Article Marketing: How can 2 URLs Equal to Pure Champagne

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

If you are using articles to promote your business then I don’t need to tell you that including the URL to your website in the resource box at the end of your articles represents payment for the hard work involved in writing and submitting those articles. But, if you’re including just one URL, instead of the two allowed my many article announcement sites, then your reward could come in the form or orange juice instead of champagne. One of the first rules of marketing, which applies whether you’re writing sales copy or an article to promote your business, is to give your reader one simple message and, having delivered that message, to clearly ask that reader to take one single action. For this reason, people often believe that your article resource box should contain just one single call to action and, accordingly, just one single URL link. And I would agree wholeheartedly, if it were not for one simple thing - the search engines. Yes, article marketing is indeed about getting your message out to as wide an audience as possible so that they can read it and, hopefully, click through to visit your website. But it is also very much about getting your article posted on websites across the internet and building links to please the search engines - particularly Google and Yahoo. Now the subject of building links to please the search engines is a little beyond the scope of this short article, but I’d like to give you just one example of why I believe that you’re leaving money on the table if you don’t add a second link to your resource box. Suppose your article is posted on a website and that the page containing your article has a PR (Google Page Ranking) of say 4, which is derived from a points score given to the page by Google. For a PR4 page this scores could fall anywhere within a fairly broad range, but might for the sake of illustration be 3000 points. This page, through your resource box link back to your website will pass some of that PR to your own website page. Exactly how much will depend on a number of factors, including the total number of links on the page that contains your article. But, If there are a total of 10 links, then your resource box link could pass somewhere in the region of 250 points back to your website page. Enough to give that page a PR3 ranking from this one link alone. But suppose that instead of having just a single link in your resource box you have two. The page containing your article will now have a total of 11 links and each will pass a slightly lower score, of perhaps 230 points, but this is still enough to give not one but now two pages on your site a PR3 ranking. Now take this small illustration and imagine your article being posted on hundreds of websites, many with little or no PR, but others adding your article to PR4, PR5 or even PR6 pages. If you think that getting your article on a PR5 or PR6 page is dreaming believe me it isn’t. I know from experience that this article will appear on several PR5 and PR6 pages within 24 to 48 hours of my submitting it. Now, take this illustration one step further and image submitting not one article, but hundreds of articles. While article writing is still very much about getting your message out to a wide audience of readers, it is also increasingly about building link popularity with the search engines and gaining PR to raise your profile in the search engine listings. Love or hate the search engines they play an increasingly important role in promoting your business and your article resource box can play a vital role in ensuring that you get those champagne top listings, rather than those orange juice second page spots

An Easy Way to Write an E-book

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Research Tips For Finding A Profitable eBook Topic

Over the last 5 years, eBooks have been selling like hot cakes. Interestingly, if you study the eBook market, you would realize that a majority of websites or even individuals who sell eBooks may not be great writers themselves.

Professional writers can be hired at very reasonable costs to write an book. There are writing mentors or coaches out there that will assist you in that part of the process if need be.

What’s important is for you to bring in a knowledge, passion, or belief in your subject. That’s what makes writing sell in the first place. Anyone can be taught how to put the words down; it’s what is being said that is important.

Alternatively, writing the book yourself, even without prior experience is certainly an option. Here are several guidelines and tips for getting started writing your next eBook .

************************************************
The First Few Steps To Your First eBook
************************************************

eBooks deliver complete, instantly available, expert knowledge in a single, easily handled package. Creating an eBook may not require prior experience, but it certainly requires careful planning and considerable groundwork.

You create eBooks with a focus of building an ongoing, lifelong multiple stream of income. In addition, eBooks should be created with the aim of raising your credibility and trust ratings with clients or customers.

Selling eBooks comprises of three phases:
1) Researching and developing an idea for the book
2) Writing the eBook
3) Marketing the eBook

In this we’re going to focus on how to research and find a profitable idea to write about.

************************************************
Researching Topics
************************************************

The Internet is primarily used to communicate, entertain, educate and research. It is thus no wonder that information-intensive eBooks are the most popular online products at present.

How do you decide on a subject for your eBook?

The simple answer is research, research, and more research.

Your main objective is to write on a subject that has long term appeal. After all, you would like to derive as much profit out of your eBook as possible. It’s necessary that your subject does not get outdated in a couple of months after you wrote it – otherwise it’s going to need continually updating.

The best way to choose a topic is to figure out what people look for. This can be done by analyzing top searches at Search Engines. Many search engines as well as other popular portals such as Search Terms keep track of the most popular searches over a period. Besides, there are many other tools such the Keyword Live Software from Analog X that monitors top search terms at major Search Engines. You could use these lists to figure out the most popular subjects.

The next step is to carefully analyze some of the most popular subjects. You can use popular keyword search tools such as WordTracker or Overture’s Search Term Tool to determine popular search terms similar or relevant to the one’s you have listed.

This will give you a much more specific and focused list to work from. However, deciding to write an eBook based on a popular search term may not be a very smart idea. The key is to establish the exact need of the people you are targeting.

There may be many eBooks that target the same subject. However, most of them would probably be devoid of some aspect of the subject. Unless your eBook fills this void, it would not be a success.

Creating the eBook without any writing experience is not difficult. With a little bit of research and learning you can create an eBook that is workable. The toughest part is to get hold of a killer idea. After all, eBooks are all about ideas — the better your idea, the higher your sales.

A Guide Of Article Writing - Writing a Quality Article

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Writing a quality article is not a difficult thing provided that we prepare it good before our writing and focus on the readers that we hope them to read on.

We should prepare an outline of the article, which we want to write about. This will help bringing the concept of the article into sharper focus. This outline includes a heading, introduction, body and the conclusion. Always decide on the content of the article in advance. We should always compile a list of possible material for us to consult. This can include documents, reference book and people we talk to.

The introduction part introduces the problem you will be writing in your article or write a simple story that you encountered with the problem. The body will discuss all the methods of solution to the problem you encountered in the introduction. Break up each point into separate paragraphs and keep them to about 5-7 lines. You may want to create a sub-heading for each point. This makes it easier to read as most people will scan your article when reading it online. The language which we use should be simple and straight. The article should be written in such a way so that people finds it resourceful and at the same time can get benefit on the information from it. The conclusion part always summarizes the whole article in few lines, so that even if the reader doesn’t read the whole article, it can at least get a concept of it by just reading the conclusion.

Most of the quality articles are written in informal style, like we would explain our situation to a friend. Don’t worry too much about correcting mistakes or how it sounds. This may interrupt the flow of thoughts you want to write about. You can always correct them later. After finish writing your article, run it through a spell checker first, then read it through several times to check for spelling mistakes the spell checker may have missed and to correct the grammar and punctuation. You need to ensure it flows well by clearly identifying the problem, providing a solution method and concluding with an action step or steps. Get your friend else to read it over. Often they will find the mistakes that you missed.

It’s not difficult to express ourselves through writing articles and it feels even more good when others like your work. So, keeping just small things in mind, like what you want to write, who you should write, using simple language and the other notes for writing the article, you can always start writing whenever you want. Start writing now!

Article Marketing Just Got Easier For Content Publishers - Article Marketing

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is the BIG Buzz around the Internet these days because of its Powerful ability to syndicate content effortlessly and instantly across the Internet to any website and/or subscriber who subscribed to that particular RSS Feed with a 100% GUARANTEED delivery.

What other technology online can guarantee you that?

Email? I don’t think so.

RSS is it Period!

And the crazy thing is, everybody who publishes content on their website on a regular basis is quickly adapting because of the many benefits RSS offers because lets face it, updating content manually on any given website is a very time consuming task, especially when you have to do it on a Day In and Day Out basis.

But, by having an RSS enabled website, not only do you get high quality content INSTANTLY delivered, you can now give your audience more content with less work on your part leaving you more time to focus on other important tasks you might have sitting on the back burner when you have time.

This is the main benefit RSS Syndication gives the website owner and/or valued subscriber.

Now that you have some idea of how RSS can simplify updating content on any given website, what does this have to do with Article Marketing and how does it benefit the content publisher who writes the articles?

Well lets talk about it.

We all know that content is the life blood of the Internet and is why most people come online right?

We also know that RSS syndicates content to whatever website that is RSS enabled and/or subscriber who uses an RSS aggregator.

The BIG question that’s probably floating around in your head is how do Article Publishers who write the articles benefit from RSS Syndication?

The answer is simple really.

Ever heard the phrase “The Internet Is Nothing More Then a Numbers Game”?

If not, now you have and that is exactly what RSS Syndication will do for anybody who does or is just starting out can expect to benefit from by joining the Article Marketing game.

Let’s talk about this a little more so it’s clear in your mind.

Let’s say you write your first article and your manage to locate, lets say 20 Article Directories that offer FREE Article Submissions and offer RSS Feeds to website owners and to the general public to use.

And let’s say that those 20 Article Directories collected all their RSS Feeds and submitted them to all the TOP RSS Directories on the web so that website owners and/or people with RSS Aggregators can locate those RSS Feeds so they can subscribe to them.

You with me so far?

Now, you go and submit your article to all 20 Article Directories and wait for their reply to see if your article got accepted.

You check your Inbox and find that all 20 article directories accepted your article into their database and would be syndicating it within the next 24 hours.

Notice I said the word “syndicating”. That’s because once your article is approved by that article directory and because these article directories use RSS technology to syndicate NEW content to whoever is subscribed, guess what happens to your article?

It gets syndicated to whoever is subscribed to that RSS Feed. So if you submitted to all 20 article directories under whatever category, and there were 200 subscribers per article directory subscribed to that RSS Feed, guess how many potential customers you will possibly come in contact with through your articles Resource Box?

Lets do the math how’s 4000 potential subscribers, which means you have a potential of receiving 4000 potential visitors to your website of choice Absolutely FREE!

That’s the power of RSS Syndication and is WHY article marketing is becoming one of the #1 ways to promote ANY website online.

I wrote this article just as a quick example of what RSS Technology can do for anyone using it on their websites and for those who use articles as part of their website promotion strategy so you can see how RSS will get your articles more exposure with NO extra work on your part.

I truly hope you see the benefits I outlined within this article and hope you take the necessary steps to getting started with writing your own articles, if you’re not already, so you too can benefit from RSS Syndication like everyone else.

Tips related Article marketing career

Friday, October 10th, 2008

When the term “submission” was mentioned among the Internet Marketing groups in the past, the first thing that came to mind is the old practice of submitting urls to the search engines in order to get indexed. Perhaps the second thing is when we all used to submit our classified ads to those huge FFA sites. But now days, all the talk is about submitting articles to the article directories.

Unfortunately, many people who are now submitting articles fail to realize that it’s quite a different type of submission process than back in the “old days.”

Now we have keywords and key phrases to contend with and page rank and back link popularity as well. And even the objectives are different than simply getting someone else to see what you’ve submitted.

Today, we have the issue of branding and portraying oneself as an expert in one’s field. Plus the information people go looking on the Internet for seems to be on a much more sophisticated level than before.

Yes, marketing goes far beyond the simple submission of urls, classifieds, and banners. People want to know that the information they get is real, and that it comes from someone who knows what they’re talking about.

Here’s some tips on how to achieve a successful article marketing career that’ll keep you up with the times, and assure yourself that people will read and believe what you have to say . . .

1. The Times They Are a Changing’

Marketing has changed and you need to change with it. You can’t just throw your information out on the web and expect it to be picked up. Article marketing is vastly different than merely submitting a URL to the search engines.

Now your information has to be informative, well written, authoritatively convincing, and most of all targeted.

So you have to know what you’re talking about, say it in a way that people will respect as knowledgeable, and put it where people who might find it interesting can locate it.

This takes research in both your topic and in finding just the right place to lay it out in. For the most part, the first, research, is your hurdle to jump over. However, most article directories make targeting easy by providing lots of categories to place your article into.

These categories are your first line of keyword placement. If a person wants to know about sports, they’ll go to an article directory and look in the sports categories. So it only makes sense to make sure your article about sports make it there for them to see.

Putting a sports article in a health or cooking category would spell certain doom for any chance that sport enthusiasts would find it.

It’s really sad to see articles that were obviously well researched landing in irrelevant categories on the article directories. A true waste of precious time!

Do yourself a favor and take the extra few seconds, when submitting your article, to put it in the most relevant category you can find. If a good category isn’t present on a certain directory, you’d be better off to skip your submission and write to the directory owner to request the category be added, than to submit just anywhere on the site.

Wipe out the old thinking that all you need to do is get your submissions out there. Target, target, target for the best results.

2. Be the Teacher

this brings us back to research. A teacher is respected when they can dole out information that their students didn’t already know. A teacher is also respected when that information is doled out coherently and in an understandable fashion.

So to be respected as a teacher, or as we like to call it in the marketing world, an expert in your field, you need to make a point and make sense when you make it.

Pick a topic that you know something about and learn something else about it that you didn’t already know. Chances are, unless you’re brand new to the business, if you learn something new, it’ll be new to most of your readers too.

Draw a map from point A to point B so your readers can clearly see how you’re building up the knowledge in a logical and complimentary process.

Be accurate in your statements. Don’t make stuff up, because it’ll come back to haunt you. If you come up with a brand new approach or idea for something, treat it like any scientific hypothesis. Test it out before you launch the concept on others. Make sure it’ll work for you first, or you’ll be laughed right out of business.

And finally, make sure you don’t turn people off by your spelling or misuse of the vernacular. Most people will be instantly turned away if your grammar is off. Spell check, have a friend read your article first before submitting, spell check again, read it out loud, and most importantly, spell check.

3. Make Your Mark

there are many novelist who are well known for a particular style of writing. Take Ann Rice for example, who’s Vampire Chronicles defined the new age of horror. Her name is synonymous with her genre!

But did you know she also writes romance novels? Most people don’t because she uses a pseudonym when she ventures beyond the Vampire Lestat and his cohorts.

The point here is that, as Ann Rice, she’s branded as a horror novelist and, in order to maintain that branding, she uses another name for her other styles of writing.

To be an expert in your field, you too need to brand yourself so that your name becomes synonymous with what you write about. To do that, you need to stay within a particular field and only that field.

If you want to write about other things, then use a pseudonym like Ann Rice and so many other writers do.

The more you write about a specific topic, the more people will see you as an expert on that topic. The wider range of topics you write about, the less knowledgeable you’ll appear to be in any one of them.

4. Make Each Article Count

to summarize, take your article writing and submitting seriously. You wouldn’t write a resume haphazardly or send it to employers, who had nothing to do with your line of work, would you? Use your keywords and especially your category choices wisely.

When you write, teach, when you teach, know the subject you’re teaching. And before everyone else, teach yourself what to teach about.

Stay within your realm of expertise and the world will regard you as an expert

Article marketing — how to make it profitable by the latest methods.

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Thanks to article marketing, there has been a surge of interest in the new methodology of Internet marketing.  Look at these points  to see how article marketing can be turned  into a profitable business.

Do you want to speed up the process of getting the benefits that article marketing can offer? Would you prefer to work as hard as you can rather than sit on your couch and wait for your numbers to go up in the next couple of months? Then, you will need to accelerate your marketing strategies so you can easily pull up your numbers in no time. Here’s how you can exactly do that:

1. Quality of your articles. This is one element that you should never take for granted as this your success in this marketing tool largely depends on it. Always make sure that the articles you submit online are well-written, informative, content-rich, useful, scannable, short, direct to the point, and highly relevant to the needs and demands of your potential clients in short, they must be worth reading and worth your readers’ time. When you are able to incorporate all these elements on all of your copies, you can be assured that your articles will generate the right kind of attention online and they will surely be widely republished by other bloggers, ezine publishers, marketers, and online entrepreneurs.

2. Quantity of your articles. One of the best things that you can do to accelerate your article marketing is to multiply the number of your articles so you can get more inbound links for your website and so you can further strengthen your expert status online. If you have money to spare, I strongly suggest that you hire reliable and competent article writers to do the legwork for you. Just make sure that they are also experts or at least familiar with your chosen niche. If you’d rather do all the hard work, I suggest that you spend more time writing and write short articles as these are easier and much quicker to write.

3. Bank on your resource box. With so many information available in the internet, emphasizing the importance of resource box in article marketing, I am surprised that there are still article marketers who choose to simply ignore this element. Instead of making their resource box compelling, they just leave their website’s URL there. If you want to easily increase your conversion rate, you need to make this element compelling and enticing as much as possible. Aside from the link of your website, you must also include your name, problems that your solve, your expertise, an enticing call to action and powerful elevator pitch.

Article Marketing Services and Tools

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

There are a lot of services and tools available out there when it comes to article marketing.

Article marketing is something done by a lot of people. As people become more proficient in article marketing, they tend to pass that knowledge onto others. The means that they use in order to pass that knowledge along can be different.

Some of these differences are reflected in the services and tools that are available online. Most of the article marketing services and tools, whether you are talking about search engine marketing, SEO or something else, can be divided into a number of different categories. The main ones are discussed below.

Submission Tool: Submission tools are arguably the first article marketing tools to appear online. These are tools that can do one of two things. They can either help you send one article to a number of different article websites, or they can help you send permutations of your article to the same website.

Either way, you are getting multiple back links to your website for the price of one written article and ultimately that is going to be good for SEO efforts you might have going. One of the main purposes of article marketing is to augment search engine marketing strategies through SEO and submission tools can help greatly in the accomplishment of that purpose.

Originality Checker: The originality checker is a lot more recent than the submission tool for articles. However, more people will use the originality checker in their daily article marketing.

This is because the originality checker allows people to discover whether their article is original content, or whether it is going to be seen as being plagiarized. Websites that have content that Google considers plagiarized will be banished to Google supplemental results and ultimately that will mean bad things for your SEO efforts.

Search engine marketing relies on original content and originality checkers allow you to make sure that your content is original. Two good examples of originality checkers online are Cityscape and Article Checker; the latter is completely free.

Submission Strategist: A submission strategist is not a tool, but rather a service.

You have doubtless already come across websites professing to have the best article marketing services around. These websites essentially have staff on them that have a lot of experience in article marketing. This experience allows them to know what articles should be submitted where.

This experience can mean great things for your search engine marketing efforts because submitting the right articles to the right places can really increase your SEO.

Part of SEO is efficiency, not just quantity and therefore a submission strategist might be a good idea if you have the money to spare.

Writer: Of course, some people want to do article marketing but are prevented from it because they are not capable of writing.

Therefore, a writer might be a very good article marketing service for you to hire, because they can make article marketing possible. A writer will be able to write good and original content. A writer will be able to write content that is rich with keywords. A writer will be able to write content that the search engines will eat up.

Then, all you have to do is take the writer’s content and post it to the article websites and you will have a very good article marketing campaign going.

These are some of the main tools and services available out there for people interested in article marketing. If you are truly interested in article marketing, you will want to look at one or all of these services at some point.

While you might be a good writer, chances are you are not a good article marketer and even if you are you are going to need to want to have original articles. You will also want to have smart submissions and cut down on your own work. These tools and services help you accomplish everything you need to in order to be a good article marketer.

Why We Use Two Urls In Article

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

If you are using articles to promote your business then I don’t need to tell you that including the URL to your website in the resource box at the end of your articles represents payment for the hard work involved in writing and submitting those articles.

But, if you’re including just one URL, instead of the two allowed my many article announcement sites, then your reward could come in the form or orange juice instead of champagne. One of the first rules of marketing, which applies whether you’re writing sales copy or an article to promote your business, is to give your reader one simple message and, having delivered that message, to clearly ask that reader to take one single action.

For this reason, people often believe that your article resource box should contain just one single call to action and, accordingly, just one single URL link. And I would agree wholeheartedly, if it were not for one simple thing - the search engines. Yes, article marketing is indeed about getting your message out to as wide an audience as possible so that they can read it and, hopefully, click through to visit your website. But it is also very much about getting your article posted on websites across the internet and building links to please the search engines - particularly Google and Yahoo. Now the subject of building links to please the search engines is a little beyond the scope of this short article, but I’d like to give you just one example of why I believe that you’re leaving money on the table if you don’t add a second link to your resource box. Suppose your article is posted on a website and that the page containing your article has a PR (Google Page Ranking) of say 4, which is derived from a points score given to the page by Google. For a PR4 page this scores could fall anywhere within a fairly broad range, but might for the sake of illustration be 3000 points.

This page, through your resource box link back to your website will pass some of that PR to your own website page. Exactly how much will depend on a number of factors, including the total number of links on the page that contains your article. But, If there are a total of 10 links, then your resource box link could pass somewhere in the region of 250 points back to your website page. Enough to give that page a PR3 ranking from this one link alone. But suppose that instead of having just a single link in your resource box you have two.

The page containing your article will now have a total of 11 links and each will pass a slightly lower score, of perhaps 230 points, but this is still enough to give not one but now two pages on your site a PR3 ranking. Now take this small illustration and imagine your article being posted on hundreds of websites, many with little or no PR, but others adding your article to PR4, PR5 or even PR6 pages. If you think that getting your article on a PR5 or PR6 page is dreaming believe me it isn’t. I know from experience that this article will appear on several PR5 and PR6 pages within 24 to 48 hours of my submitting it. Now, take this illustration one step further and image submitting not one article, but hundreds of articles.

While article writing is still very much about getting your message out to a wide audience of readers, it is also increasingly about building link popularity with the search engines and gaining PR to raise your profile in the search engine listings. Love or hate the search engines they play an increasingly important role in promoting your business and your article resource box can play a vital role in ensuring that you get those champagne top listings, rather than those orange juice second page spots

Define All The Benefits Of Article Marketing In Real World

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Benefits of Article Marketing In the real world, advertising is synonymous with more expenses for the business enterprise. TV spots, print ads, promotional campaigns… companies will have to spend just to get their business message to as many people as possible.

Thankfully, online ventures are not beholden to such a rule. The World Wide Web provides so many channels wherein marketing campaigns can be launched without having to type in your credit card details. Amazing, isn’t it? This is the reason why Internet marketing has blossomed to what it is today. It is very accessible to many people, as steep financial investments are more of the exceptions rather than the general rule. Indeed, there are many avenues on the Internet that would allow a business with an online presence to advertise its offerings.

One of these amazing avenues, and quite possibly, the most cost-efficient and powerful of them all, is article marketing. By its very label alone, you would immediately get the idea that it has something to do with writing articles. This is correct. You see, by writing articles about the subject matter relevant to our business, and by distributing the same to the many channels in the World Wide Web, we will be able to reach so many people and each of them would regard us as experts in the field. Still confused as to how article marketing works?

Here is a step-by-step guide that would teach you the ins and outs of this fantastic marketing strategy: Write a premium, highly informative 300 to 1,200 word article about the subject of your business. If your business, for example, is concerned with dog care, you could write an article about proper dog grooming. Include a resource box at the end of your article. Your resource box is a concise summary of which you are, what you’re about, and could also have a link to your website. Submit your article to the many article directories that can be found on the web.

Every time a person gets to read your article as displayed in the article directories, the link to your website would be exposed and there is a higher likelihood of gaining more unique visitors for your web pages. These article directories are seen by millions of people each and every day, as they are easily indexed by the search engines. The philosophy behind article marketing is a tactic popularly referred to as back linking. Since getting indexed in the search engines is quite a difficult chore, and often, the results would take months before they could bear fruit, a lot of Internet marketers have resorted to back links to get a piece of the search engine pie.

Back links are links to your website which you manage to display in other sites that have a high Page Rank (PR) in the search engines. It’s almost tantamount to piggybacking your way to instant online prominence. There are so many benefits that can be derived from article marketing. Do consider the following: If you could write your own article, it’s a free marketing vehicle. If you can’t write your own article, or if you simply don’t have the time to prepare a piece, you could always hire a ghostwriter to write one for you. The going rate for a standard 500 word article is 3 to 10 dollars. Including your link in the resource box would make it visible to the many people who would get to read your article.

This could potentially equate to an equal amount of new traffic for your site. There is always a chance that your article would get picked up by an electronic newsletter, called an ezine, and this would expose your link to new audiences which could also result in new traffic for your web pages. There is also a chance that your article would get picked up by a printed publication, and the readership of the same would get to know the products or services which your business offers.

By writing a highly informative piece, you’ll be able to brand yourself as an expert in the field in the eyes of your readers. They’ll get to trust you with their needs, whenever they would arise. This is pre-selling at its finest! With all that is going for article marketing, there should be no questions as to why it is heralded as one of the most potent marketing strategies today. Try it out and elevate your advertising campaign to the next level, all without spending a single cent at that.

Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories – Submit Article

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back. With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers.

This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular. There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents
more exposure, which is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1.Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.
In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better content.

2.Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.
You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that same articles?

Mention keywords at strategic places. Just be sure not to overdo them. Some are even using anchor texts which is also an effective method. But it is important to know that majority of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings. Not just increase the number of visitors to your site. Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you intended it to have.

3.Publishing content that does not help your readers.
Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site. And any visitors it can generate are fine.

Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Often, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.

You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight.

Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.

Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.

Outsourcing Article Marketing: The Easy Way to Make Money Writing Articles.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Article marketing is one of the most effective yet inexpensive forms of marketing available to online entrepreneurs.

By writing articles and distributing them through article directories, you are able to get your message to your customers using other people’s distribution networks. This is an incredible amount of leverage that allows you to reach large numbers of readers that would be too expensive to reach any other way.

In addition, the medium of an informative article is much more likely to establish you as an expert on your chosen topic, which in turn makes readers more likely to accept what you are saying, and then to buy what you are selling. This is the basis of how you can make money writing articles.

But the value to you as an online entrepreneur doesn’t stop there. In addition to reaching customers and presenting yourself as an authority, you also gain authority in the eyes of the major search engines. The Internet is like a giant voting machine. Every link inbound to your website from another website is like a “vote” for you. The more votes you have from respectable websites, the higher you’ll rank in the search engines when people search for your topics. This in turn brings you more customers.

In summary, article marketing enables you to reach vast numbers of potential customers both directly and through search engines, and makes them much more willing to buy from you at the same time - all at little or no cost to you.

Sounds too good to be true!

Well, there is a catch. Article marketing takes time. Writing articles that are well thought-out, well constructed and that present you well as an expert take a certain amount of effort, and a flair for writing that most people simply don’t have.

In addition, to be truly successful, you need to reach a certain “critical mass” of articles out in circulation before you really start to see the wave of customers and search engine visitors reaching your website. This means that you need to establish a regular writing and distribution schedule, and you need to stick to it - for months. This takes iron discipline and, quite honestly, a solid investment of time.

Unfortunately, this time and effort problem is what stops most people in their attempt to make money writing articles.

Luckily, there is an easy way to write articles and benefit from all the article marketing goodness we described earlier. It’s easy, takes virtually none of your time, and can be done for pennies on the dollar. I refer to outsourcing. Hiring out. Finding contract writers who will write your articles for you, on your schedule, so that all you need to do is manage the process at a high level.

The process of outsourcing article marketing is surprisingly easy and inexpensive to do.

The first step is to come up with a schedule and a list of topics for which you would like to produce articles. It is often useful to “batch” a number of topics together into a single “project” so that you engage one writer to write five or ten or even twenty articles at one time. You can average-down your cost per article this way.

Then you need to post a project on an outsourcing site such as elance or rentacoder describing what type of articles you need written. The writers will then bid on your project, allowing you to review and select the bidder you feel can write the best articles for you at the best price.

All you need to do then is manage your business from a high level. Arrange the writers to deliver articles at the appropriate times for your schedule, then send the articles off for distribution once they’re done. It’s easy, cheap and takes very little of your time. Best of all, it sets you up to succeed in your desire to make money writing articles.

Article Marketing Ideas To Grow Your Affiliate Home Based Online Business.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Article directories are usually where we start off submitting articles and for many their article submission process stops there. Whilst this is a proven and highly effective method to build back links to your affiliate home based online business website as well as generate free traffic there are other ways to spread your articles far and wide over the internet.

Before we look at these lesser known article submission methods, do be sure, prior to submitting your articles, to include the resource box at the end of your article as this will not only provide another valuable back link to your site but is also a form of free advertising for your affiliate home based online business. It is also a good idea to put your publishing guidelines in your resource box as well i.e. “you are welcome to publish my article provided you include the resource box with links intact. “

Start off by doing a search for the terms evinces and article publishing websites as you will be sure to find many links on these sites to submit your articles. It is worth looking at the ozone directories as some do accept article submissions. Going off topic a little here, but if you do have email ozone or email newsletter be sure to submit it to the ozone directories for added exposure.

You could create a free e-book with all your own articles and offer it on your website as a freebie, or give it away to your newsletter signups. You can get more free advertising by adding your own affiliate home based online business advert to the e-book as well.

An article directory added to your own website will encourage visitors who are looking for free content for their own websites.

You could also earn extra online income by becoming a freelance writer by submitting your articles to print publications that pay for submissions.

Create a free report on internet marketing or affiliate home based online businesses, include a few of your related articles and give it away as a bonus to those who purchase a product or service from you?

Ever considered publishing a book containing all the articles you have written and selling the book from your website?

By offering other webmasters the opportunity to get an instant article directory by linking to yours with give you massive exposure and also increase the traffic to your website.

Don`t miss out on the opportunity to submit your articles to related online communities, such as newsgroups, forums and email discussion lists as this will attract a huge amount of free advertising to your affiliate home based online business.

Do a search using your own main keywords and have a look through the authority sites in the top rankings and you may well find some sites invite you to submit your articles to them. Should your article be accepted and displayed on their site you will benefit greatly. Some of these sites also have their own forum with an article marketing section.

You can gain further valuable exposure by advising others that they are welcome to include your articles in their free e-books. This really is free advertising as you don`t even need to promote the e-book.

Make good use of your auto-responder and set up a campaign offering a weekly article to your website visitors and include your affiliate home based online business email advert with each article.

Gets your articles submitted for maximum exposure

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Once you have written an article, you want it listed in as many article directories as possible, so people can find your info, and visit your website to find out more about your business.
To get your articles listed in the directories, you have 3 options.
1. You can hire someone to do it for you.
When you hire a virtual assistant to do your article submissions you won’t have to look at each site to make sure it has a category that meets the requirements of your articles.
Most virtual assistants already work for other article marketers, and have a list of the best article directories, so they know where to go, and what to do.
You also won’t have to create directory accounts and make notes of the link address, login and password every time.

You’ll find some good freelance virtual assistants who will take care of your article submissions at Elance.
2. You can use an online article submission service.
There are several submission services operating online. Some charge you per directory that your article is submitted to. For example: If you want to list your article in 10 directories, you will pay $10.00. This makes it a good place for beginning article marketers, who like to test things out first.
The downside is that if you plan to submit your article to many directories on a constant base, you may end up paying a lot of money.
Other submission services charge a flat fee. You can choose a Quarterly, Annual or Lifetime membership. If you’re going to submit many articles, then this is the way to go.
Online submission services are easy to use, effective, and can get your articles listed quickly in the most important directories.

3. You can also use an automated article submission program that runs from your own computer. This is a less expensive option, as you have total control over the software once you have bought it, and you do not have to pay for every article that you submit.
The advantage is that there are no recurring fees involved and you can use the program whenever you want to kick out a series of articles in a flash. They will be distributed to hundreds of article directories in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.
Note: some of these automated programs do not update their database on a constant base, and many article directories are no longer working.

Another downside is that some of the article directories require a login and password, so you will need to enter the info manually every time you submit an article. This can take a lot of your time.
Conclusion: to choose which article submission solution will work best for you, you should consider how many articles that you want to see published.

High volume: choose an online submission service. You will save a lot of time. Time that you can spend on writing more articles

Do You Want To Write Articles

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Running and developing an internet business requires fresh content for your site on a regular basis. Daily if possible. Fresh content articles lures your prospects to your site by quenching their thirst for information and knowledge.

But what are you going to do if you can’t or don’t want to write?

Well, for starters if you hate writing articles and you can’t afford to hire someone reputable to write for you, you can get free articles. The first place to look is in the public domain. You won’t have problems with copyright infringement if your material is available in the public domain.

Public domain writings are simply expired copyrights. When a work is originally copyrighted, the copyright only lasts for a specified period of time. If the copyright isn’t extended, usually when an author dies, then it simply expires. Then the writing is placed in the public domain. These are articles or writings that were once published works and so the English and grammar should be very good. You may need to check copyright laws in the country in which you reside for more information.

Because public domain articles are available to anyone, your competition may also be using them. This can be verified easily with a search engine. Make sure the articles you choose pertain to your website topic. You’ll likely need to edit them a bit in order to place your keywords in the right places.

You can also let other websites with similar content submit articles and post them on your site. Many bloggers today do what is known as “utility posting” in which they post an intro to a post on another site and link to it. They are using content from other blogs to fill their content needs and linking to the other blog.

Now, you might be saying — wait a minute, I don’t want links to other sites on my site! Well, if that’s what you think, you’re a little behind the curve because that’s exactly what Web 2.0 is all about! Google knows this and is now serving up pages based primarily on their social popularity. Google weighs other parts of the site as well, but always remember that social populariaty is VERRRRY important!

So, forget about keeping all the links to yourself and start sharing as much as you can.

And, if you’re wondering where all this is going, well here’s the pot of gold and the real reason why I decided to write this article in the first place. Because of Web 2.0, there are now many article services gaining popularity that cater to this need. The one I belong to not only sends my “unique” articles to about 600 sites upon submission, but I also receive many unique articles each day as a subscriber. And, you can choose to only receive articles if you don’t want to write them.

This service is not costly but is well worth the minor fee I pay monthly. As a result, I’m seeing my links increase in Google daily. It’s the best method I know of to help us all trade links and acquire unique articles. I have no problem posting regularly to all of my sites now. It’s up to me to choose what categories of articles I receive, how many are sent each day and whether or not to publish on my website. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to write good articles! If it’s crap, I don’t post it.

One more thing you should know — There are now many websites that offer Private Label Rights Articles that you can publish on your site. Many of them are free to join. Private label rights allow you to take credit for writing the articles. If you want, you can even rewrite all or part of them. In fact, that’s how I wrote this article. I’m pretty good at writing, but sometimes the ideas don’t come as quickly as I’d like. So, when I begin with a PLR work, the ideas start churning out and there’s no need to create all of the content myself. Although most of the time you would not recognize the original as the starting content, when I’m done!

Some useful tips to Constitute Good Content for an Article

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Article marketing is simply the process of writing articles, publishing your articles on article directories and syndicating your articles.

To be successful in article marketing, you need to:

1. Write high quality and keyword optimized articles.

2. Submit a series of such articles to article directories on a regular basis.

They are targeted visitors that are interested in the topic of your article and are looking for something in particular. Should they come across a sub-standard article and in an unlikely event follow the resource box links, the author is risking his/her websites reputation. The author has not made the most of this visitor by showing their knowledge and expertise on a subject.
By submitting this to article directories the author is not only losing potential visitors directly but also losing the viral affect of article marketing. This is the affect where an article is picked up and published by an unlimited number of other websites. These publishing websites are often related to the article, allowing the ability to send targeted traffic and produce relevant backlinks.
An article that has good content and that contain the keywords that readers are searching for has many page views. Imagine if each article generates a page view of 500 readers, if you have ten of such articles, you will get 5000 page views. With article syndication, you get more back links for higher ranking on search engines and can also brand yourself as an expert in your area of online business.

But what constitute good content? Here are some useful tips:

1. your content answers a need or solves a problem that your target readers have. Specifically, your article contains keywords that readers search for. For instance, if you are targeting readers with hair loss, then “hair loss” is a keyword phrase that you can use in your article. However, a better keyword phrase is likely “hair loss remedy” as your article content can be on remedy solutions for hair loss, thus addressing the needs of your reader.

2. Your article contains useful resources. Using the same example for hair loss, you can write about where your reader can find the remedy solutions.

3. Your content contains practical tips that your readers can easily apply. A step-by-step guide on preparing a remedy right out from one’s kitchen is interesting and unusual.

4. If you are writing a discussion topic, you present alternative views and a healthy discussion on each view.

5. Your content is personalized. You write from your own experiences.

6. You have an opinion on a discussion topic and your ideas are well supported. Support can be in the form of testimonials from experts or references to scientific and proven research. It is okay to write an article based on general information but winning content are those that have supporting reasons for your opinion.

7. Your article is up-to-date with the latest information on trends. No one likes to read outdated ideas. This is especially if you are writing on an area that is fast moving like IT or even fashion.

Article Writing - How To Make An Article?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Whether you are writing an article to promote your business, or you’re writing an article to sell, there are certain articles writing strategies you can follow to help you easily create your article. First, what is the purpose of your article? Is it to attract more business? Do you want to make money from the article? Are you using it to brand yourself as an expert? Are you submitting for publication in a print or trade publication? Understanding the purpose of your article will help you determine what steps you need to take to develop your article. It will also help you decide what research you need to do to add detail to your article. For example, if you are writing an article for promotion, you won’t need to do quite so much research, if any. After all, you should already know your topic well enough to write it. The length of your article will be different because articles written for promotion are generally shorter. Around 500 to 700 words are usually optimal. Your next step is to develop your idea. If you are writing for promotion, the article ideas you develop will be different from articles for print publications. Promotional articles require that you understand your audience and its needs. Articles for print publications require you to understand the needs of the publication and what it’s looking for. Types of articles you can write are tips, how to, lists, and recipes, which are just step by step instruction on how to do something. There are other types of articles you can write, but these types listed are the easiest to write. Another factor is the detail of your outline. An outline for a long article will need to be longer than an outline for a short article. Outlining is the simplest and easiest way to organize your material. It can also help you in doing your research, as well as see where you need to flesh out your article and provide more detail. Develop your outline with as much detail as possible. Then you can add bullet points, or whatever you need to add to your article. You can either organize your article using a simple text file and adding details as you go, or you can write your information on index cards and shuffle them later. When writing my articles, I usually start with my title though. This allows me to tightly focus on what the article is about. Any information that doesn’t fit with the title of the article is discarded or used in a different article. Once you have a working title and outline, then you’ll need to do your research. Avoid searching using general keywords because you’ll have so many search results you’ll have difficulty finding the information you’re looking for. At least three to four word keywords are best because the content you’ll find is more tightly focused. Try to think like your reader. When you think like your reader, you’ll zero in on the types of keywords the reader is looking for. When writing for print publications, study the publication itself. Then you’ll understand the needs of the publication. When you’ve finished your research, it’s time to write your article. If you’ve done your homework, you’ll have enough information now to simply flesh out each of the points you’ve written. Writing articles is an easy way to promote your business, but with enough practice, you can also use it as a way to make extra money for your business, whether you’re a writer or not.For more useful tips & hints, please browse for more information at our website: -

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Starting an online business is challenging, often many gave up due to confusion. If you’re about to start an online business and work from home using your computer but have no idea about what article marketing is all about? You’ve got to learn about one of these effective strategies in generating large traffic to your websites and see how wonderful this tactic may help you.
We all know that large search engines like Google gives your website tons of traffic. Your online business can’t survive without them. Getting links is a way of getting higher ranking in these major search engines. You can do it by submitting your website to directories or exchanging with relevant websites.
But one of the best ways is still article marketing, you need to devote some time to draft out an amazing article that will be looked upon by people. After writing an ingenious piece of article, submit it to major directories like Ezinearticles, articlecity, etc.
Of course, submitting article to reputable directories will be much better than directories which do not hold much authority in the internet. This can be seen by their page rank, the higher page rank of the directory, the better it is.
At the end of the article, there will be an area which you can promote your website, there you go, you’ve created a back link to your website! It is usually called the resource box or signature file
Is it really effective? It depends on a lot of factors. Let me list down below a few examples.
The main thing is that you’ve written an article that provided quality information. You do not want to read an article which provides you nothing but information that you already know. In another words, you should not write articles which provide no real information.
People will stop reading your article and surf at other websites. I believe that’s not what we want.
Another weakness that most article marketers do is that they create a sales page rather than an article. The words that they used are more likely to contain hype, making people interested in the products than the article.
However, some people will feel sickened to continue to read your article, you should provide useful information and nothing else. It’s like a universal law, the more you give to others, the more you will be rewarded.
Lastly, you want an article that captures attention, more than anything else. An expert did a survey once before, by changing the title of the same book with the same content in it, the sales derived from each title differed. That’s why they say, “do not judge a book by its cover.”
There are many useful tools that you can find in the internet that allows you to create a title that is so captivating enough that people are dying to read your stuff.
Article marketing, when used effectively, can create miracles for online business owners and working from home using your computer will no longer be a fairytale!

An Internet business or a Website needs articles. The benefits that articles provide are putting a site high in the ranking in search results of keywords and keyword phrases that pertains or are relevant to his or her site. They also provide attraction to website visitors when they are appreciated and is linked to your site from another site or newsletter. Articles provide for the increase of the confidence and trust levels of customers to your site and company.

Many articles are also beneficial to both company and its traffic. When the readers like the articles, they would tell more of their friends, family and peers and recommend your site to them, providing for a larger volume of traffic. You get bigger sales if your traffic trusts and believes in you. Your product or services would be much easier to sell when they know you know what you are doing and talking about.

So ok, we have established that articles are very important to a site and to business. Articles are crucial and to keep ahead in the game, a site must have an article, it is imperative. There is one dilemma though, not many people like writing articles.

Many website owners would rather spend their time on something else, and unless you’re a big time company, you don’t have the necessary resources to use on a pool of article writers. Plagiarism or copying of other articles is frowned upon and could easily get you into trouble, worst case scenario; a hefty fine and jail time.

So what are the other options?

Well, for starters if you hate writing articles and you can’t afford to hire people to write for you then don’t. Get free articles. The first place to look at for free articles is the public domain. Here you won’t have problems with copyright infringement and the following penalties and fines if you get caught for plagiarism.

Public domain articles are articles freely given to the public for public use. You can do whatever you want with it. You can place it on your site, name it as yours, put it in a newsletter its you decision. Always remember though that you will have to choose articles that is very relevant to your site.

The downside to public domain articles is that since it is free for everybody, many of your competitors may have access to them as well. Since every site needs to be original and unique even though you have the same niche, this could be a predicament. You may also have to edit them a bit to place more keywords and keyword phrases to make them better.

Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which has the same subject or topic as yours to submit articles to your site. This would be only to augment your existing content or else all your articles would be leading to other sites since these articles would have resource boxes with them that could link or direct the readers to their site. That’s why it is important to have your own articles; you cold use them to link your site to other sites as well.

But, to truly feel the impact of what a good article to you, go for original ones. There are many article writers who do part time and freelance article writing jobs that charges only minimal fees. You can get good articles that have all the keywords and keyword phrases you need and people are looking for.

The investment you made for these articles would be worthwhile because you could use them for all the benefits you could offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able to use them anyway you want. As your articles help you in building your business and your site, you will have more articles to write and maybe then you wont be having second thoughts about articles.

Although it can be an expensive way to get information, you will be able to provide solid information. You will have a real review. Another option to consider is to ask the owner for a trial, and tell them you own a popular review site that you plan reviewing their product on. Many companies would love the chance to get a review, if they knew it could bring them some business. It can’t hurt to ask.
