I hope that you’re having a pleasant weekend, and enjoying the
Easter celebration if it’s a part of your heritage, as it is
for me.
Today, I wanted to discuss the conventional wisdom that tells us
that “there are no real secrets in internet marketing.”
Since not everyone enjoys the same level of success, obviously
not everyone is doing things the same way, and I submit that
it’s because we haven’t all been exposed to the same knowledge
or tools.
Often that knowledge was learned through a lot of trial and
error. That knowledge gives some marketers a slight edge, or
even a huge advantage. Often those marketers don’t really want
to share that knowledge… not because they are selfish as
much as because they fear it being diluted once it becomes to
common.
Many people discover things that work great in their marketing,
and then greed takes over, and they do stupid things that
eventually force the search engines to react, and then those
things stop being as effective. Greed ruins it for a lot of
us.
So if you really think about it, there are secrets! There are
things that have to be kept discrete, to protect them.
One of my not-so-secret “secrets” is just how effective articles
are for me. I’ve now written and published over 900 articles.
I write at least one new article EVERY DAY. The reason is
because they work.
My mentors found that they work very predictably for them too.
At Matt Bacak’s recent seminar, I shared from stage that I’ve
had single articles earn me over $10,000 in as little as 2
weeks.
My friend Paul Schmitt has had similar results with articles,
and it’s how we both have LOTS of front-page results at Google.

As you can see, article marketing is certainly NOT a secret,
but most people don’t know how to do it effectively.
