True Article Marketing?

My question immediately above was directed at Alexa Smith. I'm still hoping she is able and willing to answer my query, but perhaps I erred in pointing straight at her. If anyone else has any guidance or suggestions, I'm all ears!

Ooh, I'd nearly forgotten this thread: strange how selective memory can be, isn't it?

No, I usually put more than one article on each page, actually.

I write three articles per month, per niche.

Yes, I'll start with 4 or 5 pages, and syndicate articles, and attract traffic. And that's including the "legal requirements" links and stuff - the 4/5 pages are not even all "niche-related content", in other words.

I'm adding a new article three times per month (once every ten days, say) and sending emails to my subscribers every five days, with a promotion in (about) one email in three. (Paul's policies and procedures with this are enormously different from mine, by the way - just saying!).

Noooo ... not "when I release it", at all.

It'll get round to them eventually, by having its (only slightly re-written) material added on to my email series.

I almost never use "broadcasts", for all the reasons explained here: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7301227

Oooh, I agree with that comment.

Less than an entire article.

And all the other stuff that goes in my autoresponder series emails: picking up the conversation from where it left off last time; reminding them why they're receiving it; giving observations/commentary about affiliate marketing (the more openly and repeatedly I discuss this, the more I sell - not only for the obvious reasons like explaining to people that if they buy something through my affiliate link they'll never pay more for it because my commission always comes from the vendor's profits rather than from the customer's pockets - which they won't know and will worry about, if you don't tell them); reminding them how easily they can unsubscribe if they ever want to; explaining why I might sometimes inadvertently recommend to them something they've already bought; commenting on feedback I've had from subscribers about a recent/previous recommendation; leaving them on a cliffhanger about "what's coming up next" (because "continuity is everything"), etc. etc. And there'll be half or two thirds of an article in there, somewhere, as well.

Yes, your point is entirely valid and correct in that I'm sending email nearly twice as often as I'm producing articles, but I use less than one article per email, on average, and a third (sometimes even a little more than a third) of the emails are promoting something, too, and they don't have so much "article content" in them. Also, a lot of my articles are 1,200-1,500 words, so they go quite a long way. Some paragraphs can jump into an email and get half-way round the world on their own, while I'm still putting my writing shoes on.

^^ Exactly so.

For reasons already referenced by Alexa (read her links in post#2), this is a combination that does not mix well at all. :rolleyes:
