Internet Marketing Expert

I just visited a popular Internet Marketer’s forum and I came across a thread started by a 24 year old guy, claiming that he made a bunch of money $885 in a week with article marketing.

Here is what he did:

* Wrote 10 articles each day and submitted to Ezinearticles.com

* At the end of the month, he had 200 articles in his account.

* The traffic generated from his articles made him $885.

* He pointed the links directly to his own website, and redirected the page to the product sales page.

Note that he didn’t build a list. He just focused on writing articles and drove all that traffic to an offer that converts.

The members on the site started encouraging him to start building a list, which he eventually did. After a few weeks, he crossed the $2,000 a month mark. Sales tapered off a little when he stopped submitting articles.

He tackled 3 niches at one time. One niche he was targeting was Run Car on Water. That niche eventually died out as gas prices started to drop. He still had 2 niches, which he didn’t reveal. But one niche continued to convert well for him. So he focused his efforts on that single niche.

Just a little example to show you what article marketing can do. If you know how to monetize the traffic, there is a ton of money to be made from articles.

When he started making money, he outsourced his article writing. You can do the same using this article distribution service, but make sure you know how to convert the traffic into sales. If you don’t, all that traffic coming to your site is just going to be wasted.

From the thread, I also learned that many article marketers gave up after just 10 or 20 articles. They wrote just 1 article per day, and they think it’s an accomplishment. That’s not so. The aggressive marketers write and submit at least 10 articles per day. So stick with article marketing a little before you give up.
