If you’re new to using article marketing to promote your business and products, you may be disappointed at the results. While this form of promotion is effective, it needs to be part of an overall plan. Let’s look at five ways you can succeed.

1. Make Article Marketing Part of the Plan for Your Business

Your promotions must be part of an overall plan for your business. The more completely you can integrate the process into your plans, the great your results. You’ll know what you’re measuring.

For example, perhaps you want to increase sales by ten per cent for this quarter. Work out how you can use article marketing to help you to achieve that, and then create article campaigns.

2. Create Campaigns: Measure to Get the Results You Want

Always think in terms of measurable results. Let’s say you’re launching a new product. Create an article marketing campaign. This means: create landing pages with tracking code, so you can see which articles are sending you traffic, and where that traffic is coming from. You should also decide when the campaign will begin and end, and how many articles you’ll create.

3. Become Proficient at Keyword Research

Keywords are important, because they help your articles to get found. Therefore, invest a little time in keyword research, and learn how to use them effectively.

4. Understand Your Market, and What It Wants

Although keyword research is important, it’s not all-important. The information you provide in your articles is key to your success.

You need to understand what your market wants. What kind of information are they looking for? Will the information you provide in your articles lead to conversion — that is, will it help you to make sales?

5. Promote Your Articles, Online and Offline

It may come as a surprise to you to realize that while articles are a form of promotion, you also need to promote those articles to your prospects.

There are many ways in which you can do this. Consider Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, social media marketing, or banner advertising.

You more traffic you get to your articles, the more sales you will make.

What if you had 1000 websites, each making $3 a day?

Yes, that would be $3000 a day, which is over ONE MILLION dollars a year. That would take care of the mortgage, wouldn’t it? If you think this is just a dream, explore the Mini Site Formula. You could be well on the way to your 1000 sites within a day or two.

How much money can you make from Internet marketing?

On a forum recently, a member asked whether it’s possible to make close to a quarter of a million dollars a year from Internet marketing.

I’m a big fan of the Think & Grow Rich books. They’ve stood the test of time, and are based on the principles that have allowed people to accumulate wealth through the ages. I reread Think & Grow Rich regularly, which is where my emphasis on desire and determination comes from in the response I gave.

Here’s some of my response to that forum member:

It’s possible if you want it enough.

You need:

* Desire
* Determination
* Focus

Others have done it; anyone on this forum can do it.

$20K a month is not brain surgery, nor is it putting a man on the moon.

If you believe it’s not possible for YOU, find out why.

Take a pen and paper, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Write: “I cannot, and never will be able to make $20,000 a month from Internet marketing, because__________”

Keep writing, until the timer goes off. The key here is just to keep writing — once you know what your disabling beliefs are, that may be all that’s necessary. Once they’re on paper, you can challenge them — you can’t challenge them if they’re unconscious.

This may be all you need to do to discover that yes, YOU can set a goal of $20K a month… and achieve it.

Re the pen and paper: you can type of course, but turn off your computer monitor. Keep your fingers clicking the keyboard. Your aim is to get past your censor and discover those beliefs which are standing in your way.

This technique works. I use it, and I’ve shown it to others and it’s worked for them too. try it.

Come back in six months and let us know that you’ve had a $20K month…

I commend this simple exercise to you.

The key to the exercise is discovering your unconscious beliefs. By the way, if you have other challenges in your life, such as health, or relationship challenges, try this exercise on them, too. Our beliefs can cripple us.

Once you’ve done the exercise, you may well find that $20 a month is doable for you — if you believe you can, you can.

If you’re a “forum marketer” — that is, you use interaction on forums to promote your products — should you hide behind an avatar, or use your own photograph?

Internet marketing is becoming more much more competitive, no matter what niche you’re in. Therefore, it pays to become more professional, simply because professionalism engenders trust.

Definitely, you should use your own photograph.

It builds credibility, and relationships with your buyers.

Of course, if you’re active in several niches, and those niches have no real connection with each other, you may well use a persona you’ve created, which means you can’t use your own photo.

There’s nothing wrong with using a created persona, if you’re prepared to admit that this is what you’re doing if someone challenges you, and you’re not trying to defraud anyone, or harm anyone. Large companies often use personas in their letters to customers, so it’s an accepted practice.

However, as much as possible, aim to be completely yourself online. You’ll build your online business, as you build your brand and reputation.
