"How To Make $10,000.00 Per Month With Article Marketing?"

Find out how to make four or five figures online working just a few hours per day...

This is an amazing interview I did with 'Captain' Tim Gorman, article Marketing 'Top Expert'

You are going to discover a LOT of article marketing secrets that you can apply to your affiliate business here. I did this interview for paid members of my APM Club, and today, I decided to make it available to the public...

Question 1. 

FS: At the moment, you are ranked top ezine author at the top article directory website on the web (out of thousands upon thousands of authors from all other the world) with 1,446
Articles and thousands of views. Tha's is really impressive.

The first question I'd like to ask you is what is your online business model? Is your business centered around article marketing? 

TG: My online business model is actually based upon 7 income generating components. I currently have 5 income sources generating income with the other 2 sources to follow later this year. They include the following:

1 – Adsense Sites

2 – Flipping Websites

3 – Selling PLR I have Revamped

4 – Selling My Own Products

5 – Personal Consultation

6 – Membership Sites

7 – Seminars

Although I do use a variety of traffic generation methods I have found that article marketing has generated the best returns for me on a consistent basis. There have been times when I haven’t worked on my Internet business for weeks at a time (due to military commitments) and yet my income either stayed the same or increased.

FS: Yeah, article marketing is one of the best way to adverte your business on the Internet. Those articles bring visitors to your website for years to come, and you couldn't stop this traffic if you wanted to. Every affiliate should submit articles to directories.

Question 2.

FS: When did you start Internet marketing? And what was your initial investment in your online business?

I actually started Internet Marketing indirectly in order to save money on my telephone bill. Because I’m a full time member of the military (Army) I have a tendency to move every few years based on job relocations. 

My wife had a strong desire to stay in contact with her family and friends using the phone which resulted in a high monthly phone bill. In order to cut my costs I did some online searches and found a company at the time called Cognigen which allowed a way to save on various telecommunication products to include monthly long distance. 

I was just about to join their service when I noticed something that mentioned make money by using and selling their services as an affiliate. After doing some additional research I signed up and became my very own first customer. I found that I could make money by
recommending their products and services to other people wanting to save money on their telecom needs.

I then started researching everything I could about making money online which led me to Google’s Adsense program. I joined it and initially started making a little bit of money before I finally developed my own traffic generation methods using what I called an “Article Blitz”. This method quickly propelled my online earnings into the 4 and 5 figure a month range.

I’ve basically stuck to the same strategy and have now expanded to flipping websites, selling PLR products and my own products. The returns have been better then expected.

Question 3.

FS: You are currently working in the army, right? How do you find the time to write all these articles? Do you outsource them all? I read a long time ago (almost one year and a half now) that you were writing 3 articles every single night. Are you still following this tough schedule?

TG: Yes, I’ve been in the Army for over 19 years and am currently a Major working in recruiting. When I initially started writing articles for my websites I was focused on getting two of my websites making between $3 - $5 a day. I was able to accomplish this within a couple of months. Once those sites started making money I started outsourcing my article writing requirements.I think I initially wrote my first 350 articles.

Believe it or not, article writing is like most anything in that the more you do the better you become. I can honestly tell you that I have wrote upwards of 10 articles in a single evening. After writing about a subject for so long you can almost write a quality article within 20 – 30 minutes provided you are completely focused on accomplishing that particular article.

With that said, I don’t shy away from outsourcing some of my article writing. I have found several competent services and some very good article writers that I trust to craft a quality article that meets my specifications. 

FS: This is a great tip, article marketing can take all your precious time, and it is very important that you start to outsource one you are able to afford it. Anyone doing business online should outsource. Affiliates, merchants. Outsourcing will multiply your income.

Question 4:

FS: You have many websites. More than the average article marketer. How many websites do you currently own, and how quickly do you start getting traffic to a new website?

TG: Right now I have perhaps 50 sites that are online and currently generating income. However, I did at one point in time have about 200 websites online until I had a domain name issue that lost me about 125 of those sites. I actually wrote up a plan to achieve $100,000 online from sites that used adsense as the primary monetization model. 

I released that to all members of the Niche Rockets membership (formerly Keyword Avalanche). I firmly believe that I would have easily exceeded that goal had I not lost so
many of my websites with the domain name issue.

In regards to traffic, I can have traffic generated to a site within hours of having it online and can have it making money within 24 – 36 hours. That traffic comes from a variety of sources but article marketing plays a huge roll in that process.

FS: That's a lot of website, and it's too bad to hear about your domain name issue. As for newbies, just start with a single site. Once it's making you $200, $300, start your second site...

Question 5.

FS: When you launch a new website, how long does it take to see any income from it?

TG: As mentioned in question 4, I can have a website making money in less then 36 hours. I think this is important to someone that is new and trying to make money online for the first time. 

That initial success makes us feel good and provides a strong incentive to continue to grind out the long hours needed to initially start an online business because it validates that you can make money online.

FS: exactly, I coached many beginners and I found that once they make their first online sale, it boost their self confidence, and they start to see the big picture. After the first sale, everything become easier.

Question 6.

FS. Do you have a website that produce more income than the others?

TG: Naturally, with so many websites in a number of niches I do have some sites that do better then others. I can tell you that some niches such as insurance, debt relief, credit reports, acne and contact lenses do very well but I think that’s pretty common knowledge. 

However, what some folks may not be aware of is that niches like elliptical trainers, treadmills, sunglasses, plus size clothing and bedbugs can outperform many of the higher paying niches. 

Once you figure out how to dominate the obscure niches you can make websites that create a consistent stream of income that pays fairly well. I actually do reveal many of my websites in the Niche Rockets forum because I know that it does help to have a reference point such as a visual aid when talking about niches that can or cannot make you money.

FS. Awesome, take notes folks, because these niches can make you several thousand dollars per month if you are serious.

Question 7.

FS: What is your current income (coming directly from your article marketing efforts)?

TG: I am a consistent high 4-figure a month earner and was making a solid 5 figures a month prior to the loss of so many of my domain names. Here’s an interesting note, I’m actually increasing my online income as I cut down on the number of sites I have online because I’m actually putting more focus on selling PLR products and my own products which offer a better ROI when compared to purely adsense income.

FS: Great, focusing on a couple of sites is always better than having dozens of sites. The only people who can really do that have big advertising budget and a full team of people working for them. Newbies are not aware of that...

Please keep in mind that I make 4 figures a month just from working this part time. There’s no doubt in my mind that once I retire from the military I’ll easily be able to make upwards of $50,000 or more a month from my online business because I’ll be able to spend 12 hours or more a day working on my business instead of the 2 – 3 hours I currently spend each night.

FS: Once you have a proven plan, all you need to do is to make sure that you follow it. A plan is important because you know where you are at with your online business...

Question 8.

FS: I noticed that you primary link to your adsense websites in your bio box. You also have an affiliate website. Can you tell us more about your experience with affiliate marketing?

TG: Initially all of my income was generated from adsense but then I gradually started shifting towards affiliate marketing. I do very well with certain niche topics like contact lenses, debt relief loans, insurance leads, bed bug prevention products, elliptical trainers, treadmills and some other niches that I have affiliate banners and links in order to sell products.

Now, I’m doing extremely well with PLR products because the ROI is extremely lucrative. For example I initially make all of my sites with the objective of obtaining $3 - $5 a day from adsense which means a 3 day average should be between $9 - $15. 

Let’s assume I sell a PLR product that I have modified and improved upon for $17. In this example if I sell 1 product every 3 days I’m actually ahead of my adsense objectives by $2 or more. It gets even better if you sell more then one copy of the product in that 3 day
time span.

Question 9.

FS: You are in many niches! I saw anything from Golf to stop smoking, beauty
and affiliate marketing. How many niches are you currently promoting products in?

TG: I’m currently in well over 50 niches but I have data on the earning power of over 200 niches. I actually shared some of this data with Niche Rocket members in order to help them better understand which niches paid well and which they should pass on in the event they were targeting adsense as a monetization model. 

I use a different method to my market research that is similar to the Wendy’s  vs McDonald’s story. Basically Wendy’s forgo spending money on researching where to build their hamburger stores. Instead they simply built them near McDonalds because they knew that they had already done the research for them. 

I use a similar approach when it comes to researching which niches I’m initially interested in making a site for….perhaps I’ll explain that in detail in some future product I release.

FS: As they say... why reinventing the wheel? If you see something that's already working, just replicate the process, and it will also work for you.

Question 10. 

FS: Do you use other article sites beside ezinearticles.com? And does ezinearticles.com outperform all the other article directories?

TG: There is no doubt in my mind that ezinearticles.com does outperform any other article directory. However, I do on occasion mass submit articles and am now refining a list of 10 – 15 preferred article directories that I plan to submit to on a regular basis. In fact, I’ve included a quick snapshot of my ezinearticles.com activity so you can see just how much traffic can be generated from 1446 live articles.

It's really impressive. That's more than 2 millions views for 1,446. And you got more than 100,000 visitors to your site. This is awesome. Plus your articles have been picked by more than 35K webmasters and/or ezine publishers. That's an average of 78 clicks per articles. 

And this is without taking in consideration the additional search engine traffic.

FS: Great job! I think that now everybody understand the REAL power of article marketing.

Note: The tracking feature at ezinearticles.com was added in june 2007. All the click you see above started after this date. That's more than 100,000 clicks in only 10 months. Imagine what you would have pay with adwords for 10K clicks...

Question 11.

FS: How do you build all these websites? Do you have a software like xsitepro? How long does it take to build a site like yours? 

TG: I’ve never personally used xsitepro but have heard good things about it. I normally use SEO WSB by Dr. Andy Williams. The software is fantastic and once you have a few custom templates it makes building sites a breeze. With the right material on hand (graphics, articles…etc) I can build a money making site in about 30 – 45 minutes.

FS: when you have the right software, it becomes easy to crank up websites in just a few minutes. My affiliate profit mentor club members like the design dashboard, it's the one I recommend. One of my students built a site in less than 24H and it was his first one.

Question 12:

FS: I also notices that you don't capture your visitors email address. Aren't you building a list of subscribers?

TG: That’s correct, although I am now getting ready to start that process. I never really concerned myself with building a list but having become more wiser and better educated I see the merits in having a healthy responsive list and am making plans to do this crucial task in order to increase the profit potential of my online business.

FS: This is amazing. You were already doing five figures monthly without a list. Did you hear that? With a list of loyal subscribers, you an multiply your income pretty fast. I recommend to everyone to start with a list right from the start.

Question 13.

FS: Tell us about private label right. I didn't have time to study your work on this topic, but according to what I've seen, you seem to be an expert in this domain as well. What are you doing exactly, do you have a membership site or anything like that?

TG: I don’t know if I would say I’m an expert. I am doing very well with PLR products right now and the income generation possibilities are almost endless. It’s a very fun and lucrative alternative to adsense so I highly recommend exploring how PLR products can enhance anyone’s online business. I actually did release a well received original product that covers where I find PLR and how I make money with it. The website is located at
http://www.netsenseplr.com

Question 14.

FS: How do you track your article marketing efforts? Do you use Google Analytics or any other software?

TG: You’re going to love this answer, I actually don’t really track anything other then how many page views my articles are getting and how much income is being generated by each website I build. I've never been a stats guy and with my time being so limited I decided to just focus on building money making sites. It has seemed to work out well for me over the long haul.

FS: Well again, I didn't expect this reply, it's the first time I see a five figure marketers who isn't tracking his marketing efforts. I think you should track everything... from your web page visitors to who click your emails and buy your products.

Question 15.

FS: Let's talk about seo... How many articles do you need to submit to have 3000 visitors a month for example? And do you get significant increase in rankings when you submit your articles?

TG: This question is difficult to answer because it really boils down to several factors which include how popular the niche topic is you plan to write the article on, how well you write the actual article, how well you write your resource box and how/where you submit the actual article once completed.

The fact is, article writing is a science much like SEO is and if done properly, it can generate tons of sustainable traffic month in and month out. What I can tell you is that it does appear to take more submitted articles to actually get a site into a mode where it regularly makes you money. 

In regards to rankings, I use to follow where my sites ranked but now I honestly don’t fret over it to much because at the end of the day my submitted articles are what is driving traffic to my site and some of my best producing sites in terms of online generated income are nowhere to be found in the search engines. I actually kind of like it that way because then I don’t have to worry about people finding my sites by performing a search with the
hopes of reverse engineering what I’ve done to get them ranked.

Question 16.

FS: If you could only give three article marketing secrets to my members now, what would they be?

TG: Sure.

Secret #1 – When submitting an article always use deep linking to your websites.

If you’re not sure what that is then start doing your research because it does make a difference in how well your websites does in terms of income generation.

Secret #2 – The key ingredients for a successful article start with the title and end with the resource box. You must have a long tail keyword title, your article should be anywhere from 350 words to 500 words and contain your keyword phrase a total of 2-3 times. 

Your resource box must have a call to action statement that gives your reader no choice but to click on the link in order to get back to your website.

Secret #3 – When putting the links in your resource box always include the standard html link along with the keyword rich anchor text links. 

For example (http://www.netsenseplr.com) This way if someone cuts and pastes your article on their website if the other links aren’t live for some reason, you still have this link providing exposure in the event someone wants to visit your site.
