Aggressive Internet Marketing With Articles May Be The Secret To The Long Sought After Golden Goose

I once interviewed over 150 people who were involved in or that were interested in network marketing companies. I learned a lot about this industry and why it is so attractive to the average person. But, there is one aspect of it that I think relates to article marketing that I think is worth talking about.

The most common answer that I received from the people that I interview was, *Long Term Residual Income.* This is the reason why almost every person I interviewed told me they were interested in Network Marketing.

As I am sure many of you know with very little input from me, very few ever make a profit much less enjoy the benefits of long term residual income. As a matter of fact, I have some doubts as to whether many of those who do rise in the ranks of their companies ever really enjoy or receive the, "long term," part of *long term residual income.* I'll save that for another article, or you can email me and ask me about this yourself.

At this point, you might be wondering what does this have to do with article marketing. I think that article marketing may very well be able to deliver on that often promised but seldom delivered golden goose of, *long term residual income.*

Let me lay this out for you and let's see what you think. First of all, through article marketing you never have to call someone on the phone or bug your family and friends. Second of all, once a person reads one of your articles, they know what it is that you are promoting, and they have an interest in it or they would not have bothered to read the article.

Now if they click on your resource box, they are reaching out to you for more information for one of two reasons. One, they have some degree of confidence in you because of your article, or at the very least, they believe you can lead them to more information on that topic. Either way, I cannot think of any type of lead that is more targeted than that.

The more targeted, as I am sure you can imagine, the more likely they are to do business with you. Here is where it starts to get really cool. What if you focused on products and services with monthly reoccurring fees? Think about that for a second.

That's right; you have created a funnel that only attracts people who are actively looking for your topic. Then they click on your link because they want more information. Lastly, they buy a product or service from you that they are going to need or use over and over again month after month.

No talking to people, no calling your friends and family, no rejection, no thinking about who might be a good prospect. Just you, a word processor, a little research, and internet connection, an affiliate link, and a place to cash checks. If you need more socialization, join a gym with some of the money you'll be making.
