Autopilot Article Marketing?
Would anyone be interested in an article marketing full-service? How much would you be willing to pay for it?
If you are no implementing article marketing as one of your promotional legs, you should! It is one of the best “free” marketing strategies that one can buy.
Article marketing operates on the theory of reciprocity. You craft an informational, sometimes education piece of article, and you give it away to other websites or publishers with reprint rights, with your credit or byline attached to the article. It is almost like writing a free report (with links back to your website) and giving it away. In this model, you must give (the article) before you receive (readers coming back to your site).
Now, there is the right way to approaching article marketing versus the “wrong” way of doing this. I am not too interested in talking about the wrong way or the shortcut way of doing article marketing because I don’t want you to even know about it so you will always do it right.
Recently the Rhodes Brothers put out a 21-page report titled “How To Drive 1,000s Of Visitors To Your Website With Article Marketing”
I bought it, read it twice, and thought I’d share this with you (I purchased the resell right to this, because quite frankly, it’s an excellent report). As a loyal reader to my blog, you get it for free :). Here is what’s covered in the report:
Table of Contents
Article Marketing Explained
The 4 Things ALL Articles Must Have
How to Create an Outline For All of Your Article
5 Easy Ways To Get Your Creative Juices Going
What to Do Before Submitting To Article Directories
Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read
Writing a Resource Box that Makes People Click
If You Hate Writing Articles…
Recommended Resources
Needless to say, I’m not going to regurgitate what’s inside the report. You can read it for yourself and find your own golden nuggets.

Now, going back autopilot article marketing service. I’m in the planning stage of forming an article marketing full-service where articles will be written for you with your specs, and submitted for you by hand to the top article directories. I’m a firm believer of reciprocity and only puts out the best content. If it’s not something I’m ashamed of putting my name next to, I simply won’t publish it. Therefore, these articles that will be written are probably going to be no less than 500 words (most likely 800 - 1200 word articles). No, these won’t be your typical $5 articles that you can get someone to write for you on Guru, eLance, Scriptlance, Rentacoder, iFreelance, GetaFreelancer, or what-have-yous.
Will you be interested in a service like this? How much would you pay for something like this? With this service, all you need to do is give me your website or product/service and I will do the rest for you in terms writing and submitting articles that will only help promote for your site/product/service.
Hi Steve,
Excellent marketing idea. I googled article distribution services, try it. . http://www.isnare.com/distribution.phps
Owner of my co. has written many ezine articles on Loss Mitigation. I probably can borrow from him.

There was a recent WSO on the Warrior Forum for how to get articles written in perfect English for $3 per article.
I would think that the goal is to keep costs down, but the submission of the articles is another task.
Where are you submitting the articles?
What is your cost per article going to be?

Hey Lori,
Be sure to put out the best articles out there. You can spend $5 to have a PLR-quality 500 word article written for you, or you can spend $25 to have a high-quality 500 word article written. Yes, the initial investment is 5 times more, but the ROI can be multiples of that.
Hey Brian,
Yes, I bought that same WSO as well. You can definitely make a business out of being the middleman charging $10 per article and have them written for $3.
I submit my articles to 3 - 4 directories out of the list of 10 in the “How To Drive 1,000s Of Visitors To Your Website With Article Marketing” report: Definitely ezinearticles, and goarticles at the very least.
I haven’t quite figured out how much the articles will be. I think I will form 2 types of article writing/submission services. One to get eyeball traffic, the other for backlinks. How much do you pay to get articles written and what are your experiences with them?

Hi Steve and Brian,
I have no problem with $25.00 per article, a small price to pay. “How to Drive “is a good article. Getting educated today, no goo to use my co. Ezines, people will be driven to theirs. Need to make them my own.
I can refer the writer to other sites explaining Loss Mitigation. What’s WSO?

Happy new year!
Lori… you don’t want to know what WSO is… trust me…
WSO stands for Warrior Special Offer… it’s a sub-forum to WarriorForum.com, one of the most active internet marketing communities online. In the WSO forum, people offer special offers from ebooks products to coaching programs.
Just be very careful what you read there (and what you buy =).

Steve,
I’ll be your 1st ezine/submission client . You can Google Los Mitigation, Stop foreclosure, foreclosure help, etc. to learn what info needs to be incorporated in the article if you want to do it I’ll help too.
Here’s a start

Articles do bring traffic in my experience. But unless your niche does not have much competition on ezine articles you really need to keep adding articles or the traffic disappears.
