For the bum marketing guys: How many articles do you write per niche linking to your website? I launched my first product for a very specific niche and I'm publishing one article every day but I'm running out of ideas. Thanks!
I write 10 good articles all pointig to a squidoo lense. If I produce at least one sale from that then I start submitting between 3 and 5 a day. I write no more than 10 until i get a sale. If i'm doing a decent amount of traffic i tweek my squidoo lense until i see a sale then i'll get back to submitting articles. I read somewhere that you can expect 1 sale per article per month (on average of course). Honestly, i'm not seeing that kind success.
It is all about testing. I don't do article marketing on some of the niche's I'm in. I just don't find it worth the time. Other niche's might do really well and it is up to you to determine if the reward is large enough for the amount of time invested in that. If it's not, do something else in your marketing plan. Marketing is about adjusting to what works for YOU! It is not about conforming to what others are doing.
The more you make the better. Make 10 and submit them. If you earn $20 a week with 10 articles. Make 100 and submit them. It's that simple my friend, you see making money online is very easy, if you work hard
If you're stumped for how to write those articles, try a few of these cheats I used when I'm having writer's block: 1) Subscribe to Google Alerts for your niche, your product names, and all the related topics that are somewhat related to your subject - use these as take off points for "news alert" style pieces talking about trends in your niche, or trending about a particular product 2) Cut through your subject matter with different "slices" or ways of looking at it - for instance: * Benefits only - write all about the benefits of the product *Controversy or scandals, misconceptions, scams and myths about the product or niche * Frequently asked questions - what are the common user questions or buyer questions about it *Media News - Has your niche or product been covered in traditional media? talk about it - "X Product was recently featured on Oprah and she had this to say about it" or "X magazine had an article about this, and here's where they got it right, and here's where they got it wrong." *Celebrities or famous people (athletes, writers, gurus, etc.) who are said to use the product; quote them if you can find quotes; describe how the reader might experience similar benefits or enjoy using it just as much *Origins or history- about the niche, the product, this type of product, etc. Information about the company that manufacturers it, the original concepts behind it, what the product inventor's inspiration and goals were Hope this helps!
