Article marketing might remain a mystery to you until someone manages to shine a light on the industry. Well, that's exactly what we're going to do in this article. Follow us as we take you on an enlightening journey, exposing the tips you need to turn your article marketing venture into a successful business.
Make sure that your articles are accurate. Articles bring traffic to your website but inaccurate articles will drive traffic away instead of bringing repeat traffic. Spend a few minutes fact-checking to determine the accuracy of your articles. This time is well-spent as accurate articles are widely shared via social networks.
Find good article ideas by looking at "top 10" lists. Take just one item off of the list, and write an article about that item and why it's worthy of taking a spot on the list. Use your own words and be sincere. Continue down the list, and in short order you will have 10 new articles to post.
Keep your writing short and sweet. Even if you put together a long piece that's 800 to 1,000 words, it can be broken up into smaller paragraphs with subtitles and bullet points to make the information easier to digest. Readers like to graze; small text bites allow them to scan a page and pick out the parts they want easily.
Make sure that your resource box includes a reason for people to click on your link so that you can drive traffic back to your site. If you have an e-book or other freebie to offer, mention it in your link. If you have more information on the same topic back on your site, provide a link to it in your resource box. It is all about getting those eyes back onto your own site.
Use cross-linking in your articles. In each of your articles, link to other articles you have published. Try to do guest posts on other people's blogs. If you write about useful, value-added information that appeals to their readers, they probably won't mind if you add links to your other articles.
When writing many articles, it's necessary to consider the possibility of burnout. A good way to combat that is to write in stages. First, sit down, and simply write your general ideas for the article. Then, take a break. Later, you can hone the focus of your article, edit for grammar, and add finishing touches. Take breaks as needed in between these stages to stay fresh and avoid overload.
Make your article introductions lively. Try to interject some fun, wittiness or sparkle into the beginning of your article. This will draw in readers much better than something that starts off dry and boring, such as "this article is going to talk about..." Look for interesting trivia or fun facts about your topic and add them into your intro.
Now, make no mistake about it: it might be easy to put these tips into action and start building your business, but there's certainly nothing automatic about the results. You have to be skilled, persistent, and will need to keep expanding throughout the market if you hope to achieve success with any article marketing campaign.
