Article Marketing - Sometimes the Simplest Strategies Produce the Greatest Results - Here's One

For most of us, we have had to do relatively little writing in our lives. I think that most undergrad programs require one, maybe two writing courses to get your degree. In my writing classes, we had to write 5 papers in the first one, and three in the second. I don't know about you, but for me to write a paper use to mean I had to invest a major effort to do so.

Now I admit that I am not normal, because I was unwilling to settle for any grade less than an *A.* The amount of effort from C to B is about double, but from B to A, I believe is at least double the effort again. So what does all this have to do with article marketing? We are just about there.

The bottom line is for most people to write something they expect to get a grade on, or published is a major effort. As a side note, the funny thing is, once you develop this skill, you can get greater results with much less effort. Turns out, for most people, there is only one way to get better, that is to start to write a lot.

So what is the point of all this seemingly obvious commentary? Well, when people feel like they have had to really invest a part of themselves into something, they have a tendency to make it very personal: this makes it hard to gear-up to do it again, it makes it hard to take constructive feedback, and it has a tendency to make ones confidence in their ability to do something low.

In article marketing, you have to do just the opposite. You need to get to a point, where you can write one article after another and take whatever feedback comes so you can consistently publish day in and day out. You need to have been successfully published enough times that you know within 30 minutes you could write an article that is ready to publish.

Sometimes your emotional attachment to something can be changed just by changing its name, what you call it. I think this is where the term, *article agents* comes from. Rather than thinking about what it takes for you to write an article, you focus on trying to get as many *article agents* out in the field selling for you as possible.

Then you don't feel like every article has to be able to win some type of writing prize, you can hammer out a few hundred words on a topic, proof it, have it proofed, and try to get it published, and then on to the next until you have 10 then 30 then 50 then 100 and so on. You do this until you start to realize the desired result, a large amount of targeted traffic to your site, blog, ezines or sales letter. Simple as that.
