Work From Home Article Marketing For Greater Success
Many online marketing wannabees these days have the desire to make money online, even a little extra income will help in these times of economic uncertainty, but most are afraid of article marketing.
My research has shown that this hesitance comes from feeling they can’t compete with others on any topic. I have also found that most of the time it’s just negative self-talk holding them back. When I talk to them they have a lot to offer, they just have to get past those kind of thoughts and start writing.
So, if this is you my advice would be to get comfortable with article marketing, it’s making people rich. Take it one article at a time and research the topic, look at other articles online and then write it as slowly as you need to in order to make it good.You will get faster that more you write.
But be aware that it’s vital these days to remain as unique as you can. Take your time writing articles, make the articles you do write helpful and you will do fine. How to articles and step by step articles can be worth gold.
Where To Start Article Marketing
I started by working from home, right from my kitchen table. Since then I turned one of the rooms in our home into an office. It’s great, I can sit here and gaze out into my backyard for inspiration, plus it’s so much quieter in my office than sitting at the kitchen table or being in the living room. The point is to just get started.
Article marketing is perfect when you think about it because content is what it’s all about. People can’t get enough information so why not profit from that fact.
Once you have an article written you can publish it in so many place, each with a link or two pointing back to your money making sites. The only thing about publishing the same article over and over is that it’s duplicate content and most may get filtered our of the main search engine index. This means a lot of your work could go un-rewarded. Worry not, there is a fix for this problem and that’s article spinning to make more than one article from your original. Less duplicate content is a good thing.
An couple of examples that work for me are:
1. fishing related articles - I fish using a spinning rod, a bait casting rod and a fly fishing rod so there is a lot to write about. The tips I can come up with are pretty much endless.
2. home gardening related articles – Today gardening is a way to save a bit of money on that grocery bill so people are interested to learn how.
Then to just mention a few others: travelling, playing guitar and of course Internet marketing which is what this particular article is all about. When I write articles I just write about the things that helped me to become more successful at what ever the topic or niche is. Just that simple.
Article Marketing Services Plus Unique Content Equals Success
Millions of people online writing about everything imaginable means there is a lot of content already available so it makes it even more important to be unique when you write so your articles don’t end up filtered out of the main indexes because of duplicate content. A thesaurus is priceless when it comes to finding words to help you make unique articles.
I belong to a few article distribution services where members to take articles I publish to the service and use the content on their own sites. I can hear you saying it now. “Isn’t that going to create a lot more duplicate content?”
Yes it could if not for article spinning to rewrite articles, making them more unique. This way you can write one article, spin it up a bit and make that one article into multiple articles. Even the anchor text you use for the links back to your money sites can be spun so you links look more natural to the search engines. It’s a win-win situation as long as you don’t abuse the article spinning feature to create non readable content. It’s a delicate balance.
What Article Distribution Services To Use
Below I am listing the three services I use. I don’t always use them at the same time because these are paid membership sites, if I want to publish content that is. The memberships are free if you are just going to use content from the service.
Worried about the monthly fee?
Yeah I was a bit worried as well when I first started. I just didn’t have the money to maintain three services, until I had been doing it for a few months. So this is what I did.
Before joining as a paid member I wrote about 10 articles. Then I joined one service as a paid member. I then used their article spinning options to rewrite those articles. Once I had rewritten the first article into multiple articles I published it to the system and over the next few days watched as other members, both free and paid, use my article.
I rewrote all those articles in the first couple of days to that I had the entire month to get them published on as many sites as possible. Note that the service keeps me articles on file under my account, it just doesn’t allow any more to be published on other people’s sites. Those already published remain published of course.
Before the end of the month I cancelled that membership and started a membership on the second site. I did the same exact things as I did on the first site. Then they get offered to all the members on that service. Again, before the end of the month I cancelled and let the articles stay in my account.
Now if I remember correctly I could leave those sites for 90 days and not lose the stored articles, so I just swapped my memberships month to month so that I got more and more articles published.
Once you are making enough money you can keep the memberships active and the sky is the limit.
The three article marketing services I currently use are:
I also use these three services for free content for my own blogs. I am careful to look through each article I plan to use and decide to accept it or reject it. Now I do reject the vast majority because people tend to over use the article spinning capability quite often to the point that their articles don’t read like they were written by a human. That might sound bad that so many get rejected but think about how that can benefit you when you take the time to make your articles readable.
Besides the above three article marketing membership services you can publish your articles to the major article directories.
Article Marketing Directories
Article marketing directories are great places to publish content. You can also get content for your sites from these directories but most of the time I use them to publish my own content.
My favourite directory is EzineArticles.com. I feel they are the king of article directories. The reason they are so valuable is because they don’t accept duplicate content. This means you need to publish your articles there first and wait to be accepted before publishing that article elsewhere. The more articles you publish on EA, which are unique, the faster your get authorized, so it pays to keep unique.
Of course you write articles for you own sites as well. I write for my 20 some sites where I publish my original articles but I also use the services I listed about to get free content, however I check each article closely to be sure it’s good content. I don’t want to use articles that don’t read well because of poor choices for synonyms.
You can do a search on Google for Article Directories and you will find a ton of them. I just publish to the top 5 or so but you can publish to as many as you want. Just remember that duplicate content tends to be filtered out of the main index after so many of the same things. Try to keep as unique as possible and you will do fine.
