6 Figure Article Marketing - Is It Possible? (And The 1 "Profit" Killer You MUST Avoid)
6 figure article marketing - is it possible to build a hyper profitable online business using NOTHING but organic content? Why do so many people struggle to make money with article marketing, while others, seem to make a fortune in the same niche? And what should I AVOID if I want to become a successful online, but DON'T have a big budget to pay for traffic? The truth is, like every other online marketing strategy that offers GREAT promise, article marketing is NOT as simple, and straightforward as many of the "gurus" want you to believe.
As a matter of fact, while I happen to LOVE using articles to build my own business, there are a few very simple things you MUST do if you want to have success.
Let's take a look at a few of the questions above,and some other common ones, immediately below.
Is it possible to build a 6 figure business using nothing but article submission and syndication? Absolutely it is, without any question.
But article marketing is just a "tactic", or a technique to get traffic.
what you DO with that traffic is the key to your income...
which has very little, surprisingly, to do with the articles that brought them to your site, service or offer.
An analogy? You can make a fortune with PPC marketing as well.
But it's not the PPC ads that are going to make you "rich".
It's the conversion techniques and marketing methods you use once you've bought the traffic that determine whether those people will buy things from you, or go away forever.
The BEST way to earn money with any traffic technique is through RELATIONSHIP marketing...
period.
That means, your articles should be used as a means to an end.
You are leveraging this traffic, in an ideal scenario, to build a list.
And then you are going to use this list, to create a community of people who like, trust and respect you...
and who will of course, buy the stuff you recommend thereafter, predicated on the credibility you've earned.
But you DON'T earn that through the "initial" article...
And this is where so many folks get it wrong.
You earn that over time, and through a series of strategic messages that build rapport.
Sure you can make sales JUST by writing articles and selling affiliate products, or driving traffic to your blog, or review sites, etc.
But it's NOT going to be nearly as much as you believe.
The ONLY real way to earn a full time, fantastic living from content marketing is thinking of it as a simple cog in the wheel.
It's how you build your list, or create your community, or introduce yourself to those that have raised their metaphorical hands in your niche, marketplace or industry...
:-) The truth? I've written over 5000 articles that have generated many millions of readers, and to this very day, my MOST successful businesses are those that are built on the notion of CONTENT and COMMUNITY, rather than content and conversion.
(which is what many article marketing "gurus" are teaching...
and unfortunately, it doesn't really work anymore...
especially today!)
