Article Marketing – How Good Is It?

I am happily building a large business using Internet Marketing as a basis to build my Network Marketing Business. Readers of my articles will be aware that I don’t call leads or do any of the normal Network Marketing activities.

Part of my strategy is to write articles and publish them on the various article directories. There is quite a bit to producing articles that work for your business, and I thought I would share some of my insights here.

First, the format of the article is crucial. You need a catchy headline, first paragraph summarizing the content and giving a compelling reason to read the rest, use subheads where you start a new section, and tie each paragraph or section into the next one with a linking statement that entices them to read further.

At the end of the article you summarize, tell them what to do next, and add a resource box with your website, email, why they should listen to you, and what your qualifications are as an expert.

Here is a summary of views of some of my articles form just one article website. The first column is views, then clickthroughs to my web site, and number of people who published the article in their own newsletter. This is a true viral marketing situation.

  2. I want to get back into article marketing but it is time consuming. The math makes sense though, its free traffic to your website based on those keywords. It is a good idea if you can keep up the writing. Great info!

      HI Xavier,

      You are spot on. Article marketing works, but you ahve to keep at it. ONce you know waht to do, you can get an article up and running in about an hour.

      Like everything else, it takes discipline. A campaign of one a day for 90 days will get traffic moving for you.

  3. I’ve been article marketing for 10 years now. I think I have something like several thousand articles circulating around the internet. It is one way to add traffic to your site or blog. It should not be the only way, as the traffic isn’t significant enough to rely on.

    Regards,
    Mike

      HI Mike,

      This is true, although well written articles can be picked up by Ezines and you can get a large circulation. A few weeks ago sitepronews picked up an article of mine and it was sent to thousands of SEO people by email! Paid advertising brings the fastest traffic. You need videos, social networking and other methods to really get things going.

  4. i always use article marketing to sell products and services, it is a very effective way to promote~.’

  6. Kaden Hayes says:

    when you want to promote your webiste or product, article marketing is always the best way to do it..~:

  7. Article marketing is really great if you have the time and effort to make new articles each day.:;”
