Article Marketing - Why Your Articles Will Never Make You One Red Cent

If you got into the Article Marketing business thinking that you would be paid for your articles then you are sadly mistaken. Unless you are running an article writing service or writing freelance your articles themselves will not earn you one red cent. This is a reality of this type of marketing campaign that you need to accept from day one.

What will earn you an income that you can be proud of is the internet business that you are promoting using article marketing as your advertising medium. When used to grow an internet business your articles become priceless.

Use your articles to create traffic to your website and once there convert your visitors into subscribers with a free product. All that you need to do is offer a desired product in exchange for the name and email address of your visitor. Once they have provided the required information they have then subscribed to your list, and we all know (or should know) that the real money in any internet marketing business is in the list. The process may be called article marketing, but in essence what we are really doing is building our list in order to develop a relationship with our visitors.

It is one thing to get a visitor to become a subscriber to your list, keeping them subscribed is the key. Do not simply bombard your subscribers with advertisement after advertisement. Continue to provide them with useful information. The nitty gritty of it is this. Your subscribers do not have to prove their worth to you, you must prove your continuing worth to them.

Take the time to develop a better relationship with your subscribers by offering them information without huge amounts of advertising. Doing this will create even more trust than you have previously established. If you take this small piece of advice I believe that you will find your list to be much more responsive.

The articles you write will not in themselves make you any money. Using the articles to generate highly qualified and responsive leads is the secret to Article Marketing.
