How Many Articles Should I Write For A Niche To Be Successful ?

It depends..
(what a great answer)

First, what is a successful niche to you ?
Maybe making 5-6 sales a week is success to you ?
Maybe making $100 per day is success to you ?
I’ve known people making over $400 per day, only with articles.. and that was just not enough !

But hey! Let’s be realistic here, and pretend that our goal is to achieve a good $100 per day.

Many people would be more than happy to make this much money, and this is a very reachable goal.

But before taking any conclusion regarding how many articles are needed, you will have to test your landing page.

No matter what you are selling, and no matter if you are advertising with PPC or not, you want to find the “conversion rate” of your landing page.

Basically, you want to know how many people out of 100 are likely to purchase your product.

Of course, to get significant numbers, you have to do testing for a little time.
And I know, conversion rate can be modified/improved in order to get more from our visitors, but that’s another story.

But to achieve your goal, I suggest you start testing a site by using Adwords PPC for a few days, and please, make sure you TRACK your clicks. (use Google Analytics)

Now.. if you have 2% conversion.. or no!
Let’s pretend you are just starting out, and worst case scenario;

You have a 1% conversion rate.
For every 100 people to your site, you make one sale.

Let’s say you make $40.

To make $100, you would need 250 visitors.

Since you are starting from scratch, we will pretend that there are no daily visitors to your site; No traffic from the search engines; And no other links than those articles.

In average, an ordinary article on ezinearticles can be seen between 30 & 100 times in it’s first day.. (sometimes it can be over xxxx’s views tho)

Let’s say 50 visitors per approved articles..

1: Start with EzineArticles.com
To get 250 visitors, you need to get 5 articles approved.
It is a bit of work to do, but what would you do for $100 per DAY ?

And even though it is boring, to get started, you need to do this steadily for.. I’d say a month.

Here is why :
By doing so, for 30 days, you should generate around 250 visitors daily, and about $100 in sales.
But while these articles are giving you direct traffic, they will also end up being ranked on Google too.. Because you are a smart marketer, and you’ve made your articles keyword relevant.

One last supposition : Let’s say that every new articles you write ENDS UP giving you ONE daily visitors. It will probably be more than that.. but let’s say that after the first “release-rush” you get 1 daily per article (it is more than that).

After a month, not only have you made your $100 daily, but you now have a minimum of 150 daily visitors, resulting in 1 to 2 sales on automation ! Keep going + create more backlinks and you are good to go.

Once there, sky is the limit.

If you want to learn ways to generate tons of backlinks to your site, I’ve also written a post about backlinks.

What you just read above is one of the many possible action plans to get your $100 per day !

Enjoy,

And keep smiling !
