Making money online was actually extremely easy to do up until a few years ago when things began to change. What happened was that Google, facing insurmountable pressures, decided to change the face of article marketing as we once knew it.

It’s okay. Really. These are just changes that happen every once in a while. You should become more aggressive with your marketing in all respects. It is easy to compensate, as these changes just make us try harder and achieve greater things.

Although it would seem that Internet marketers would understand and incorporate the power of storytelling, most don’t. I would say that most marketers, in fact, do not know the power of what great stories can do. Some marketers will utilize storytelling in pre-selling which is where it can work the best. Your marketing strategy should never be fixated on one particular technique. Keep that in mind at all times. You need to make your point by making an actual story, not something that seems to be sales copy trying to sell something. By weaving your sales message and preselling into the story, you will be able to see if the strategy is effective or not.

The content, once it is published on your website or blog, now needs to be indexed by the search engines. They’re a couple things you need to do. It is important that the website be recognized as the only source for the new content you have just published. These search engines need to know this. One of the best places to get your content noticed is by placing a bookmark on Digg. Pinging is something else you can do to help the search engines find your article. If you are using a WordPress blog for your website you will not have to manually ping your page or post because WP does it for you.

Since related niches have something to do with your primary niche, it is okay to write about them, as long as they are indirectly tied in some way.

I have seen this done so many times, but you have to be careful, walking a fine line between related and not related topics. When you can make this happen and pull it off, then you will have just instantly expanded your marketing possibilities and traffic potential. As long as you do the same things in the related niches that you do in the related niches, you will do fine by simply rinsing and repeating as usual. Anyone that does not like to write should consider that perhaps they do not have the necessary skills to enjoy it. If we don’t like something, we tend to shy away from it. The same is true for writing anything. But, just remember that writing is a skill you can learn and it does take work. Be willing to do the work because you can become a great writer if you put your mind to it.
