Article Marketing, a Newbies plan
Hello,
This will be my first post ever on this forum, and for internet marketing. I’ve only been studying up on the topic for about a week. Trying to get a grasp on internet marketing.
I plan to outline my understanding of this process. I have a plan to success. I would like all you guys & gals to look it over, punch holes into it and work out the kinks.
I just hope I don’t make a complete ass of my self. But, I guess we all have to start somewhere.
Oh, yea. I’m a sucky writer, sorry for all the fluff. I just write how I talk

- Niche market research
- Keywords Research
- Traffic
Niche market research
The way I’m planning on doing this, is to build everything around one product. Rather then find a hot market, and finding a product for the market. I’ll first find a product and then do the market research. If it turns up a lot of keywords and topics in the forums and other sources, I’ll go with it.
So, I found a product. More like a test. I just need to prove to my self that I can make 1 sale. Proof of concept. So, I found this product on ClickBank Learn Hypnosis - Hypnosis Training Foundations - Hypnosis Book + Cds/Dvds + Tapes + MP3s
Keyword Research
I have no idea if this is the way to do keyword research or not. It’s a system I came up from my basic understanding of keyword research.
Ok, let’s get started.
First I’ll go to Free GTrends Tool From Wordtracker (a free keyword research tool).
I’ll type in “hypnosis” and put the results in a layout like this. (The numbers to the left are searches per day or something)
C= Competition V= Visitors R (Conversion Ratio) = C / V
1121 hypnosis
C = 9,820,000 V = 10,420 R = 942
515 self hypnosis
C = 1,080,000 V = 875 R = 1,234
389 hypnosis online
C = 53,200 V = 29 R = 1,834
311 free hypnosis scripts
C = 7,700 V = 29 R = 265
223 feminization hypnosis
C = 60,400 V = 65 R = 929
And so on…..
The idea of R (Conversion Ratio) is the amount of traffic vs. the competition. It’s to give me an idea of the possible room available for me to get in on. The way I look it is, even though there’s a lot of competition, there’s also a large market available.
I also do more math on it, to fine tune the keywords to a specific niche. But I’m not going that far in this thread. Like I said I may have the wrong idea about all of this.
Traffic
If the keywords and the product are looking good, I would start using them keywords to find topics to have outsourced. I suck at writing as I said before.
The main idea to making sales is to get backlinks to my site. I’m planning on doing 50 articles per month per niche. I’m not sure if I’ll need more articles or less per month, but it’s a starting point.
Now, I don’t do to much research on traffic building, but I did some preliminary research. So, the exact plan is yet to be developed.
So there it is. Its just a basic outline, but I hope you where able to understand it. It’s a plan in the works, I just want to make sure its on the right track and I did not get something wrong, or have a wrong idea.
