It amazes me how much online conversation, and controversy there is about article marketing.
Sometimes it seems to me that people would rather discuss whether it works for days, weeks or even months... rather than simply create some content and see if it converts!
I want to share something with you that's 100% true and that COULD change your life. But not because I say it's so. But rather, because you prove it to yourself by trying, applying and diving in and doing it instead.
Article marketing remains, in 2012... one of the BEST ways to attract quality, low cost traffic to your blog, brand, business, site, service, or offer... PERIOD.
It requires no dogma, no long learning curve and can be tried and tested in a short afternoon with NO prior experience.
The only requirement is that you apply a simple ferocious focus to doing one SIMPLE thing and one simple thing only:
Create content.
Be it for 30 minutes a day or 3 hours, if you do nothing other than write content for a consistent amount of time, each and every day... you WILL make amazing progress (and eventually profits) in your online ...
... business.
I want to share with you 2 very simple online strategies that are PERFECT for content creators like you and I.
If you are serious about success, and have felt stuck up to this point, I challenge you to try and apply one of the ideas below, and watch how rapid the results will be.
1 - Writing articles to sell affiliate products
This is where I started years and years ago... and it remains something that I still do occasionally when I want to earn some quick and easy affiliate commissions. The truth is, you can use a root level re-direct, and a high volume, expensive niche to earn GREAT money every day, and there are thousands of people doing exactly that, right now... as I write this.
The best approach is, a BIG evergreen market. (think diet/dating/divorce)
A high converting affiliate program with national brand recognition (think of, and apply to the affiliate programs you'll see advertised on TV, radio and major magazines)
And creating copious amounts of content that leads interested readers from your article to the affiliate offer directly. (using a root level re-direct)
Why is this so easy? It's about math, rather than marketing. And you don't have to sell anything, or do anything complicated or convoluted. You simply have to create content... and allow the natural intertia, and needs of the marketplace to go and flow. (in other words - if you are affiliating with a LARGE well known diet company, and people who are reading your articles NEED to lose weight, and a certain amount of them visit that well known diet company visa vi reading your article as the bridge... you WILL earn commissions. PERIOD)
I used the exact approach above to generate 1 million new readers in less than 6 months in a high volume niche a few years ago... with nothing but caffeine, my keyboard and content! (100% free traffic!)
2 - Writing articles to build YOUR brand, blog and business
This is the approach that I now prefer, and quite simply... if you have something that you are passion ate about, or a service that you'd like to offer, article marketing is the PERFECT medium to get your message out to the masses. The key is, you've got to use your content to build a community of subscribers, friends, fans and followers. (in other words, in the words of Seth Godin, your "TRIBE")
Article marketing is particularly powerful for what I call "enlightened entrepreneurs". People of PURPOSE and passion who want to make a profit as well. Those of us who care about our communities, and want to make a contribution, but value cash flow, too! If you are selling a service as teacher, trainer, coach, consultant or marketing mentor... kicking content out copious amounts of creative content on a daily basis is the ONLY surefire way to be successful that I know of. (and of course, using that content to build your community via an opt in form or newsletter list)
The key takeaway is...
