I tried article marketing for a mth and had constant earnings. I'm thinking of scaling big, but don't know how. So should I keep looking for keywords from my niche, or start another new niche? So when should I start a new niche? Thks
Look at it this way. That project's earning you some steady income. Leave it, and move onto something else... you can always go back and improve where needs be as time progresses.
Scale it - means - "this is good, you should do it more and better". So what you should do is to start another niches and always look for better ways to keyword-optimize them.
You can build an opt-in list. If these people are buying through you easily, then having a list will help you make more money from these same people as long as you are good at building relationship and trust. This is one of the best ways to scale up your profit.
I' would personally recommend dominating it... If you can rank on google with one website then 10 is all the easier because now you know how to do it .... If all one sees is your websites on the google page your conversion rate will go through the roof... And ohh diversity is key so once you've done all you can move on...
1. Keep earning with what you can do - improve on the process. Make the most of your contacts. 2. Expand: tackle other niches. Slow and sure is faster and more successful than all at once!
Stop listening to others about targeting other niche. If you are great with the niche you are in right now, you should scale that. I'm making 6-figure income in the same old niche without ever jumping to other niches that I have no clue about.
How many articles are you writing and how many directories do yo submit to? Are you just doing article marketing?
You SHOULD scale the campaign. This is what we do in PPC. Once you find something profitable, replicate it & pump as much traffic to it as possible. However, while you are scaling, look to become an expert in something else as well. Personally, I never focus ALL of my attention on one thing, even if it does bring in good money. I certainly do not neglect it, and I do maintain it and/or look to improve upon it, but there is ALWAYS something else to be mastered. If you plan on being in this industry for as long as possible, you must make sure to develop a business that is far-reaching and spread out all over the interwebs.
Scale it as big as possible... Where's the traffic to the articles coming from? Just from within the directory or are they ranking for specific keywords in search engines? If you have articles ranking for specific keywords on Google, for example, then start doing pay-per-click using those same keywords. This is a big "secret" that people rarely think of or consider. Just because you're placed highly in the organic rankings doesn't mean the searchers aren't clicking paid links... After getting first place for some keywords, I started an Adwords campaign using the same keywords (broad, phrase and exact match with each keyword as their own ad group) and because I already knew they were converting through organic traffic, it literally doubled sales... seemingly overnight... You can apply the same concept with PPV traffic and PPC traffic using other networks (Bing, Yahoo, etc) to completely dominate specific keywords... then find more keywords and repeat the process. Easy stuff... If you're already making cash from a niche, scale it up and milk it for everything you can... then move on if you want to... Hope that helped.
This is a good point, but using the same keywords for PPC campaigns does not always prove profitable, especially if the keywords are competitive and expensive relative to your product's commission. Let's just say, for instance, that your product is converting at 1 in 100 through article traffic. Your product pays 33 dollars. Now, your PPC traffic will obviously be more targeted, but let's say that you're in a competitive niche and your clicks are about .50 cents. Taking into consideration that you are using a lander, and let's say that you get about a 50% CTR rate on that lander, it is going to be very hard to be profitable. Let's say that you can convert this product at 1 in 50 clicks, but you are only getting 50% of the people to click through to your offer. This means that you're going to need 100 clicks to convert which, at .50 cents a piece leaves you in the negative. Now, there are so many factors that go into your CPC, CTR and conversions, so don't hold me to this exactly. It was simply to illustrate that taking your keywords that convert with article traffic, or any other kind of traffic for that matter, and throwing them into a campaign will not always be profitable. It obviously can be done, and is done quite often, but it's far more difficult than it initially appears to be. Well done to the above poster for his success.
