Social Media Marketing or Article Marketing?

[calvin]

Hi...

Actually, i have a day job and am able to pursue IM just part-time...So i rally usually fall short of time... So i wanted to ask if you had to make a choice would you go for article marketing or social media marketing.... I can't outsource the article writing and both these methods consume time..So i feel i should concentrate only on one of these...Any suggestions?

Hi Calvin..
Well it is not easy to choose between the two..I generally prefer writing around 5 articles a week and do some social bookmarking , posts etc almost everyday..
     Both of these tactics been quite useful in generating traffic for me...
 Although i might tilt more in favour towards article marketing... They have more dedicated traffic....
 But social media has also been a good source for me... So i do it as a routine...I think in your case probably pursuing article marketing would be a good idea...

I would say both these techniques should go together...
     What i would suggest is you do around 6 articles every week ... And You could join various networks like twitter, do forum posting,blogs, and social bookmarking... But  everyday for around an hour... That should make it easy for you to concentrate on other tasks as well...But if you really feel short on time, then article marketing is your answer...

I agree with kelly and dr.evil.....If you really have to make a choice.. probably article marketing it is then.. But i reckon soon you'l have to do via social media as well...Because lot of trafficis generated through it..In fact nowadays both these tactics are part of traffic generation strategy....
