Does Article Marketing work for non-informmercial products?

15 replies
Hello Guys!

I wonder:

If I have a ecommerce store where I sell Ring Tones to buckethead teenagers;

If I have a website where I sell Plus Size Lingerie;

How Can i use article Marketing to drive traffic?

I think that article marketing works great for info-products, but What about those products wherre my Target audience doesn't like to read or don't even use the internet to learn about something?

Looking forward to your response.

cheers!

    I know people who write articles to sell industrial refrigerators, so that should answer your question.
    If its something you can write about, u can sell through articles

      Hey,

      yep article marketing does work on pretty much everything. I had a couple of article writing jobs last year, one was based around Rare African Horsebreeds and another was about Right-Hand Drive Jeeps!!!

      I was actually amazed at how much traffic they produced from submitting to EZA!

      The thing is, no matter what niche you are targeting, everyone, no matter what age, sex, ethnic background or Bra Size!!!!! uses the internet to search for stuff. So if you have articles that rank well in SERPs, then people will find you.

      As for teenagers they may not want to read your article, so i guess it's a case of keeping your articles short and sweet and have something compelling in your author's bio that will make them want to visit your site. Two things that teenager's love is video and comedy. Perhaps work on some comical YouTube vids to drive traffic!

      Cheers

    Agreed Partha,
    The question isnt if Article Marketing works for any niche, but rather WHAT kind of Article works for a particular niche.

    It sure does..

    I've used it to sell good electronic myself, and I actually find it in some cases that articles for physical products do convert better because most articles are reviews... people love these

    We sell personalized Jigsaw Puzzles and over the last month, I have posted around 30 articles on ezinearticles to find out if article marketing was a good traffic driver and converter for me. So far after a 4-6 weeks, I have been very happy with the results. I have had over 700 click throughs to my site which I would otherwise not have had. This traffic is also monthly and so far has grown each week as the articles get ranked.

    I have used a few WSO tips and tricks I picked up which have helped traffic numbers but I am very happy with the progress I have made. I plan to keep adding articles on a regular basis on niche market areas to keep the traffic growth happening.

    I would recommend you give it a try and test it out for yourself. Get a few articles written on your niche and get them posted on ezinearticles - wait a while and see how they have performed. Check out the WSO's for article marketing also to boost your results.

    Well one of the major reasons for article marketing is to get backlinks. Even if you don't make a single sale through any article visitors, your site gains the backlink.

    Also think about this, if there are people searching for it online, then why wouldn't article marketing work? Why would you create a site if no one is searching for something in that category? The least you could do is provide product reviews and information in articles. Simple as that. Get creative.

    Article marketing or presell marketing will work for any product people are allways searching for answers and advice like in your case i just did a search on google keyword tool and found the term "how to fit a bra" on exact match it has about 2400 searches a month and only 371 competing pages in google that have the term in the title that kind of term would be good for an article for your bra site for example hope that gives you some ideas..

    I found this article a few months ago on the Submit Your Article website that you may find helpful. I don't have enough posts to put a link to it, but search for the following title in Google and you should find it:

    Even if the article is never read, the backlinks alone will help you sell those products.

    Yeah I agree with the above. Article marketing is great for all products and services. Huge untapped potential for service professionals such as dentists, lawyers... IMO.

    Article Marketing can be used for anything ... Does not matter if it is a online product, offline, physical goods, instant download product, service, game website, free sites, and etc...

    Create you article and make it informative, it can be used for just about anything...

    If you can sell it, you can market it with article marketing. For articles directed at teens, use outlandish titles and angles that are a bit unusual, keep the article short, maybe offer some tips that will make it easier to keep up with what their friends are doing.
