 Great Houdini - this really works!
Never would have believed how writing some simple little
articles would put my website marketing into overdrive
until I tried it. These techniques worked for me, can't
imagine what they will do for someone who can actually
write!
If you haven't tried it, give it a go and see exactly what
article writing can do for your marketing efforts; you may
be pleasantly surprised.
Here are 10 powerful article marketing tips you should
apply to all the articles you write. These ideas will help
you discover the real power behind article marketing.
1. Information, Information, Information Don't ever
forget, the major reason anyone is reading your article is
for the information. Make sure your articles have at least
some! The more timely, the better.
2. Keep It Short And Simple Writing for the web and
ezines is different than writing for off-line
publications. Keep your writing brief and write in short
paragraphs. Be concise. Be precise. Talk directly to your
reader and trim any unnecessary fat. Be lean and
meaningful.
3. Put Your Reader's Major Benefit In The Title
Always put your readers first, give them the main reason
they should read your article in big bold letters at the
top of the page, i.e. in the title.
4. Take Full Advantage Of Article Directories
Kick-start your articles by submitting them to popular
online article directories. These already have a large
clientele looking for your articles.
Here's my killer five:
www.ezinearticles.com
www.goarticles.com
www.web-source.net
www.articlealley.com
www.buzzle.com
5. Use Autoresponders For Your Articles Set up all
your articles on autoresponders. Have a Master
Autoresponder - listing all your articles. Automate your
genius.
6. Post Articles On Your Site Place all your
articles on your site. This builds trust and
creditability. Not to mention all that 'keyword drawn'
traffic from the search engines.
7. Use RSS Feeds To Syndicate Your Articles Place
your articles in RSS Feeds and syndicate them to all
interested parties. RSS is Hot! Google Blog Search.
Microsoft's RSS Powered Longhorn. XML Sitemaps...
8. Use Affiliates If You Have Them Let your
affiliates brand your articles with their affiliate IDs
and promote your articles for you. Win-win situation.
Harness and harvest your affiliates' energy.
9. Cross Reference Your Articles Get more bang for
your links. Place links to your other articles in the
article you're writing. If you're offering helpful advice,
most ezine editors and webmasters will let you do this.
Self-promote. Self-pollinate.
10. Place Your Articles In An eBook Place your most
popular articles in an ebook that can be branded and
passed around. A great viral technique that works. Your
greatest hits for all the world to enjoy, again and again.
Happy writing - go get 'em!
