Article Marketing 101
October 16, 2009 |
Once I started my Internet business I had no idea how to drive traffic to my website. After building the site, I went ahead and put it up on the Internet waiting for the flood of Buyers to come in. What I found was that nobody came to my grand opening. At that time, I had never heard about article submission sites or article marketing~It was a quiet day when we set up our website and found there to be zero traffic waiting to beat down our doors. It was then a friend told me about article marketing and said I needed to read some article submission site reviews and learn about article marketing}. What we didn’t know was how to get people to come and look at our products and services we had to offer.
As first time business owners, I’m sure we weren’t alone when asking these questions about how to earn cash. The fact is you need traffic to your website or blog no matter what it is you’re trying to promote. A good place to start is searching Google for keywords like “traffic generation” or “article marketing” to get some really sound advice on how to drive traffic to your Website.
Promoting yourself cheaply and effectively can be done by article marketing. Don’t let being inexperienced stop you, this article will help you quickly compose your very own article.
First, you will need to do a little search of the product or service you’re trying to promote. Start with ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and forums etc. Find an article with a good title and start reading. If you like what you are reading, then, spend some time and jot down a few of the key points in that article.
The title of your article is important. Make sure the title of your articles include keywords relating to your product or service. Using the points from the article, go ahead and begin writing in your own words about the product or service you want to put in your article. You know what it is that you are selling, so go ahead and be a little creative making sure to use the key words that will help when people are searching for that on the internet.
Once the article is written, you’ll want to submit it to article directories that will redistribute it to hundreds, and sometimes thousands of websites. Here are a few good ones to start with. They are articledashboard.com, goarticles.com, ezinearticles.com, articlesbase.com. The more directories you submit your article to, the more traffic will be generated to your site.
Another benefit or article marketing you’ll learn about is search engine optimization. Articles that have links back to your website will boost your rankings, thus bringing in more and more traffic as they climb up the search engine rankings. Use keywords in your title and use phrases that will catch people’s attention. This will help lure potential customers to your website.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and a lot of traffic to gain!
