What Can a 13-Year-Old Kid Teach Us About Article Marketing?

Yesterday I met a 13-year old boy with a devilish grin who told me he "makes a little money off his classmates sometimes."

"How so?" I asked, intrigued.

"I sell them candy," he said. "Mom buys the Twizzler economy boxes from Cosco and then I mark them up to like 50 cents each."

"Get out!" I said. "Kids actually buy them?"

"Yeah," he said. "And I also smash up Lifesavers into little bits and put them in Ziplock baggies and sell those too. People like the fact that the candy is in a different form. I convinced them that it feels kinda funky in their mouths and they pay for it!"

"Wow," I said. "You were born to be in sales!"

So, article marketers, why am I telling you this story?

Because that kid already knows something that every one of us should be thinking about and putting into practice every single day:

That in order to make something re-marketable, all you have to do is "transform and repackage it" a little bit.

Then, go out and convince people that what you have is pretty neato, and watch them become dazzled - and actually BUY IT for more money than they could get it elsewhere.

Can you transform and repackage your articles, recycle old ideas, and then re-market your valuable brand name, over and over on the internet?

Why of course you can.

One article categorized under one single topic has the potential to take on hundreds of different forms!

Be like that 13-year-old kid with a natural mind for marketing.

Take your article content and smash it up into little tasty bits of info.

Put little piles of info bits into article baggies...

and then sell some newly packaged article candy to your hungry buying prospects.

This is exactly what happens when you start posting articles all over the Internet. The search engines are not the only place to get targeted traffic and sales. There is another proven method of promoting a business.

Writing and posting articles all over the Internet can guarantee you both massive targeted traffic as well as sales. It is the exact same technique that many successful marketers use to drive heaps of traffic to their websites.

Many publishers don't have time to write articles all the time, so they're always on the lookout for quality articles to send to their subscribers. This creates a profitable opportunity for you.

You can benefit from writing and distributing your articles. Some newsletter lists have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. And your article would be read by a large number of people once it is published. This will generate a stampede of visitors to your website.

If you can write a letter to a friend, or an email message, then you can write articles for publication. Writing and submitting articles is truly the most powerful way to get free targeted traffic.

So why not start posting your articles all over the Internet and drive targeted traffic to your website.

When you write the articles, write them like you are having a conversation with someone. Make it easy to read. Use simple, easy-to-understand sentences.

Here's how it works: You write an article regarding your chosen subject. Make it informative. Be sure to put your resource box at the end of the article so you can drive traffic to your website.

Your resource box is a short biography that promotes your business or website. It should include a little information on who you are and a link to your website or email address.

Re-read your article. Make sure it provides information that really is useful to the reader.

Proofread it. Check your article for grammatical and typographical errors. If you are not good at proofreading, or grammar in general, find a qualified person to do it for you.

Submit your article to article directories, article announcement lists and ezines.

If you've provided high quality information, then heaps of traffic are almost certain to start coming in when your article is published.

Article submission is a very powerful way to drive steady streams of traffic to your site, and possibly skyrocket sales. Many of the successful Internet marketers use articles to generate traffic and sales. You too can use this free advertising method to promote your business.

Marketing Case Studies - Articles

I wanted to find out how is it that allot of the big successful affiliates used articles to market there business so I carried out a survey and asked this question.

When writing a unique article of good quality, is it good to submit that single article to only one directory? Or should I submit it to several? in your experience which has given you the best results and what if any advice can you give us about article marketing?

1.Submitting to the top three to five directories is the best move, also look for sites that are relevant to your business and ask them if they would be interested in publishing your articles. This is far better than submitting to a big set that is not relevant to your business. This system has brought me great results.

2. I believe the best plan is to write three articles and submit each to a different directory this will equal three article directories in total. It is better to do originals and submit them to avoid the duplicate content penalty because it can cause you to loose Google ranking. This strategy works best for me.

3. I believe it depends on what are your objectives.

If you want to have your site spread all over the internet to improve your chances of being published you can send your articles to as many e-zines that you want. But if you looking for SEO ranking then just sent to the best directories maybe the best five but your entire article must be original to avoid the duplicate content penalty. So write five good articles and submit them to the top five sites.

Remember to make sure you write your articles so that it could be read by humans.

These were just some of the answers I got from this question that I asked some of the top earners on the internet, Hope this information was useful.

Discover How To Create Wealth Writing Articles

Making money is different than creating wealth. You can make money rather quickly and spend it just as fast. But wealth is accumulated over a longer time frame and is used for retirement purposes or passed on to future generations. For that reason, writing articles are the perfect tool to build and create wealth.

If you write an article today and submit it to 50 large directories, it is almost certain that it will still be in circulation (and working for you) three or four years from now. Your AdWord campaigns, along with other advertising that you use will stop working the second you stop sending them checks. And that is another benefit to writing articles, you can do it for free!

Given that information, you might ask, 'How does that create wealth?' It will create wealth through the power of compounding. If you write just one article today, you will generate traffic to your website or to products that you are recommending. Over a 3 month period, that article may attract 40 page views from one article directory. By submitting it to 50 directories, your article may be seen by 2000 visitors. Not bad for one article.

If you write one article every day, the numbers are staggering. Over that same 3 month period, you could generate about 180,000 page views. When you consider that these articles will continue to draw in viewers for years, the compounding effect can bring you traffic and income for many years to come and create wealth for the long term.

For that reason, do not date your articles. Write them so that they are just as relevant next year as they are today. Of course, this may not be possible in all niches. By writing in a timeless fashion, you can create wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
