This is the most asked question by many newcomers to affiliate marketing or by those who have been around the block for a while without seeing any tangible results. By tangible results here I mean of course cash.
But do not worry, I have been where you are right now. I tried article marketing before without any success. I have done pay-per-click or PPC marketing and lost a lot of money doing so. I tried Facebook marketing, Twitter and other systems that many people were making great income from. I did not. It went to a point, where I wanted to quit.
I have spent so much money on buying different courses written by super affiliate gurus, I started to look at myself. What is wrong with me? Why all these people are making it, but I am only spending my money.
After couple days of feeling very discouraged, I decided to start over. Yes I gave this last chance to myself, because I had a lots of bills to pay and family to feed.
The method I have chosen was nothing else but writing articles and submitting it to many directories and article sites. I spent four hours a day writing. At the beginning I was able to compose 4 articles per day, but after the first twenty, my writing speed started to improve big time.
Today I can write an article of 400 plus words in about 10 minutes. So in one hour I do about six. When I am done with writing, I submit all of them to many article directories for an instant high PR back links and traffic to my affiliate landing pages.
After two weeks period of trying this method I discovered a great surprise. I decided to check my article stats and I got a lot of views with around 30% of the reader visiting my site.
I was really happy and logged in to my affiliate account to see some sales. Boy I have to tell you that I was never as proud of myself as that day. And you can do this as well. It just takes some dedication and effort.
So now I can easily answer your question – Does article marketing work to make affiliate sales? And the answer is yes. All you have to do is to write and submit your articles. And trust me, you need to have at least 50 articles written to see the magic that I have experienced myself.
