An Article Marketing Guide

Article Marketing is a cheap and effective way for online promotion of your business, blog or service. Most of the internet marketers and affiliate marketers are using Article Marketing to make money online.

What Is Article Marketing?

Article Marketing is posting keyword-focused articles on article sites or article directories. This website promotion technique is really important because many of these article sites have a significant readership following. Article Marketing will boost your earnings!

Top 14 List Of The Most Important Article Directories:

How To Write An Effective Article

With Article Marketing you can build a powerful online presence and it’s an effective form of marketing your business if done correctly.

Note: Content is the key for every successful online business and your articles must have really good content! Your article needs to help people, to solve their problem or to deliver information that will allow your readers to take action. Bring value to your readers and develop a conservation with them.

The Basics:

Your aticles have to be simple. Write in a simple language that the people, who are interested in, can understand. Your aticles have to be full of information but the readers have to understand what you teach them. That’s very important. Not everyone is a genius. Try to write your articles in the way that your family or friends can understand what you will deliver them before submitting them to article directories. That’s the easiest way.

With your aticle you have to build trust and respect with your readers. Write in conversation mode and include the word “YOU”, that makes your article more personally. Get in touch with your prospects and complete every thought they have. Give them all information and the solution to solve the problem they have. People are searching for information or solutions about a problem they have.

Getting Started

The most important step to article marketing is to get started. Everybody can write an article. Grab a piece of paper and start writing down all your thoughts about your topic or your business. Read all your written thoughts again one hour later and you will see that more and more ideas will come.

The Structure Of An Article

You can use the same structure as I showed you in my posting about The Most Important AIDA Formula.

I write all my artciles with a free software which you can download directly by clicking this link:

8 minute article writer

It can be time consuming to write your own articles if you’ve never done so before, or if you just think you aren’t a very good writer.

If you need someone to create your content for you and you have the budget to pay for it, you can always hire a freelance writer through places like:

Believe me - writing your article is EASY and SIMPLE. Write like you talk.

Next, proceed to write your article fast. Don’t think just write as fast as you can and edit it later. This really works and you can create tons of your own unique articles!

I’d recommend to write a ‘tips’ format article. For example:

10 Tips To Effective Blogging In Under 7 Days” or something similar.

Here is an article template you can use:

Sample Article Template

Your Article Title
(Catchy and attention grabbing with keyword/keyword phases included)

Article Introduction
(2-3 sentences with keyword/keyword phrases included)

Article Body
(3-5 tips/paragraphs with keyword/keyword phrases included)

Article Conclusion
(2-3 sentences with keyword/keyword phrases included)

Your Resource Box
(Provides benefit to the reader to click through your URL)

As I explained at the beginning you have to write keyword-focused articles. Here I will give you a list of the best Keyword-Tools.

List Of Keyword Tools

Place your main Keyword once:

  • In your title
  • in the introduction
  • and the rest in the body of your article

After you have written your keyword-focused articles, submit them to the various high-ranking article sites or article directories as metioned. If you do this the right way, your articles will appear at the TOP of the search engines when someone does a search for that particular keyword phrase your article is written around…

You can do this manually, what is time consuming or you can submit your artciles with a submission tool.

If You Want To Submit Your Website To Thousands Of Website Directories Instantly, I highly recommend this FREE Article Submitter Software. It submits articles to article directories easy and fast.

Article Submitter Review:

Free Article Submission Software Gets You Tons Of Quality, 1-way Links!

While article submission isn’t anything shockingly new to the world of SEO, many people STILL don’t do it… and for good reason. It takes so incredibly long to do manually.

I’ll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to, and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else.

Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.

The only part I didn’t understand was why the program is free… but I can’t argue with that I suppose.

The software currently contains around 700 article directories, all free to submit your articles to. It is the most straightforward program that we’ve come across, in that all you need to do is:

1. Input your article details (i.e. title, article body, bio, etc.) into the software

2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

And then the program will automatically fill in your article details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your article is instantly submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you’re finished you’ll have roughly 700 one way links pointing to your website.

I can’t think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you’re going to get links this quickly, it’s important to submit different variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Article Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and their is an incredible community of users established that all work together to make the software better and better, so you know you’re getting great value for the money.

How To Promote Your Business

First you have to sign up for a free account on the above listed article directories and create your own profile with all information about you and your business. There you get the option to create a bio-box where you can describe your business and place the URL of your website. If a reader is interested in more information about you and your business he will be able to see your bio-box and your website-URL.

When you finished the settings you can start writing your articles. At the end of every article you can place a short invitation with a link to your website-URL. That is the place where people who want more information will click. Do you get the idea how you can use this technique for promoting your business, service, blog or ebook?

The above listed article directories have a significant readership and a high Alexa Ranking which will scatter your website-URL across the internet. The more articles you write the more people will come to your website for more information, but only if your content is really good and helpful!

The most important effect of article marketing is that these article directories will give your website a boost and important backlinks which all search engines love.
