Free Article Marketing – Sucking Money Out of Thin Air!
To say there was a lot of fuss about free article marketing would be a bit of an understatement. Depending on who you’re listening too it’s either the solution to all your problems or a complete waste of time. So can we dig through the hype and find out the truth?
Of course we can – that’s what we’re here for! Dig, dig, dig.
The truth is that article marketing can bring you large handfuls of the green folding stuff that’ll put a smile on yours and your bank manager’s face (although I’m not sure bank managers deserve to be smiling but that’s another story).
The truth is that article marketing will get some people nowhere except a one way trip down disillusioned alley.
Wait. Hold up there. I’ve just given you two truths that are the complete opposite of each other, haven’t I. They can’t both be truths now, can they.
Well the truth is (there I go again) that they are both… well true. The difference is your perspective.
Free article marketing takes persistence and a lot of folks just don’t have it. Oh they say they’ll give it a go – but that’s the problem. They just give it a go. They write five articles and haven’t made enough to retire on so they quit and then they’ll happily tell you that writing articles to make money doesn’t work.
Well hey, fancy that! You did a day’s work and you’re not rich. Who’d have thunk!
On the other hand you might want to take a realistic approach. You might want to realize that to build a sustainable income is going to take some time. You might want to try writing one article a day for a couple of months and then see what’s happening.
Truth is (more truths already) if you do that, several good things will happen. Number one, you’ll get lots of practice and your article writing will get better, faster and easier. Second, you’ll get confident about what you’re doing. Third, there’s a very good chance you’ll make a few dollars.
Next week you’ll make a few more dollars, you’re building an income not just sitting on your butt wishing.
Forget about dumb ideas of making a million next week. Lottery winners make a million next week, ordinary folks like you and me have to work at it a while. Not too long when compared to the grind you’re probably putting in at the moment for muck all, but it ain’t going to be next Tuesday.
Free article marketing, done right, makes money. That’s the truth that you want to focus on. Put it another way. You spend nothing, you get money back for it and you don’t want to try it? Really?

Your Marketing Sucks by Stevens, Mark Edition , 1 $24 “Your marketing sucks . . .” What in the world does Mark Stevens mean?For starters, let’s take spending camouflaged as marketing. Everyone sees all those expensive, slick, pointless campaigns day after day. Just turn on your TV set and there are all the look-alike ads from Ford, GM, and Chrysler with look-alike cars going down . . . a road. Creative? Probably yes—nice scenery, good-looking people, etc., etc. But effective? Mark Stevens says absolutely not. Like you’re going to spend $30,000 or more for the privilege of seeing a car go down . . . a road? Wouldn’t it be easier for the Big Three in Detroit just to open the windows at their ad agencies and throw out gobs of thousand-dollar bills? Don’t get Mark Stevens started on marketing that sucks, or he might mention all those oh-so-cool people-in-black at the ad agencies developing campaigns that generate all kinds of buzz—in the advertising community. But not in the marketplace. (Oops.) Note to advertisers from Mark Stevens: If you have an advertising agency that applies for any kind of an award (Clios, whatever), fire them immediately. They shouldn’t be in the business to win ego awards for beautiful ads. They should be creating ads that sell. Period! If they talk about building “mind share,” fire them immediately as well. That’s just another way of saying they’ll camouflage their failure to generate sales behind an intellectual smoke screen.Mark Stevens is the best friend of anyone with a product or service to sell who wants to use marketing as a basis for growing the business. What he provides both entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 types is a hard-nosed, “prove it to me” program that demands accountability for every dollar spent on marketing so that it brings in more revenue or customers, preferably both. Use his program and you won’t be throwing money out the window.Your Marketing Sucks is chock-full of practical ideas such as: * Marketing is not about advertising, public relations, or direct mail. It is about growing the revenues, profit, and valuation of the business.* The marketing moratorium. Stop all your marketing for a month and you may be surprised at what happens. Sales have actually risen at some companies, a sure sign that, prior to the moratorium, they were throwing money out the window. * Why the worst ads are actually the best. Start paying attention to the genius of the infomercial and cast a very skeptical eye on the kind of ads you see during the Super Bowl.* Reverse engineer your marketing so that it starts at the point-of-sale. Because nothing happens unless a sale is made.* Employ a swarming offense. Hit customers from every possible angle—print ads, sales displays, e-mails, infomercials.* Pick the low-hanging fruit. Cross-sell to clients and customers. Mark Stevens shows how to conceive an innovative, effective marketing campaign strategy—like Bill Gates’s battl |
