I have a question for affiliates who have experience with article marketing on larger scale... how many articles do you usually submit per day? I have limited experience with article marketing promoting my own product. I submit an average of 25 articles per week which produce about 7 sales. I usually get one per day. I wonder how many articles per day the "big guys" submit to produce about $500.00/day income. Thanks.
25 articles with 7 sales, it is amazing. You can find some niche that you can earn $50 per sale, then you will earn $500 per day easily.
I'm earning $50 to $70 per day in one niche that has 100 articles total that I've written for it. I add 10 fresh articles per week for this campaign. The key isn't writing a hundred articles a week. The key is writing articles that will stay on page one of yahoo & google and that have enough traffic for their specific long tail keywords. 100 well optimized articles brings me 200 url clickthroughs per day = 15 conversions.
It really depends on a huge number of factors such as quality, article length, niche, keyword optimization, SERPS, etc. 10 well written articles will out perform 100 low quality ones, which is also how the "big guys" think. 25 Articles a week with only 7 sales doesn't make much sense, you should look into changing your landing page, targeting different keywords, etc. When I submit an article I expect to make at least a couple sales or else I won't even waste my time submitting it.
