Some Disadvantages of Article Marketing

The disadvantages are very few while the advantes are many. In fact, you will find that the advantages far outweight the disadvantages in the long run, and you can find a way around all of the disadvantages.

You need writing skills; if you don’t have any, this is a definite disadvantage. If this is the case, you must hire a ghost writer to write your articles for you or learn to write them yourself.  This means you either have a learning period that you must go through, or you must pay for this service. The good news, however, is that hiring someone to write a quality 300 to 500 word article usually costs less than ten dollars, a small price for the return.

Even if you can write your own articles, you will find that this can be time consuming. If you have the time, great. If you don’t, you should strongly consider paying a ghost writer to do this. It is important that you choose the right ghost writer for this task. Some charge outrageous - unaffordable - fees, while others charge very low fees. Those who charge low fees don’t always produce quality work. The key is to find a low cost ghost writer who will quickly turn out quality work.

The only other disadvantage of article marketing is the actual time needed to actually submit your articles. Software can be used, but it is typically forbidden by most of the quality article sites around the world wide web. These sites prefer manual submissions, which can take a full day, or even longer,if you hope to submit to a large number of sites.

There is a way around this disavantage. You have a couple of choices. You can use article submission software for the less particular sites, and then submit to the top article sites manually, or you can hire a service to do manual submissions for you. The second option is highly recommended. The cost for submission services varies anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00 per article.

As you can see, the advantages do indeed outweigh the disadvantages, and all of the disadvantages do have a solution. Article marketing is and will remain the most cost effective form of marketing in existance for a very long time to come.

    One more disadvantage is if you can’t do it consistently for a long time. The effects of article marketing also depends on one’s consistency in submitting quality articles almost regularly in the first few months of marketing a site. If one can’t do this religiously, then, don’t fret, as you’ve mentioned there are contract workers/companies providing this service.
