Great Houdini - this really works!
Never would have believed how writing some
simple little articles would put my website
marketing into overdrive until I tried it.
These techniques worked for me, can't imagine
what they will do for someone who can actually
write!
If you haven't tried it, give it a go and see
exactly what article writing can do for your
marketing efforts - you may be pleasantly surprised.
Here are 10 powerful article marketing tips
you should apply to all the articles you write.
These ideas will help you discover the real
power behind article marketing.
1.
Information, Information, Information
Don't ever forget, the major reason anyone is
reading your article is for the information. Make sure
your articles have at least some! The more timely,
the better.
2.
Keep It Short And Simple
Writing for the web and ezines is different than
writing for off-line publications. Keep your writing
brief and write in short paragraphs. Be concise. Be precise.
Talk directly to your reader and trim any unnecessary
fat. Be lean and meaningful.
3.
Put Your Reader's Major Benefit In The Title
Always put your readers first - give them the main reason
they should read your article in big bold letters at
the top of the page, i.e. in the title.
4.
Take Full Advantage Of Article Directories
Kick-start your articles by submitting them to popular
online article directories. These already have a large
clientele looking for your articles.
Here's my killer five:

www.web-source.net

5.
Use Autoresponders For Your Articles
Set up all your articles on autoresponders. Have
a Master Autoresponder - listing all your articles.
Automate your genius.
6.
Post Articles On Your Site
Place all your articles on your site. This builds trust and
creditability. Not to mention all that 'keyword drawn'
traffic from the search engines.
7.
Use RSS Feeds To Syndicate Your Articles
Place your articles in RSS Feeds and syndicate them
to all interested parties. RSS is Hot! Google Blog Search.
Microsoft's RSS Powered Longhorn. XML Sitemaps...
8.
Use Affiliates If You Have Them
Let your affiliates brand your articles with their affiliate
IDs and promote your articles for you. Win-win situation.
Harness and harvest your affiliates' energy.
9.
Cross Reference Your Articles
Get more bang for your links. Place links to your other
articles in the article you're writing. If you're
offering helpful advice, most ezine editors and webmasters
will let you do this. Self-promote. Self-pollinate.
10.
Place Your Articles In An eBook
Place your most popular articles in an ebook
that can be branded and passed around. A great
viral technique that works. Your greatest hits
for all the world to enjoy, again and again.
Happy writing - go get 'em!
