Here's why most of what you have been told by other so-called article
marketing experts and gurus is dead wrong when it comes to writing and
submitting articles online.
1. Traditional article marketing rarely results in any new traffic to
your site.
Links from hundreds or thousands of unimportant article directories and
sites are only going to build an army of low-quality links that do nothing
for your page rank in the search engines. And it certainly will NOT bring
you any more traffic. This is a mistake that tons of people are still making
everyday on the web, and most of them don't even know it. They just assume
what they are doing will eventually work because that's what other experts
are telling them.
2. Traditional article marketing does not establish you as an authority
in your niche.
One of the biggest advantages of article marketing is that as soon as you
publish your first article, you become a published writer in your
marketplace. You will soon be considered an authority in your niche, which
is great - but only if you are published at reputable sources. For example,
my articles can be found on top websites like About.com, SiteProNews.com,
MarketingProfs.com, Microsoft Community Dynamics and many more. Blasting out
articles to a lot of low-quality sites makes you appear to be an amateur and
not an expert, something that traditional article marketers tend to do.
3. Traditional article marketing promotes going for the quick-fix.
There are a lot of marketing "gurus" out there who claim to have the
magical solution for helping you obtain thousands of links back to your site
just by the push of a button. There are others who claim to have a solution
for the duplicate content problem - and promote something called spinning
software, which will produce several variations of an article. The problem
with these "old-school" quick fixes is that article submission software
results in the low-quality link. And spinning software creates articles that
read unnatural. This is Not an effective way to create REAL traffic. It's a
waste of your time and money not to do article marketing the right way.
4. Traditional article marketing doesn't result in dollars earned.
Traditional article marketing is all about producing content for the sake
of quantity and not quality. Mediocrity is not the way to attract new
business. Article marketing done right will grow into a powerful viral
machine that will continuously bring you fresh new targeted traffic and
qualified leads day after day. Especially, once you learn what your market
wants to learn. Writing quality articles to meet those needs is like money
in the bank!
5. Traditional article marketing doesn't give you a system for maximizing
your article marketing efforts!
You spent time writing the article. Even if you used my article templates
at http://www.StartWritingArticlesFaster.com to write your articles in 30
minutes That's 30 minutes that you could have been doing something else.
So why not get the most use from your articles. Getting your articles
published on top websites will give you the ability to
- Mix your social media efforts with your article marketing efforts. You
can Tweet about your new article placement. You can link to the article
placement on Facebook and LinkedIn. You can answer people's questions on
forums and send prospects to your article for even more information.
- Get in front of your prospects face again. Send the high authority
site's link with your article to your list. That's how Kevin Berchelmann
received a new, mid 5-figure client!
- Enhance your credibility on your blog. You can link to your article
placements from your blog and show that you are the expert. Show how you're
different by getting published on a top website or online publications and
not just sites like EzineArticles.com where everyone can get published as
long as you follow the editorial guidelines.
- You can mention these placements in an auto-responder series. You can
take the main take away lessons from your articles and turn it into an
e-course. And than at the end of the day's message, link to your articles so
people can get even more information from you.
- Turn your articles into videos. And, within these videos show how
you're published on top websites as this will build instant credibility.
