Article Marketing Basics

August 1st, 2009


The online world offers numerous money making opportunities. One of the simplest and highly profitable ways is article writing and article marketing. It has proved to be the best and the most effective means of online promotion as compared to other means. Articles have many advantages such as ready reference and ease of storage.

To create an effective article marketing campaign, you must write a lot of articles. This in itself is not enough. Your articles must be available at hundreds of locations on the World Wide Web in order to be seen and read by the maximum number of people.

However, if you begin manually by posting each article on each site, then you will spend all your time doing that only. The good news is that many companies provide an article submission service that automatically submits your article to a large number of article directories. This simplifies your work and you can focus more on writing quality articles.

Following are five tips on successful Article Marketing.

1. Quality Articles: If you want visitors to spend time on your site, then your articles must be of good quality. Not only must there be no spelling or grammatical mistakes, but the content must also have a logical flow. It must also provide meaningful information to the user.

2. Excellent formatting: It is very important to choose the right fonts to make the reading experience of the user pleasant. It is advisable to stick to regular fonts like Times New Roman or Verdana and font size between 10 and 12.

3. Attractive Headings: The heading or title of the article must be a catchy phrase in order to attract the user to read the article. Always remember that the heading is as important as the article itself. A badly phrased heading can never catch the attention of the user.

4. Contact information: In case a reader wants to contact you with some query after reading your article, he must be able to do so. You can provide your email or phone number and ensure that you promptly answer such queries as they come up.

5. The secret lies in bulk: You need to write more articles more frequently. Since the amount of information being added to the Internet grows every second, your articles become outdated quite soon. Hence, you need to keep supplying fresh content constantly. It is recommended that you post at least 5 short articles per day. These articles need not be very long but can be between 250 to 350 words. Then you need to post them to the right websites.

‘Slow and steady wins the race’ is the mantra. You can trust that by doing this consistently you will start seeing positive results very soon. The subscribers to your online business will start increasing.

Until next time, God bless you and
