Here are two questions I get asked a lot about free articles as marketing tools.Do articles really work in generating leads and bringing in business?
Can somebody make a million dollars by using only articles to promote their business?
InterestinglyI get asked these questions by people who have heard about my servicesthrough one of my articles they came across. I am sure because there isno other form of marketing that I use. You would think that the factthat they got to hear about me and my services through the articles, inthe first place, would give them a little more faith in this powerfulform of online marketing and make them a little more confident.
Actuallyit is not that surprising when you consider that most people can hardlyremember how they first came across a web site or business online.
Whileit is true that I stay in one of the less costly cities of the world(albeit away from my home country), I still have to support a wife, twochildren and a grandson. And I do it all from my online business.
Youshould also know that my income and leads generated through articleshas been consistently growing at an increasing rate. That makes perfectsense because the facts are that as you increase the number of articlesyou have posted online and as the viral effect of your better articlesgetting re-posted all over the net takes place, the number of peopleexposed to your hybrid ads (that is exactly what articles posted on thenet really are) increases dramatically. The inevitable affect of thisis that you will get more leads and more business.
So the answer to the first question is YES.
Theanswer to the second question is also an emphatic YES. But I hasten toadd that you will have to work very hard to reach that figure.
Youwill have to work very hard on the quality of your articles. And youwill also have to be focused and focus all your articles, like a laserbeam on a single subject, business and web site that you want togenerate a million dollars for you.
For your articles to be really effective, they should strive to solve some pressing problem among your target market.
