Article Marketing: Quality Vs Quantity

QUESTION: (Anonymous) How do you differentiate a quality article from a quantity article?

This is an interesting question because how do you define a “good quality” article and why would you strive to create a bad one?

When I think of “Quality Article”, I am referring to an article that its purpose is to entice readers, create followers, and provide the reader unbelievable content.  I usually personally write these articles or I may pay a well-established (usually pricey) writer to do it for me.  These types of articles I usually put on my own websites as well as places where my name and my authority may be recognized (like eZineArticles, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).

Now the “Quantity Article” is usually done for the sole purpose of creating backlinks.   These DO need to be readible and usually the quality is not too bad.  Still, I usually would pay a lower priced author to write these types of articles and I may even go the extra step of “spinning” the article.  The can produce a lot of unique articles (and hopefully good backlinks) without the cost.

In fact, I usually have the “Quantity Articles” linking back to the “Quality Articles”, among other things.  It is just good SEO and Social Media Practice.

Who is Behind Marketing Mind?

Matthew BredelMy name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer.

OK, I admit it!  I “stole” the name “Evil Middleman” from Rob Crowie.  I just like it, so I went with it!

So what makes a person a middle man and why are they evil?

First, they are not necessarily “evil”, but in product sourcing, they are a big mistake!

Middlemen are essentially online retailers claiming to be wholesalers and dropshippers who offer prices lower than retail, but sell them to you, as a resaler, at prices higher than wholesale.

They are “in the middle”.

Sure, these sites can make product sourcing easy, but you are paying for it!  And in most cases, these middleman websites can sell to anyone (consumers and resalers).  Therefore, not only are you buying from them, but they can possibly be your direct competition, too.

The moral?  Avoid Middleman when sourcing products!  Go directly to the manufacturer or their distributor!  You can also use a service like Worldwide Brands to identify “true” wholesalers and dropshippers in your field.

Watch the video to learn how to first identify middlemen on the internet and then take the action to find true suppliers in your niche!

  2. After “understanding” what and how the middleman works, I see the internet in a whole new light, too. (I gotta admit, when I buy things now as a consumer, this is what I look for!) cheers…matt

  3. [...] I find this a fair question because I have spent a bit of time explaining what a middleman is and why to avoid them (specifically, my post “The Evil Middleman“). [...]
