Comparing niche marketing and an Internet marketing niche is equivalent to comparing apples with oranges. Apples and oranges are both fruit. Niche marketing and an Internet Marketing niche are both forms of Internet marketing but as different as apples are from oranges.
The term ‘niche marketing’ means selling a specific product to a specific type of buyer. There are far less competitive niches than an Internet marketing niche. Most niche markets are more open to the latest marketing strategies, as well. Small niche markets are not over stocked with gurus and wise men and are much easier for the beginning marketer to break into.
A niche market allows you to promote your own niche product or that of a niche affiliate product. There is a niche market for anything and everything you can imagine. All it takes to break into a niche market is a good idea, a good product created by you or someone else that will appeal to certain people, some advertising and the desire to succeed.
The Internet marketing niche, on the other hand, means that you will be promoting your own Internet marketing product. This is a very crowded field of endeavor and really difficult to break into. It’s a world filled with gurus and wise men who have been playing and winning the game for a long time. This doesn’t mean that it is impossible to cash in on the Internet marketing niche because, of course, you can.
It is a world still built on demand and that means that if you have a product that can compete and if you have the willingness to play hard ball with the big boys then you can succeed at the Internet marketing niche game. Just be aware that there are easier niche market nuts to crack.
Comparing niche marketing and an Internet marketing niche is equivalent to comparing apples with oranges. Apples and oranges are both fruit. Niche marketing and an Internet Marketing niche are both forms of Internet marketing but as different as apples are from oranges.

How Does Internet Article Marketing Work?
As you know, the world wide web is made up of many websites. These sites all contain content. People search for content about a specific subject. They find the information by using a search engine. What search engines do is ’spider’ or ‘crawl’ the internet visiting each page. They take this content and index it using the descriptions and keywords found on the page.
The search engines are able to give you the best information possible by carefully indexing and cataloging what they find by using the information that they discovered when they were crawling the internet. The information that they provide to you has to closely relate to the search term that you used as well as be accurate. When written well, articles are considered a very good source of information.
For websites to keep visitors returning to their websites, a webmaster has to give their visitors accurate, interesting and timely information. This aspect is crucial for someone who maintains a daily blog. If the blogger wants to climb high and remain there in the search results for his given niche, he has to make posts to his blog every day.
As I’m sure you are aware, you need to post everyday to your website, and this can gobble up alot of your valuable time. As a webmaster, you can supplement the content on your site with quality, well-written articles authored by other people. The only requirement is that you leave the author’s resource box intact including keeping the links live if that is how they were when you retrieved the article from the article directory.
What is an Article Directory?
An article directory is composed of a big database of articles about a variety of subjects in a variety of categories. People who write articles are encouraged to submit their articles there. Webmasters, that’s usually you- are able to gather free articles for posting on their own websites as long as they credit the original author by leaving the resource box intact including the author’s links. Article directories hold alot of information about almost any subject that you can think up. There are probably some subjects that you probably haven’t even thought of that you could find there.
You’ll find specialized article directories which only accept articles whose subject is about certain niches such as computer technology, or skin care. You just need to read the submission rules and each directory to see what is permissible and what is not. Most topics are allowed as long as they don’t promote hate speech or advocate violence.
How Do I Benefit In Return For Submitting My Articles To The Article Directories?
After the last paragraph in the article, there is a place where the author can place their author’s resource box. This resource box usually contains a couple of sentences about the author and another sentence or two with a link embedded pointing the visitor to the blog or website of the author.
Submitting your articles to an article directory has many benefits. You not only get free marketing from it, but you get lots of exposure. You can turn yourself into an expert. It creates a win-win situation for both you and the publishers that get to use your articles.
Research is Important
Like any facet of marketing, internet article marketing is no different. You just have to research the subjects of your articles. You can do this research by simply looking at and visiting and reading forums which center around your subject. Pay attention to what people are “talking about”. Now that you have chosen your topic, or probably several of them to write about, it shouldn’t be too hard to be able to write an article which is between 250-750 words.
I’ve Written My Article, Now What?
First thing to do is to post your article on your website or blog. Wait a couple of weeks to a month until your article has been indexed in the search engines. You’ll be able to tell by searching for your article title in quotation marks. After you find it, it’s alright to submit it to the article directories. This is the way to do it in order to minimize chances of any duplicate content penalties.
Wait a month? Are you Serious?
There is a new method of writing unique versions and submitting them to your articles directories and your own website. It’s possible to easily submit this article to over 700 websites as well. This serves two purposes- first, you aren’t trashing the article directories with more duplicant content, they get enough of that everyday. All you have to do is pick a few articles from one of the top directories, and search for them and then read the links you find and you’ll see how almost completely, if not ‘comepletely’ the articles are word for word the same as on other sites.

You can write articles and place them into free directories which are basically free websites. You (or the writer) places these articles there for the purpose of promoting information about yourself and/or business. A byline is placed under the article to show who owns it (you) and can contact you or visit your website to obtain additional information about you or your products or your services.
Ariticles placed into directories in this manner are a powerful way to make you money. This is a strong technique for exposing people to your business. Particularly powerful is the fact that the only people who contact you from this method are people who have an interest in your business services or products. Thus they are prequalified prospects. Since you are viewed as an experienced person in their area of interest they will readily send you an e-mail or visit your website. You could even hire a writer to write your article for you if you don’t want to write it yourself. The cost or that would be quickly recouped from your increase in business. After that everything is pure profit. However, you will find that it is not difficult to write your own article if you give it a try. Artiles generate money for you in a muiltitude of ways. You could make money from affiliate sales or from selling your own product or services, or from the re-posting of your article by other websites.
To look at a real life example let’s assume you are an accountant working from home. You develop an article on an accounting subject and you place the article on various article directories. Prospective customers with an interest or need in the accounting area will read your article and quickly become aware that you have the expertise they need to accomplish a job for them. These people will visit your website or e-mail you to discuss their need. As a result, your article brought you a potential new customer who might be an ongoing repeat customer, but if not, will earn you a profit at least once.
Not only that, your article will now appear on a free directory where other affiliate websites about accounting will certainly use your article as copy for their website. And they will have to place your byline to your article and this will bring even more traffice to you due to the re-posting of your article. This is how you will make even more money from the traffic they get to their website.
Many directories are available. The best method is to place your article on many directories. A submission service can be used to place your article for you or you can do it yourself. This is one of the most powerfull methods of promoting your business on the internet and thus make money submitting articles to directories.
