Everyone has his own missions. Most people fail, just a few pass. I have a few examples: ExpertForumGuy has a mission to write 20 articles today. Another DPer romil_saxena has a mission to post on every single thread here today Things are funny. Aren't they?
Sorry guys, I went out partying with the boys yesterday, so i got 20 articles done, but I did not have time to time to update you guys on my progress. Sales Yesterday: 0 So I'm getting tons of hoplinks....Kinda.....Even though I think this is temporary, and I have some various hoplinks from past projects (like 12) - just random things that never really convert; but yeah, hopefully if I keep up this pace, I should start seeing sales - I'm surprised I didn't make anything yesterday, but whatever. Time to submit another 20 articles. Hopefully the sales roll in, or I'm going to quit.....lol yeah right. Naw I'm too stubborn to quit Let Me Go Over My Plan There are tons of people saying "backlink your articles" - and I would do that, but like I said, this is temporary, just 20 articles a day, I do not plan on writing 20 articles for the rest of my life, just to get enough cash so I can't start building up my own blogs. I really want to build up blogs, work with other writers and promote the content that they provide on the blogs. I have tons of different ways I'm going to promote this blog mostly using SEO techniques and backlinking. I also want to work with PPC as well, and use the blogs as pretty much a source of my true cash. Plus there are some other projects that I do not want to disclose at this point, that I want to work on in the future hopefully even with members that are reading this thread! Of course I'll be able to attract more partners if this journal is a success, naturally.....so I guess that's even more motivation to succeed, right? Anyways, hopefully this journal is a success and inspires others to be successful - that's it, time for another 20 articles
Exactly. That's the point I was trying to make before. Unless your articles make it into the "most viewed" section of your category, they will just keep dying out and only get traffic from your own competitors if you don't backlink them to rank them in Google.
EZA articles are syndicated alot of places throughout the internet, so naturally they get backlinks....I mean I could bookmark them, but.....I don't know what exactly will happen, and if you wanted long term success, you'd have to keep building backlinks over a long period of time.....or they'd fall off anyways. So it's all relative, I might as well do this, and use long term promotion for my personal blogs. I think all people should do that, leave the quality articles to yourself - and use ezinearticles as just a start-up.
Dude, no one here is trying to put you down they are just trying to give you suggestions and fine tune what you are doing now, I admire your motivation to write 20 articles a day but the advice on backlinking articles is sound and it will give you some long term money,I realise you want to promote your blogs but doing that will take you longer!! Writing 20 articles a day is great but they will only last a day or two in the search engines or maybe not get picked up at all if there are no backlinks pointing to them.
Okay okay.....everybody is saying backlink...I'm going to have to break and finally do so.....lol.....so how do you think I should go about doing that, any suggestions, I have some ideas, but of course I want other's input. I actually think most people on here are genuinely supportive of me taking action, so I guess that's a good thing. Another thing is this, the more money I start generating, you are going to see my methods transform a little bit, Like I said, this is dirt phase 1 marketing, just getting articles out there and trying to get some cash so i can afford some "tools" to really boost my long term income. the reason I write 20 articles a day without promotion is because writing 20 articles is easy to me for some reason. I'm typing on subjects i already know about, so I do not struggle too bad on it. I do not even feel close to burned out.... If I were to promote the EZA website then I would essentially be burning myself out because that's something I just do not want to do, If that makes sense? With that being said, I'm still willing to experiment and to adjust my methods if you guys have some suggestions. I can change, that's the key to success right?
I understand that, but if you're looking for a "quick solution" to make money so you can afford some tools to try other things, why not sell your services as an article writer? Even if you charge $5 per article at 20 a day....that's $100 a day. Do that for a week or two and you got a good amount of money saved up to spend on the other tools you need. It sounds like this whole 20 articles a day thing is just to "get you started" so to speak with making money and you really want to shift your attention elsewhere. The articles you're writing aren't even guaranteed to make you money if you're not promoting them so if this is only a temporary thing for you, I'd say you're better off selling the articles and then expand on your other ideas from there such as building up your own blog, etc.
Dude, stop worrying about promoting EZA!! What really matter is weather you are making money, if EZA are making some adsense cash of you who cares!! AS LONG AS YOU ARE MAKING MONEY and EZA are helping you then theres NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Dude, what do you think EZA are suppose to do to keep their business going if they don't make some money of their articles?? Sell popcorn??? Like I said before, what you are doing is great! but you make your efforts worth while you need to START backlinking to give them rankings and get traffic!! I would start book marking , do some web 2.0 sites and link them to your articles, then try blog commenting on blogs that are in your niche, even try using yahoo answers.
Hmmm.....this is a good suggestion. I should start and try to sell my services now that I think about it, I'll definitely look into that, but still in the mean time, I'm still the 20 articles a day man....hopefully it doesn't end in miserable failure - You have any pointers of where to go?
I think it will if you continue on this strategy, this thread will be no use to anyone and just be an example of "What not to do when using article marketing"
You can go into the content creation section on this forum. You can also go to places like elance, scriptlance, odesk, and all those freelance sites. You should definitely be able to find people on those.
Quick Update: I am going to add a 5th product to my already 4 products. Most of my products average around 30 bucks a day if I actually sold one, which means if I sell each product once a day - that will be a little under 120$ a day, but if I add this high ticket Item, it can boost it to nearly 200$ a day, which is a huge difference. This may also mean that I could increase production, but we'll see......
Yes, do that. Starting to promote more products was what made all the difference for me. Now I'm getting sucked back into promoting only the two or three products that make me the most sales - as a result my revenues have dropped drastically. I suppose there are just so much people you can sell to in any given niche. Promoting lots of products, and doing constant testing, while focusing more and more on the things that work is the key
The quickest way to get clients for article writing will be to post a thread in the forums where you are active. You can post one in the content creation section here, and in other webmaster forums where you are active. There are a lot of opportunities waiting to be tapped at elance, guru and others but you need time to build up your reputation there. You can also try looking for clients at craigslist. As you are quite active here, you can atleast start by advertising your services via your signature. Your threads are getting lots of views and you may well get some clients too. But only if you offer a cheap price (An example is $3 for a 500 words unique article)
The problem with writing so much and then doing nothing for them is that you are actually losing money. I get that you do not want to build back links for your articles as you only want to do so for your main site but then shouldn't you be writing your 20 daily articles for your site to begin with? You'll be indexed very easily AND you will be building your OWN webiste not some one elses. Ezinearticles is great for getting sales once the articles get views from the search engines and that is only going to happen if you build backlinks for them. By all means continue with 20 articles per day but do so for your page (or copy paste them to other article directories and build backlinks for your EZA articles). Good luck!
I would suggest you start by going to onlywire.com and get a free account (you'll need to put a link to them on one of your blogs for this). Then just bookmark each ezinearticle you write (just FYI, DIGG won't accept them, but most of the others will). I find it only takes a minute to submit to 20+ sites using onlywire. Sometimes this is all I do to easily beat out competing ezinearticles, and it seems to work well. I also took a look at your blog, and it looks like you had a very similar strategy last year (it looks like you were at one time trying to write 100 articles a day?!). Apparently, that didn't get you where you wanted to be then, however, so listening to helpful advice here might help...?
It was just an aiming point, so I could get the most production out of myself - I am smart enough to know 100 articles a day is impossible, just a goal to aim for to get the most work done...... And I have actually had pretty good success in the past multi-hundred dollar days and everything, I just stopped writing and getting into IM because I was a football player and college student..... but thanks for the advice, I will definitely try to do the onlywire thing, so now should call this 20 articles a day and onlywire submissions.
I write and publish some articles on adsense sharing websites - I've over 4,000 on various sites. I did this mad thing so I could learn first hand 1) what I write that people would read 2) what articles earn the most. I started analysing 300 of the articles from stats I have collected on them over 1 year and couldn't have predicted the findings and I really doubt anyone could have. I'm not going to share the most intriguing insights I've gained but I can assure you that when you end your 20 a day campaign you'll have a body of work which will reveal at least some of what I've found and this will be very beneficial to your blogs and websites when you start to develop them.
