If you have other means in optimizing your site, you can actually outsource article writing. There are a lot of talented writers out there and you just have to find them in the online money site.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I do agree with you that writing articles could take a lot of time however it does pay off especially if you write valuable content.

I say that is not true.  Article marketing when done right is a great way to make money.  I have been using article marketing for years and can say that it has done wonders for me.  I earn a steady income from article marketing.  In order to succeed with article marketing you must 1. Choose keywords with a low to moderate competition 2. Optimize your site and content for those keywords 3. Write unique articles optimized for your chosen keywords, with anchor text links of your keywords pointing to your website. 4. Submit to as many article directories as possible 5. Understand that this is not an overnight thing.  You must consistently write and submit your articles and realize that it might take weeks or months to get sizable results.Think about how big EzineArticles, GoArticles, and other major article directories have become.  All of these directories have content submitted by authors and some of these authors have submitted thousands of articles.  Now, if these authors have submitted thousands of articles, can you really say article marketing doesn&#039;t work?  I know I sure can&#039;t.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you say article marketing fails to deliver?  I say that is not true.

And although I&#039;m no &quot;guru&quot;, it seems like it would make more sense to spend your time writing one really good article, instead of a few &quot;average&quot; ones.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;The only people who seem to keep article marketing alive are those who sell ebooks that teach you how to do article marketing.&#8221;</p><p>How right you are!
