Who else wants to learn how to get an amazing avalanche of free traffic from your article marketing efforts? I'm going to guess that if you're reading this right now, the chances are that you probably have your hand up high, right?
Now, before we continue, I want to identify EXACTLY who this article is written for, so you can sort of tell whether or not it's worth reading for your particular needs: I'm trying to talk to active and assertive article marketers who are enthusiastic about making money online, are willing to work hard to do it, but are frustrated by their results thus far. (and equally frustrated at some of the mediocre minded marketing advice that you're usually getting when it comes to creating content that converts) So, if that sounds like you - I invite you to take a closer look below. Read on!
Okay...first of all, where is the 10,000 clicks number coming from? Is that just an example you're using to get attention?
No, not at all. I was looking over some of the metrics of our articles earlier today as we're defining which markets are worth continuing to pursue...and which ones to scale back. Looking over one set of submissions from January, over about a 10 day period of time, (but all done in one day) we got about 50,000 + views, and...give or take, about 10,000 clicks on our resource box for that particular affiliate offer. While I didn't write these particular articles myself ( so the results weren't because of my transcendent good looks or unusual personal charm and contagious charisma) we spent less than one day full day churning them out.
Wow....how much would it have cost to BUY those clicks on a pay per click campaign?
Honestly? Probably a dollar a click.....or more for that particular affiliate offer. Essentially, while it's always tough to compare apples to oranges, it's a pretty fair assessment to say that those articles, done in the span of ONE day, effectively emulated a 5 figure ad spend had we run PPC ads instead for the same traffic.
What is the Secret of Getting All Those Views? What about all of those Clicks? Did you put Magnets in the Resource Box?
Article marketing, properly implemented is super easy to understand. Here is the formula that ANYONE can emulate to generate endless buckets of backsides to your site, service or offer...especially if you are a "mercenary" affiliate marketing type like myself:
- Pick Good Markets:
This is SO important, and the biggest reason why lots of people give up on article marketing, ESPECIALLY if you're an affiliate marketer and not selling your own unique stuff. You've got to go where the traffic is. For example, this article I'm writing right now will NOT be read by a ton of people, even though I think it's pretty helpful.
Why?
The "article marketing" niche is NOT a high eyeball category. If a few hundred people see this, I'll be happy.
But....I wouldn't leave my livelihood in the hands of this article, instead I make my living in other niches and this one is my "passion". (helping other people online) Key takeway? Change your niches. Try all sorts of different markets - dating, divorce, diet, etc. This is where the "ocean" is, and where you need to fish if you're hungry too.
- Write Killer Titles
This is SO important that it can't be overstated. Make a HUGE promise, and titillate your audience with a big payoff when they open up. I just did a little quick "research" in the EzineArticles "article marketing niche" top performers over the last 60 days or so, and the ONE article I found that had monster numbers, was a huge promise, huge curiosity, "how to" that was really basic in it's "content", but had a KILLER title that's probably paid off huge for the marketer who created it.
- Test, Tweak and Fiddle with Your Resource Box.....OFTEN!
The 10,000 clicks that those article got? Honestly? I'm not even happy with that. Why? I constantly test, rotate, tweak, refine, re calibrate and reconstitute my resource boxes. To the point where my mental health counselor is worried about me. But you know what? It works! Because once you hit one combination of words that resonates with your audience, you can quickly and easily scale the whole thing up and out....getting MASSIVE returns in minimal time.
Okay, there you have it! Simple, easily emulative and infinitely profitable article marketing strategy that YOU can rinse and repeat in your own business with equal success. Good luck, and I hope, if you've been frustrated with your efforts thus far, this helps you achieve your online article marketing goals super quick!
