Article marketing is one my main method to drive traffic to my sites, and I am glad that I have followed the advices of warriors here and stick to it.

For those of you who are using article marketing to drive traffic, I urge you to hang on there and continue to write articles like you use to do.

Writing 1 article a day is better than writing 5 articles a week...

If you need some motivation to write articles, you can take part in the EzineArticles 100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge‏. The objective is to write 100 articles under one pen name and submit to them on or before, 11:59:59PM CDT Wednesday, July 1, 2009.

I have signed up for it. For more info, check out their blog:

100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge

YOu guys rock!

Hi yuyuan,

Wow, great to find another SG'er taking part in the
100 Articles in 100 Days challenge started by
Jeff Herring!

I thought other than Stuart Tan, I was the only one.
Wowzers, you sure write a lot!

Asher

[yuyuan]

Yea, I only realised the marathon challenge early last week. Have been a little late to it

Lets work towards it and achieve the challenge together!

[CalGolden]

Congrats on your magnificent milestone! When I grow up and become an accomplished article writer, I want to be just like you!

And thanks for the heads up on the challenge. I will sign up for it later today, even though I do thie biz thing only part time. Something like the challenge should keep me highly motivated to get those articles out there.




All the best!

Thanks Cal for the heads up.

Yep, I feel this type of challenge really keep us motivated and push us to achieve our goals.

Now we are left with less than 76 days... A good goal to aim for is to write at least 10 articles a week.

I am pushing myself to aim for 2 EZA mugs by trying to register the challenge under 2 pen names.

Nice work Yuyuan!

There are a lot of skeptical people that say that article marketing doesn't work. This shows all of those people how powerful article marketing really is!

Keep up the good work!

[Azlan]

Congrats on the achievement Yuyuan. Makes me to even want to write and submit even more articles to reach the 1k mark of articles.

Congrats again on the achievement.

How much traffic has that generated for you? Do you have any analytics in place telling you how much of your traffic is coming from ezinearticles?

Hi Michael,

From the stats in Ezinearticles, the articles generated a total of 229,185 click through. I guess this can be further improved by writing more enticing author bio box.

Hi Yuyuan

Do you have a rough estimate as to how much income the articles bring you per month?

Tim

I guess that it will be inaccurate to estimate the income that these articles are bringing in per month because quite a number of articles are written for my offline clients.

For the articles written for IM, the visitors are brought to a squeeze page where I make money through backend sales.

[FeivelHH]

congratulations yuyuan.

[daryamconsult_aust]

Yep, it is actually not a lot when we break it down to a smaller (more conquerable) number.

Sometimes, a big number just turns us off and stop us from writing articles.

[Nahar]

Yuyuan, congratulation. 3 articles a day sounds really impressive. Can you (or anyone else who is as consistent and creative as Yuyuan) share a few tips to those of us who might feel like we will never get where you are now? Thanks and all the best to you!

[Junid]

Wow,

How do you do it? I just started Article writing and I just cant get thru One a day maybe 2 -3 days. You must be really good. Hope I can get some tips from you.

All the best to you.

Junid

[daryamconsult_aust]

[daryamconsult_aust]

maybe I should learn how to spell 'started' first

I hate to write articles, although I am very good at writing. Most of my time is writing niche ebooks. What I do to promote my ebooks is to buy lots and lots of related PLR articles (check out the WSO offers) and hire others to rewrite them. Using pen names for tracking purposes with EzineArticles.com and other article directories, this has got to be the easiest and least expensive methods for promoting products. It is important to get articles out there consistently everyday. It could take weeks or even months to see results, but just keep at it. There are always good WSO offers for PLR articles, but you should always edit them and change the title.

[yuyuan]

Thanks for all the kind words warriors, appreciate it.

It is not hard to write article consistently every day. What I do to make sure that I achieve the target is that every Monday, I will plan the topics and the number of articles that I am going to write for the whole week. Then, I will divide the number of articles equally by 6 days (Sunday will be my rest day). After which, I just need to put the plan into my timetable and stick to it.

One common problem that many new article marketers face is that they don't know what to write about. They have the feeling that there is not enough information for them to write. Nothing is further than the truth. On the Internet, there are tons of information... you just need to do a little research every week.

If you don't know what topic to write, you will have writer's block. So spend 1 or 2 hours on Monday to research and decide on the topics you are going to write. By doing so, writing articles will become easier and usually, you will take around 10 - 15 minutes to write a 250-400 words article.

If you are new to writing articles, 3 articles a days may seem like a tough call. But when you get used to writing, the whole process just become easier.

Just remember, always plan what you are going to write.

Another tip is to follow a simple format to write an article. An article can be broken down into a few parts:

1) Title. Your title is the most important part of your article. It should be eye-catching. There are 2 types of Title that I always write:

- Ask a question. For example: "Are You Struggling in your Marriage? Then You Can't Afford to Miss These 3 Tips to Save Your Marriage Today"

- State the number of tips that you are giving in the title. For example: "5 Sure-Fire Ways to Bring Down Your Adwords Quality Score and Cut Your Advertising Cost by At Least 30%"

2) First Paragraph. Here, you will write a paragraph that addresses the problem that your target audience is facing. And tell them that you have solutions for them in this article. The paragraph should be 4-5 sentences long.

3) Bullet Points. This is where you will list down the solutions in point forms. Usually, I will write at least 5 bullet points.

4) Conclusion. Another paragraph to conclude the article.

5) Call-to-Action Statement. Lastly, I will include a call-to-action statement to entice people to click on the URL in my Author's Resource Box. A simple example is this: "For more tips to reduce your Adwords Quality Score, visit the website below now".

By following this format, writing a 250-400 words article will be much easier.

P.S. And you don't need to be a good writer to do well in article marketing
