What would you do?

What would you do if you had just written an article about marketing of apx. 1,000 words, and you're very satisfied with the article?

Would you:

• Add it to your blog?
• Publish it as a guest post on another blog?
• Add it to an article directory?
• Or something completely different?

What do you think would give you the best response (traffic, either direct from a link to your blog or from search engines)?

Thanks.

 

I would base it on how and where you generate your revenue, as well as what will produce the most.

 

I think I would consider doing all of the options if it were me.

 

The answer is it depends on your goals. If your site doesn't have much authority then link building should probably be the priority.

 

Sell the article. DON'T SELL IT WITH UNLIMITED RIGHTS. This keeps them coming back once the rights expire. At TRUE freelance rates, (not the chinsey crap that the hindu-huts claim are fair like $1 for a 300 word crappy article....) 1,000 words can score you 250 at 25 cents a word. Intermediate freelancers shouldn't have a problem securing 25 cents a word. Cite your bylines. Cite other experience. Cite school if you had it. Make yourself the authority and sell ONLY at your price.

Once you get a buyer, target the niche they're in and sell the article around to eeeeeverybody else (remember how I said 'DO NOT SELL WITH UNLIMITED RIGHTS? This is why. You can sell the same article a billion times if you can, SO LONG AS YOU DON'T GIVE ANYONE EXCLUSIVITY RIGHTS.

 

Well, for me, I had one quality article that I really liked, so I used it to get my score up at hubpages, so that my links there become dofollow

 

The answer depends on my goals. If my site is quite new and doesn't have a PR/authority, then I'd go for a high authority directory like EZA.

 

I would submit it to ezine - then after its published I would write a simple post about it on my personal blog.

 

I would post it to ezine articles with a link in your bio. Then put a story on your blog and use social poster to advise other sites of your posts.

I will submit it into ezine and than submit to differen socail bookmarking sites

 

I would try to make atleast two to three articles out of which with little changes. Post the best one on my own website, another on ezine or articlesbase.com and third one as hub page.

 

One other idea to consider is to split the article up into 2 sections, post the first part on ezine articles with a link to the 2nd part that you post on your blog. If people like the first part then they will definitely want to read the 2nd part at your blog, just an idea

 

Submit your article in your blog & promote that post...

 

I would take that 1000 word article and make 3-4 more articles out of it.. Plus turn my articles into videos..

 

That really is unrealistic to think someone will pay $250 for a single article...

how many of you earn $250+ for a single article?

with the article masses these days, i bet not many at all.....

 

I would probably post it to Ezine or spin it a bit on my own and offer it as a guest post on a high PR blog.

 

What did you got hit in the head OP ? Monetize on it yourself , no one will pay you better then you pay yourself .

 

First off I would post it to my blog and then to ezine articles. Next thing i would do is make it in to an ebook(7-14 pages) for ebook syndication.

 

How would you turn your articles into videos? By using a service like Article Video Robot?

 

I also submit it in to ezine to get more traffic
