It’s funny how all the best laid plans seem to get changed, almost as soon as they are made! I’ve created a few articles but have held back from publishing them until I get a few more things in place. I’ve decided to create articles in the same niche to submit them to different article directories to see which ones are the most effective. They will all be pointing to the same webpage, to test the effects of article marketing.
One of the reasons I’ve been kicked off course slightly (ok I was sidetracked!) was with the thought about using plr articles. I began wondering if, when I was writing so many articles, whether I could monetize them in another way, other than just using them for traffic generation. Therefore, I am going to be packaging up a few of the articles I’ve already written and putting them into plr packages to sell, rather than use them to submit to article directories.
I’m just wondering how many income streams I can create during 2010 and if it’s only taking me a day or 2 to create new ones for my business then there could be quite a few!
New article directories are appearing every day and different people have different preferences to which article directory is their favourite, so I’ll be listing a list of all the article directories I could find, as well as my top 5.
As with everything online, things are taking longer than I would like and I’m sure outsourcing many of these steps would both save me time and money in the long run, however, until I have my own article marketing strategy that works, I’ll be doing things myself. Perhaps it’s the wrong call but I won’t know until I actually put it into practise and then test both.
Many of the article sections in any article directory have huge competition so how does a newbie to article marketing make a splash? Does keyword research play a part? Does marketing the article really matter?
I’m almost ready to start submitting articles, as well as releasing my special report – which now is a free plr article package that I’ll be giving away. In my research into plr articles, I’ve found there is a huge difference between those which are sold with resell rights (you can then sell the plr articles to others) and those with limited distribution, which are obviously more expensive.
As well as taking part in this article marketing challenge, I’m still running my internet home business and building different income streams, therefore I’m sure my results will be different from those who solely focus on article marketing for a month. However, if you are like me and wearing many hats and juggling home, business and motherhood then there is hope!
