Taking Article Marketing to the Next Level

May 6th, 2008 | By jen | Category: Article Marketing, Latest News

Admittedly, I’m not a heavy article marketer. I’ve read “Bum Marketing” and heard time and time again…articles, articles, articles! I’ve added a few articles across the ‘net but in general, I would say my article marketing tactics are weak, at best. It’s boring, I can write, but ugh, it takes so much time and I have precious little as it is, it’s a pain to submit them to directories…

On the weekend, I was browsing one of my favorite forums and ran across a great thread titled something like “13 Things I’ve Learned After Submitting 1500 Articles.” Posted by Tim Gorman over at the Warrior Forum, Tim went on to share a lot more than 13 things he’d learned from posting 1500 articles at EzineArticles.com. The thread was a great read, but unfortunately, for reasons unknown, was completely deleted by the powers that be over at Warrior Forum.

Now here’s the kicker: Tim is Major Tim in the US Army, working 12 hour days before he comes home and puts in a few hours on his sites and article marketing. And he’s making six figures a year from his internet ventures alone.

This guy who’s out there saving our country and training our soldiers can do 1500 articles but I can’t pull together a measly 10? Ouch.

Needless to say, I’m humbled.

And am upping my article marketing campaign pronto. After doing some Googling, I found Tim’s method for marketing his articles. It’s intensive and at first glance, exhausts me already. But even if I take just a small piece of it, I’ll be doing better than before.

To read Tim’s 30 Day Article Marketing Plan, you can download his free report from NicheBot. It’s well worth the read, even if you think his plan is overkill. What’s most interesting is how he submits certain articles to EzineArticles.com only, while doing a blast to 100s of directories with other articles.

I may not be dropping 1500 articles on the WWW any time soon, but between my ability to write one or two a day, hiring a ghostwriter to do more and (maybe) hiring someone to completely rework PLR content I have, I’ve got a plan. In the meantime, I’ve hit my initial 10 article limit with EzineArticles and already been boosted to Platinum Author! Woot!

What’s your article marketing plan?
