Article Marketing Where to start |

An Article is a written content to inform your readers about topics you write about. Same concept as Column or article in a Newspaper or Magazine. Article marketing has become a solid foundation of any online business and if you ever search anything online via Goolge or any other Search engine you will come across posted articles. The most interesting or appealing side of using articles as a form of marketing is simple. Online, this form of marketing is free and because the article will live on forever, flocks of people try to master this strategy.

But before you jump on this method I want to give you a few pointers along the way.

STEP 1 Write An Article

Now if you are not a good writer or you are unsure about writing, have someone write it for you. If you budget is low, you back is against the wall and you have no other choice than write the article yourself. But the good part is if you do it yourself you will create your own unique way and style in the articles which than translates into readers who actually like to read what you have written. But to stay on target let’s just asume that you would outsource the article.

You can do a search for “Article writers”, “Ghost writers”, “Copy writes” etc, but I am going to list a few websites below which i personally used.

#Elance.com

#Odesk.com

#Articleauthors.net

Of course when hiring a professional writer give him or her some direction on how to write your content.

Word count, a good article has between 400 and 700 words. Don’t use more than 700 people wont read it.
Have it written so your readers will learn or benefit from the content.
Keyword targeted articles have them write more than one article about this topic.
Have a summary written, not just copy and paste a part of the article
Resource box or Signature should be a call to action with not more than 2 links.

Step 2 Article Submission
Next step is the submitting of the Article. Now you can have some submit it for you, but personally i never used a service like that. Or you can use an Article submitter tool. An Article submitter tool allows you to get your content out to as many sites as possible. There are many submitters out there and for the best one i found and still use is called Automatic Article Submitter ,this tool allows you not just to submit your article to 300 sites but also to spin the article into many different variations you want. And when you become more experienced with article writing you will learn that spinning an article to make more out of one is a good way to get yourself ranked on the search engines.

Some suggestions for article posting websites are:

Ezine Articles.com – this is the mother load of article sites. Always submit to this site
ArticleBiz.com
Articlebase.com
Articlecity.com
ArticleAlley.com
GoArticles.com

Basically article marketing is a strategy which is well worth doing. It is time consuming but it will reward you for a long time to come. It is one of the hottest trends online. Content marketing is so much more than just posting articles. But it sure is a good way to get started. The strategies are low cost.
