My friend Markus Allen has a new blog. I love Markus’ honesty among online marketers. He’s a regular guy slugging it out like the rest of us and he’s been honest as to why he’s doing this. He wants more financial breathing room. As the online stat junkie par excellance, he’s known for quite some time that he SHOULD be doing better with article marketing than he presently is.
He knows he “SHOULD” be able to create a stream of relatively passive income from articles generating adsense clicks and affiliate commissions. But to date that hadn’t happened for him. His latest project to make that happen is documented on this new blog. Now I’ll warn you up front, this is an affiliate link in case you want to purchase anything Markus sells. But you can read all his articles without buying anything. Here’s the link: Article Marketing Secrets
Now Markus’ goals are ambitious. He wants to generate $5,000 per month from Article Marketing. Hey, I’d love an extra $5,000 per month I didn’t have to claw and scrape for all the time – wouldn’t you?
But I also love it when someone works to document what they’re working on in this manner so I can SEE what’s going on. I’m sure they won’t tell me ALL their secrets (maybe Markus will) but I’ve learned to read between the lines.
So I look forward to following this with great interest!

I personally found his post on auto content generation very helpful. While we all love to write if we’re into blogging, legitimately syndicating content from other writers can help you build a niche blog more easily to be sure!

Sounds interesting and informative. My only tip would be to cover keyword research first. Otherwise you are pretty much wasting your time.
