I've taken 2 courses online on this subject, and read the posts about this subject currently available on this forum using the search feature. Yet I still have some unanswered questions. I haven't started doing this yet because of these questions.
1. Niche Research: From what I gather it's all about what's hot. Following trends on sites like ebay pulse or the newspaper etc. Is this true?
2. Niches in General: I've read it on every site I've been at. Find something you're passionate about. Well, I'm a young man who probably hasn't lived long enough to find something I'm passionate about that doesn't have a ton of competition. So that leads me to the question: Is it better to do something that doesn't have much competition but you are not passionate about it or don't know much about it? Or do something that you are passionate about but has competition and just hope that your passion for it shows? Or are we talking something like a subniche? For example: Instead of doing something on movies in general perhaps a specific movie franchise or genre? But if the answer is we should promote something that is popular. How do you go about writing a decent article about it? Hate to answer my own question. But I heard from one of the courses I took to go to sites like ezine articles and various other sites about the topic. Gathering information and rewriting it in your own words is what it's telling me to do? Does seem a bit time consuming as well.
3. Niche Found: Okay, let's say I found my niche. And it's shoes how would I go about writing a 500 word article on shoes? Doesn't seem to have much writing options. Possibly reviews, but that requires buying a lot of shoes if I decided to review them. Right?
4. Sites And Blogs: Do I need them if I'm going to do this? I heard start out with a free blog which I'm probably going to do anyway. If I do this I will probably host it though the blog host and not my own domain or anything like that. Blogs and web sites also bring me back to my (Fake) niche of shoes. Should my blog or site be just about shoes or general apparel or anything wearable within my niche? Also I assume a name for both are important. So I have to pick something within my niche but something that doesn't isolate me to just one product line like shoes do, correct?
5. SEO (?): Ok, one of the tips I got was to search in google using quotes to find low competition key words then using those key words to make the title of your article. This has me the most confused. Do you want to get as little results as possible when searching with quotes? And what if you get no results or 1 or 2 results? Is there a certain range you should shoot for? Like between 100 and 5000 results? And when you search with quotes does your article need quotes and to be titled exactly like your search was? And do you need to put the title in the body of your article with quotes as well?
6. Articles and Blog posts: How many articles should you make and post a day if you have a full-24 hour of free time? Same with blogs. I assume blogs don't have to be updated every day. Ideally how often should those be updated assuming I need to start out with one. And should your blog entries be your articles? The exact same article? And what do I want to do exactly? Do I want to point them to my blog or the product I wrote about? Or both? Can I do both? Also should or do I need to put adsense or something on them? Don't you need a web site to get adsense? And how do you get adsense? I know little about it.
7. Grammar and spelling: I am working on my grammar and spelling isn't a problem. From what you've (the reader) seen of my post so far is it acceptable to do article marketing? Or should I work more on my grammar?
8. Software: Just a general question. Is there any software you'd recommend for a newbie like me?
9. Affiliate Networks: Which is a good network for a beginner? I joined clickbank a year ago but from what I read on this forum it just seems like a bad place to associate myself with. I did sort of notice myself with the get rich quick schemes, paid surveys, free game and movie downloads, and affiliate marketing guru stuff. Sure promoting it via article marketing I would probably remain anonymous but much of this stuff looks illegal.
10. Results: Finally at the end of my questions. I hope I covered everything I wanted to know. Just the last few questions. How fast if working hard can I expect to see results with article marketing? What is the maximum potential earnings doing just article marketing? Can it replace a 10$ an hour job?
Well, that covers about all my questions I hope.
Thanks for reading. Hope you can help!
