How many articles have you written before you made any sales? Was it one or two, or maybe a hundred? Article marketing is certainly an effective way to make money online but it is not an over night deal. However there are ways to make quick money  with article marketing that don’t entail writing a million articles before you see cash flow…

One of the things you have to consider is the amount of competition in your chosen niche. How many other sites are competing with you for the same keywords? If you are in a highly competitive niche, chances are that you will have to submit anywhere from 100 to 200 articles in order to stand out as an authority and get the clicks that pay.

Equally as important is the quality of the article you write. If you just simply regurgitate already written information without putting a fresh twist or perspective on it, than be prepared to settle in for a long ride. However if you write your articles with a little bit of personality and viewpoint, you can gain your readers interest and attention which will grab you more clicks per article.

If you are willing to do niche research and keyword research you can find small segments of credit card ready buyers who are desperately seeking the information your providing who will click and pay. Just make sure that the product your promoting has a high conversion rate.

So if you’re using article marketing as your main source of traffic, just know that you’ll have to write a lot, so get comfortable with the idea. You may want to consider other traffic sources to supplement your efforts and get your content in front of as many people as possible without losing too much time.

Just a quick post to highlight the value of taking action and the simplicity of finding and testing a niche. I recently visited the Warrior Forum and came across a post requesting a critique of a new blogger blog. The blog is focusing on the hip hop  niche. The layout was pretty smooth and I found it to be tastefully done.

However the point here is that the person who put it together is new to marketing online. What they’ve done anyone can do and it just illustrates the possibilities that are available to you. If you are in the process of considering a niche but you’re not sure how it will do, start a blog on blogger and see how the market responds.

Once you get some feedback then you can tweak it until it provides the value your marketplace is looking for. If you find that you are getting a good response and have a way to monetize your blog effectively, you may want to consider taking it to another level and setting up a WordPress blog on your own domain with Blue Host or HostGator.

This will allow you to brand your site without .blogspot.com behind your name and it will make it easier for people to remember your domain name. You can also create a newsletter and start building a list so that you can inform them of new content and special offers related to your chosen niche.

The best part about doing it this way is that it’s free and when you’re ready to move up and take it to another level you can always copy and paste the content from the free blog to your hosted one.

If there is one thing that is lacking terribly in the internet marketing niche… it’s training. What?! It’s true, how often do you get access to training that will help you on a regular basis?

You want to become a super affiliate, but somehow despite the number of affiliate marketing products you buy, the goal of becoming a super affiliate just seems to get further and further away. What is going on?

Here’s the deal and just hang with me for a moment and hopefully what I’m going to share with you will make sense to you.

If you’ve ever participated in an MLM bizzop, if there is one thing there is no shortage of, it’s training. At least once a week depending on the company you are enrolled with, you have access to training that can help you to get a handle on the basic fundamentals you need to conduct your business effectively at the start.

Now I’m not a big MLM’er, been there done that, however for some people it’s a perfect fit. But the point is that there is a training system available. With internet marketing it’s a whole different ballgame. Once you purchase that awesome-super-inter-galactic-you’ll never need another internet marketing-product-again-product… you’re on your own.

If you want to get coaching, make sure you bring a wheel chair, cause it’s gonna cost you and arm and a leg. It’s interesting, because lately there have been a number of $497 “I want to help you quit your job” coaching programs popping up all over the place.

One can only wonder if it’s a genuine concern for the mass amount of struggling affiliates out there or just a way to move all the $97 customers to the $497 level.  But there are some pretty enticing deals going on right now, but how many average people struggling online got that kind of cash laying around right now?

Anyway we’ll save that for another post, the reason I even brought this whole issue up is because I wanted to tell you about a really cool super affiliate coaching program that you can get access to for free. It’s run by Russell Brunson and you can find it at:

You get access to free video training that most people would rather reach into your wallet and charge you for. Is there an ulterior motive? Of course there is, they want you to promote their products, but if you don’t, you still can learn what you need to know anyway.

Every monday they have a video training session and it’s interactive via Ustream. You can ask questions and participate in discussions regarding the latest affiliate tactics and strategies that are being promoted around the web these days.

It’s a pretty good setup, especially if you’re new to affiliate marketing and just want to get pointed in the right direction. So if you get a chance check it out, it just might be the push you need to become a super affiliate.
