Article marketing success can really be summed up in one word: persistence. Of course, it is very important to learn the necessary skills to be an effective article marketer, and this can take time and some trial and error. However, once those skills are learned, the key factor is whether one can continue to write over the long haul to bring in more traffic and affiliate sales. Creating as many articles as possible for as many keywords as possible is the name of the game.
With that said, if adequate research is done, the articles can almost seem to "write themselves" after one gets into the habit. Getting into the habit gets a lot easier, however, if your articles are successful and pulling view and clicks right out of the gate.
Some key points for ANY article marketer to remember:
Don't get sucked in by the claims of many "guru's" telling you that robo-article generating software works. For the most part, it doesn't. Generating robotic or heavily spun content is really just a waste of time and bandwith. You must be committed to producing your own content and take the time necessary to do that. That doesn't mean you can't borrow concepts, it just means they need to be in your own words
Watch the numbers- Because articles serve as your online "salesforce" it is important to understand the key metrics that determine if an article is succeeding or failing. Watch you article views and click through ratio over time(CTR). Most people will find certain articles do better over time than others. Go back and analyze these articles to see if there is any common reason for their success. Of course, you'll need to produce articles to even get to this point, so writing efficiently and regularly over time is the key here.
Choose your keywords carefully- You'll need a good keyword tool here. I find Google's to display too much erroneous or dated information. However there are a number of good ones that show true competition as well as other key metrics for low competition keywords to write your articles around.
