anyone had good luck writing articles and submitting to Ezine? I do like 5 a week and make a sale or two but wondering if anyone has made good money ($100 profit a day +) doing this. Just wondering if i should ramp up my efforts or if i am getting lucky doing the sales i am doing now.
Articles marketing is so effective because when people search for something online , they are mostly looking for informations. So keep doing what you're doing but try to make more articles like 30 a week. Make a keyword research and don't write for Low or no searched keywords. SEO your articles. Then You'll get more sales and money , So you'll be able to hire writers to write for you and to enlarge your buisness. Don't forget , keywords are the key
5 articles a week is nearly nothing.. You need at least 50 per week .. to scale up the process and earn even moe. Don't give up if 200 articles won't bring you many results, you just need to submit on an on .. Optimize your keywords...
lol Do you know how long it takes to write 200 articles? Volume is important but it's even more important to promote the articles otherwise you're only getting 40-50% out of it.
if you i wrote 200 articles every week, how be my sales perday! $100+, and i write 200 articles for ONE niche? or for any niche i want?
This is how I figure it: Lets say i were to write 100 articles a week (20 a day. I dont work on Sat/Sun). Each article gets around 30-80 clicks (not views, clicks) on average the first week. Lets say on average I can get a 25% CTR from my article to my landing page. This equals 12.5 visitors to my site from my article. So you have this: 12.5 clicks * 100 articles = 1250 hits to my landing page Average HOP through rate is 30-50% 1250 hits to my webpage * 40% HTR = 500 visitors to vendor Conversion of product is 1% 500 visitors * 1% conversion = 5 sales. Each sale is $20 $20 * 5 = $100 week I can set up a lemonade stand and make more money than that. Do these figures make sense? I tried to use averages the best i could.....
Probably tough to achieve that (on average). Don't try to get too fancy with the math or predictions. Instead, try it for a week and see what your results are. Then you can decide if it's worthwhile to pursue it.
I could not have said it better. You can predict what article will convert for you. That where testing comes in at. Article marketing is not a lazy man game. It really is a number game. 50 articles might increase your sells or 200 articles might do the trick. You won't know until you DO IT. Hopefully, you have done proper research and picked a niche that people are spending money in.
rjd is right in a way...and because he knows the average numbers that means he already tried it...i like article marketing but don't expect to get rich from it especially now when evryone is doing it...
100 articles a week would be good, but you should really be aiming for $25 per article - your calculations add up to only $1 per article. Your calculations are okay until you get to the conversion rate (you should really be getting over 100 views per article in the first week though). If you choose a good product and write a good presell then your conversion rate should be at LEAST 2-3% - I don't promote any product that converts at less than 5%. I also don't know why people promote products that pay only $20 when they could promote a product that paid out $50 - $100 for the same amount of work. I think many people are under the impression that it's easier to sell a cheaper product but this actually isn't true. My best converting products all pay out over $50 per commission, and the refund rate is actually alot lower than the cheaper products. When you're doing article marketing you've got to stop thinking worst case scenario and start doing things that will increase your value per article. Test and tweak everything - the titles, the resource boxes, the article style, the keywords, the submission times - everything, until you start earning a decent amount per article. Otherwise, as you said above, it's not worth your time.
I think it might be better to look at article marketing as a two way process - it can be an effective way of building links and getting affiliate income but at the same time you'll be creating backlinks to your site using relevant keywords and building your credibility, this in turn will help your SERPS. Short term - maybe some adsense and affiliate income directly from the articles. Long term - improved and sustainable rankings in Google and co
If the product's conversion rate is only %1 you're wasting your time. Find another. For articles: Try and push out 20-30 a day. If you can't type quickly, pick up Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, train it, and use it. You will find this to be an invaluable tool and it's actually highly accurate if you train it properly. You won't have many mistakes to correct. The Main Things you Need to Do: 1.First off, make sure you have a snazzy title. A good title can be half the work. Include your keyword phrase and make it catchy. Something people will read. 2.Make sure you optimize your articles for the appropriate keywords. This, of course, is highly important. 3.Submit your articles. Don't just submit to EZA. Yes, they are the best, but they aren't the only article directory out there. Submit to GoArticles, Article Dashboard, Article Alley, just submit to as many as you can. Make sure the your article summary/description is also catchy and keyword optimized. 4.Bookmark your articles. How? Grab an account on OnlyWire and make an account on EVERY one of the social bookmarkers that it submits to. If you have Firefox, install the button on your browser. Once your articles are approved and live, bookmark them with OnlyWire. Note that you will have to "finalize" a few services. Onlywire will let you know which and how. 5.On article directories that supply you with an "author feed", take your author RSS feed and submit it to feed directories such as Feedage. A simple google search for "rss feed directory" will give you a large list that you can submit to. As with articles directories, the more you submit to the better. 6.Make mini-blogs on Wordpress.com and Blogger.com about the general topics that your articles are about. Don't put your articles on them, make unique content (usually 3-5 posts on each blog) and use text links to link to your individual articles. Use the same keyword you used in your article title as anchor text for your link in the blogs. 7.Make Squidoo lenses and Hubpages with unique content just as you did with the blogs in the step above and link to your articles in the same way. 8.Rinse and repeat. Hope this helps some. Keep at it.
Ok, I'm going to sound like a scammy internet marketer, so please bear (growl) with me: I'm going to show you EXACTLY what I did to make upwards of $50 a day, right here, FOR FREE! ok, enough...I'll show you one of my more successful ventures in article marketing. I've found that like with Social Networking sites, articles about top-10, top-5, the best, etc... work and convert very well. I'm a big music buff, so I decided to make my own top list article and submit it to eZinearticles. If you want to see the article, go to google and type top 10 electric guitars: You will see that my article is actually #1! The article is 720 words, but was quite fun for me to write. So, I have an affiliate link embedded at the end that points to a Clickbank product that shows people how to play guitar. Pretty nice product actually and plays well with the subject matter of my article. ok, now Here are my article stats for the article from eZine: 3,022 Views (since last august), 100 URL Clicks (clicks to my affiliate link). Look at my last paragraph (which is the signature for this particular article)...I have a nice call to action: "Want to learn more about rocking out and picking the right electric guitar for you? Visit http://my affiliate link m and discover what it takes to shred like your favorite guitarists." You can place your destination URL in there. Ok, like I said, I had fun writing the article, but I don't think I am mentally capable to write 20 of these a day, although Dragon Speak sounds like a good idea...but for Windows users, you already have the voice recognition capabilities built in Rock on
If you can't produce 20-30 today yourself, produce as many as you can and then find free PLR articles (Google search them) and re-write them to be unique. Quick and easy.
Great! I do almost all these things already except for the RSS feed. not quite sure what that all is yet. I do have blogs set up and update them weekly. i also have the Firfox onlywire too so i am set.
Last month I wrote about 70-80 articles and probably about 30 squidoo lenses, I made just over $1100 from these so works out about $11 an article on average, I dont think thats bad at all what does everyone else think In my opinion good keyword research and sticking to a set plan of action is the key with this sort of marketing
That is good! I have Squidoo lens but dont do much with it. Do you make 30 different lens and just add content to them? Not sure how to monetize that to make money from it? Do you point the links in your lens to your article or site?
You make as many lenses as you can handle, add about 3-4 "text boxes" of content, and I usually link directly to individual articles that I have on EZA. You can do it toward a site as well, but sometimes you'll have your lens shut down if the site has anything with referral or affiliate links. Linking to your articles is great, though, because it boosts your articles' ranking in the search engines which results in.....MORE VIEWS
