Relax Everyone! Nothing Has Died!
"Article marketing is dead!" "CPA re-bills are no longer effective", "Offline marketing is saturated!". These are all cries we have seen over the last few months.
Nothing has died! Things have changed, and evolved, but nothing is dead!
Article Marketing- Sure maybe we need to write a few more articles than we used to in order to generate the same traffic , but for those same old good results, who cares about a little extra work!
I hear people complain article directories are flooded with poor articles and affiliates. Great! Guess what, if you write good quality content yourself you may get some of the traffic disappointed by some of the trash out there. If you write something good enough, you may even get your articles picked up and published elsewhere, meaning more links and traffic!
CPA Re-Bills- No, some of these are not effective anymore and that is because some of them were a little "scammy" to say the least and have been adapted. Promote a decent offer with clear terms, and make your customers clear on the offer, and sales should not be affected!
Offline Marketing- Yes there are more people doing it now than before, but how many different spins on what people are currently offering are out there? If you think outside the box instead of following the pack, there are still hundreds of opportunities in Offline Marketing.
Like Adsense, these elements of marketing are changing and evolving all the time. People still make great money with Adsense, but they do things differently to the way they did when it started. Because something doesn't appear to work as it did a year or two ago does not mean it is dead. It may mean it has evolved and you haven't.
Who knew about social marketing 10 years ago?
My point is, saying article marketing is dead is like saying the cave man is dead. The cave man didn't die- he grew into modern man. In order to succeed, I believe we shouldn't look at where the game is right now, but look to where the game is heading.
Hope this makes a little sense to someone, and makes a few more newbies keep the faith!
