Writing Or Marketing? – In Article Marketing It Makes A BIG Difference
Writing or marketing is something you are going to want to distinguish BEFORE you embark on an article marketing attempt. It really does make a big difference in article marketing when it comes down to it. That was the real intention of my last post beware the newcomer what article marketing means to you.
A lot of “writer’s” Become attracted to article marketing and not knowing what it is all about get caught up in a marketing frenzy. I would imagine it is because it sounds a lot like a writing venture and it is, however, in many ways it is more marketing than writing. This is why it is so important to decide your first goal and what it is you want to accomplish with article marketing.
Many others who attempt it or try to use is as a stand alone business method are in for a very disappointing surprise. This is where the title of this lens comes in; “Article Marketing All Alone.” Article marketing all alone is not recommended. It can be done and in fact it used to be done all the time back when the internet and online marketing was still in its infancy.
There is “marketing your articles”, then , “article marketing” and then of course there is writing articles for pay. They are all three different as well as producing different outcomes. Marketing is mainly used for initiating sales or at the very least popularity for a business, service or product that will eventually lead to a sale. Or in a word ‘leads.’
Now writing articles to display your talent as a writer is completely different. If that is what you are interested in, I would recommend NOT trying your hand at article marketing. At least not in the beginning. Once you prove yourself online as a writer in some sort of niche, subject that you enjoy writing about and after you have done a good amount of research on internet marketing; Then article marketing becomes highly recommended.
Just something that I thought might be helpful to some writers that are out there considering the trade. It is a very lucrative and possibly profitable when applied correctly. So much of the outcome relies on your original intention that the difference is night and day.
Anything is possible and there truly is no set rule. However, in my experience the goal makes the results more clear thus creating the possibility that much more plausible.
