Ten Article Marketing Tips
Article marketing involves sending your articles to as many free articles sites as possible. Search engines love free articles sites, and in return for your work, you are able to display a link to your website. This will definitely bring some traffic to your website. Consider the following tips when formulating your article marketing campaign. 1. Write well. Keep your paragraphs short and your tone conversational. Avoid using jargons that average people wouldn’t understand. But still make sure that your article is grammatically sound, flows well, and factually correct. 2. Write with focus. Pinpoint a subject you want to discuss. It should be relevant to your website or product, as the point here is to generate traffic for your site. Stick with that topic. 3. If you do not have the time to write, you could hire a ghostwriter to do the job for you. Fees for a 300-600 word article range from $5 to $15. 4. Your article should be informative and readable. The purpose of an article is to provide readers with something informative, something that they would enjoy reading. It can’t be just a sales pitch, and it shouldn’t read like an encyclopedia. 5. Strategically populate your article with a keyword that is relevant to your business. Search engines love article sites, and more often than not, each page is indexed. Make your article keyword-rich to invite those search engine spiders. 6. Format your resource box. All you need is a short introduction of you. One or two lines will be perfect. Read resource boxes of top-producing article writers for ideas. 7. Encourage your readers to distribute your article by expressly allowing them to republish it in their websites, or to e-mail it to their friends, provided that your resource box is kept intact. 8. Compile a list of all the free articles directories that you can find. Know the editorial guidelines for each, and if your article would fit them. Submit to as many sites as possible. Here are my ten favorite article directories:
www.ezinearticles.com www.goarticles.com www.article99.com www.articlebiz.com www.articlecrazy.com www.articledashboard.com www.articlelists.com www.articles24.com www.Article-Warehouse.com If you want a very comprehensive list of article sites, click here. 9. Do not stop writing! Write every day. The more you polish your skills, the easier it will get. This is a numbers game. The more articles you have distributed, the more chances you’ll have of being read by a lot of people. For help in producing tons of articles, read "Write An Article A Day the Easy Way". 10. Practice patience. Once your article is posted on numerous sites, more visitors are due to come. Give it time. Articles published today may still be bringing visitors to your website a month or a year from now.
