While Article Marketing is one of the most genuine ways to get back links and traffic to our blogs. We are taught that all you need to do is write one genuine article on an ezine directory and watch it get copied all over the internet, thus getting you the back links your hoping to acquire. This is not always the truth.
Article Marketing can be a form of free advertising for your business. But there are definitely some genuine guidelines that you need to follow to get the results that you are looking for.
Article Marketing does take some planning and time to develop the skill of a great writer, while on the other hand you only develop the skill of writing by writing. But one of the biggest catches that I have found, is that your 1st and foremost objective.... has to be To Add Continual Value To Other People And Help Them Achieve Their Goals.
So let's look at some of the technical aspects of writing an article:
" Determine your topic....What are you going to write about. It does not matter so much if you feel that others have already written an article on the same subject. You hold a unique perspective, so your view will be one of a kind.
" Who are you writing to...What questions are your readers asking...What are they wanting to know about...Now begin to answer their questions. Give them the value that they are looking for. Don't skimp on this point, you can never give away more than you will receive later.
" Do your research...Know your topic. Pick a couple of points and write about them. You can always write another article later as a follow up. Break your article up into small digestible chunks.
" The Length of your article does matter. If you are just posting a couple of points on your blog and you are not worried about ranking, then post the points. But if you are writing an article to get syndicated and linked back to your blog then it will have to be between 300-500 words.
" Write a ruff draft of your article. Ask yourself these questions as you are reading....
o Does your introduction tell the readers what they are going to read, learn and experience?
o Did you answer the questions...Who, What, When, Where, and Why. You might not answer all these questions in the same article but they will help keep you on track and focused.
" Re-Write and Re-Read your article before you publish it. This is where you will find many grammatical errors as well as typing errors. Your readers will pick up on this quickly...you want to present your article as professional as possible.
" Submit your finished article to as many Free Article Marketing Sites that you can. This can take some time but will pay off greatly in the end. You can register for as many as you like, always remembering that the more your article is out there the more links and traffic it will create back to your site.
Article Marketing can at first be time consuming. But as with anything worthwhile it is worth the time you will spend on developing your talent. So does Article Marketing fail to deliver...I can only say that it won't deliver if you do not put the time and effort into developing your skill. So begin writing..... Only time will tell...but one thing is for sure... if you never try.... you might look back one day and wish that you had.
