Does anyone here *not* do article marketing?

I tried it before and I couldn't stand doing it. It took forever to submit the articles and I never really got that much traffic from it. Is it really all that necessary?

    I've never done it... seems boring and tedious to me.

    I have never done article marketing either. I just never saw the appeal of it considering the entire point of me wanting an online business is so I don't spend every waking moment working my butt off.

    Considering everyone I have heard talk about it says that you have to continue writing articles because when you stop then the income falls it just doesn't seem like that great of a model for me personally.

      If you do your article marketing right, you don't have to constantly churn out articles....True, you have to maintain them so they rank highly, but you can outsource all of it so you can focus on other things.

      Actually in the past I've always had good luck doing pretty much nothing and letting Google do all the work (100% pure luck actually). I'm ready to get more aggressive about it so that is why I was thinking about trying articles again.

    No, I don't do it! NEVER.

    But, I do outsource it.

    P.S. You wouldn't believe how a little strategic article marketing outsourcing can benefit your local offline clients. I LOVE that someone from across the state can hire me, and I can outsource that work to another continent to drive business in their local town.

    God, I love the smell of the Internet in the morning!

    I used to do a lot of article marketing until a check showed that far too many articles I had written were being posted without my signature.

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!
