All, Tim G a member at KWA has been making 5 figures per month from article marketing. He has released a new report called the power of article marketing and we are allowed to share it. Here is a link to the free report. http://www.chrisbradberry.com/tpam.pdf It is well worth reading. I followed his article blitz strategy for my lowest performing site and it now consistently earns $4 - $5 per day. Regards, Chris
Interesting article, but clearly someone just trying to promote some product via affiliate links.....
Of course there are affiliate links in the report. The content of the report is very solid though and I have done an article blitz (which is outlined in the report) to my lowest performing site and it is still doing well. No one can argue with that Chris
Why should it matter if there's affiliate links in there? If the report offers free valuable information to somebody (maybe not everybody), the report is still worth while to post here. That's my opinion, at least.
I hate these guys. Filling the web with tons of low quality content with no other purpose than to attract visitors. Considerably lowers the signal to noise content of searches.
Personally, I'd rather spend my time writing articles as content for my own sites, not to send off to directories. I find that if you build enough, you generate the backlinks w/o having to look for them. People find your content, they become regular readers, they trust you, and they link to your content or spread the word for you. And when you get to the point where word of mouth marketing is a major contributor, you're in marketing heaven, because it doesn't require any "extra" work from you. Jenn
I suppose this is just one way to "skin the cat"... it seems like a time consuming and lengthy way though. It appears to pay off. If anyone tries this be sure to post your findings.
I implemented a condensed version of his Article Blitz strategy two sites, a brand new site (not indexed) and a site that I have had for a while that has performed pretty poorly (less than $1 each month). By condensed I mean I actually ended up only submitting around 15 articles for each site with 1 article being mass submitted (multiple directories). The new site was indexed in 3 days and by the end of the blitz it started earning about $3 per day consistently. The blitz ended at the end of May and it is actually averaging a little more than $3 per day now. The other site now earns over $5 every day and actually hit $12 this past weekend. It is for a very high paying niche though. The new site averaged about 90 uniques per day in June, and the old site's average went from around 30 uniques per day to over 100. It is also worth noting that I created the new site and changed the old site using SEO Article Composer (which is discussed in the report), which has a layout that has given me an average CTR of over 30% for the entire month of June. The old site actually had a CTR of right under 50%... The author of the report demonstrated his technique with a member's site for May and it also now earns a consistent $5 per day. I personally plan to keeping on doing it on a small scale until the income allows me to outsource all the writing, then I will hit it hard. Let me know if you have any more questions. Chris
Wouldn't you being doing both? Writing for your website and syndicating via the article directories? It's not like your not going to post the article you just wrote on your own site. If "word-of-mouth" marketing were as easy as writing good content, there would be little need for PR (or PR agencies).
Actually, "word of mouth" marketing is Public Relations. We generate "buzz" which spreads word of mouth, usually using free or cheap methods. PR is a highly specialized form of marketing, just as advertising is. And no, I prefer to keep most of my content completely exclusive to my sites. Otherwise, people don't have much reason to keep coming back. I don't want my articles all over the Web for the most part. Submitting articles to article directories just to have a resource box or something with a link back to your site isn't the same as having exclusive content. And I certainly don't want to have my own sites penalized for duplicate content on the Web by reposting to my sites what I've submitted elsewhere. I have exceptions, because of non-exclusive content written for older clients where the rights reverted back to me. But nearly all of my new content is exclusive to my sites for that reason. Jenn
ABSOLUTELY. Of course if you are cranking out 20 articles a day the quality is probably so low that they are throw-aways. But if you took the time and loving care to create even one article a week, your page will grow with quality content and you will generate traffic forever! best regards wiz
Thats a really good report. Thanks for the link. I've been reading it all night. Its something Ive been doing on a smaller scale, so I'm quite excited to go try and do this method.
I heard about the success using article directories. But whenever i write an article, i always say, why should i post the article on another site when i have my own site.
Besides, I have recently found that our loving friends at Google have been cracking down on this kind of stuff. I don't know why or how, but my esoteric searches have stopped turning up hundreds of useless articles and spam sites, and returned to turning up great search results. best regards wiz
