POLL - What Are Your Article Marketing Frustrations?

17 replies
Hey warriors, I am gathering up some research on article marketing, and I would like to make sure I address all the frustrations of article marketing. Basically what I'm trying to find out, is what do you absolutely hate about article marketing. We all know it is one of the favorites methods of driving targeted traffic, but what do you not like doing about it.

Is it the writing of the articles, or the submitting them too multiple article directories, or just not getting enough traffic from the articles you have written and submitted.

    Just had my EZA account suspended.

    I did not re-write my plr right. Siad it was not original content.

    Moral may be for me to write my own content next time!

    Submission is a hard task. When you have a passion for writing, its not hard to write them but the submission work is time consuming and hard to do for me.

      I have a niche with 40 articles, with a total of around 8,000 views to date. 3 Sales have resulted from that traffic.

      So, I chose making money from my articles. I can get amazing CTRs on my articles themselves, and even my landing pages.....but the conversions aren't there.

        If you're getting good CTR from your articles, the problem isn't your article marketing, the problem is your offer. Do more research into the demographics of your niche, what their problems are, what they want solved, etc. Then go looking for high quality products with a good sales process that solves those problems. You may have to test a number of different products.

        Hope this helps.

    I really dislike article marketing, it is tedious and troublesome. My Ez Article account was suspended due to re-submitting of article and one fine day, the admin just told me my article have exact same content with someone.

    But it's my article, I argue with them and somehow, they stopped the email conversation and I don't really care much.

    My problem is writing. I can create 10 hours of Camtasia Tutorials but I can't write one article.

    Don't know why but I just hate it.

    Traffic is not alot of trouble for me because I spend time finding decent keywords.

      LOL, Sorry I have to laugh at threads like this...

      Just had my EZA account suspended.

      I did not re-write my plr right. Siad it was not original content.

      Moral may be for me to write my own content next time!
      Your article marketing frustration is that you were caught, breaking the terms of service of a site?

      That sucks, I had some of my EZA account suspended for no reason.
      Same thing, you're only allowed one account. So theres your reason.

      Honestly, I don't have one. I abide by the TOS of the sites, follow basic guidelines other marketers have taught in the WF and happily make the money.

      I have all kinds of frustrations. Unfortunately they go beyond the scope of article marketing and would take me a month or two to explain in one post. :p
