If you are just started going into article marketing, you probably know by now that there are a host of problems associated with article marketing. Although the concept itself is simple to understand, the implementation process can be time consuming. Success article marketers know how to overcome these problems. First, let's see what these problems are:

1) Articles need to be unique and original. So you need time to write these articles.

2) Articles need to be of decent quality, cannot be self promotional, and must contain useful information. That means no bot generated content. So the thought of using software to churn out tons of useless articles goes to the trash can.

3) When the articles are ready, you need a list of article directories. These can be readily found online, but the problem is, many of these lists are not maintained. So you find quite a handful of outdated or abandoned article directories.

4) Once you have a list of article directories, you need to submit your articles to each directory individually. This is an extremely time consuming process, and most marketers give up because of the submissions. It's just too time intensive.

There are article submission software that will help to submit articles. But software cannot track your article submissions for you, which leads us to the next problem.

5) It is difficult to track how many articles you have submitted. After a while, most article marketers lose track of the exact number of articles that they have submitted.

Even some sort of simple tracking is better than having none at all. For example, an article marketer should be able to see when the articles are distributed, how many have been distributed, and what are the resource boxes used.

Ultimately, to know whether your article distribution is effective or not, you will need some kind of link popularity tool to tell whether the search engines are indexing your links. Fortunately, there are many search engine optimization tools on SEO websites that offer such tools for free. But it's still up to the article marketer to check their sites' link popularity on a regular basis.

Face with seemingly unsurmountable problems as discussed above, inexperienced internet marketers give up before they can see the results they want.

This is unfortunate because in reality, these problems can be overcome. Many successful article marketers have written and submitted thousands of articles, building tons of quality back links to their sites. As a result, their sites rank very well for various keywords in the search engines. Question is, how did they do it?

The secret to being successful in article marketing is to outsource whenever possible. If you write all your articles yourself, there are only so many articles you can complete in a single day. But if you have a team of writers to write on your behalf, theoretically speaking, you can write an infinite number of articles per day. The more writers you have, the more you can do each day.

So outsource both your article writing and article distributions if you can. There are highly affordable services available out there if you look hard enough.
