    Hello!

    I am new to marketing, and have been trying to read and learn as much as I can.

    SO thank you all for your helpful comments/threads.

    Right now I am trying to concentrate on writing blogs, and i know from reading that the best way to start out getting traffic (free) to my website you have to write alot of blogs, which is okay for me! But, how can I wrote 100 articles? and i have been using google for keywords! I have wrote like 6 and am running out of stuff to write about.

    If anyone could help me out it would be very appreciated.

    I have posted on squidoo, ezine, goArticles so far.

    The best one tip I can give about article marketing is think quality over quantity. You are better writing 5 high quality articles than 50 rubbish ones. It is more time efficient in the long run to take your time and write good content. A really good article posted in EZine articles can get you hundreds of links if people put them on their blogs, plus more people will visit your site of they read a good article that is associated with you.

    I suggest you build a keyword list first of keywords that you want to rank for. For each keyword, you write one article. What niche is your site in? It should be within a niche you're interested in so that you don't run out of things to write about. Do research too. Look at blogs and websites that are within the same niche and see what they're writing about.

    Can't agree more with Jon. Go for quality. Anyone can write or buy crappy articles (and they do) and people are getting fed up with those. Same goes for Google. It won't love your hastily written content. You should also create videos from your articles and post them on YouTube, Vimeo etc. and link them to your site.

    The best return for your efforts is Ezines, in my opinion, but their standards are now quite high and they have very tight rules about backlinking. Also Articlesbase is good. Both directories have good statistics to help you analyze your work. You can also go down the article spinning route for distributing basically the same article in lots of blogs. But I do not recommend this unless you are prepared to edit each verskion very carefully so that it reads properly.

    you should research first about what you want to write.
    blogs is not only option to get free traffic.
    you can use squido, hubpages, weebly or even by creating facebook fan page.

    What niche is your website on? Is your website about a topic that you have knowledge or are passionate about? This is important because you need to produce content for this site and it would be more difficult for you to write about something you don't know or don't care about. Once you have decided on a niche, think about the keywords. What keywords are you targeting? You can write articles based on those keywords since you need to optimize your articles with them. We have lessons on content creation that might also help.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Once you have decided on a niche, think about the keywords it is very important. You are not writing for a scientific or literary society, but to your peers on the Internet. Just write some basic ideas down, put the article aside, and then come back to it tomorrow.

    When it comes to article writing, think about optimize and quality contents. Article writing could be a waste of time if you are not considering these aspects. Choose your niche, then choose a subject that would interest your readers then write as if you are talking to someone who needs your help. Make sure to incorporate your chosen keywords to your content, observe proper keyword density and placement to your article.

    So you are planning to write 100 articles? Take time to practice writing over and over again until you get used to it. Writing is a learning process so practice and test until you reach your goal. For now, focus on writing Optimize and great Quality content and speed will follow.

    Yes definitely quality over quantity but if you can have many high quality articles then even better! Best, just stay open and keep learning, you'll get there.

    Great discussion. It is very helpful. Yes, Quality of the content you are going to write is more important in my opinion. I am working with a online money making site "List My Five". List my five is a platform where people can earn money by creating, publishing and sharing their own Top Five Lists online. If you love money writing then join List My Five.

    Sometimes it helps to outsource some of the article writing, this is how the professionals do it

    Outsourcing writing tasks is a great time and energy saver. There are plenty of sites like oDesk and iWriter to name a few where you could go and hire someone to write for you. Still, it's best to try and do it on your own especially if you are a newbie.

    Stick to your topic. Make it interesting. Make it free from all grammatical and spelling errors. Most importantly write thinking from the readers perspective. Its very important that you attract your readers towards your article.

    Hi,
    Ya its a tough work but also creative one. It enhance your skills and give enough knowledge so that you can have a stand in this industry.
    I think the most important thing for writing, first do a little work on the title of your article it must be eye catching so you can get more clicks and second thing is your content must be through the point and material should be authentic and not copied from any web. Use some pictures to make it more efficient and after all this work do social book marking and post on other social mediums like face book linkdin and other webs. Do comments on others blogs and also do blog post.
    May be these tips will help you. :)
