Freshly discovered secrets of Article Marketing or HOW to make money online.

Long boring post which you probably won't get anything from.

Subtitled: Why I became a low-cost article writer for two weeks and what I've learned from the experience.

In this forum, the one where we discuss making money (sometimes?), an hour doesn't seem to go by without someone asking about articles, article writers and article marketing. Some, a few, warriors have done very well using articles as part of their marketing strategies.

Let me address those of you that have "failed" at either writing articles or hiring someone to write articles for you. But first, here was the "test" I used, and there is nothing scientific about it, totally ancedotal, so your results will vary (standard wussie disclaimer).
A couple of weeks ago I opened a fiverr account and posted up 8 "jobs", from the very bizzare to the very mundane.

My "test" was; which will be the most clicked on title? What will people look at? I knew they would be coming from one of two places, the WF or my facebook. Since my facebook gets like 3 people a week, I can assume most of the traffic, if not all, came from here.

The WINNER, in the hits department, by more than double, was the "gig" where the headline read;

I will write powerful, sales generating 500-750 word articles embedded with subliminal commands...for $5.

That is what shows up on my "gigs" page, the complete headline reads;

I will write powerful, sales generating 500-750 word articles embedded with subliminal commands and/or a call to further action for your reader to take for $5.

Surely, I knew this would be the WF visitors' fav, right? Right!

So I wanted to find out what Warriors wanted in the way of articles. In a word:

MIRACLES.

Yep. You want an article or series of them to put you on easy street, to give you the auto pilot do nothing 3 hour work week that allows you to lay on the beach sipping cold ones...for 5 bux.

OK. Fair enough. But what I did was to ask for REASONS and PURPOSES of the articles.

Where they would be used? What did you want them to do? What web sites, or products, or programs were you promoting?

Why did you need the articles?

And I was absolutely flabberghasted at the responses because MOST of you thought this questioning was totally irrelevant and unnecessary. OK then.

And here is where YOU can make the money.

There may be untold thousands of Warriors looking for YOU to write articles for them. So if you can write, start writing. You have an unlimited DEMAND for your services. EASY money. Like picking up dollar bills blowing in the street.

Does take some time to write (or dictate) the article and do some research, but, what else you got to do? How about picking the LOW hanging fruit and build off of that?
For those of you that can't write, or English is a second language to you...good Golly Molly (us old farts used to say)...there are scores of writers here and around the world waiting to write for you for a pittance (them's pennies folks).

And most of the people who you can hire won't ever ask you any questions about why and what and where...that sort of annoying marketing type stuff...they just want some articles on ___________ . BINGO, VIOLA and EUREKA all neatly wrapped in their desire.

So there you have it. Wanna make some MONEY, quick and easy? But not very much...but a little bit every day can lead to you being able to afford that really good WSO on "writing articles" for the really big mone?

OK? Writers...WRITE! Article BUYERS...BUY! NOW...TODAY, RIGHT THIS MINUTE. There's gold in them thar words.

PS. Also, something I learned from my two week fiverr experiment, the wacky, kooky and far out niches have devoted followers, maybe much smaller in number, but, apparently, willing and able to part with their 5 bux much quicker without much selling effort. Just some food for thought as you are picking out your niches for your riches, eh?

And keep in mind, the lifetime value of a 5 buck or 7 buck or 14.95 dollar buyer could end
up into the thousands of dollars.

Thanks for your time and attention.
