I am demotivated - Need your help and inspiration !!!

    Hi friends, I have 15 live articles on EZA, resulting in over 2500 views, 175 clicks and JUST 2 sales.

    The newer articles I wrote are getting fewer views and CTR's and sadly no sales.

    I am demotivated now. I know I am losing heart too soon so how do i keep myself motivated to keep writing ?

    Social bookmark your articles, and pay someone else to write your articles. Then pay someone else to rewrite those articles. 15 articles isn't enough, think 300-400. That will get you sales.

    I agree, you just can't do everything yourself. Have someone write, re-write your articles. If you need to know some excellent re-writers at very affordable rates, please contact me. I can share with you who I've been using.

    Keep it up!

    Maybe you're not preselling enough in your articles. 2:175 sales is not terrible, but a 7% click through on your articles is pretty low. Maybe you can write shorter articles with a strong call to action in the resource box.

    If you post examples of your articles here, perhaps someone can give you some more specific advice.

    does everyone calculate their conversions on diff products or overall ?
    coz this is my overall conversion but the product i sold was 2 sales with 18 hops !
    i noticed many of my articles have high ctr and few just terrible. i guess i need to see what i did 'right' in the articles with high ctr.

    15 articles isn't much - I just had my first 10 article day. Including keyword research, it took 2 1/2 hours on the dot to write 10 articles and make a lander. Try aiming for at least 5 a day!

    you should focus on conversion by product ...

    something that's converting at 1 in 9 - you should focus more on

    something that's converting at 1 in 100 - you should focus less on

    simple really :)

    2 sales with 175 clicks is pretty good.

    As I've said before, article marketing is hit and miss. You might make 5 sales with 50 hops, and next 5 sales might come after 1000 hops....

    So there is nothing really to worry about. This is the way it is.

    One thing I Must suggest you first is: If you are in the arena of affiliate marketing then you have to fight to get success. Losing hope is strictly prohibited even if you get 0 sales from your best efforts.

    Just give more and more efforts without losing hope and try to maximize the effect of your every action. 15 Articles are not too much to get sales. You have to work more.

    Of course it does.

    I get hits to my articles from a lot of article directories, but no clickthroughs. In addition to EZA, I get clickthroughs from:

    Articlesbase
    Searchwarp

    Hope it helps you out.

    Seriously, you can't expect to get rich off of 15 articles. You haven't even done anything. I can dish out 20 articles on my niches and get them all submitted to Ezinearticles (all accepted) in two hours. I have thousands of articles across tons of article directories - they mainly get me backlinks, but seriously.. 15 ain't going to cut it. And, ezinearticles never delivered me long term results.

    Obviously, by article marketing with EA you're looking for a way to get sales using free methods. Why stop at ezinearticles? In fact, why on earth would you only use EA? Sure there are 1 in 10000 people who get lucky off of ezinearticles, and they write stupid e-books claiming they're millionaires off of EA, but the ONLY reason that happened was because their article ranked in search engines for a good keyword. Many articles ranking for many good keywords = tons of traffic.

    So, you should look heavily into web 2.0 promotion. If your ezinearticle delivers traffic, here is the next step you want to do. You want to dominate the entire front page for that keyword which is delivering you traffic. If ezinearticles can rank, so can everything else.

    Here are a bunch more places to submit your unique articles: blogspot, quizilla, wordpress, usfreeads, webs, tripod, google web. Interlink. These will easily dominate low competition long-tail keywords. Mass produce them, and there you go.

    Next, you watermark your video and you submit it to all the top video sites, with your keyword in it. You can take someone else's video and go watermark it using the free watermarking software microsoft provides. Just make sure it's legal.

    Social bookmark all these sites.

    Stop thinking small. EA is a waste of time. EA is good, but not as good as before. Yes you can make money off of it, but not as much as other methods. Combine EA with tons of other strategies and you've got your sales.
