Powerful Article Marketing - 4 Effective Methods to Accelerate Your Article Marketing

Article marketing, as millions of webmasters would agree, is currently the best website promotional tool that aims to drive huge, quality traffic to your website without the need to spend a single dime. As this marketing tool is easy to use and proven to deliver great results, it is currently the most used traffic-generating and advertising tool in the internet today.

Here are the 4 effective methods to accelerate your article marketing:

1. Quality. This is the most important element in your article marketing campaign. You have to make sure that all your articles are of high quality and well-written to increase your clickthrough rate and convince more people to widely distribute your articles online. As you know, the more people publishing your articles, the more inbound links you will be able to obtain for your website.

2. Title. Most new marketers ignore this element as they think that the quality of their articles is enough to stir attention online. This is but plain wrong and could be deadly for your marketing strategy. You need to understand that even before online users can check on your content, they would consider your titles first. If they are not intriguing and attention-grabbing, there is no way that your articles will be opened and read.

3. Optimize. Make your articles search engine-friendly so they will become highly searchable online. Download a reliable keyword suggestion tool to figure out which keywords are usually searched within you target niche and sprinkle them all throughout your content. Don't forget to include your main keyword on your titles too.

4. Publishing sites. Consider the page ranking and quality of traffic of article submission sites before you post your articles. Do not waste your time on sites that are not even indexed by Google as these cannot help you realize your article marketing goals.

Article Marketing for Non-Writers

There is no doubt that article marketing works. People want information that they can use, and will respond to it much more often than having hype, in the form of an ad, thrust in their faces. But what do you do to capitalize on the article marketingtrend when you are not a skilled writer?

One must hire a person who is a skilled writer. One must hire a writer who is experienced in article marketing, someone who knows the ins and outs of search engine placement through keyword optimized informational content.

Too many people think that if they can put words on paper, or in this instance, on a computer screen, that they can write. This is not the case. It is not enough to have words. Those words must be composed in an intelligent fashion; void of misspelled words, grammatical errors and typos. Attempts to succeed with article marketing using poorly written copy will in fact, do more harm than good. No one looks like an expert in anything when their writing is poor.

When one becomes a trusted information provider, people are more likely to purchase, hire, or network with them. To become a trusted information provider, one must provide quality information, written intelligently. That is the whole purpose of marketing with articles: to establish your credibility as an expert in your field, to provide credible information which helps someone make an educated decision, and to direct them to you for the solution to the need they have.

So, does one have to go bankrupt hiring a qualified writer? You certainly could, but you don't have to. As with anything else, you should shop around. Fees for writing services vary; from as little as $10.00 to $10,000.00, depending on many things. But, just because a writer wears a large price tag, doesn't necessarily mean they are the best; alternately, a writer who charges lower fees is not necessarily a hack.

Additionally, one must find a writer experienced in the type of writing application needed. Just because a person is skilled in a particular genre does not mean they are skilled in every writing genre. You wouldn't have a pediatrician perform open heart surgery. Similarly, you shouldn't hire, say, a screen writer to write marketing copy.

Article marketing works well for the promotion of practically anything, IF it is done well and gets plenty of exposure. Obviously, one must get the article in front of readers in order for it to pay off. The more exposure an article gets the better.And this is why article marketing through the use of syndication is so valuable. Syndication gets that exposure, by placing the article in multiple locations for reading, and search engine indexing. (RSS feeds are indexed more often and more quickly than static web pages.)

If you are not an experienced writer, hire one; use article marketing to generate results.

Article Marketing - Introduction to Article Marketing (Part One)

One of the fastest growing and most effective strategies for making money today (March 2007) on the Internet is using a system called "Article Marketing". This system is especially suited for newcomers to Internet Marketing because it can be setup to be labor-intensive rather than cash-intensive. Most newbies to Internet Marketing are "cash-poor" and so developing an Article Marketing campaign where they do all of the work necessary rather than spending money is ideal.

Veteran marketers who may have more money than time on their hands (yes, newbies, this can be the case!) can also take advantage of Article Marketing by hiring ghost writers to write their article content.

It is important to note that there are a number of different variations of Article Marketing. My good buddy Travis Sago created a form he calls "The Bum Marketing Method". His wife named the method because it can be done totally free using strategies that could literally be performed by a bum off of the streets. The last time I talked to Travis (a very successful Internet Marketer himself) he was actually thinking about finding a bum on the streets of his home town and showing him how to literally start making money using the Bum Method.

You can find out more about Travis and his Bum Marketing Method by visiting his website http://www.BumMarketingMethod.com Seriously, I urge you to checkout his website (no, it's not an affiliate link for me . but it is totally FREE and extremely informative!)

I'm going to outline the basics of Article Marketing for you and show you how to really put these methods on steroids using a piece of software I've developed specifically for that purpose called "Your Article Marketing Assistant" (I'll refer to the software as YAMA from now on!)

Now you don't have to purchase YAMA to make Article Marketing work for you - it's just that Article Marketing takes an enormous amount of time & effort to really make it work and so I developed YAMA to help automate some of the boring and tedious (but necessary) steps.

Autopilot Article Marketing

Lots has been said about article marketing in the internet marketing circles. There are many mentors who have been able to sell millions of dollars worth of e-books on how to do article marketing. Mentors aren't the only ones making money. Web script writers are making money off of promoting software which create directories for articles.

But does article marketing work?

The answer to that question varies, depending on who you ask.

But here's my opinion.

Let me begin by telling you that I started article marketing six months ago. In that short amount of time, I have written numerous articles and have been featured in as many as 70 different directories. And through some of these directories, I've received RSS feeds, which allows my articles to get onto many other websites. Some of my article titles have received as many as 10,000 results in a search engine directory.

Several of my websites have zoomed to the number one position in various top search engines. Although I have done other things to acquire higher ranking in search engines, I feel that article marketing has done a majority of the work for me. But more than that, autopilot article marketing is the reason for my success with articles.

Here is how I implement autopilot article marketing.

I start off by writing things that I know about. The first article I wrote was promoting a website about home organization. I discussed organizing your home, a topic that I was know was very popular, but wasn't too familiar with. Now that I am more familiar with this process, I write articles about things that tend to work for me and information that I "do" know about.

The question you may be asking yourself is, "how can I create an autopilot article marketing campaign?" Here's how. You need to just jump right in, and write about what you know. Autopilot article marketing may be the ticket to helping your business get to the next level.

1) TITLE YOUR ARTICLE THE RIGHT WAY
Make it easier to keep track of the spread of your article on the internet by making sure that you create an article title that is not already in use. Just before I submit an article, I place quotes around the title of my article and plug it into google.com. If google's search comes up with something, then I'll choose another title until my search comes up with "no results". If you do have an article title with "no results", you will be able to keep track of the sites that are hosting your article. After you have submitted the article, wait several days and do a search using the article title. Continue to do this every couple of days. If you submit between 10 to 15 different directories, you will be amazed by the results.

2) WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW
Write about something you know about. Make sure you have more knowledge on the topic than the average reader, otherwise you'll probably want to change your topic. Give the readers something they don't already know. Do you research and write a unique article... it'll pay off in the long run.

3) WRITE IN A CONVERSATIONAL MANNER
Write with comfort and ease. Keep it simple. Today's internet reader is click ready, meaning if the article is tough to read, then they will click out of it and go on to the next article. Keep your tone friendly, but informative.

4) KEEP ARTICLES SHORT
Keep your articles short - between 500 to 750 words. Remember, your reader more than likely has a very short attention span. Give them the information quickly and in a direct manner. You'll have a greater chance of keeping your reader's attention, and getting them to click your links in your resource box.

5) INCLUDE A RESOURCE BOX
Be sure to include a link to your site at the end of each article every time. Not only will this help bring visitors to your squeeze page or sales offer, but it will also help build backlinks to your site. Remember to give your readers a powerful call to action to get them to act immediately to your offer.

6) RE-INVEST YOUR PROFITS
If you follow steps 1-5 above, you should soon see profits roll in. Now take a portion of those profits and buy articles. And continue to do so with the profits of those articles. This leaves you free to focus on other forms of marketing. By re-investing your profits into articles, you create a never ending income stream of more articles (which leads to profit in and of themselves) and profit to purchase more articles. This is the autopilot article marketing technique.

In my experience, autopilot article marketing has been (and continues to be) a fantastic income generator for me. To take advantage of autopilot article marketing yourself, make sure to write about what you know, with the right title, and in a conversation manner. Remember to keep your articles short and include a resource box with a call to action. Then, when you earn profits from your articles, re-invest it to create more articles, more traffic, and more income. Then, simply rinse and repeat. Good Luck.
