Article Marketing: Keeping Your Eye On The Prize
Many new article marketers start off writing articles then quickly peter out. They go into it with high hopes and big expectations only to be let down in the end. What went wrong? Usually it is unreasonable expectations that get the best of them.
If you expect article marketing to produce immediate results then you are in for a shock. There is a very good chance that you won’t see any results for several weeks, maybe even months. An article a week will yield you only 52 articles at the end of a year. That’s just a start for some article marketers. It could be a year or two before you see any real measurable results at that rate. It is better, if you can, to write and submit one article per day to at least one article directory. Then, at the end of that year you’ll have 365 articles in distribution. That’s 7 times the previous number, but the results could be far more than 7 times the return. Think exponentially.
Article marketing is not about getting published in the article directory. It’s about more than one website. It’s about multiple publications over time.
Every time a new e-zine publisher or webmaster picks up your article to publish on their site you are tapping into a whole new well of traffic and building additional streams of link popularity. That’s why the more articles you can produce the better. But you also need to ensure that your articles have a certain level of quality. Articles that lack quality won’t get published beyond the article directory and that won’t help you. You are aiming for publishers to pick up your articles and deliver you fresh streams of traffic.
Imagine this: One article in one directory every day for a year. Each article is picked up by one publisher per week. At the end of a year you will have thousands of backlinks and new sources of traffic for your website. Thousands! Tens of thousands, even. That certainly sounds better than 52, doesn’t it?
Well, you don’t have to take my word for it. When it comes to article marketing, doing it is so much more rewarding than talking about. So why not go for the prize? Start now.
