It’s been long known in the internet marketing circles that one of the most effective, economical and powerful ways to market your website, products or services is through article marketing!
In the old days of internet, I had to do my article marketing manually, now there are some real “tricks to the trade” that most people still haven’t discovered yet. In this article, I am going to show you what they are, how can they help you in delivering a whole new level of simplicity and power toward your article marketing effective, and to achieve your marketing business online success.
Step 1: Write One Article per Week
When you write your articles, keep it short and informative (good to keep it between 500-750 words), present solutions to problems that people in your niche are looking for, or, have trouble solving it by themselves. At the end of the article, include an author (your own information) “resource box” which contains a link to your website or blog.
Here are the benefits you will gain by write one article per week.
a) As your articles spread across the web (I’ll show you how to do it in a minutes), more and more people that interested in your niche will read it. They will come across your name and your content again and again. This could help you establish yourself as an expert in your niche.
People are not only read your articles, they are also learn and observe you, after they see you know what you are talking about; they will come to TRUST you. Once you have built trust among the readers, they will start next move – they will either buy from you (if you have a product or service to sell), or they will listen to your recommendations.
b) Search engines will fall in love with your articles and your unique content; as a result, massive back-links to your web pages to increase your position on search engine results pages can be created, at the same time, you can also earn as a true authority on your particular niche. That’s when your site gets listed at or near the very top of the search results for all your best search words.
I believe writing articles is not the problem for you; however, the things are really count is what you do with them.
Step 2: Submit the Articles Intelligently
In order for this “writing” strategy to really work, you need to get your articles out there, and get it published by hundreds of directories, blogs, ezines and websites toward your niche. This is what usually stops people dead in their tracks.
Submitting your articles manually would be very time consuming, scratch that, you would need a crew of about ten people doing it as a full-time job. It is not only involving lots of work and energy, it will also give you lots of headaches, because every time you finish a new article you’d have to start the entire process all over again. Plus, search engines are getting tougher and tougher on duplicate content. Thus you really need to send a different unique article to each place when you submitting your articles.
Don’t get discouraged if it’s starting to sound like a mountain of work to you, I totally understand you concern. That’s why you need a way to automate your article submissions.
There are programs and services available to do that for you. However, you need to be careful and get alert here. I’ve tried many of them and most of them fall far short of their promises. You know, some of them even get your site in trouble for duplicate content.
Rather than review all the different choices for article distribution and submission, I’ll go right to an article submission service that’s sort of an under-the-radar right now. If you do a little research on it, you’ll find that it’s far ahead of the rest of the pack. In fact, my own research uncovered many websites are using this article submission service – Content Coorner (CC). I use their service as well.
CC intelligent service submits your articles in a unique manner, plus they have a very large network of article directories that they can get your articles out there quickly.
Okay, now you know how to submit your articles and an easy way to automate the task, there’s only one more thing you have to do.
Step 3: Rinse and Repeat
That’s right, like any great marketing strategy, it’s only effective if you stick with it and write it frequently. You can outsource your writing project to others if you want, or you can spend a few hours a week write it by yourself. But the key is to stick with it!
Whether you’ve never tried article marketing strategy or you’ve tried them, it is a fact that articles can yield immediate traffic and sales.
