Very new to article marketing

Well i must say u r at the right place..to be frank i am also new to IM and learning things.but i am sure u will find everyhtign out here.. this is like a one stop place..

Hold on guys...

When you market anything online or offline it makes more sense to find the crowd (niche market) first, before locating the product.

Doing some very basic keyword research can make all the difference and since you're new I would hate to see you getting started in the wrong direction and get frustrated.

So, the first thing you should do is find some good information on keyword research. There is a ton of that kind of information right here in the forum so just search for keyword research and start learning how to find a viable market.

once you've done that... then you can select a product to promote that is best suited for that particular market. It may be that ClickBank has some good choices or it may be something from the CPA (Cost Per Action) field.

Hey

Yep, do proper keyword research. Look for the ones that have low competition but considerable search traffic i.e. "long tail keywords". Never ever target the competitive keywords! I did so and submitted 20 articles only to find 30+ clicks. Aim for the long tail keywords always.

Ezine, Goarticles are the main ones you must submit to. You can also try article city, article dashboard, and others. When you link your article back to your page, remember to use the keyword as the anchor text. Hope this helps

Yes, I'm going to agree with what everyone else said above. However, I would even go a step further and suggest you check out this free report from a fellow Warrior Josh Spaulding. Now, this report talks about building a site and using Adsense to monetize, but you can use it for Clickbank offers too. It's called the $5 mini-site formula. You can get it for free here:

Internet Marketing with Josh Spaulding

He tells you how to do proper keyword research and how to promote your articles.
He asks for a name and email address, but you don't have to worry, he doesn't promote everything under the sun, in fact one of his latest posts talks about exactly what he promotes and why. A good read.

I hope this helps.

I was very new to article marketing about four months ago, but found a very helpful website that has taught me a lot. To learn article marketing pretty quickly I highly suggest One Week Marketing by PotPieGirl. I created a website outlining how I got started with IM and article marketing, link in my sig if you are interested. I currently use Squidoo, Ezine and Goarticles to submit to.

The concept of backlinking is simple: you are placing links on other sites which point to your site. Google will see these links that are pointing to your site and will therefore consider your site more important. The more important that Google thinks your site is, the higher it'll rank for your chosen keywords.

Article marketing is a great way of link building because you are killing many birds with one stone. First of all, some article directories are great places to link to your site from because they are viewed as authority sites by Google. EzineArticles, the largest article directory, is your best bet for an article directory to submit to.

Secondly, the traffic that you'll get with well written articles will be pretty good if you submit them to EzineArticles. They get the lion's share of the traffic. I won't comment on the quality of the traffic and links from other directories such as GoArticles, Search Warp, Buzzle, etc, but if you want extra links pointing back to your site, it wouldn't hurt to submit to them too.

Good luck

Here is a link to a really good free bum marketing ebook that shows you the lazy way of article writing that you can use:

Hi,

Here are some very easy steps to take:

Now, keep in mind that if you are going to submit to ezinearticles then you cannot link directly to the affiliate link, you must use a website or blog. You could use blogger.com as it is quick and very easy to create a blog at.

1. Choose your Clickbank product that you want to promote

2. Find keywords for it by going to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

You could try typing in your main keyword and then look for other keywords that have alot of searches. Write down 50 keywords.

3. Now, go back to google.com and do a search on each keyword but put them in quotes " ". So if your keyword is warrior forum then put it as "warrior forum".

4. Next to each keyword you wrote down put the number of results that you get after searching in quotes. Example, "warrior forum" at the time I wrote this had 156,000 when searched in quotes.

5. You want to find keywords that have 10,000 or less results so you can get on the first page of google.

6. Find 20-30 keywords that have less than or around 10,000 results when searched for in quotes.

7. Write an article for each of these keywords. So, 20-30 articles. Make sure to include the keyword in the TITLE of the article and then maybe 2 or 3 times throughout the article if the article is 300 words.

8. Submit most of the articles to ezinearticles.com. Try some at goarticles.com and ideamarketers.com as well. Don't double submit though.

Make sure to include a link back to your website or blog where you will have your review of the product.

Optional:
To increase results, offer a free gift on your site or blog where users can sign up for your mailing list in exchange for the free gift. You would need an autoresponder for this part.

9. Repeat this process until you have hundreds of articles for the product.

Hope that helps

Thanks,
Bryan

Jacksonville,

Your end goal is to get your articles ranked on Google for your long tail keyword phrase so that you get a steady stream of long-term traffic. Use backlinks to help your articles rise in Google's results.

If you don't get your articles ranked high enough, then it will be hard to get steady traffic for your articles. Remember, think long-term and set your sights on Google for your articles.
