Article marketing is a very strong way to build effective way to build your home business and make money on the Internet. Submit articles to improve your website traffic through enhanced search engine positioning from the many authority backlinks you get from article directories, and also get your name out as an expert in your field.
To make the most of your time, your article marketing strategy should include these following steps:
1. Your author box: In every article you submit to a directory, you include an author bio box at the end which will make visitors want to visit your site, read more and eventually buy something. This is a short description of you as an author, including your name (or pen name) with links to your website. Give an incentive like mentioning your free newsletter.
2. Website content: Write your articles with enthusiasm and give good information. Readers should be drawn in so much that they want to know more about the topic enough to visit your website once they reach your bio box.
You can write about your product or service, review products or give a how-to on a piece of software or technique used in the industry. Helpful tips, advice and directions about how to use what you are selling all help put the reader int othe mind frame of wanting and needing to know more about the product (and of course having it!).
3. Distribution: You can always find article directories and submit your article to them all by hand. This is free but takes a lot of time and your time and effort could be spent on other important things that you have to do by hand.
A much better option is to use an article submission service (I use ArticleMarketer) which automatically submits, tracks and reports on all the hundreds and thousands of article submission directories and article lists it submits to, hands free, depending on your membership level. Article submission software is usually limited and tends to break and take time to manage.
Use an article submission service that auto submits to both directories and lists. With directories you get quality back links to your website from the directory as well as by webmasters who use your article on their sites.
Lists won’t get you a back link but have the potential of getting your submitted article on hundreds or even thousands of quality websites who all give you a quality back link. These back links give your website a ton of clout in the search engines by helping you increase Page Rank in Google and improve your position in just about all search engines
You can write your own articles or have someone else write them for you. Some affiliate marketing programs know how important it is for making money online to give you articles you can just rewrite and submit to article submission directories.
One thing is for sure, your articles must all be unique. Rewrite any tidbits or articles you find on the web and mix in your own ideas to make a whole new article. Using your own ideas and rewritten content will help you avoid content duplication penalties the search engines use to weed out non unique content.
If you write an article for your website that you want to submit, rewrite it for the article submission directories. If another website wants to place your article on their site, you will still get the back link and it will help your search engine ranking.
