Is Article Marketing Effective? How You Can Earn $100 a Day With Your Content

By Alexa Ross

Does article marketing still work? What is the difference between CONTENT marketing and writing articles? Is blogging just another way of describing article marketing, or are they completely different marketing strategies altogether?

Any of these questions sound familiar? If you are anything like the thousands of people who are struggling to generate traffic, income and sales to your online suite of sites or services, you probably find the IDEA of article marketing very appealing, but aren't 100% sure if it still works, right?

Let me first share a little bit of insight, and maybe some illumination, from my OWN article marketing campaigns with the hope that it leads you to dive in and do it yourself.

1 - I have personally generated more than 4.5 MILLION readers from one article directory alone, all 100% free traffic.

2 - In 2013, there ARE very subtle shifts in the nuances of creating good content for directories that you MUST follow, otherwise you'll find yourself frustrated, and spinning your wheels needlessly.

3 - Done properly, today more than ever before, article marketing is a holistic, end to end strategy that has it's eyes on touching all of the "bases", and can't be looked at as a simple cheap trick for generating traffic to your site, service or offer.

In other words, you NOW need to think about your landing page, your content's quality, length and the community that will congregate (or not) around your articles, otherwise you're going to find it becomes a dead end in a hurry.

Here is STILL the very best way to earn $100 a day writing articles.

Pick a high volume niche. Always, always, always start here. No micro niches or mini sites.

Pick a high paying affiliate offer with an EPC of every $100. This refers to the average earnings, the average affiliate will generate for every 100 visitors referred to the vendor.

Register an inexpensive domain name that you will use to refer your article visitors to visit, when they want to learn more about the content you are covering.

Refer those visitors to a viable, value oriented vendor who can provide what you promise, or propose, or described in your article.

That's really all there is to it. Your only responsibility becomes to worry about the math, rather than the marketing. If you need to get 100 visitors to the vendor per day to earn $100, you simply need to tweak the amount of content you create, or optimize the click through rate in the resource box, or tweak your titles, and so forth, to meet your financial goals.

Longer term, it's always a good idea to replace the vendor with your OWN offer, so that you can rely on your own services to earn an income that is 100% under your control. But, if you need a good place to start, the above process works, and it has worked for thousands of other small entrepreneurs JUST like you for years, and still works wonderfully well today as well!
