So, you had no problem accumulating a nice collection of quality articles. That wasn’t so hard-but having the articles available is just the start for article marketing.
People are throwing tons of money at SEO gurus in vain attempts to find a magic bullet. Many are risking being banned permanently by Google with dangerous “Black Hat” tactics. Expensive PPC (pay-per-click) campaigns are sending would-be millionaires to the poorhouse.
Anyone who positions himself as an SEO expert and claims to be able to attract traffic finds their services in high demand. They demand high fees. Others use borderline illegal tactics that can lead these marketers to be banned by Google for “Black Hat” tactics.
Is there any solution?
Of course, there is. Although it has been proclaimed to be dead, article marketing is alive and well and still effective if used consistently and properly. Shift your article marketing into overdrive with article submissions that generate hundreds of unique articles that you can submit to hundreds of niche blogs and highly targeted article directories.
Article marketing is still one of the most cost-effective methods of driving tons of eager buyers, credit card in hand, straight to your website. It can almost overnight catapult you into increased profits, improved cash flow, and irresistible momentum.
One huge advantage of article marketing is the ability to take advantage of Google AdSense on the website you have created for your own product or service. Article marketing generates the visits to your site that will earn you additional income. Get enough traffic and you can market advertisement space on your website. Article marketing can make it all happen.
Now, I am not talking about any get-rich-quick scheme. They almost never work. The only people who make money off of them are the folks who sell the programs. What I am referring to is a totally reputable and legitimate way to market your articles online. It can work for any product in any market I can think of.
I am not talking theory here. I personally have seen this tactic increase traffic to one website by 3200% in less than a month
If you are building a business online in an area or niche that you love, you are generally more than happy to spread the word. Article marketing helps you spread the word. People interested in your message will come to you blog to see more of what you have to say.
Anything worth having requires effort and thought. Sit down with yourself or with others close to you and come up with topics you have knowledge about and love. What are your areas of expertise? What knowledge and skills do you have that you would enjoy sharing with others? What have other people admired about you that the online community could also appreciate? Come up with good ideas for interesting and useful articles. Make them reader friendly. Increased traffic to your website and interest in your product or service will be a natural by-product of the trust and respect you create – if you provide genuine value in your articles.
Why Does Article Marketing Work?
1. When you are able to flood the internet with lots of high-quality content, the search engines sit up and take notice. It’s sort of a take-off of that old Kevin Costner movie “Field of Dreams”. If you build it, they will come. Just concentrate on delivering the goods. The customers will come. All of those articles you have written and distributed online will be working for you 24/7. Write it once, and it keeps working forever. That’s why you want the content to be great. This is no place for mediocrity.
2. Puzzled or troubled consumers turn to the internet for information. They have a problem and often don’t know where to turn, and pray that the internet will have the answers they need. Your articles could be the answers to their prayers! Your business or service is your area of expertise. Your articles should display that expertise through useful information. You will have “pre-sold” yourself to anyone you help. They will remember that you were the expert who had the answers they needed, and when they want to make a purchase or obtain services, you are the one they will go to or recommend. Your credibility and reputation are your most precious assets, perhaps more so online even than offline.
3. Your article’s first job is to be rich in useful information that will answer questions or solve problems. Those you entertain and help will want to know more and the way to direct them to your website is by creating a “resource box” which links back to your blog or website. You can and should promote and explain your business or service at those sites. By making your article rich in content and full of useful links, the search engines will discover amazing numbers of websites with relevant quality content or web 2.0 properties that are connected back to your sites through links. This network of links that link back to you are the way search engines decide your site is the search result their users are looking for. Anyone who does a search on the web generally trusts the results. Those powerful search engines are now working for you, driving internet searchers to your site every hour of every day!
So, the steps to becoming an article marketing genius are simple: 1) write a compelling article about your niche that answers your prospective customers burning questions;
2) submit your proof-read and edited article to the top online article directories and ezine publishers; and
and 3) repeat this process at least once a week for every website you own. Enjoy the free publicity.
