I knew writing articles to get free advertising online was not going to be easy



Driving free targeted visitors to your site using the article marketing technique can be very effective and lucrative. Thousands of savvy marketers are making huge incomes without spending a penny for their advertising. Many of them master the technique by simply composing relevant articles and extrapolating and troubleshooting results accordingly.

However, this technique can be elusive and tricky if it’s not done correctly. I have been trying to find strategies used on several affiliates’ programs but I am yet to conclusively get a grip of the technique. Apparently, part of the problem is not so much marketing articles but having them depict proper keywords where search engine can index them appropriately.

On the outset I knew writing articles to get promotion online was not going to be easy, and reaching for top listings in each major search engine is of course another matter. I never strive to be listed at the top; I want to be listed somewhere where it can be productive. There is a consolation that could bring a light at the end of the tunnel - provided the light is not coming from a high speed runaway train - and that’s persistence. And although I am new at this, I will continue this approach until I find a successful technique or I learn a proper way to make it work from someone else.

In order to get someone to help me I would have to shell out my scarce resources while defeating my original approach of writing articles to generate free advertising online. If what I am doing does not work, then I may have to borrow some cash to make it work. That does not appeal to me at this very moment because I cannot afford it. Meanwhile I will continue to write articles and stories and wait to see how what kind of results I get.

Have you gone nuts trying to write articles yet?

To prove my dog that I am a normal and sane person and not a lunatic with split personality I proceeded to ask him the following question: Have I gone nuts trying to write articles yet?

I could not believe his answer until somebody else confirmed the whole thing for me. As it turned out my dog did not know what I was talking about nor did he know what the word nuts meant. He thought nuts were something to eat, I just left it with that and went away.

All kidding aside, writing articles can be a drag at times. Get into it as a fun thing to do, not as a job that must be done. Make time in a way that you can write effectively. Write about things you like to write about, something you know or maybe you are an expert at it. I can write about different subjects but not that many people can do that. Affinity is a great word, so write about subjects that you feel some affinity with. There are some article writing software programs that might help you get into the habit of writing. Use them; they can help you break the ice of reading and writing.

So how can you get yourself up to write articles, stories, poems or even press releases? I say to you do it very carefully; here is what I do, and has worked for me very effectively:
  • Avoid writing when you are tired, frustrated or angry.
  • Identify the time of the day or night when you think you are the most creative, that can take a while but it can help you tremendously. Try writing a few things at a time to confirm that indeed your creativity is flowing easily. Expand your writing time and article or story length as you go. Once you feel comfortable with the schedule repeat it as often as you can and develop a habit of doing so. I know many people who have several creative writing schedules. 
  • Treasure and guard your creativity writing time. Your energy flows much easier and faster when you don’t have to fight time schedules, stress or even the biggest enemy of them all, noise. 
  • Try avoiding simple distractions. We live in a world loaded with electronics. And many of us love electronics, but they can be a huge distraction, electronic media comes disguised as a cell phone, radio, TV, and iPods. 
  • Let family and friends know that you are very busy at certain times of the day or night so they can refrain from calling, unless of course there is an emergency. 
  • Avoid delivery people like FedEx, gas or electrical meter readers, and the good old friendly USPS unless they are carrying your checks. They are always making a nuisance of themselves; they love to talk and disrupt that precious and quiet writing time. Leave notes on your door with instructions on what to do with your mail or package. 
  • Keep reminders of subjects you thought about during the day. They can be very helpful when you start to put your article ideas together. 
  • Finally, write, write and write again. Its fun and you can make some money out of it, so enjoy.
In closing please do not go nuts trying to write articles yet - its not worth it -. Love to hear from LinkReferrals’ writers out there; I have seen many prolific writers in our community and I am sure they can teach us a thing or two.
