Salvaging a failed article marketing campaign..some ideas
I am a 2 week old article marketing newbie and so far I haven't made any sales, that leads me to the point of this thread.
This morning while I was having breakfast, I was just scribbling some plans for article marketing and I suddenly came up with a few interesting ideas which I thought should be shared with fellow members here.
Since I'm not as sharp as most article marketers out there when it comes to identifying low-competing keywords, the possibility of running a not-so-successful article marketing campaign is always there. Instead of letting the articles and efforts go to waste, this is actually what I think I should do to "save a sale":
1) Compile articles into blog and flip
I've actually emailed Ezinearticle and checked with them. Basically, if the article is 100% original and either written or owned by you, it's perfectly ok to post them on a blog and then submit them to Ezinearticle. This is not in violation to their rule of submitting duplicating content.
Therefore, I was thinking, upon realizing that buying traffic is not coming in. I can actually compile those articles on a blog and list them up for auction. I'm also considering offering potential buyers a value add service by writing more articles upon purchase as a sweetener.
2) Compile articles into a PLR package
My rationale is this - it is more likely for a newbie marketer to be less successful in popular niches against the big time marketers out there dominating. But that does not mean that there can't be a way around it.
Upon realizing my article marketing not being as successful as I like to, I can cash out fast and get paid a little for my effort but compiling the articles I've written in that popular niche and sell as a PLR package.
Since there are so many marketers promoting products in the popular niches, PLR packages that are of decent quality and 100% originality will always be sought after. So I should be able to sell a few packages to make sure I don't come back empty handed.
3) Use the articles as "rewriting sources" as a ghostwriter
This is slightly indirect, but another way I can do this is build myself a collection of articles that I can use to rewrite when I offer my service as a ghostwriter to the other marketers in the same niches as me.
I've actually just tried this and timed myself and I can average a new article every 17 mins, so that is quite healthy. And because I wrote the articles myself, I'm not copying or compromising on quality.
These are just thoughts and I hope experienced marketers here can point out if there's anything ethically wrong (I really can't think of any) , so I can stop before I offend anyone or be recognized as a spammer. I'd be glad to be on the receiving end of some constructive criticisms as well.
However, if you think these are some useful ideas which you can develop further, then please let me know as well! I'd love to know that I've started this Christmas by providing something valuable
Happy holidays all!
