If you have tried to hire online marketers in order to generate traffic to your website, you know how unbelievable expensive this can get. In many cases you may not even have been very satisfied with the results which came from this attempt done by so called expert online marketers. Of course it will not be what you have dreamt of because no one is going to put in the amount of work it actually takes to promote a website, especially not someone else's site. Hiring internet marketers to do the job so that you will get the results you want will cost you more money than what you probably willing and/or able to spend. So what do you do? Take the matters in your own hands. Contrary to what you may think, you do not have to be an expert internet marketing person in order to do your own marketing. It is actually quite simple not to mention much less expensive than hiring someone else to do it for you. Believe it or not but writing articles and submitting them to article directories are one of the most effective ways of marketing your website or product. Really, it is that simple as long as you are willing to put in the time to write these articles. The more articles you write about your site and subject the more traffic you will see come your way. There are so many article directories out there where you can submit your articles too and the more of them you submit yours to, the better. Keep the content of your article relative to your product/site and you are bound to see a new flow of traffic. The best thing you can do is to find niche directories regarding your topic because in doing so you know that all the visitors to those directories are looking for information regarding your product. The more links you have out there to your website, the higher you will start getting in the search engines also. Writing an article does not take a lot of time and as long as you get a minimum of 4 articles out a week you should start seeing some great results within about 2-3 weeks. The more articles, the merrier. Again, if you are no longer willing to throw your money out the window in hopes that one of the internet marketers you hire will actually produce the results you want, take matters in your own hands from now on. If you are not confident in how to write articles then visit one of the article directories and read some of the articles which has been submitted there by someone just like you. Someone no longer willing to throw their money away or put their faith in the hands of someone else. Copyright Hege Crowton - Mrs Crow
Of which I must follow! I promise to start writing some articles once I get some sites sold, a little clean up on my remaining sites, and start submitting said articles. Of course, time spent on writing articles is time not spent at the casino! LOL Just found my article site! Have to add that one to my list of sites to build up! http://www.freearticlesite.net Any help much appreciated....
I appreciate that very much , I had hoped it may helped a newbie or some of us that have forgotten this ... Its amazing how complacent I can become at times.........
i never thought much of articles other than they might give you some pr. never thought you could generate traffic from them. i'll try it.
Excellent post.....for people that have time that is. Why do people outsource or hire their own employees? Because time is money. This is great advice for the "work at home" person or someone doing this as a second job for fun. However, when you're dealing with firms and corporations that employ more than 5 people, typically they hire SEM's to do the work for them. Corporations have to weigh the factors of hassle, hiring, training, and more. Obviously you have to find reputatable SEM's in the field which isn't that hard if you know how to run a company to begin with. Time will always equal money, you can't forget that.
Yes, that triggered the old mind of mine when I read that post of yours (kschill). There are some excellent article writers right here on the DP forum, see the buy,sell,trade forums under either content or services for those writers. I think it would be more beneficial for me in the long run to hire one or more of those writers than wracking my brains and my fingers to come up with my own articles.
Yes Chris absolutely - Articles are the fastest way to get targeted traffic to your website cheaply or even FREE Here is a link from another thread where you can read more http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=71976&highlight=submitcontent.com I am familiar with your situation Chris if I can help in any way let me know!
Have you tried Elance. I've used them for outsourcing. Hiring employees, is a great way to free up your time and allows you to work on other projects.
I strongly suggest you give it a try and write an article and submit it to www.EzineCrow.com , when you submit it send me a pm and I will have my editors read it and send you suggestions or comments.
Great post! Based on my experience writing articles for clients, it also helps to look for subcategories and subtopics for the sites you are promoting. Write the articles based on these and ask for reader feedback. You use the latter as the basis for even more articles. The end product: a huge database of keyword-driven articles for SE purposes AND a large pool of actually useful materials that consumers can reference for a long long time to come.
I've used Elance on more than one occasion, and have always been very satisifed with the results, so I definitely recommend them if you're looking to outsource. Of course, I haven't worked with Mrs. Crow as of yet, so they may pale by comparison... Sam
Well one good point is in the Dp forum its about reputation for Mrs. Crow so the DP members can have assurance of knowing we are part of this community and wish to stay with it ...
