% discount until lunch time tomorrow
UK time for members on my list.

You do not have to edit the content, just make a few minor changes. Like if I have two articles targeting the same keyword but one is getting twice the traffic.

The article that is getting twice the traffic needs to be looked at closely, then you can take other articles and try out what you feel is working for the other article to get more views.

If I have one that is getting very few views but a sky high CTR then I need to figure out why this is.

Once you get your numbers where they need to be you are golden. For me I have been trying forever to get to 30% CTR, but I just can't get there. I average about 15% to 20%.

[James Pateman]

Hay team, on a slightly different note, I've got two article writing services that I am about to test out. Can someone recommend some more please? I've got the keywords sorted, I'm just looking for article writers that are a good balance between quality and price (probably not alone there).

regards,
James Pateman

[Josef_Benjamin]

I'd say your doing pretty damn well so far.

You can leverage all those articles you have right now, and use that
MassArticle Software so many people recommend.

Forget doing it manually, your times' worth more than that. Get that
software and use it - I've heard so much good come from that software.

I figure you could atleast get up to 3k a month when you scale out.
