How Article Marketing Can Promote Your Site
If done correctly and with a bit of personal flair, article marketing can become one of the most lethal weapons in your Internet marketing arsenal.
Article marketing can bear excellent fruit for the individual that takes this technique seriously.
It all begins with a key component called content.
Content that is relevant and adds value to the lives of your target market.
Most articles that are published on the web are between 250 and 750 words.
I would say that in order to seriously reap the rewards of article marketing you've got to write at least 30 articles per month geared towards your particular market.
Many people find it extremely difficult to write one article, let alone 30 articles per month on a long-term basis.
Like anything in life it takes practice.
It really helps if the topic you're writing about interests you and that you have a passion for it.
That way the ideas can flow easily from your mind and you can begin to develop an outline for your article structures.
What are the benefits of article marketing? Basically, in a nutshell, it's the most cost effective way to promote your business online, period.
The only investment is your time and expertise.
Always write articles that contain links to your website.
More than likely after you have submitted your article to the many article directories, your piece of content, along with a link to your website, will be picked up by many other websites hungry for content.
Remember that content is the name of the game on the web.
In order for website owners to keep getting eyeballs to their pages they have to constantly keep updating their websites.
They are actually picking up your articles at no cost as long as they agree to publish your article intact.
That means it must include your bio box which has all the pertinent information about you that you wish to share with the world.
They also must publish your article with whatever links you have placed in your text.
Your message, your company, your product, your links, will spread virally throughout the web just by writing articles.
Once you get the hang of it you'll wish you would have done it sooner.
One thing to consider is to hire a ghost writer if you're game to spending the money and don't have too much time on your hands.
Either way it's highly effective.
