How can you make $10,000 a month with article marketing?

i am also wondering the same thing??

You can...As long as you scale everything up.

Is that with your own sites or direct linking to an affiliate site?

How many hits can you get with a well written article? I realize it probably varies with the niche. But again I am clueless on this.

I would say you can, the trick is to build a list and then market to that list. Article marketing is just one of the means to get you there. Your true goal should be to scale things up with whatever money you earn in the meantime in order to make more money and accomplish things faster. It may also be a good idea for some down the line to have their own products created where you get a bigger payout per sale like 50.00 or more rather then the typical 25-30 dollars.

5000 list

3% response which should be higher if you are good with autoresponder sequences

150 sales at 50.00

7500.00$ all you would need is to market a little better to get to the 10k or use some of this money to pay for some advertising. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO PAY FOR ADVERTISING. I know some are scared to lose money, but this is a really good way to scale it up, especially if you can learn what you are doing. Look at your articles that do well and build off of those, once you scale up what is bringing you the bulk of your money and find ways to get value out of the ones that don't things become much more realistic. If one article is bringing in sales and the other is not then take the article that is performing and scale it up. Tweek the underperforming article for the other keyword and get it out there so it can make money for you as well.

great post jerm....do you promote cpa

PErhaps, lots of information are there....I no need to talk much...Keyword, outsource your articles for people, back link...etc

Great info Jeremy thanks a lot.

It is important to find a write article submission site, "content is the king" and distribute your articles to social bookmarking sites.

Jeremy,

That was an awesome break down of how to do article marketing to make money fast. The insight into the niches was really useful as well. It seems like such a simple concept, but I have never actually thought to myself that I should target items that people wouldn't feel comfortable buying offline in a shop, face-to-face.
Thanks for the post here.

To the OP, follow the advice given in this thread and you will be doing good. See what you can learn from a one Mr. Steven Wagenheim through his products, and be prepared to work real hard, and get smart with your outsourcing over the next few months.

Great stuff Jeremy - nothing new but always worth saying. Mate, I have two questions...

1. Are you actively making money in this vicinity? 10K a month
2. How many sites (logically) would it take, to acheive this? At per say, selling a $30 product per site? 50? 100?

I'm sure you could, but don't expect it to happen overnight. Article marketing is powerful but slow to build up.

Dang Jeremy once again you have made another post of real value! You are right about getting your head around it. For me it took a while to realize the process, now its made more clear to me because of your posts.

You rock!

Yups that can be done, proper time management and proper dedication is the must to reach it + above advices :p

However, I am getting some $$$ from it per month,

Great Topic...Great Posts...Great Information! Thank you Warriors for all the training tips. I think I am going to have to start a binder and fill it with posts like these!

hi alohaoahu1978,

you can make... too is my dream !!!


best regards,

ernadi

Jeremy dropped a lot of jewels in this thread... you have everything you need to make 10k a month from his 3 replies.

The answer is you can but you need to combine article marketing with list building and affiliate (and or your own) product promotion

Main issue?

Many people lack the discipline to follow through and get results.

The biggest problem facing noobs is taking action to actually start DOING IT. It's pretty easy to say what to do but it's another to keep doing it.. consistently... even when there's days (and they'll be many) when you see no sales, little pageviews, little to no traffic and just no results.

The ones who make it through understand it takes a lot more than doing the simple 1-5 steps it takes to be successful (just because someone else said that's what you need to do).

Great posts Jeremy. That is the HOW-To aspect taken care of.... now doing the action everyday, consistently until you reach that goal? How many people can stick it out?

It took me a long time to figure out that making 1 sale from one article meant that I needed to be putting out that article everyday if I wanted to continue to make sales. But people get delussioned into thinking, because they got 1 sale per article, that means if they write 10 articles, that's 10 sales. It doesn't work like that!

As you'll find, when you scale up, the number end up ALWAYS looking worse than when you started lol. Write 10 articles, put it out there, track your results. There could be a number of reasons why you're not making money,

- Bad offer
- Wrong keywords (wrong audience or no audience)
- Terrible Resource box with terrible CTR -> little traffic to offer

Test these in batches of 10 until your numbers start to increase.

Also SPY and COPY FROM YOUR COMPEITION.

Not only in your own niche but other niches too!

wow wow wee Jeremy!

Super Hot Post!

It is definitely possible!

If you divide the amount into $/day, you just need to make $333/day. Let say you are selling an ebook at $10, you just need 31 sales/day.

If you have the database, you can easily make it.

I think far too many people make the whole process more complicated than it has to be.

Is it really possible to make $10,000 a month working from home and running your own business online? Does it sound like a dream? Is it even possible, let alone be a dream? And how many people actually make that much anyway?

The answer is YES. You CAN make $10,000 a month working from home and running your own work at home business. And YES there are plenty of people who make that much, or even more, on the internet. But it didn't happen overnight!

It starts out just like any other business. With a lot of "elbow grease" and hard work. There's simply no short cut to it. If you think that you can wake up tomorrow and make $10,000 while you slept, then you're right. You can! But only if you won the lottery or some rich relative died and left you his or her money. That's the ONLY way you'll make a lot of money in no time. Other than that, it's all about how hard you work at your work at home business.

It's just like any other business. You can't assume that just because you do it online, some miracle will happen and the business will take off by itself. You must realize that in order for any business to succeed, be in online or offline, you've got to put in the effort.

But what are the basic guidelines you should follow if you want to make $10,000 a month? Here's how.

a) Target a niche that's lucrative.

You can't succeed if your target market is saturated, unless you're a genius. For the rest of us, we need to focus of building our work at home business around a niche that's not too big but yet not too small either. You must make sure that your niche is big enough for you to be able to sell to it and yet small enough that not too many people are targeting it. This is one place where SIZE does matter. And knowing exactly how big your niche is, is so very important.

b) Focus on one thing

Once you find your niche you need to focus on it. It's easy to get side tracked or branch off into many different streams of markets. Don't lose focus! Keep doing what you are doing and focus on ONE specific thing at a time. Make it work 100%. And even then, there's always room for improvement. Many work at home business owners fall into this "diversify or die" mode and they spread themselves too thin. Don't fall for that. Focus on one thing and do it well. There'll be a time to expand, but not until you are making a considerable monthly income. If you are making a few bucks each month, you KNOW you need to focus!

c) Test and Refine

You cannot be complacent about how you do your business. What's good today can be bad tomorrow. And you'll never know unless you test and refine your business process. Don't take someone else's advice on what's good for your business. Test it yourself! Use different website copies, headlines, calls to action, prices, bonuses etc. There are a LOT of areas you can test - so make sure you do it. And when your results are in, refine your business process. If your results are conclusive, make the change. Don't wait until it's too late. Refine your process and then keep testing it. It's a cycle. Not a movement. So repeat it often.

d) Keep doing what works.

Sometimes you'll find that there are certain aspects of your business that you've tested and found that it works well. There's no need to change it. Well then don't. Many people think that change is universal and that EVERY aspect of their business should be changed. Don't be like that. Change only those that your tests told you to change. Leave other aspects that work, well alone. If they work - don't change them.

e) Try to automate as much as possible

After a while you'll find that some of your day-to-day business chores take up most of your time and that leaves little for the rest. You always feel that you don't have enough time. Identify the aspects of your work at home business that take up most of your time and see if you can automate it to some extent. You might also be able to find tools or services that can do those tasks for you in less time or effort. If you can automate such processes and free up more of your time, you can use that time on other areas of your business that can be of more use to you.

f) Replicate your success

If you've tested, refined, tested some more, and automated as much as you can then you will begin to realize that your business is now almost running in "auto pilot" mode. And this means that you can now run the business spending less time. And the profits have not taken a hit and have actually increased. Once you begin to see that you are making a considerable amount a month, it's time to replicate your business. And that means creating a whole new business that works the same as the one you've got. Once you get more than one work at home businesses running, you will have multiple streams of income. And now you are that much closer to your $10,000 a month goal.

g) Keep Working Hard!

And finally, you simply can't find a substitute for hard work. Working hard means working smart. So as you start your multi income streams you must not let yourself slacken and lose focus. Keep a firm grip on your businesses and make sure you put in the same hard work that brought your to your $10.000 a month dream. Treat it like a business and it will treat you well - I promise you.

So earning $10,000 a month from your work at home business is indeed possible. But there are no short cuts and no silver bullets. Hard work and working SMART will get you close to that "dream" faster. And once you are there you'll find that all that hard work was well worth it!

Really helpful tips especially for newbies.

Nice post, do you earn 10k a month?

Haha, I came into this thread because I saw the five star rating. Then I see a 2 line post and I'm like what the hell? Where's the value in that?

Then I scrolled down and read your post...dude, I'm not glad that you're on medicine, but if you make posts like that because of your medicine, by all means take more of it!

Thanks for the post, that's some serious straight talk needed for a lot of people new to this game.

some great info in this thread.... but does anybody here actually make 5 figs monthly with article marketing? or has pulled over 5 figs in a month EVER with article marketing?

yes?
no?
silence?

I have a question for Jeremy (or anyone else)...

We want the article itself to rank, correct? And when I say that, I mean I submit my aticle to Ezinearticles and it gets approved, etc.. I want THAT article to rank, right?

So, then, I'm not understanding how a Web 2.0 site factors in. If my article was a blog post, I would be trying to get my blog ranked, right? But its not, its an Ezinearticle...so how does adding more content to my blog affect the ranking of that article since it isnt hosted on the blog?

Or am I missing part of the strategy?

Thanks for a fantastic answer to a great question!

Jeremy, how many anchor text variations do yo use for your desired,specific keyphrase? I only use two . e.g. used car and used cars , is this the right way to do it?

Thanks man .

I had an article that did pretty well, but I was not getting the conversions I wanted. I did a little backlinking and made a few sales. I did not scale it up though the way I should have.

Jeremy

Sorry about that, removed the post and will send you a PM.

Jermy pretty much laid it out well, but I'll add Keyword research is key along with promoting CPA offers. Once you get the process worked out just scale it up. At some point you will likely have to start paying others to write articles, but that is not a big deal as you should be making plenty of cash from the offers.

One hint, tell a story and conversions are better. Write an advertisement and they normally suck.

This is what I have been doing, I found that it is safer to mass link to these sites because they have a lesser chance of being sandboxed. I typically do not do that type of linking to my main site, especially if it is new.

Hey Jeremy, how did you find that article with over 2,000,000 views in the first place?
Keep up the good stuff

You are only going to make money through article writing if you'll find first of all a huge number of potential customers interested in the products you are promoting. If you won't find people that will buy what you are trying to sell, you won't make money online, even if you'll use PPC, and the most powerful advertising methods.

This means that first of all you indispensably need to find your specific customers, and only then, find the best products to promote: you have to give them exactly what they want to buy.

If you have this mindset, everything else is easier. Article marketing is a great free method that you must use to drive traffic to your sites, and to convince your readers that your products are really good. And there are many other free methods that can help you the same way. You only have to find the right people to promote to, and the right products.

Jeremy my man,

After taking two of your bootcamps, did you know how much
I regretted paying THOUSANDS of dollars on so called "gurus"'
coachings and memberships in the past?

I'm sure you make "some" money doing these bootcamps but
I know you guys make sooooooo much MORE money doing
what you're doing.

So THANK YOU for all your effort to help other people succeed
online!

magical stuff!

Damn that was a quality post Jeremy and I'm sure a lot of warriors will be jumping on any courses or WSO that you have coming up!

Just one question, do you evaluate the competition or do you just go for it regardless of the competition and what if any is the criteria?

ya this much earning we can do but for beginners this amount is not possible , when we talk about some experienced guy in this field ..say about 5 to 7 years .. then this might be possible..

Can someone tell me how to check who many links an ezine article has? I have tried copy/pasting the url of the article into link checking tools and it isn't giving me an answer. Thanks all

Jeremy,

What a fantastic post and I can confirm that there are actuallypeople making this sort of money because I know one of them.

Keep up the meds mate...most worthwhile post ive seen all month.

IF you're doing top level redirects...

...how does one track CTR for individual articles on EZA?

I have stats for all my articles collectively, but that doesn't help much.

The only thing I can figure is:

* Install a redirect script, like the kind that works inside Wordpress (for example),

* Assign a redirect for EACH ARTICLE; i.e. mydomain.com/1 for article 1, and so on.

* EZA will tell you the # of views, while the redirect script stats will tell you the clickthroughs.

Can someone fill in the blanks? Is there a better way to track clickthroughs on individual EZA articles?

Oh baby.. I'm all over this. Thanks everyone.

Now, I just have to figure out a sure-fire way to find niches. Any suggestions?

Great post. The good thing about article marketing is that it is free to use. There are many awesome article sites out there that get a ton of exposure. I use blogs to for exposure. They are free too

wow jeremy has killed it with advice on this thread. kudos.

I agree that its not an overnight success. We use it to build out tons of long tail keyword rich articles. Then its a matter of picking a good site that ranks well to post them. Best is always a guest post on an authority site. But ezinearticles, buzzle & associatedcontent are good places to start because they have editorial review that try's to screens for more quality unique content vs generic article spinning.

Jeremy hit it right on the head. Don't make article marketing more difficult than what it is. The main thing to focus on is keyword density but be careful because your content has to be readable (don't just write for the search robots). When writing content always take the "unfinished" method. Give them just enough to keep reading but if they want more information they will have to click on the link in your resource box.

Not to toot my own horn, but I am doing just that... so it is possible.

Proper research, quality articles and smart promotion makes it all possible.

It sure as hell isn't easy

Nothing is easy. That's why it feels good when you achieve something

Jeremy, words cannot describe how much I appreciate your posts in this thread. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

Thanks Jeremy.Just stopped through and someone commented on your post to bring it to the front. Seen tht it had a lot of traffic so I took a peek. Copied and pasted it into a text folder on my desktop. Great job! Spoke with authority from experience.Jus thow i like them.... NO BULL**** from a want to be..REAL advise from one that has used it! Thanks again.

i am also wondering the same thing

Yes, it is possible to make $10,000/m article marketing.
Here is how one person did it (I'm quoting him)...

How did I do it?

First of all, I have been plugging away at it for over 3 years.
Second, I have been very aggressive about achieving it.

I remember when I first started writing articles, I would look
to see how many articles I needed to get on the first page
of the author results.

And so that was my first goal (I needed about 800 or so to do that,
if my memory serves me correctly).

Then my next goal was to get "above the fold" on that page
(I needed about 1300 or so to get there).

Then literally one by one, I would write enough articles to
surpass the next person on the list.

Of course, in the meantime, I have generated about $400k in revenue
from my articles, become number one in many article categories.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I guess it's possible (but not easy). Good Luck to ALL.

Wow...800-1300 articles to get to the first page? Were there any keywords in the articles? I just think that is a really large amount of articles...many people here do it in even less than 20 articles depending on the keyword your after. I think people reading that number may be turned right off article marketing.

Great post Jeremy,

Ive only just realised the power of AM lately. Ok here is my experience lately. About a year ago when I first starte IM I bought One Week Marketing and basically wrote six articles stuck 3 on Ezine using a redirect and 3 on squidoo and threw a few backlinks at them nothing major though as I was clueless then.

Clickbank commissions so far over $500. With $150 in the last week and I know I will get more sales. Now I know a lot of folk will say whats the big deal in taking a whole year to make $500 but that fact of the matter is it took me a few days to write the articles and throw a few basic backlinks at them, there was no effort put in to them and I have never even looked at them since. I know quite a bit more about IM now so can you imagine if I scaled this up and actually put some effort in to it which is what I will be doing very soon.

Dave

From what I understand, the trick is to write an article for many sites promoting your site / sites at the end of each arrticle, so for example if you write 10 articles for 10 sites each week and you promote say the same affiliate site eac time you are bound to get the hits....

Just a thought.

Fraser
:-)

yes its probable..but you need to be an experienced article marketer !

VOLUME <----

Like 30+ articles/day, various writers...good articles and well selling products. Optimized articles, keyword research. I can see this might work. Not making $10.000 yet..but then my article volume is also relatively low.

You make much more than 10K per month using articles to market with.

You want a few different accounts.

You will do all your article writing at first to get started, but as soon as you have some money coming in you start outsourcing articles too and continue writing.

NOTE: You need the right business model to really make the BIG bucks with article marketing.

Articles are my number one source for marketing!

Yes, it really works.

Tom

umm
goog question
now is it possible to actually make $1,000,000 a month IM
and if you are tells us how:confused:

Webmind,

I'd suggest looking at other landing pages for the product that you want a landing page for, and creating your own. It may be a struggle the first time, but the knowledge you learn will be invaluable.

And once you've got a landing page you are happy with, you can easily make minor changes to have it go into other niches.

I've created one page sites that are lander pages, and when that niche works out for me, expand things. Its a nice way to play the field without investing TOO much time.

Matt

There are ways to really make article marketing pay. I have learned most of the best ways are kept under wraps. Cant say I blame anyone either.

Obviously it works, just not for everyone and that is good for those who MAKE it work.
