I'm just getting started with article marketing. Should I only write articles pertaining to my niche? I can write articles about other things I am knowledgeable about but I'm not sure it would help.
As you want to write articles just for marketing your website, you should only write articles pertaining to your niche. Writing articles about other things will not help you.
You can write articles about things that are indirectly connected to your niche. For example if you are writing articles about shoes, you can write articles about shoe laces, shoe polish, socks etc etc. If you can find a way to write about what you are passionate about and relate it to your niche I would say go for it.
If you are selling kitchen stuff, why would someone who finds an article on dog houses be interested in visiting your site? The answer is that they probably wouldn't. For that reason, stick to your niche if you are writing content for the purpose of marketing.
Just create a network of blogs and start writing anything that you can write about, it will help you get more link juice and you'll rank higher in Google.
Yeah focus on your niche and if you put a lot of energy into it you will have tons of good content and rank well and people will like to read it. I you just write about random stuff all over you will just have random junk that will never rank and never be read.
This is a problem on how to do things effciently.You'd better be clear about what's the most important.All the time should be allocated to this.Or it will not do any good to you,just a waste of time.
