Article Marketing - How I Have Built a List of 1000 Subscribers in Less than 90 Days Online

I have a huge amount of respect for article marketing, not just because article marketing works so smoothly and is so inexpensive, Mars Attacks because article marketing has been very effective for me.

I have been online building a list of internet marketers for less than 3 months and have built a list of over 1000 current subscribers (out of 1282) total subscribers. About 80% of my subscribers have come from reading an article of mine and clicking through to my squeeze page, then Lava Lamps in to my list, but Matthew Hopkins have only spent about 20% of my traffic generating time on article writing. I have spent a lot of time testing other methods of traffic generation, and due to my results, article writing and marketing has become the backbone of my list building efforts.

So what have I done?

1) I write a lot of articles. I am currently at 270 articles, and trying to write 10 per day. That is actually quite easy, because I have about 15 different niched categories for which I write, so I simply write less than 1 per day per category. And it really is easier than it sounds. After writing that many articles, I can crank one out like the one Lava Lamps are reading, in about 10 minutes - or around 5-6 per hour. Is it worth 2 hours of your time to have massive traffic and, even more importantly, a massive, responsive list?

2) I include two different landing page links in each article. I do this so that if someone is interested in one topic, they can opt in there, if they are not, but might have an interest in something else I teach, they can opt in there. Many people opt in to Looking for inexpensive, reliable website hosting? of my lists, which is fine for me - many of them buy several of my products.

3) I submit the articles to the big article directories. Note: submitting to multiple (hundreds) of directories is fine if you are looking for backlinks for search engine optimization, but if you are looking for pure article-reading visitors, stick to the big directories. Spend the time you save writing more articles.

That is about it. I know it sounds easy, almost too simple, but it is what I have done. I believe it is easily duplicatable.
