Learn The Real Secret of Succeeding in Article Marketing Which Gurus Don't Want To Tell You...

My Dear Warriors,

I was searching for the answer to this question for long time.

Is it proper keyword research or optimized landing page creation or well written SEO articles or mass article submissions or is there something else?

I always kept wondering that what it takes one person to succeed in article marketing?

Why so many people fail in BUM marketing or Article Marketing and very few get the coveted success in it?

What is that ONE THING Factor which separates one successful article marketer from the rest of the wannabe marketers and pushes him ahead of his competition ?

In order to find that ONE THING I actually thought of carrying out a small Article Marketing campaign in this month. On 1st Jan 2009, I began my marketing campaign.

But unlike others I decided not to go for multiple niches and like 10 articles a day which makes your brain fry and thoughtless.

Rather I selected only one niche which is an all time high demand niche market.and I wrote only 1 article a day with highly relevant and targeted content.

Before doing keyword research I performed proper Market Research by going to places like Yahoo Answers,Niche Forums and Related Authority Sites in that Niche.

These are the actual useful places for a marketer like us where real people talk about their real life problems and you can easily spot the related important keywords there.

As Mr. Steven Wagenheim once said " If you want to become successful article marketer in your niche then don't write for Search Engines; instead write for the people or targeted audience in that niche."

This is 100% true. and I got the actual data to prove this.

Here is my Jan 01 , 2009 Article Marketing Stats :


Article Submitted : 30 (Only but highly targeted)

Article Views : 4662

CTR : 21%

And the most important,

Revenue Generated : More than $300 (And still Counting...)

This is only for one niche and only 30 articles...

Imagine if you target only 2-3 high demand niches every month and study those niches properly, then you will become a powerful niche authority in that field. People will respect your opinions and you make long term, automatic income in that niche.


This is what happening in my niche right now...

Here to add one more point that I don't deny the importance of proper keyword research. But I strongly feel that Keyword research should not be your first point of Article Marketing Campaign. Rather you should be able to learn the HOT, in demand keywords which you can get from niche forums and Yahoo answers.

I mean come on isn't it the demand of the actual people? They are actually explaining their problems and asking you for a solution to it. They are actually handing you the gold mine and you just have to dig it out properly with proper tools.

In a summary , I will only say that Gone are those days of Keyword stuffing articles with 3-5% keyword density. Now search engines look for more topic related and audience friendly articles. So you should give them what they want and this is the real secret of success in article marketing IMHO.

What's your opinion?
