    awesome!

    don't get me wrong, I wasn't really trying to go against you. It is just that your OP kind of painted the picture that you needed to dish out tons of articles in order to get any kind of traffic, and unfortunately this is a belief that so much of the industry seems to hold on to. Also, I was in one of those moods where I felt like writing a long post.

    since i am here, ill keep on the subject.

    wide spread syndication is where it is at really. You get a link on a heavy traffic webpage and that page will keep sending you traffic month after month, all from one article. Don't even get me started on newsletters. You get an article published in a large newsletter and you can literally get a flood of visitors over the course of a week. Seriously, like 5 figures if its a big enough publication, of course this is not as common but a couple thousand is nothing. Best of all, those are targeted visitors who are already involved in the niche.

    If it is a niche that you plan on spending time in, it is actually a pretty wise choice to try to build contacts with digital publishers in the niche for this purpose. If you can write good, they believe your site provides their users with value, and they don't view you as a competitor many people will comply. Still article marketing as far as I am concerned, just a bit more on the marketing side of things... any way i am diving a little deep, this could be a thread of its own.

    The New Deal addressed the financial sector as the first, and probably most important, area for recovery. As the nation was enduring yet another bank crisis at the time of Roosevelt's inauguration, Roosevelt addressed the emergency first with relief measures. Reform measures for both the banking and securities industries followed in June. As recovery measures, these acts were successful in ending the banking crisis and restoring public confidence in U.S. banks.

    Interesting thread. INteresting because I can paraphrase it in a single sentence.

    I can't get X to work, therefore X doesn't work

    Ummm. No. Article Marketing does not work very well anymore if you dircet link to affiliate pages. It works great if you use it to send traffic to squeeze pages and build a list. any marketer who is not building a list is not a serious marketer and will never achieve success. I'm right and don't care what anyone else says about it.

    I can get any strategy to work that I try because I'm one of the best marketers in the world. I'm a 6 figure big shot heavy hitter my friend.

    I'm sick of all of the newbs getting lead by the hand by so called "gurus" who tell them that writing 5-10 articles every day and then linking to an affiliate page is going to make them $70,000 a year.

    No, it won't. Sorry. You have to build a list or quit marketing because you'll fail badly. Don't care who disagrees. I'm right and that's that.

    Nice stats, the large amount of revenues that could be earned with article marketing like all things that are saturated has dwindled considerably, now the only way to make article marketing profitable is to out source most of it

    How long does the income last? For example, I submit 500 articles in a month, will I be able to profit from them after 12 months to come?

    I agree with this. You won't be able to do it all the time. But even if it is only once in a while it will eclipse the results you get from writing hundreds of articles for links etc.

    Plus if you try that "write 20 articles a day" stuff you will burn out fast.

    You know, I can understand (to a point) why you would see it that way. The OP definitely showered this thread with that attitude. While I agree the OP completely about the importance of building a list, I also disagree that a list is required to make good money. There are plenty of people that kill it with landing pages.

    That aside, I believe that I have added much more value to this thread than your little 1 sentence summary gives credit for. Then again, I wouldn't expect someone that sells a push-button article creating software to agree with my methodology.

    For real... I can't write 20 articles a day. If I tried they would get so bad by the end. I cap out between 3000-4000 words and after that my quality goes down hill. Most of the time, I try not to even write that much.

    I'm all about quality over quantity. Although, I do recognize that quantity as its place, I try to avoid it when possible. IMO Its one of those things where the more and more you get your (quality) words out there, the less work you find yourself needing to do in order to maintain business.

    this guys a total worthless obvious small brained person who came on here trying to make
    money off the forum he sounds like an immature moron....he was an ass
    and should have been banned the moment he opened his mouth..

    in this case the lack of maturity made his own case
    he tried to weave a web from his initial post in this thread, you can smell a turd a mile away
    he's probably jacking off while he reads the replies to this thread

    Parents this is why you don't want to leave your child in the car with 110 degree
    temperature and the windows rolled up for more than 5 hours

    After reading this I think I'm going to move to another country
    like Wyoming or jersey....

    OP your earnings and the amount of articles you have don't discredit or disprove article marketing as a viable means for making money. I know some marketers that make tens of thousands a month with article marketing alone.

    There are other factors here:
    -offers
    -article variables (a lot of them) - mainly your copy writing skills
    -your author bio and whether or not you tested it

    My point is that just because you did not have success doesn't mean that someone else will not.
