If used effectively you can easily share your knowledge with others so you can get them people to believe that you are really good on what you do (that’s not saying you’re not! Post your articles on various article submission sites (to get inbound links) or post them on your blogs or website to make them content-rich so you can attract search engine traffic.

Depending on what you’re offering, you can either send them to a squeeze page which is a basic page with an opt in form like the one on the right hand side of this blog or send them to a sales page with the product you’re promoting. Though, studies have shown that depending on the price point you’re probably better off trying to build a relationship with the person before trying to flog them something.

Here’s how you can maximise your article marketing:

1.    Know your objectives. Before you even lay a finger on your keyboard, it’s best to know your purpose on writing your articles. Are you going to distribute them online? Are you going to post them on your website? Are you going to use them on your newsletters? Or are you considering compiling them to create a viral marketing tool such as an ebook? When you know the purpose of your articles, it will get much easier for you to identify what elements you must and must not use. For instance, if you are planning to post them on your website, you need not to prepare keyword list, article summary, and resource box as you would if you will be posting your copies on article directories.

I generally get my articles outsourced which can be done by visiting scriptlane.com or guru.com for a freelancer. If you want more info on how to do this, check out Ray Johnson’s Outsource2Success which is a course that teaches you to outsource the vast majority of work needed for your online business.

2.    Try to write for your readers. You’ll need to make sure your article content is lazer focused and highly targeted to the needs and demands of your readers so you can earn their trust and eventually lure them to act on your favor. Ensure that you offer them with information that they will find useful in their lives and that you write your articles using their preferred writing style and choice of words. Make these people happy with your content and you can be assured that you’ll get all the benefits that article writing can offer.

3.    Think SEO. Search engine optimization is very important for all those people who would like to dominate the online arena. For your articles to show up on relevant searches, you must know how to determine the best keywords to use on your content and how you can strategically place them all throughout your articles. You must also know how to follow the appropriate keyword density so you will not be banned for keyword spamming. If you are posting your articles on your website or blogs, you must know how to use relevant HTML tags so search spiders can easily index your content.

One of the best ebooks on the market has been written by a guy called Josh Spaulding called Article Marketing Domination. This guy is the daddy of article marketing and trust me, you won’t go wrong by following his advice!

Good luck!
