I can't afford 10 articles a day

I have a solution with a good software ..... check out on my warrior blog the post about article marketing ;-)

If you can't afford a Ferrari, just sell it and invest in a car you can keep up with daily expenses. Really simple.

Often it's better to drop some projects - assuming you've made all you can do for them.

If you can provide/offer other IM services, perhaps you could barter your service(s) for articles with an article writer who needs them?

If you don't have the money to pay for these 10 articles a day, you'll either need to get creative or perhaps just take on a part-time job to help pay for them.

Hi

Well I'm not sure that writing 10 articles a day is the only method! There are so many others that you can use too

If your on a budget which let's face it most of us are then you could try getting some articles written and then rewrite them. They would need to be unique to qualify for EZA however.

I know you said you can't write but give it a try you might be surprised

I would advise that you also do a bit of research on other traffic building methods as well.

Good luck

The problem is, the less you pay for articles, the more the article's originality and uniqueness I would question. While there may be a very small handful of people who will write exceptionally unique content, for a pittance, it will be very difficult to find. I do not know of any service that will do this (however, someone here may know).

If possible, is there any way to think 'outside-of-the-box' with obtaining content. For example, had I a junior high-high school class, maybe there would be a way that you could get all your students to write assignments, and publish the great pieces online, with their permission, of course. If you had a website, you could say that you would like to publish the best pieces their for other teachers/students to see.

With creative application, dependent on your situation, you 'may' be able to do something that actually gets you free content. In order to not compromise ethics, however, I'd certainly be as transparent as possible...and, show a 'benefit' to them to publishing what they wrote on your website.

Perhaps something like a "best student" assignment page, where you highlight your best student's assignments. Just an idea...

Here's a video I have on YouTube that may help you have a go with writing your own articles:


Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks for sharing. I would have followed the advice if you didn't mention 99centarticles which was a total disaster for me. They were always late. I was a high paying member before. Yet they didn't appreciate my business. They were a mess to deal with. Highly unorganized and unprofessional. They don't submit articles properly. I've been given a lot of apologies and "gifts" to appease my anger. Yet I didn't want any of these bonus gifts. I just wanted them to do the job right and never waste my time.

For people reading this, I strongly advice NOT going for 99centarticles. They are so bad, I used the guys at LexorSoft (mediocre writing) but they beat 99centarticles in reliability, speed, organization, communication, professionalism, and oh, they're Filipinos too. So much for 99centarticles bragging about their US writers.

Really? Are you sure? Your post seems to suggest you *can* write.
Some people find it comes naturally, others need more practice.
There are tips and techniques you'll pick up along the way.

How many articles do you currently write a day?
If you are not writing 1 day, make that your target. Believe me, if you write 1 a day regularly, then notonly will you get better at it, you'll find it easier, plus you will find writing 1 gives you ideas for another 2, and so on.

Get this cranked up before you start worrying about a target like '10 a day'.

One article that is the bee's knees can do the job of 10 bad ones.
You can use that article over and over and via different media.

One a day is your immediate target!

Then you read all the wrong threads. Honestly.

Please excuse me if this sounds terribly arrogant ( :rolleyes: ), but I have the distinct impression that not too many here have built their businesses more solidly by article marketing than I have, and I submit a maximum of one article per day there (or anywhere else).

Building a business with article marketing is about quality, not quantity.

Quality gradually produces quantity on its own anyway (by syndication).

Quantity alone produces a long silence, a disappearance, and (for some people) a return a year later to announce that "Article marketing doesn't work any more".

Why not just go for one of the higher priced writers. First off their is no need to submit 10 articles a day. If you are obtaining good quality content of 500 words or more then you can simply publish 1 or 2 a week and do rather well. Those who say you need to publish 10 or more articles a day are simply insane. I assure you that their articles are beyond crappy to put it lite. Also keep in mind to get the most out of your articles you should be posting them to your own site first then submitting them to the article directories.

Now if you are looking for someone to submit your article to a number of article directories. I would suggest cob solutions. I have used them a few times for submissions/writing. It is not the cheapest services and does take around 7 days for them to complete the submission process. It is far cheaper then you going to over 100 article directories just to submit an article or two.

But you should be thinking quality over quantity. You would get much better results with fewer quality articles then you would with several mediocre articles. Hope this helps best of luck to you.

Based solely on this post alone, I'd have to agree with another poster that your writing doesn't "seem" bad. Are you sure you can't do this yourself?

Hit up CDarkLock and see if he is taking any new clients.

Write / Buy 1 article per day, of very high quality.

Spend the rest of your day manually building backlinks to the articles from any source, or using an automated tool to build some links.

Ezine Article pages are beautifully responsive to link-building. Get your articles in top positions in Google, then watch the traffic flow in.

Hi Barbershop,

I can identify with you in regards to the ability to write... however I would like to recommend you to check out challenge [dot] co [slash] training [slash]

under module 2 day 2, 3 and 4 ... it is free training how to do research, write and edit your article.

I had a breakthrough after that training.

of course it take practice and you will get better at it

hope this helpful for you

if you can't afford it, better to do something that you can afford, its the best way. I don't think that u can find anyone easily who will write quality articles for that price 10 per day.

First and foremost, you dont need to produced 10 articles a day for your IM business to work. Here is what I found out.

All in all, IM business revolves around these few things - content, products and traffic.

So article marketing is your content, and the purpose of your having them is to drive traffic so that you can sell affiliate products or your own products.

having said that, there are alot of ways to drive traffic and article marketing is just one of them. Here are some free and paid way to drive traffic.

- Article Marketing - You honestly don't need 10 a day...start small, if one a day is good for you, start with one a day....

- Forum marketing - Forums are a great way to share your expertise within your niche. If people find that your tips are useful, they may check your website out. So make sure you have your signature that link back to your money site.

- Solo Ads - Normally, I pay for one solo ads a month. Depending on your budget, you can run a solo ads that target your niche.

- Video marketing - This is something i will try next week. What it means is that I will turn all my written articles into video format and distribute it into all the video directories such as Youtube.

These are just some of the options you have to drive traffic. As you can see, article marketing is just one option.

Here is one last tip, you HAVE to learn about creating content. If you cant build content, you cant run an IM business because that pretty much what IM biz is all about.

Good luck!

In the last 6 years as an avid article marketer I don't believe I have ever had a day where I submitted 10 articles. In fact, most of my own campaigns call for 1 high quality article a day.

You can leverage that single article by submitting it to multiple top tier directories which would do more for you instead of trying to pump out 10 articles a day.

If you are having trouble writing (which from your postings it looks like you can write) then focus on the basics.....clear, concise sentences dispersed among small paragraphs highlighted with sub-headings or bullet statements.

You don't have to be a Hemingway to succeed with article marketing. What you do need is dedication, a will to succeed, consistency and quality in order to profit from your work.

Alexa and CDarkLock and a few other members have fantastic communication skills and a strong grasp of writing within their own unique style.

For example, Alexa writes on a higher level using words I've never even heard of and CDarkLock writes in a twisted fun manner. Both methods work but they work exceptionally well for them.

Develop your own writing style and improve upon it daily. Forget 10 articles a day and focus on 1 perhaps 2 high quality articles a day and you will be fine.

The truth is if you write and submit 1 article a day for 30 days (30 total articles) you will be ahead of 80% of the IM world because many people hate writing and submitting articles even though it works.

Respectfully,
Tim
