Get started and then be consistent. Marketing or syndicating and distributing your articles is an 'advertising' function (in addition to good old fashion grass roots marketing and brand building). Because it's an advertising function, it is an activity that you want to invest in on a monthly basis all year round.

You don't advertise your business once and you shouldn't engage in article marketing only once. Give it at least 90 days to 6 months to prove to yourself that writing and marketing with articles can pay dividends in terms of its ability to generate qualified visitors & traffic back to your website.

2. What is the one thing that every article writer and marketer must avoid?

Article writers should avoid the very basic sins of not doing spell and grammar check or failing to review sentence structure and punctuation.

Article marketers must avoid being spammy with their article writing and syndication strategies. This can be avoided with two simple rules:

1) Always give value in the article body and you get to sell yourself in the resource box (never the other way around); and

2) Always read the posted editorial guidelines to respect the publishers rules for the type of content that they accept. You'll be saving yourself a lot of time and will find an easier path to a higher acceptance of your article content.

I know you only asked for one thing they should avoid, but another that is just as important is to avoid PLR (private label rights) articles. Article marketers want to avoid buying into those crazy article re-writers that churn PLR content into Frankenstein articles that make you look foolish, not to mention may carry legal penalties for infringement. If you want to find short-cuts, look for ways to keep your integrity in tact by improving your article writing efficiency or by hiring a team of article writers to help you with your article inventory production goals.

3. Is this article stuff just a fad or is this something that is here to stay?

Article writing and marketing is not a fad and it’s been around for many decades in the print media world. It wasn’t until the mid-1990’s that article syndication on the Internet took off with a significantly higher viral nature than its print cousin.

It’s here to stay despite many who say the sky is falling due to the duplicate content penalty concerns. Reality is that the search engines use duplicate content identification as only one of over 70+ metrics they use to determine how much value to give an article. It’s hardly the prime factor as to whether article syndication will or will not hurt you in terms of love or lack of love from the search engines… and my recommendation is that you’ve got more to lose by not syndicating your quality original articles.

4. Can someone still write and market articles successfully if they are in a crowded niche?

Yes they can, but they will need
