If you’re thinking of getting into article marketing, there are two kinds of article marketers. Before you start, you will probably want to decide which kind you want to be, not that you can’t be both. But it’s important that you know the difference. This article is going to discuss the differences between the two.

You’re probably wondering what brought this subject up in my mind. Well, over at the Warrior Forum, the question came up, “When you think of article marketing, who do you think of?” My name was one of the ones mentioned. But this got me thinking. See, I’m one type of article marketer. But there is another type that is probably just as effective…if not more so.

Your first type of article marketer is the guy who puts his personal signature on each article he submits. In other words, he writes these articles himself. The reason is simple. He’s trying to establish himself as a brand and as an authority in his niche. He is looking to make a name for himself. On the plus side, this certainly does get him noticed. On the minus side, it’s very time consuming as he’s writing every article personally. Try doing this if you want to dominate 100 different niches. It’s close to impossible.

Then you have your other type of article marketer. This is the guy who hires a team of writers. He probably never even wrote an article a day in his life, or very few of them. He’ll, at most, proof the articles that he has written for him. On the plus side, by hiring writers, you can get a ton of articles written for many niches. On the minus side, this is very expensive and if you’re thinking of making a name for yourself, forget it.

So, which one is better? Well, I guess that depends on who you ask. For the person who is looking for quantity, the latter is probably going to be his choice. However, for the person who wants to be known (and let’s face it, there are a lot of us out there) the personal touch is probably the method of choice. The only person who can decide what’s best for YOU is YOU. Make no mistake about it. You can make just as much money with either method.

When you think of article marketing, who do YOU think of? That’s probably the person you want to copy.
