I Need Some Help Article Marketing !

14 replies
I purchased Kenser's Rags to Riches. Reviewed it a few times. Shot him an couple emails 2 days ago, no response yet. I I did get something out of RTR's ! just get started ! Sometimes that seems to be the hardest part ! Iam also new to forum , so bear with me !
I have decided to do article marketing with cpa offers . I have never done article marketing or cpa offers before . I do have a lot of general knowledge of both. I still have quite a few questions , so I will fire away.
1.When I write an article ,do I summit the same article with the same headline to the multiple directories ? What about duplicate content ?
2.Is there an article submitter I should use ?
3. I heard some of the good ones only let you submit by hand ?
4. Which Directories should I focus on primarly?
5. If Search is an Accreted form of traffic . I assume I can use article marketing on this campaign ?
6. Should I worry about tracking at this point ? I always get stuck getting everything right and never get around to making any money. I know action is key to success 1st and then tracking.
7. Is there anyone out there that has had any success that will work with me ? I got a lot of skills and will just need some pushes in the right directions.
8. How many urls can I have in the body of the article
9. When I write my article is word , is a resource box necessary . ? do I need to make my own or what ?
10. I can't pm or email be new , so how do I communicate ?
I figure I will find some of the mostly view articles around the directories , copy them and rewrite them . I will keep my offers targeted toward the demographics of the articles. I figure I can probably get about 10 articles a day. I figure for now I just do a redirect on my name to the offer , in case the directory does not accept affiliate urls. I guess if I get enough out there I will have to make a sale !
Sincerely,
Stephen Gatyas

    You do not need to purchase any ebook - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html - free info right there that answers most of your questions.

    For many of your questions you should be testing yourself and not rely on others opinions. Like you say which article directory, well many will say "EZA" "EZA" "EZA" fact is though just because EZA works for one does not mean it will for all. This is why you test...

    Hi Stephen

    When you post to forums. Try make sentences with space between.
    Same with articles and emails. Is very hard to read when all is cluttered.

    And here are some answers from personal experience...

    1.When I write an article ,do I summit the same article with the same headline to the multiple directories ?

    No. You should alter your headline. (Spin) Just
    re-write your article or let a software do it.

    What about duplicate content ?

    Well, while duplicate content is nothing bad really. But they
    with unique content get better rankings. So you should try
    make each article at least 30% unique. More the better.


    2. Is there an article submitter I should use ?

    There are a load of them. I use MAR. But again you really
    need to research it. And if I were you. I would manually
    submit to EzineArticles and GoArticles to get a hang of it.

    3. I heard some of the good ones only let you submit by hand ?

    Most software's gives a pop-up for captcha and can do IP fixes.
    That is all I know about that.

    4. Which Directories should I focus on primarly?
    Test and test. What makes you most traffic. Bur EZA and
    GoArticles would be your first target.

    5. If Search is an Accreted form of traffic . I assume I can use article marketing on this campaign ?

    Not clear.

    6. Should I worry about tracking at this point ? I always get stuck getting everything right and never get around to making any money. I know action is key to success 1st and then tracking.

    Well if you have your own domain. And host with any Cpanel based host. You have
    stats and tracking there. If you need any other. Just search google. There are
    hundreds of such services. And YES you should always track.

    7. Is there anyone out there that has had any success that will work with me ? I got a lot of skills and will just need some pushes in the right directions.

    Probably yes. I have no advice for that though.

    8. How many urls can I have in the body of the article

    It depends on the directory. However more then one may look
    SPAMMY. Rather spin your url's.

    9. When I write my article is word , is a resource box necessary . ? do I need to make my own or what ?

    Yes, but you can search Google for good resource boxes. But you need to make
    your own. Study this a lot. It's very important not to push sales from the resource
    box.

    10. I can't pm or email be new , so how do I communicate ?

    With who?

      Two questions for the OP:

      1. Have you followed the steps of the WSO you bought or did you read through and come with a bunch of questions rather than doing it?

      2. How many articles have you written so far?

      You can learn everything there is to "know" about article marketing but until you start writing articles, you won't "get it".

      Have you been accepted by CPA networks? How many questions did you send the WSO seller? He may not be willing to do extensive personal coaching or answer questions outside the scope of the WSO.

      I figure I will find some of the mostly view articles around the directories , copy them and rewrite them . I will keep my offers targeted toward the demographics of the articles.
      That's a copout. If you have to copy other people's work to create articles, you are starting off on the wrong foot. Do your own research and write your own articles. Suggest you learn a bit about copyright and plagiarism before you go too far.

        Yes ,
        I read the book 3 times . I came up with at least 12 questions it looks like.
        I wrote one article so far , it took me like 3 hours. I get it now I suck at writing articles.


        I started out first with idea I got from RTR's . I built a website (25musicdownloads.com) and figured I might try to sell some websites and host them as suggested. I only got one CL acct and No cell, actually iam really struggling even no money.Iam not sure now CL was good idea now. It really hard to beat them . Isn't that against TOS at CL ?Thats how i ended up here !


        I got an big list I been accecpted too.

        I been lost on here I don't even know how to get up with him . I sent 2 emails to support and he never responded . He did not appear to be like that. I don't think the problem is with the book . I believe it's me.

        As far as the Articles . I was not flat out stealing it . I was trying to rewrite it in my own words and keep foward progress. Iam desparate. Looks like I might of made you mad !


        I so lost know , I don't even really no where to try to start over ! Don't want to be be in the way of others.

  • It's not a numbers game. Pick the directories people read and write articles people will read.

    You can submit 100's of articles and make nothing or you can submit a few very persuasive quality articles and cash in.

    When I write I write so my articles will be of high quality so I can leverage the distribution of others... that's the real power.... getting other people to distribute your work on their sites.

      In fact no one will tell you this. Ummm... or one will ;-)

      I can tell the very best response I get from articles is by....

      1. Submit your article to Free Classifieds - USFreeads
      2. Publish as premium.

      Cost money yes. Business do. But if you want it easy.

      And of course you need a professional article. So my aproach
      would be to look for your niche and it's articles at EZA and
      other high traffic sites.

      When you see one work. Totally re-write (make your own)
      and then submit. As you then know it works and with UFA
      it will kick butt....

      DANG! Now I need to find a new traffic source ;-)

    ... and don't forget to direct links to your articles on the directories. I use some articles solely to add links to existing articles.

    Threads asking how to do Article Marketing come up quite often here - so I have a standard reply - I hope this helps:

    Two brilliant threads to read about article marketing are these:

    http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

    http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

    Read them both - all the way through - and take notes.

    For further information I recommend the following directory - It is education in article marketing - a guide book and monthly newsletters - with a directory thrown in! You can read what Warriors think about it here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...alks-walk.html

    Article Directory - Article Marketing Community

    I can also recommend the WSO's from this guy:

    This guy also has some good stuff - some article marketing some on other things

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    here's some advice from personal experience that will answer some of your questions.

    Always strive to write your own article for a target niche and submit it manually to article directories at least when you are starting out.

    for now, do not concern yourself with mass article writers and submitters. If you want to suceed and you say you have talent, you have to work hard. You can't afford to be complacent at the beginning, complacency sets in when you are making some good money for yourself.

    most good article directories online will not let you put url's in the body of your article. your urls come in the resource box. you should have two or three default resource boxes prepared (which you attach to your article) to direct people to your main product or website.

    Here's something you can try: make what you believe is your best attempt at writing an article (or a few articles) and submit them to Associated Content dot com. If they accept your articles and pay you for them, then you have what it takes to be an article writer. If not, then you'll know that you still have work to do. Good Luck.

      Your first article MAY take 3 hours - but you might do the second one in two hours and improve from there.

      Writing comes easy for some people - others have to develop a system that works for them in order to write well and within a reasonable time period.

      If you only try once - you'll never get anywhere. Do your research by finding 20 facts about your niche and list those facts on notepad. Then write articles expanding on three or four of those facts in each article and the work will start to make sense and go faster. It takes practice to get it right.

      If you start out rewriting someone else's work - it's not the right way to do it. But you can learn to write articles on your own. It will take some time and effort - but it can be done if you stick with it.

    Yea - Kay is right. It may be tough at first, but if you keep at it and practice, practice, practice...it gets easier as time goes by.

    You want to be able to write your own, compelling original content. One thing has persisted over the years as all the other fads and gimmicks pass - and that is original, compelling content.
