Does Article Marketing Work? I Just Increased My Income by 66.69% With Three Articles

Often, it’s not easy to measure how much impact article marketing really has.

You’ve probably seen an increase in your traffic, but did it affect the bottom line of your bank account at the end of the month?

Last year, I decided to participate in the Hundred Articles in Hundred Days event that started January 1st, and I’m only a little behind schedule. Out of the articles I’ve written so far, three of them pointed to a specific page in the resource box.

Allow me to go more into details here, so you really will be able to see, just how powerful article marketing is.

A while ago, I purchased the Mini-Site Formula, and I decided to test it. So I followed the instructions, and build a page which I chose to put only eBay ads on.

What really intrigued me about this product was that there were no hype about it. If you could make about $3 per day, you’ve reached your goal. Then you could make a new site that made $3 per day, and after a while, you would make real good money.

A few videos points to the site, but I haven’t really been advertising for it in any way. Even so, this site made me money each month. Not a lot, but some, and for being a site, I almost never write on, I’m pretty satisfied. Last month I received 28 euro ($39), and it’s been around those numbers every month.

The site is made up as a blog, where I have written 19 short posts.

When I submitted three of my articles to Ezine Articles, I pointed to one specific blog post in three of them, and not only did I see a spike in the traffic. I could also measure an increase in the gains, I’ve made so far (the month’s not finished yet).

I went from 28,01 euro last month to 46,69 this month, and since eBay not shows you gain for the last two days, I can make much more than that, before the end of January.

That’s a huge increase of 66.69%.

Or more than $9 per article, if you like.

Would you think it’s worth your time to write articles, if you knew that each of them would bring in at least $9 already the first month?

One of the advantages with articles is that they stay online. The $9 I gained more per article was just this month’s result. I expect that to be much higher next month.

So, I’m pretty happy that I decided to join the Hundred Articles in Hundred Days challenge, because that was the motivation I needed to get started writing a serious amount of articles. After all – one article a day? How hard can that be?

You’ll see, it’s fun, especially when the money starts pouring in.

I just officially did my first Ezine article last night. I am really interested to see what kind of results it gives me.

I’m lucky to write 1 in 100 days, lol. I kid but not really; I seem to have the biggest problem starting an article, not finishing.

Advice?

Well, seems a bit like “writer’s block.” – or at least some kind of writer’s block.

Just think of some ideas, how do you get the inspiration when you write a post? Write it down every time, you get an idea.

Also force yourself to write it.

Congratulations, Brian!

Don’t expect too much result from just one article, though, but keep them coming :)

Dennis, I agree with Mikkel – you seem to let yourself being stopped by a writer’s blog.

So, you have a problem starting an article. Do you have the ideas for the articles?

If so, then why don’t you just start in the middle?

Write down the part of the article that comes the easiest to you, and then fill in the blanks after.

You might start by making a temporary headline, and then write the subheadlines (all can be edited later).

Then write a few keywords under each subheadline, so you’ll know what to write about in each paragraph.

Put it away for a while, and everytime and idea for content pops up, jot it down under the subheadline, where it belongs.

Sooner or later you’ll realize that your brains work all by themselves, and you’ll just have the introduction to your article, while you are driving your car, taking a shower, watching TV, or relaxing in any other way.

Feed your brains with questions, and it will come up with answers sooner than you expect :)

I hope this can help you.

Another great way to get going is to use article templates. They can help you on days when inspiration seems to have left you.
