Article Marketing - What Is The Magic Number Of Articles To Be Successful?

This is a question that I get asked many times by people. How many articles do I need to write to be successful with article marketing. Now let us look at some key considerations that are important to be successful with this method of marketing.

When you are first starting out it is going to be difficult to write one article a week. For most people writing does not come easily. So it is very important that you focus on doing one article a week. Once you become good at this you can increase this number to two a week.

Over time you will become very good at writing at you will be able to write five articles a day. Then you can gradually increase this and you will be writing ten articles a day.

So back to the original question. How many articles should you have written to start seeing measurable results. You need at least two hundred and fifty articles to start seeing good results and determine if you are progressing with your article marketing. If you were thinking of only writing a few articles sorry to disappoint you.

So what is the magic number of how many articles that I need to write? You need to write as many as possible. You see the more articles you have in distribution with the article directories the higher the number of readers of your articles. This equals more subscribers and more paid customers. Knowing this information once you become good at writing you may want to write at least ten articles a day.

Hopefully this information will motivate you to write more articles so that you can increase your business.

Article Marketing - How To Create High-Performance Articles That Get Read

If you have tried writing articles and just didn't get the results you expected, add some of these high-performance tips for better results.

The first step in writing a high-performance article is writing a headline that captures the readers attention. Use words in your title that create curiosity and interest. I often use an online thesaurus for generating word ideas.

The next step is to keep your article's content consistent with title of article. One mistake article writer's often make is writing content that doesn't match the article title. If title of the article is about dog training tips and you then spend the article discussing the joys of having a dog, there is a good chance you will lose your reader before they finish the article. A key point is to stay focused on the main subject for your article.

I know it may sound silly but make sure you provide useful information. Often times I will start reading an article and quickly find the article isn't telling me anything useful and go on to the next article. It's important you provide useful information to your reader so they will continue to read the article.

Keep sentences short and clearly written. Hard to understand sentences will lose readers quickly. If in doubt, be sure to edit the sentence so it is easier to read.

Write personally. Use a personal tone when writing your article. Let your reader get to see your personality whenever possible. Just don't over do it.

Determine the goal for your article. As an article writer, you need to determine your purpose for the article. Is the goal to start building a relationship with your reader? Is is to have the reader sign-up for a newsletter? Determining the article's goal will help you craft your message in the article so you get a better end result.

In closing, I hope you find these high-performance tips useful. Article Marketing can be a powerful marketing tool if used correctly.

Advanced Article Marketing Secrets - Learn How To Turn A Reader Into A Paying Customer

Article marketing is a really good way to promote your business. Unfortunately, I see very few people who make the most of it and get it to work for them.

The main problem is that very few people will actually get it right. Those who do will earn an insane amount of money online. In this article I would like to go over the steps that you need to take to monetize your article traffic.

When you create your website I suggest that you develop a high converting squeeze page. You will include a link to this page in your resource when you submit your articles to directories. Let us examine in detail why you would want to do this. If you send your visitor a sales page it will be very unlikely that they will buy from you the very first time. The best way to do this is to first capture the name and email address.

This allows you to send an ecourse and first warm your prospect up. This will significantly improve your conversion. It allows you to first develop a relationship with your prospect before you sell to them. Now the really important part is that you will build a database of leads that you can market to over and over again. Which would you prefer a one time sale or repeat sales from loyal customers.

Unfortunately, very few article marketers do this. Many market an affiliate product directly by including their own domain name which redirects to an affiliate product. Consequently they are leaving big money on the table.

Article Income Mistake #1 - Having No Product Created with Your Articles

Some people will tell you that you cannot make money with your articles. My simple response to those people is that they are wrong.

You can make money with your articles. You can do well with your articles.

You gotta have a product

Now here is a profound statement. You have to have a product in order to sell a product.

Now I know people quiver in their shoes about the notion of creating products. It looks difficult and it takes a lot of concentrated work. You need to have a system to make it very doable.

You can do it! If you can write a 7-item grocery list, you can write a 7 tips article that brings you more prospects, publicity and profits.

And if you can write a 7 tips article, you can turn that article into many products. A 7 tips article can become an ecourse or an ebook, just to name two of the many products you can create with your articles.

Another quick way to create products with your articles is to create a collection of your articles on a particular subject and turn it into an ebook. I have many mentees and students who do this all the time. I do it all the time.

Dont fall for some of the stuff on the internet that says it takes you weeks to create a product . You can create a product in a couple days when you know how to do it correctly and quickly, and turn your articles into cash.

Article Marketing - Discover the Secrets of Successful Article Writing

In spite of what you may have heard there is no secret formula to the concept of article writing, other than it requires a lot of work, because the results of any article marketing strategy is dependent on massive article writing action.

So then, a better question would be - what is the secret to getting the work and massive action done then?

First, start with a few basic ideas to remember:

  • Start out writing about things you already know, or are passionate about
  • The more articles you write and submit, the more opportunity you will have to be published, visited, read, and generate visits to your website.
  • The more articles you write, the faster you will be able to
  • The more articles you write, the less research work time you need
  • Write shorter articles, usually around 325 or so words will meet most article directory requirements - make sure you check each directories specifics

Second, set yourself a structured routine, and plan to follow it regularly:

  • First of all, you must schedule yourself to sit down to write
  • Decide how many ideas (5-10) you are going to write about
  • List all the topics you are going to write about.
  • Next, write a title for each of the articles.
  • Then, begin to write, until you finish all 5 - 10 articles in one sitting

Third, submit each of these articles to your top 5-6 article directories daily or at least weekly.

Finally, submit selected articles to a list of 100 - 150 directories regularly, weekly, or at least monthly.

The only secret of article writing is discipline, schedule, and massive action - sometimes called work!

Online Article Submission Sites and Editor Choice Strategies Considered

It appears to that there are some professional writers who wish to have the online article submission sites that the post on upgraded and to only list extremely well-written articles. They would at very least request that they receive a preference so their articles are not lost in the masses of all the articles submitted.

Why do they request this? Because it will help their article marketing efforts and they feel they are much better writers and their articles have much more worthy information in them. Their hopes are to get their information displayed in such a way to help the reader find them over all the others.

Of course we know that people come in from the Google, MSN, Yahoo search engines directly to the article and that these search engines spider sites like this constantly. So in reality all articles whether they are marked "Excellent" or Editor's Choice in the end will be seen fairly equally as the reader clicks into the site.

A few expert authors have made comments that better articles might be available for browsing the list and reiterated the concept of "Editor's Choice" a concept which has been bantered about for almost a year now at the top online article submission site. It appears that many others online article authors like this idea?

For me personally as a reader and seeker of information, I know when I find a great article with good content, I look up the author and read all their articles on the subjects I am interested in learning about at that time and surf their various websites too, so all that makes sense to "me" personally, although others might disagree.

A software system with Artificial Intelligence that might be able to pick out great articles is intriguing because it could go thru all the 580,000 articles on let's say the top online article submission that are already posted and put a "star" or something by them to help readers more easily find them.

Article And Content Writing Made Simple

Article and Content Writing is the key to successful Internet Marketing. It takes some practice and it takes knowing a few simple rules. You want to locate the happy medium between pleasing the Search engines and pleasing your readers. This is as easy as talking to a good friend.

You want to start your writing by choosing your keyword or keyword phrase. You may choose 2 or 3 keywords or phrases for your article or web page content.

I like to use Keyword Phrases in all my Article and Content Writing. Word your keyword phase the way people would type it into the search engine when possible. Do not load your page with keywords or keyword phrases.

Only place your keyword phrases in 3 or 4 places within the text. If writing content for your website place the keywords in the URL. Also use the keyword phrase in the title of the page or article.

Place your keyword phrase within the first 90 characters of your writing. Place your keyword phrase once or twice in the main body of the article and then again at the very end of the article.

Do not make your content too short. It actually is possible to make copy too short for search engines. Make your page no less than 250 words. I prefer 400 to 600 words.

Do not try to sound overly intelligent. It is not rocket science to write website content, so do not make it sound like rocket science.

You actually want to write around a 6th grade level for most topics. Choose the grade level based on the topic. Obviously you need to write at a different level if your site is about Medical Procedures than you would if you were writing about Candle Making.

Please! Use your spell checker and re-read your article 3 or 4 times. Look for words that are spelled correctly but are not spelled correctly for what you are saying, these are easy to miss. Example The for of us went shopping The spell checker will not catch this and since you know what you meant you might over look it.

How do you know if you have written good search engine friendly content. It will make sense when you read it. If you write just to put a keyword phrase in the content the sentence will not make sense when it is read or it will be hard to read.

Search engine optimized writing is not difficult and getting search engine rankings does not need to destroy your article. Place well chosen keyword phrases into the article and you will be well on your way to successful Article and Content writing
