Article marketing is as old as marketing itself. And that is old. Eve was a great fruit marketer. Nevertheless article marketing has been given a breath of fresh air with the internet, because it is now much simpler and cheaper to write a marketing article and get it to your clients. If you have an online business and haven not started using this marketing technique, you might want to read this article.
So how does it work? It is as simple as writing an article on a subject that relates strongly with a product, service or idea you want to promote. This is the key part; it has to be relevant in order to elicit high quality response from your readers. Let us illustrate this with an example. Imagine a client is desperately looking for a way to fight her last minute humongous spot on her wedding day.
Fortunately you sell a great cream that magically destroys these specific spots. You have cleverly guessed that many poor women will have to face this tragedy so you wrote an article on, what to do if your face is full of spots on your wedding day and you want them to disappear. As you probably guessed when your traumatized client searched for a solution to her problem online she inserted the words spots, urgent, wedding day and disappear. Your article came at the top of all search engines, that part is probably not going to happen, but it is an illustration. She reads your article and realizes that the solution of all her problems is in your wonderful orange peel cream.
The second key of a good article is found in its links. Without links an article is just a piece of free information on the net; include the right link and it can become a money making machine. Some articles have thousands and thousands of reader, many of them click on the writers link which means an increase of highly targeted clients for the business.
Targeted clients means clients that have already been pre-sold, are interested in the service and product and just need to be shown a good deal to close the sale. There are two ways to go in article marketing at this stage.
This is done to avoid articles becoming link graveyards and to stop them being overly promotional. Needless to say, these measures do not work all that well.
Another bonus of using this method, and it is a big one, is that posting articles on high traffic websites will automatically create high quality back links to your site. If you do not believe me talk to your webmaster, but links are a very important part of increasing your business and product’s visibility. If you write well and often, you will both create a lot links and keep your clients happy.
Writing well and often is not easy, this is where writers come along. If you have a few hours everyday to spare for article marketing, great, get started. However, if like most businessmen you struggle to find time for lunch, hire a professional copywriter to get the job done.
