If You Think There Is No Hope- Read This
When I first started article marketing in January of 2008, it took me a week to write one article. After I wrote it I would then submit it to an article directory and then admire it for another week even though it was trash! I was alternating submissions to 12 different articles sites and was completely disorganized and misled by the duplicate content myth.
Between my plodding along, having to deal with 12 different formats of submission and getting the rejected articles (there was a lot of them) edited and resubmitted I was about to quit article marketing. I also didn't really understand how keyword(s) research really applied to articles. I was still thinking along the lines of PPC even though I was broke from failing at that.
The sad part about all this is the solutions were in front of me all along. I was a member of WA since October of 2007. The release of STF at WA and the “STF Affiliate Blueprint for Success!” inspired me to get back to work. I stared writing daily again in August of 2008 and by October was getting my 5 articles a week usually taking all 7 days to get it done. Now (February 2009) I have no problem making 5 and can do a few more.
This is not to brag because I still have a lot of improvement to make but I just wanted to emphasize the fact that it can be done, even by a high school janitor! I see so many Newbies like myself give up just before things start to click for them. That just wouldn't be right.
