The 3 Mistakes That People Do In Article Marketing
Here are 3 of the most common mistakes made in article 
marketing.
Mistake #1 is what I call marketing resistance. Some 
people hear that word ‘marketing’ and they just kind of 
pucker up. They get all tight inside.
“I can’t market! Marketers are used car salesmen or 
people on the internet who say ‘Buy my new product 
today or your family will starve.’”
I don’t think I’ve seen anything exactly like that, but 
some of you are laughing out there or smiling because 
you’ve seen things that are close.
That’s not what I mean by marketing. Again, that 
definition of marketing that I titled the call with and 
started the call with is –
Article marketing is simply getting your expertise in 
front of as many eyes as possible in as many consumable 
forms as possible.
Another way of defining marketing is seeing it as simply 
letting other people know what you do. That’s all it is!
Marketing is letting other people know what you do.
There are lots of ways to do that with class and integrity 
that can be congruent with who you are. You know the 
way I approach things in my programs is that not one 
size fits all. One of the things that I’ve been told I’m 
good at, and I think people are right, is that I’m pretty 
good at meeting people wherever they are in their 
business journey, in their internet journey – meeting 
them where they are and helping them move forward. 
So it’s not one size fits all.
Mistake #2 is believing there’s only one way to let 
people know about what you do. Some people who 
make that mistake get very very wed to how they see it, 
to how they do it, to their way, to ‘the’ way.
That’s understandable. People get territorial and 
invested in things and that’s ok. I’ve always thought 
there’s lots of ways to do things, so there’s lots of ways 
to market your articles to get your expertise in front of 
people.
Mistake #3 is inconsistency in marketing your articles or 
getting your expertise out there.
Most people, when it comes to marketing anything, do 
what I call ‘marketing a la carte.’ Marketing ala carte is 
waiting until things get bad, you’re feeling desperate, 
and you just grab something from the marketing menu 
and do it. You throw some money at it, hoping it will 
work.
No, no, no, no, no.
I’ve got a pop quiz for you tonight. What’s the most 
important piece of a jigsaw puzzle?
Now the answers I often get when I ask that question 
are things like ‘the straight pieces,’ ‘the corners,’ etc etc. 
‘The solid colors.’
Now all of those are good answers, but they’re not the 
best answer because the most important piece of a 
jigsaw puzzle is the box top, because there is the 
blueprint. To be consistent you need a blueprint. You 
need something that you can do over and over again 
with success.
Inconsistency is part of being human. Back in graduate 
school and days after when I was playing racquetball 
two or three times a week, we had a little saying among 
us. “Consistency is the key.” You could go along and play 
well for a few minutes, and then play horrible for a 
minute.
So consistency in marketing, especially in article 
marketing, is to write regularly. If you’re going to be 
serious about this and really use article marketing to 
build your business, you want to write and submit two 
articles – “Oh my gosh, is he going to say a month? A 
week? A day? What?” – a week.
Two articles a week. That gets the fresh content out 
there and keeps you in the flow.
