There is no question that writing a good original article can be daunting and challenging for some of us. If you can't do it yourself then your best bet might be to get a professional article writer to do it for you. Whether this approach is right or wrong, I'm not sure. The cost of good rich articles in your niche can be quite expensive and so you will have pitch-by-day and fly-by-night businesses who will say that they can provide 100 articles for you for $5 and so you think that this is a bargain, so you will bypass the genuine article writer who could give you 10 high quality content article for $60 for 100 articles which these fake businesses are selling to newbie or even experienced business owners. The problem with this is that your 100 articles for $5 will be in the hands of probably 500 more penny-wise newbies and therefore you will have duplicated articles being circulated around the internet which can certainly do more harm than good to your website as you will be penalized for plagiarism by Article submission sites and not only that, Google can come down heavy on your website for this. Your customers and potential customers will probably question your credibility. This can have serious effect on your business. I was being penny-wise, trying to contain my advertising budget by purchasing duplicate useless $5 articles from fake businesses that tries to make money at the expense of others. Unfortunately, these articles were useless as a lot more people have the same article. I took the correct approach of emailing the seller and inquiring about these articles before purchase. Doing Some Research is always GoodMy inquiry was this; "Hello seller, I have browsed your website and found that you are selling 100 mobile marketing articles for $5 and I would like for you to confirm that I can use these articles on my website 'as is' without even spinning them, before I make my purchase". I awaited their response via email and their response was, " Hi, thanks for your inquiry, you are free to use these articles 'as is' on your site, you can edit them and make them your own". With that response, I was confident that I had made an informed decision, so I made my purchase. I downloaded the articles and was excited that I had 100 unique articles that nobody else had. I opened the first article and read it through and I have to say that they were good articles for my niche, but the shock came when I was getting ready to upload the very first one to an article submission site. I used an online checking tool to browse the article for duplicate copies and found that over 30 different sites have the same word for word article. Wow, luckily I only paid $5 for a pile of trash. I bypass 10 genuine articles for more money which would have done me good, for 100 duplicate articles at a whopping $5 which are useless to my need. I did not even test the other 99 articles as they are definitely all duplicated. If it is too good to be true, it is probably true. My advice is, learn from my $5 mistake and take the time to research and write your own unique articles, this is the best way forward. However, if you are not a good writer like myself, get a genuine ghost writer to write quality articles for your brand. It might be expensive but at least you will benefit in the end. You won't be POUND FOOLISH like me. Good luck on ranking your site. Hence, I have answered the title; The Naked Truth About Penny-wise and Pound-foolish Online Marketing.
