What do you DISLIKE most about article marketing

I have as well- and do you know how I found out? I submitted a particular article to a couple of directories. A few days later I decided to submit the same article to ezinearticles. My account was then suspended with ezinearticles as I was accused of plagiarism because some a***hole decided to copy my article from one of the first batch of directories I posted to without putting up my resource box!! Ofcourse, after ezinearticles copyscape checked my article, the first 'copy' they came to was this thief's which just happened to be sitting as the first query (they didn't think to look at queries 2,3,4 etc which just happened to have the same title with my name plastered all over them). I immediately sent a 'nice' email to this person who subsequently added my resource box but it took ezinearticles three days to un-suspend my account!

 

Unfortunately you're going to see that happen and there's not much we can do about it. I too have had many articles published without my resource information. Very frustrating.

 

The hardest thing for me seems to be coming up with new ideas. Once I have the idea I can usually write it.

 

I don't like the it takes a little time to see results - I do like that it's cheap

 

It's not pleasant to submit an article to top sites like ezinearticles.com, then some webmaster take it on his/her website using the software that changes some words to make it look unique (I can't remember how they call that software) so my name ends up as an author of an a totally changed, awful looking and almost senseless sounding article.

 

I hate the article writing part of article marketing

 

The research is what I hate most.

 

That interesting but it's still plagiarism! I wonder how much people even know about it. You can't just change a few words, you have to re-write it from scratch and research it yourself. There really isn't a point in changing any words if you don't change them all!

I recently submitted a few articles, they were free on my site anyway, so they are bound to get used regardless. Hopefully it ends up getting some traffic.

 

For me it's finding good quality outsourcing to produce the work. Sometimes you can invest $$ and not get a good return because of low response and too few sales. I am turning my focus to more name capture and less direct sales to increase ROI............

 

Can't really do much about the plagiarism. I try not focus on it and focus more on the good traffic I get from them.

 

I dislike writing articles on a weekly basis, it's extremely time consuming.

 

I usally outsource articles I cant stand wriiting them

 

Writing articles is more than just "writing articles". An article directory such as ezinearticles.com gives you a place to store ALL your articles and to give you credibility as an "expert author".

I don't care if people steal my articles. It doesn't hurt the intent of the purpose of my articles which is to gain credibility and to get people to leave a name and email at my website.

 

Same is for me. People steal away the articles and place them in their sites and blogs without giving link back to our resource.

Sometimes it looks monotonous to write on the same theme again and again in order to push a keyword from seo point of view.

 

There are techniques to everything in life. article marketing can be fun. It can really make you an expert in a topic just for having to write about it so much.

Don't see it as a chore see it as learning about your topic and your return can be great.

I make most of my sales from this and really I make lots of money per month. Lets say I make thousands of dollars from writing everyday. I also found a good way to market on line and came here to share it.

I just wrote about it if you are interested. It has helped me cut down on all that writing and it really works. Here is a link http://freesafelistadvertising.blogspot.com/

1. When writing artilces focus on at least 5 problems a person can have with the subject you are writing about.

2. Write an article on solving each problem then write an article adressing all five. that would give you 6 articles.

3. Dont give away the main secret of how to solve the problem, tell them the solution without telling them how to specifally do it.

There is a whole lot more to article writing but that should be a start. If you want traffic, I swear to this go here http://freesafelistadvertising.blogspot.com/

if you have anything to ask about article marketing send me a pm, I cant navigate this big site and often loose my way and never return to a thread.

 

Are articles still good for backlinks and steady link velocity?

 

Yup.

Besides, many times all one has to do is to put his url that isn't live in within the articles itself. If the readers like the articles, they will either copy and past it in their address window, or type it in.

Article writing is easy, and sometimes it can be fun. And you can use that same article to submit to other sites, time after time after time....

 

I've recently had some of my content copied word for word as well. The only credit and link that was given was to a competitor's site, nothing for me at all. Thankfully though I'm working something out with the person who did it. They apologized and are doing me a favor in return.

 

I also hate writing articles because I find it hard to think of things to write about. I'm not yet convinced that they drive traffic.

 

i don't like write an article.
