Hi Josh,
Article Marketing was one strategy that I struggled with as far as staying consistent. I think mostly because I set my expectations too high on the number of articles I should be writing per week. I focused on quantity over quality and quickly became overwhelmed.
Now do just the opposite and not only am I more consistent with my article writing but my reader base has been steadily increasing!
Have a great day!

Hi Grace,
I can see that happening getting burned out from writing a lot of articles. Even if someone stays consistent with one value added article once a week. They can still gain the benefits!
Have an awesome day!
Hi Josh,
Great article writing pointers here.
Writing articles is one of the better ways to establish yourself as an authority, for free. Actually it’ll only cost you time and energy. The more creative and valuable your articles the more likely you’ll get backlinks and develop a following.
I agree with Grace in that quality trumps quantity. I got caught up in the numbers game early on and it was overwhelming. Think “Impression” before anything else.
Thanks for sharing your insight.

Hi Josh,
Consistency is really important with article marketing. I slowed down my article writing. However when I was doing it, I was consistent about it.
The beautiful part is articles I wrote some time ago are still getting great click thru rates.
Have an awesome day,

Josh,
One more tip that I’d like to add to help readers with their articles (since I’ve written almost 800), is to come up with numbered lists. People just can’t get enough of them. When you turn your article into “10 things that you never learned in business school,” or whatever, people feel as if they are getting something of value that they can take along with them.
Numbered lists are a great place to start if you are stuck for a topic.

Lol Josh, You made Me feel like You was talking to Me… I gotta admit, I don’t write posts as consistent as I should, because I am a paid marketing fanatic, so Am a bit spoiled,but You are so right. Consistency is so key, especially when You are building on a budget.
Nice one again Man,

Hi Jonathan,
As long as you are doing something that is allowing you to move your business forward. Paid marketing is very powerful!
Have a great day!
Hey Josh,
Once again you nailed it! Great points! Consistency is key here! Like you say it doesn’t matter if you post daily or couple of times a week. You need to be consistent, because your readers expect that from you.
Thanks for sharing your great insights! Have an awesome week!

thanks for a very sane article Josh. I agree about the quality being important and the consistency of posting, rather than trying to post more often than one can manage. If you constantly fall short of an unrealistic target, it becomes frustrating and quality will probably suffer too.

When you are delivering valuable content you will attract readers. Along with everything that I mentioned in the post.

Hey Josh, great Job again…
You really mastered this strategy, I think you have a hundred different ways to write about one subject and thats so great!
Now “You can increase credibility” thats what I like and what I mostly support in article writing. Simply said, people do take us more serious when we bring constant value on the table.
Hi Milena,
That is the key about blogging. It allows you to increase your credibility in the web 2.0 world.
Have a great evening!
Josh thanks for being such a proponent of article marketing. If the key is to drive traffic to your website why not use some of the established services that are already getting traffic and divert some of that your way with creative content and the proper keywords. Makes all kind of sense to me.

It’s a simple formula to apply.

Hey Josh,
Great post my friend.
I’ve learnt that consistency also comes from having a system. With a system in place for your article writing, things get much easier over time, and you subconsciously are in tune with that system; it thus becomes effortless when you get to writing.
A shortcut system I’ve learnt from a course I took to narrow down and make your writing easier is:
1. determine who you are writing your article for
2. what is their problem that you are solving
3. how are you solving that problem
Hope that adds to the discussion.
Have a great day my friend.

You pretty well summed up the high points of posting articles articles on your blog. The other key thing is with the right keywords, it allows your content to be quickly picked up by the search engines.
Great post

Great points Josh. I have always favored article marketing because is like creating little sales agents that can work for one forever more.

Hey Josh,
Great point about consistency. I really like how you mentioned whether it be daily, weekly, or whatever, do it consistently.
I’ve had to choose to keep my posting to 3 times a week while I develop other skills, but when I tested out posting daily, it really did make a difference with my Alexa rank.
Consistency is key. Great post!
Susanna
.-= Susanna Hess´s last blog ..The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Of Network Marketing =-.
Hi Susanna,
When you post daily it will make a huge difference in your Alexa ranking. But as long as the postings are staying consistent and not just posting one on Monday and then post again two weeks later on Wednesday. It takes a lot longer to develop loyal readers that way.
Have a great day!
Hey Josh,
Article marketing is one of my favorite strategies for the reasons that you pointed out. You get quality back-links and long term traffic especially if you use a spinner and/or submitter.
The key as with anything is staying consistent. I love your blog. You make ht complex so simple!
.-= Fontella Williams´s last blog ..Are You Still Struggling To Find Content For Your Blog? =-.
Hi Fontella,
Thanks for bringing that up…Quality backlinks. Every blogger deserves good backlinks.

Hey Josh,
I hope this puts another nail in the coffin of the “Article Marketing is DEAD” movement
Writing quality articles will always be a great way to establish your own credibility. And the key point again is being consistent, whether you do it once a week or everyday.

Josh,
It has been a few days being wrapped up in a few things but I can
see your still busting out great content as always.
These are all great points you make and it really gets exposure for
the person that is doing the writing.
I noticed that writing at least three articles a week and exposes my
content in the right places really paid off.
Thanks for the value my friend

It’s all about keeping a consistent schedule and building a really great habit of writing. Just think, what if you miss a post? You lose an opportunity to build all of these things – who knows, maybe that was your day that your post goes all over the place.
Hi Murlu,
When you stay consistent you beat the odds against you. Not only do you beat the odds. You smoke the odds!

Article writing is one of my main marketing methods, but it is so easy to
get distracted by life and suddenly realised that it is a few days since one
was written. Thank you for reminding me of this.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! It is a discipline when it comes to writing an article. That is why if you don’t post anything for a while it is hard too.

Josh,
I watched a couple videos on video marketing–great job.
I agree with a few of your points on article marketing, but with the ease it is to create videos, Im not sure of the future of article marketing.
Until then, http://AmericasNewsNow.com allows anyone to register and then post their article on our website. Whether its a personal story, news, or your latest business venture, we’d love to gear about it..
Thanks for the videos and keep up the great job!
