I have been writing my butt OFF! Can I get some advice? Details Inside

Charles Washington · 01-14-2009, 07:48 PM

Today is my one month anniversary in Affiliate Marketing. My main strategy is article marketing. I have made 3 sales and one refund. The refund came just a couple of minutes ago.

Can you look at my stats below and let me know if I am on track? My articles are pretty good and SEO'd correctly. I have done the keyword research, placed the keyword phrase in my title, first paragraph, last paragraph, and in anchors in the resource box - so I think that is OK.

Stats:
Niche 1
11 articles
615 views
246 clicks
1 sale
1 refund

Niche 2
9 articles
701 views
154 clicks
1 sale

Niche 3 <~~ Just started Today
5 articles
32 views
6 clicks
1 sale

Do these stats look OK? How long until I start making real money? That refund killed me.

Congrats on your sales!

25 articles is a good starting point but to really make money, you need volume. Think hundreds of and thousands of articles (hint: outsourcing is your friend).

When visitors come to your site, you'll want to capture leads. Collect their emails so you can sell to them again and again and again. That's how you build a business. Good luck!

What Liz told you is good advice. Three sales is wonderful for your first month, so be proud! If you are marketing in 3 niches, write at least one article per day for each niche, more if you have time. If you can pay to have articles written, it will be worth it to free up your time so you can work on other marketing strategies.

It looks as if your click thru rate is pretty good on your articles, but always strive to improve your writing - constantly. The more enticing your writing is, the more click thru's you will have, and possibly more sales.

Keep up the good work

Be proud of yourself! some even took 3-5 months to have sales. Always focus on quality articles.

Great advice Dennis. You're absolutely right. Keep it up! Soon your small hill of articles will equal a mountain and the same with the income it generates.

Good progress.

What is the time period you got these stats from (a week?, 3 weeks? a month? 2 months? etc)

These stats are from three weeks of live articles.

Articles are a terrific start for your online business. Although there are hundreds of websites that will accept your article, I recommend submitting them to websites that allow visitors to copy your article information, providing they give you author credit.

How great is that - now your article can be copied and pasted into hundreds of other websites with your details and links attached.

Then watch the snowball effect. You submit 100 articles to say 10 sites, who then submit them to other websites...within days you could have 10,000 articles out on the internet!

Now your name and website address, linking to your squeeze page, will be all over the Internet without any extra work on your part.
