Numerous ways of getting Traffic in the Internet for your website is really in existence. One way of doing it is by Article Marketing. This method is cheaper and requires less technicalities as compared with doing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on your website.
Yet, a lot of Internet Marketers despise this method, as this will force them to think and may require longer time than they could imagine. This is true for those who are writing their own articles and especially for beginners.
Here are the common mistakes:
1. No clear idea on what to write
The first hurdle to many Internet Marketers who wish to write their own articles. I heard this question a lot of times when I met my friends especially for those new ones to the online business, “what should I write as an article”? In my mind, I whisper the obvious answer, “guys what is the problem, it’s pretty simple… it is about your niche”.
2. Lazy to do some research
Believe it or not, there are really times that we just want to relax and do nothing. This is not really a good timing when you are supposed to write an article for your niche. As I am writing this article, I just wanted to go somewhere where I can relax, enjoy the scenery that nature has to offer… and do nothing that forces my brain to think. It takes a little discipline to accomplish the job at hand even though you feel like not doing it. If it is time for you to write an article, block anything that get in the way and get it done!
3. Do not know where and how to publish their article
This is critical and needs to be done correctly. Somehow, a little technical information is needed in this part for it to be effective. Do not re-invent the wheel, go to somebody who has done this before with reasonable success and ask how to do it! In some cases, it may cost you something out of your pocket. But in my experience, it is worth every penny.
4. Lack of commitment
Most Internet Marketers are guilty of this mistake, including myself! Somehow due to information overload, we tend to be distracted on new things that come out in the Internet pipeline. Because of this, we lost our focus on what was originally planned and left things half-done. The keyword is focus!
5. Ask somebody to do it
You heard me, it is a mistake if you will ask somebody to do it! There are certain conditions where outsourcing your article is the right thing to do. However, as a beginner and as the situation calls for it, a lot of advantages will be at your side if you will write your own articles. By writing your own articles, you will increase the knowledge on your niche. You will be exposed to articles in similar niches and build your reference knowledge on how it is done. These are just to name a few from the many advantages if you do write your own articles.
