9 Great Article Marketing Tips
Article Marketing Tips
Article marketing can be a big asset for your business but there are just a few things you need to know which I have listed below to help you.
1. First, you have to make sure that whatever you are writing about is relevant. If you know for a fact that your product could be very useful, then do some research about it and then end the article with a link to your website. Before you upload the article, check if the site you plan to put this on has this as one of their topics.
2. Just like what you read in the newspaper or see on television, the article must be both timely and of value to your visitors. This will allow you to stay in touch with what is happening in the world. One good way is signing up with a site that gives you alerts with regards to certain topics. Sign up to their RSS feed.
3. Some authors post just one article and think that’s it but just like movie producers in Hollywood, you should post a sequel to this because there could already be new information available which you could share to the public which will be of value to them. You will not get recognition if you don’t post regularly.
4. You should also make your articles go viral. You could become a guest author on someone elses website. By doing this it means that it will become added revenue for you. What this simply means is allowing other people to publish your article just as long as nothing is changed and you are given credit for it.
5. Each article you write must be short and simple. I have always thought that about 500 words is long enough to get your message and value over to readers. It must be short so that it will not bore the reader. Also simple so that they will be able to understand the message you are trying to convey. Don’t get too technical ! If I see something that looks too technical then I tend to close it and go on to the next one.
6. Just how many articles must your write to increase traffic? The good news is that you only need 2 to get things started. A good title will be “ How To .. do something” and “ x number of tips for something.” If this catches their interest, that person will most likely click on the link to your site and you could possibly have a customer. The bottom line is that it increases web traffic.
7. If you are going to put your articles on an article directory site like Ezine Articles or one of the many other sites you could stop at just 2 articles to promote your site. If you have other products, and want to be a guest author you can write articles on it as well and then mention in the resource box. This is known as cross-referencing which a lot of webmasters allow their contributors to do.
8. Besides posting your written work on other websites, don’t forget to also put these on your own. If you have written 10 or more articles about the same topic, you could put these together to create an e-book and then pass this along for free. Again, if people like what is written there then people won’t mind reading it several times.
9. Besides posting on websites, make use of RSS feeds. There are plenty of them around so make use of it.
There are two ways to get into article marketing. The first is to write it yourself and just hope that people will appreciate your writing style. The other is to hire someone to do it. Some charge by the hour while others charge per word. It may be worth it if this increases traffic to your site.
By following these article marketing tips, it won’t be long before you get a lot of hits.
