Article Marketing

Article Marketing basics

What is article marketing?

Article Marketing = one of the best free methods of promoting anything on Internet. I will present how to do it the right way, what are the benefits and give you list of best article sites online.

How to do Article Marketing?

1. You need to write an article.  I created a nice checklist for writing and I read it often to refresh my memory.
2. You need to submit it to article website and put a link to whatever you want to promote in signature.
3. Wait to get listed in search engines and get traffic. In the meantime write more articles.

How to make money with article marketing?

The point of writing an article is not spamming readers with your affiliate links, but to give them a few valuable tips. Once they see you provide useful information, they will click a link on your signature. They will look for more information. That is the whole point of the article = to get people interested.

You can:

1. Direct link to whatever you want to sell.
2. Send readers to a squeeze page. (Get Opt-ins for later marketing )
3. Send them to a landing page where you promote your product.

From my experience squeeze page and landing page produce better results, but you can try direct linking and see if it works for you.

Is article marketing for me?

Many people fail doing article marketing, because it is not easy. It is time consuming and involves consistent writing and sending articles, preparing landing pages and tracking results.

Writing just one article will rarely make you any money. You will need to set a goal and write at least 5 articles per week. At the end of the month you will have 20 articles and more chances to make money.
