Is Article Marketing Worth The Time And Effort?

Many internet marketers I know use article marketing to drive targeted traffic to their website. Even the great Affiliate Marketer, Ewen Chia rose to stardom status through his article marketing efforts.

Personally, I've also used article marketing to great success and generated a huge bulk of traffic from this free promotional tool. If you're wondering if article marketing is worth the effort and time, my answer without a shadow of a doubt is an astounding 'YES!' here's why...

Article marketing generates targeted traffic to your sites. Here are three good reasons why you will want targeted traffic.

1. Targeted traffic is more willing to know what you're offering. Like the adage, "give the aspirin only to people with a headache." Readers who want to find out more after reading your articles will want to find out more from you.

That's when they click that little link in your resource box and enter the site you want them to.

2. Saves you energy and time. To put it bluntly, untargeted traffic takes up your time but returns you nothing. Personally, I've experienced customers who ask me tons of questions just to end up walking away from my business.

These 'party-patrons' ask to satisfy their curiosity but has no plans to purchase your service and/or product. Our time is too short. Don't waste it. Why waste hours explaining your product to someone who won't buy it?

3. Targeted customers tend to stay longer in your site or newsletter. This is great news for any internet marketers. Why? Simply because it means they can promote more products to these people and earn more profits from them. Talk about economy of effort - spending your effort only on things and people who needs it. Article marketing is the ultimate effort-saver.

That's it.

Once again, I must say that article marketing is definitely worth your time and effort. In fact, article marketing is probably the best free promotional tool online that  generates targeted traffic to your site.
