His responses may sound like much of what you8217;ve read here before, but they8217;re true value lies in their repetition and validation of tried and true methods of achieving success. Steve, what sets you apart from other Expert Authors?I am an article marketing expert, and tend to always write about article marketing tips and strategies. Through the service I set up some years ago now, I8217;ve helped thousands of clients achieve their own article marketing successes.What8217;s your secret to article writing and marketing success?Two things 8211; consistency, and effective keyword research. In terms of consistency, it8217;s important for ongoing success to write articles on a regular, ongoing basis, rather than just write a batch of articles at one time, get them out there and then stop. Effective keyword research means you8217;re not just targeting your articles on topics that likely prospects are actively searching for online, you8217;re also creating links back to your site in the most effective way possible, i.e. through appropriate use of anchor text.How do you stay motivated to write articles?Once you get into the habit, it becomes just that, a regular habit, and the ideas on what to write about just keep on leaping out at you. I don8217;t find motivation an issue.How do you decide what to write about?Often it8217;s queries and questions from customers 8211; this may be either directly to our customer support, or via comments on our blog. They may highlight something they want to know about, and that can then form the basis of a great article. It8217;s also led by keyword research,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so looking for long-tail keywords within my niche with low competition, which would form the basis of an article 8211; 8216;how to8217; type keyword phrases are ideal, often that gives you the title there and then.How do you balance writing for quality and quantity?Quality and consistency are more important than quantity. The better links, and therefore the greater results, will come through the use of higher-quality articles, especially as nowadays publishers are becoming far more discerning. One high quality article is worth far more long-term than ten low quality articles that no one8217;s going to publish.How has using EzineArticles affected your traffic? We get traffic from a wide variety of sources, but we8217;ve had thousands of hits from EzineArticles over the past few months.How does article marketing fit into your overall marketing plan?

I8217;ve had successes and failures like everyone else, but each experience has been a valuable learning one that I8217;m glad to have had.What advice would you give newbie article marketers?Do some decent keyword research, and get a list of keywords that you can use as a reference going forward for creating numerous articles 8211; then at least you8217;re not starting with a blank page each time and wondering what to write about. Keep an eye on what comes in from customers and prospects, as their questions can form the basis of really great articles within your niche and focus on exactly the sort of information your potential customer base is looking for. And keep going! Don8217;t just give up after a couple of articles.Anything else you8217;d like to share?There8217;s a world out there that exists beyond the online world, which is easy to forget when you spend a lot of time online. So don8217;t be so blinkered on succeeding online that you forget what exists around you when you8217;re offline 8211; turn the computer off and the whole online world disappears in the blink of an eye. Spend at least a day, preferably two, a week, where you don8217;t go near a computer, and reconnect with reality 8211; balance in all things is so important.Steve8217;s Advice in a Nutshell:Write articles on a regular, ongoing basis.Practice effective keyword research.
