In our last Article-a-Day episode you discovered how to keep your motivation going. Catch that one here.

Today you’re going to discover a few of the great results you get from the “Article-a-Day” strategy.

Let’s get started:

Article-a-Day Results

In our last episode, I listed some of the great results that keep me motivated even when I don’t feel link creating an article a day. That article got a great response, so it makes sense to break down those results a bit:

  • More reach and visibility: Every single article (and all the ways you repurpose them) increases your reach, both online and offline. When you’re visible in this way, you reach prospects you would not otherwise reach. Plus there’s a strong evergreen piece to this: Articles you created last year may be old to you but are brand new to those who find them for the first time.
  • More high-quality free traffic: How would you like your own arsenal of “evergreen traffic machines” driving great quality free traffic your way every day? And they don’t call in sick, come in cranky, ask for a raise, or even take a day off…
  • More list members: Include a small invitation in each of your articles and your list will grow every day. You’ll see an example at the end of this article.
  • More community: An article-a-day helps build a community of people with great hearts and great minds ready to do business with you. And when you take great care of your community, your community takes great care of you.

When you take great care of your community, your community takes great care of you

  • More audience: Building an audience keeps getting harder and harder online. An article-a-day makes it so much more simple, easy and doable. You’ll know you’re on the right track when you miss a day and get people asking:

“Where’s today’s article?”

This means they are looking forward to hearing from you every day.

  • More members: Your readers get a great taste of what working with you will be like. This makes growing your memberships so much easier. People want to be a part of what you’re doing!
  • More short books: Did you know that you can sell 1, 10, and 40-page ebooks and books on Amazon and your website? An article-a-day gives you all the material you need.
  • More material to create digital products: When most people sit down to create a digital product they begin by staring at a blank screen. This won’t be you when you are expanding and compiling your article content into multiple digital products.
  • More profit: When done with the article-a-day method, articles include invitations to free or inexpensive lead magnets. Lead magnets include invitations to the next success steps found in digital products that your audience can’t wait to buy. You can do the math…

When most people sit down to create a digital product they begin by staring at a blank screen. This won’t be you when you are expanding and compiling your article content.

  • More difference made: If you’re interested in making a difference with your message, this is the way to go. You just never know what hangs in the balance with each and every article.
  • More confidence: It’s interesting how this works. The more your confidence grows in creating an article-a-day, the more your confidence grows in all areas of online success.

I could go on, but that should be enough for now…
