Heres another question to article marketers, how many articles did you submit before you seen your first sale? and did you direct link that to the affiliate page, did you send them to an opt in page and upsell them via email marketing later or?
I had 5 articles submitted before my first sale. Posted only on EZA and direct linked direct to the affiliate page. About as lazy as it gets... but it did generate the first sale within about 50 article views.
I made my first sale!!!! I'm going to stick with it and keep trying. I know I have plenty to learn before I can call myself an article marketer but I just set the first stone to that foundation The only thing that really bugs me is that Ezinearticles takes a lot of time before approving my articles. It almost made me quit. Luckily I discovered Hubpages, so while I wait for my ezine approvals I do some writing there. Dennis so far I have used only domain forwarding and after 15 live articles on EZA, 6 on goarticles, 3 squidoo lenses and 2 hubs I have seen my first sale. My plan is to offer quality over quantity and from now on I will focus more on promoting those
