“How much articles you need to write to get lots of traffic?”

That’s a good question and I want to discuss this matter with you before you fully commit yourself into this marketing strategy. My recommends depend on where you want to submit your articles.

If you realized the the average views of each article in the sub-category has between 50-100, you might decide to use Article Directories. If you decide to submit there, here’s what I recommend you:

Submit one article everyday. Make sure you reach the amount of 100 – 200 articles before you slow down. When you have 100 – 200 articles, article directories will turn into lots of passive traffic streams. It will bring you lots of traffic on a daily basis.

I’m not going to scare you. I’m just being honest and not going to convince you to buy another article marketing products by making up look-nice figures.

When I started article marketing, I used to get bored writing. The thought that irritates me the most everyday morning is “What article should I write today?”

When you start writing articles, you might get excited for a week or two. Immediately, you might feel tired and obliged to write. I’m talking from my experience, so it doesn’t mean you feel the same. Maybe you found your passion in writing and I’ll congratulate you. Because you might be an awesome ghost writer, copywriter or blogger.

Let’s talk about that bored and obliged feeling again…

So, what’s the magic pill that solve all my problems? I’m sorry, by being honest yo you, there’s no solution to that. Article marketing needs passion especially when you are doing by yourself. If you don’t have that passion, don’t worry yet. Here’s some ways you can deal with it.

1. Let your thoughts flow into your fingers and come out from your computer screen. You might feel bored because you are trying to write the right words in a right sentence with a right structure. Put aside the ‘Right’. Start to write like you are talking and sharing the topic you have lots of passion with someone.

Yesterday was a long post. I’m going to make this post Short and Sweet. Today, you’ll be learning how to get website owners to publish your articles.

In fact, you are getting ‘List Owners’ and not website owners to publish your article!

It is not easy to get website owners to publish your articles on their website. Website owners are more interested to get their first time visitors to subscribe to their lists, click on their ads or buy something from them. They don’t want your article to be a distraction that influence their main business activities.

However, it will be great if they could send something valuable to their subscribers to build relationship. Most website owners have a huge list of subscribers because it is an important asset to them. They need to send 1 or 2 emails to them every week. Subscribers usually read their email only if they can get something valuable from them. It could be a tip or some knowledge.

These website owners or list owners might run out of ideas and have nothing to send to their subscribers. If you are a good friend of these list owners, what do you think if they read something good on your blog? What action will they take if you tell them you have a good article to contribute?
