“I worked so hard for a week or so to produce 25 articles, I uploaded them to all the article directories I could possible think about, but I still don’t see any sale”

Does it sounds familiar to you?

Well, you are not alone. Most of the newbies to Internet marketing think that they can just write an article about any topic that comes to their mind and they will make money online in a snap. That’s absolutely not the case in the real life. If you want to make money online from your articles you have to write what people want to know, and not what you want to say.

a good friend of mine started Internet marketing 3 years ago. One day he came to me and cried that he spent over 18 days to create 67 articles about one niche that if my memory is not misleading me was the dating niche. He submitted his articles for 2 days writing a special resource box for every chunk of articles to test what’s the best approach to that niche. You’ll be surprised that from all those articles, from all that hours of working he made only two sales for a period of 6 months.

Why do I tell you this story?

Because I want you to understand that the quality is more important than the quantity. You can produce one thousand article for ONE niche but there will still be a chance that you’ll not get a single sale. Well, maybe one but not more

The thing is, you have to make a proper keyword research for your articles. When you’re producing articles about what you have to teach others that great, but it will not make you money. You need to look for search terms people type on search engines and create your article upon those search terms. We all know that if someone who is looking for quality content to learn something, and you lay it all down for him on the table with a good presell, you have a very high chance to make a sale from that person.

Create Your Content With The Best Quality You Can And The Sales Will Follow You Wherever You Go

That’s for sure. When you create a high quality peace of content, let it be an article, a sales page, or even a press release. When you put yourself into it and give your best, your results will be the same. When someone is reading the content you have created he has two options.

Option one : He will ask himself who is the crazy man who wrote this article and close the page. In some cases he will even remember the website name just to make sure not to come back to it. People hate invaluable content, and from the other hand, they will always get back to a reliable and valuable content.

Option two : The reader will be very impressed from your knowledge. He will feel like he knows you for years if you only know how to create that feeling in your writing. He will also be sure that you are an expert in your field and will probably check to see what else you have to offer and who are you from a deeper angle. When you reach to that stage with someone, that’s a 75% to get a sale out of him. Of course the sale can be made in all kinds of ways like from your resource box if it’s an article, an email campaign if you’re promoting an opt-in page, and all kinds of other ways you have in mind.

As you can see, creating unique content is crucial for your online success, and if you want to make money online, be sure to produce good content and your readers will reward you for it.

One of the best ways to create a bunch of articles is to decide when you are going to create them, and how much time you are going to invest in them.

You Need To Create a Plan

Motivation is a really crazy thing which comes and go whenever you are feeling good or bad about yourself and about your environment. That’s why you have to create a plan and decide when you are going to sit on those articles, how much articles you are going to produce, and about what they are going to be.

The best way to create your plan is to take a pen and a paper and write your plan. Be sure that you are not deciding on a time where you are busy in other things. You should invest time in your articles if you want them to be high quality, so be sure that you have all the time to invest in them.

Don’t Decide To Create More Than You Can

The most common reason to article writing failure is that people decide to create 100 articles which of course is only a dream. That dream is getting you frustrated even before you got started. Setting up a small goal as a start is a good idea. Try to create 5-10 articles in a weekend as a start. After you have created those articles try to create a higher goal of 10-20 for the next weekend. You have to understand that when you have a goal in mind, you’ll create your articles a lot faster than you usually do because you will concentrate in your goal and you’ll not be distracted by other things.

Work In a Quiet Environment

This is the craziest thing ever. I see lots of guys writing their article when their children are near them screaming and playing. You don’t seem to understand how important it is to work in a quiet room. You’ll probably be producing x10 content than you are usually do in a place where you don’t have your time and mind to concentrate. I remember the day where I decided that I will never work again near my children. My luck was that my wife was with me in the idea because she always knew that I have to much on my mind, and that’s what was keeping me from making money online.

Don’t Let Anything Distract You While You’re Working

You can’t let anything to distract you from what you’re doing at any given time. If you want to create high quality articles which eventually will produce money for you 24/7 than you have to create them to be in a very high quality. When something distract you it’s very hard to get back to the place you were before it happened. Research show that it takes for about 12 minutes for your mind to get settled again. When you’re working on your articles be sure to turn off you phone, close your email software, and be sure to tell everyone in the house that you are working now, and you will answer only if what they have to say is really important.

Having your own space when you’re working on your articles, or even any other Internet job, is essential for your success. You just can’t make money online when you are always distracted from other things. When I felt that I need my quiet room to work on my projects, I simply talked to my wife and asked her if she wants me to make money by the end of the year or maybe 5 years from now. You probably can guess what was the answer, and from that day, my wife is going out with our children for at least 3-5 hours a day. I have to admit that if she was not a woman who understands my needs, I would hire a 1 room apartment for me to work on my projects. I have to work on my things in a relaxed environment, and a quiet room. If you don’t have the ability to have those, than you should start thinking how you CAN get them. You’ll never make money online if you’ll not have those 2 simple things.

“How Do You Get Motivated To Wtite Articles?”

Well, that’s a very good question!

I have a time managment diary. I have specific days to this or that. You have to manage your time if you want to be efficient. The more you orginize yourself, the more you get to see the profits of your work.

Now, there are all kinds of ways to manage your time, but the best two as far as I know are:

A. Daily

B. Hourly

A = Orginize the work you have to do into the days of the week. You can choose any day you want for any mission you want. You can choose to do the “hard work” of writing and creating content for the first 2 days of the week and than take it easy with the rest of the job. In other cases you can choose to do the dirty job at the weekend when your wife is out of the house with your kids. It all depends on your situation, and of course, the personal situation for time managment.

B = Managing your time upon hours is really great, but it’s sometimes hard to do. Not all of us know how to stop doing something that we do and start another thing. The people who are using their time in hours are really efficient. Because they give any mission a period of time to finish. When they need to stop what they are doing, they stop it immidiately, and go over the next one. Now ask yourself, why it’s so good to work in that way?

Because you are not getting bored!

You are chnaging the things you do and that’s why you stay focused.

Sleep on that one and come back to comment here tommorow with your questions.

Until then,

Spinning PLR articles can get you banned from article directories before you could even say banned. Those articles have been used time over time and only a non professional directory could accept such articles. If you really intent to make money from article marketing than you should drop that idea as fast as you can. Making money from article marketing is only available if you can write unique content for them. Using PLR articles is not allowed on directories that can get you somewhere some day. If you want to rank for your keywords on google or any other search engine than you should create your own content. Even if you think that writing your own content is a hard thing to do than you should think again. When you understand how to create your articles the right way you’ll probably understand that you can do it over and over again without a hassle.

If you intend to make real money online for the long term, be sure to use your own article and your own content for every new text you craete online.

I”ll explain later why this is so important.

So how exactly you can create 100’s of articles in the shortest time possible?

When you decide that you want to create articles for your affiliate offer, you should create a directory on your desktop called “Articles”. Next go to the clickbank marketplace and find a few products you want to promote using article marketing. a good advice is to choose from the first 10 products in each category you decide to promote. Simply find the products who have the highest gravity and write them down on a peace of paper. Next go inside your “Articles” directory and write every product that you want to promote, like:

“Google Assasin”

“Satellite TV”

and so on….

After you have orginized your directory you are set to go. Now you are clear about what you are going to do. The next thing to do is to understand the main aim of the product. If the product is about getting traffic to your website, than create a “Traffic” directory inside the “Traffic Product” directory. Do the same for the other products and you’re set to go.

Creating an article is really easy if you know how to give your article a good headline. The most important thing is to find a few headlines for every article you are about to create. That means that if you have to write about traffic, you would create a few headlines inside a notepad page like this:

“10 Tips On Creating an Endless Stream Of Traffic To Any Website”

“3 Of The Best Sources Of Traffic You Can Find Online”

and so on….

WHen you have this notepad ready simply cut your first headline and paste it into a new notepad page. Now you know what you are going to write about, and that’s the perfect time to get inspired from other people’s posts, and articles.

Start browsing the web for a few articles related to the topic you are going to write about. It’s very easy to find articles related to any topic you can imagine. You can go to google and type ” Your Topic Article”, or , “Your Topic ezinearticles”, and you’ll probably find lot’s of information regarding your subject. Now read a few articles and get inspired. After you read for a few minutes, open your notepad page and start writing your article. You will see that you get a flow of writing and you can write your article faster than ever.

When you are writing your first article, you can always find another headline for a new article. Be sure to stop when you get such a headline, copy and paste it into your main notepad so you’ll be able to write that article in a later time.

That’s all. If you need more help with article creation simply comment here with your question and I’ll be more than happy to answer and help you.

I have always tried to do all the work manually, but to be honest, you don’t really have to. One of the most important things in Internet marketing is to learn how to automate your work and do less and less manual job. There are a few software’s to automate your article submission to the articles directories. Having such a software can save you lots of time, but remember that you don’t need to submit to all the directories that are listed in the software. The best thing to do is to submit to the biggest directories out there like EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleCity, etc. If you’ll spend more time on all the directories there are in the software you’ll probably waste your time, you don’t need more than 10 strong directories to do the job.

I want you to remember that the most importnat thing that you can do to your business is to automate things. Putting your business on autopilot needs to be your goal.

Until the next post
