5 Reasons Your Articles Aren't Making You Money

I've read a lot of stuff recently suggesting that article marketing is on the way out. I don't think this could be further from the truth. Article marketing is something that is here to stay. But like anything if you do it badly, then it won't have a positive impact on your business. Here's 5 reasons why your articles might be failing.

1) You aren't putting enough of yourself into the article. The article should be unique with your own style and/or story imprinted into its very fibre. Write for people who like reading not for article directories or simply to garner backlinks

2) You're not doing it enough! It's very easy to submit 1 or 2 articles - see little or nor result and give up. Keep at it, the effect of article marketing is cumulative.

3) You're not using a submission service and you're trying to do all the donkey work yourself. Why wast your time?

4) You can't write decently. It's a common fact that many internet marketers simply can't write. Your articles may be full of grammatical errors or punctuation mistakes. Learn to write properly!

5) You're not using anchor text. Very important! Vary the anchor text in the resource box of your article and your website will be pointed at by various keywords. Google will love your site!

Hope that all helps...
