Like 6 months ago I started a journal where I tried to make $1000 in a month. I made $0 I didn't really give it my all and that's why I failed. I have to say I did learn a lot. So I will be aplying what I learned (kind of) and do some article marketing (and article marketing only). What I'm gonna do 1) Find long tailed keywords that get searched for at least 30 times per day with a maximum of 12 000 competing pages 2) Write 5-10 articles per long-tailed keyword promoting 1 product 3) I will be redirecting my readers to the vendor's web page. I know this is not very good for the long term but I just want to so see how well I can do 4) Promote my articles Goals Sell. I really don't have a set amount of $$ in mind. I just want to sell using ezinearticles only We'll see how I do. Last time I learned a lot. This time I want to learn more... AND sell a lot
Hey, you seem to be going in the same direction is was going and honestly it ìs a very long and heart breaking one... well we all exaggerate sometimes Ya, so i read your last journal and all i can say is that you werent going to make anything with 2-10 or even 30 articles UNLESS ITS 5-30 ARTICLES PER DAY Oh and another thing i learned the hard way is the following: YOU WILL NOT MAKE MONEY BY DREAMING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And last but not leat, the time you spend on reading and learning does not count as time `worked`. You have to treat this like your job which means put at least 2-4 hours ( in the beginning ) and you will see success. Something that i find very funny is that people say that they will quit their 9-5 and work from home but ounce they start making $$$$$$$$$$$$ they actually tend to work more than 5-7 hours a day. Also, Good Luck and i wish you nothing but the best this time!
Try getting "Power Article Rewriter" so that when you write your articles, you can add nested variations while you are writing - so if you spend say 15 mins writing an article, it just means you spend 10 mins more, but the software writes all the possible combinations of the variations, so for one article you end up with something like 100 (depending on how many nests you use). Now if only there was something like this for mac users!.... I subscribe to Adam Short's Niche Profit Classroom and the primary way they teach to get traffic is via article marketing, so I will follow your thread with interest
Thank you very much! I also wanted to say that the reason I chose this way of IM was that I tend to get mentally tired when I do 2 much at once (squidoo, hubpages, blogger, etc). With ezines I just write articles and see which products convert.
I remember your last attempt at this. There is nothing wrong with trying again, especially since you've probably increased your knowledge level tenfold in the last 6 months! Who knows, this time you might just hit the jackpot if you stick to your plan. I attempted something similar to this (I think early last year), and like many do, I gave up after a while...but things have changed, and I have an inkling to give it another go. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, and do keep us updated!
Day 1 I just submitted 4 articles. I'm about to submit 1 more to make it 5 for today. Tomorrow and the days after I will be submitting about 10 articles per day. The I'll se wich articles get visited the most and which ones have a higher CTR and I'll promote the living @#$%$ out of them
One thing, using ezinearticles, you can't link directly to the vendor's salespage, they don't allow affiliate links in an article. Your best bet is to get a free blog account (really just use Blogger) and redirect from your article to a review page on Blogger then to the vendor's salespage. Hope that helps.
Dudes QUICK UPDATE! I JUST MADE MY FIRST CLICKBANK SALE EVER!!! HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH so EW$^%$@^%@$ excited.

Yup. Listen to navtej - he got it spot on. It's not planning, or writing posts about how you are committed or brain farting about it, it's sitting down and doing the damn work. At the end of they day, if you don't have the quality, you must persevere with quantity.
