6 Reasons You Must Submit Articles To E-zines
Writing articles to promote your website is, hands-down, one of
the best ways to get targeted traffic to your website. The best
part is that this strategy builds itself over long-term.
One article you write today will continue to get you business
for years and years!
Now, most people know that they need to submit that article to
directories (or if you did not, you know it now). However, too
many marketers miss the biggest golden nugget of them all!
Ezine publishers!
Others who publish newsletters NEED your content and are looking
for it. They are looking for good material for their readers.
This means that your article could get featured in a huge
newsletter! Imagine having a newsletter of 50,000 subscribers or
even more feature your article...
Can you imagine the kind of traffic that would bring you!
Besides the traffic generation, here are 6 critical reasons you
need to start submitting to Ezines immediately if you really
want to build your internet business.
1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by
submitting articles to E-zines. This is done through the
resource box that is added at the end of your article - this
resource box allows you to have a biography of yourself and a
link back to your website.
2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you write
about. This will give you and your business extra credibility
which will help you compete against your competition. The more
credibility you get, the more joint ventures and affiliates you
can recruit to sell your products. 3. Your article might also be
placed on the publisher's home page. If they publish each issue
on their home page this will give you some extra exposure. This
will also help other websites find your article to re-publish.
4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives
their e-zine on their site. People might want to read the back
issues before they make the decision to subscribe. This can be
great if their website is search engine optimized and your
article starts to come up for good keywords! 5. It is possible
that other e-zine publishers will publish your articles in their
free e-books. Once your article is known as a re-printable
article, it can start ending up everywhere! 6. Are you thinking
about launching a second facet to your business of consulting?
Consulting is a great way to add extra income to your online
ventures. When you have your articles being spread around the
internet, your credibility is huge and getting great consulting
clients is easy.
These are all the benefits just from submitting articles to
publishers. If you can combine that strategy with submitting
your articles to article directories as well, then your articles
will go much further!
The benefit of submitting to directories is that the publishers
come find YOU. You don't even have to beg them or "bother" them
to publish your article.
Most publishers are actively looking for material for their
newsletter, when they like what you write - most will contact
you to let you know that they are about to publish your article.
This is the best time to reply to them and send them more of the
previous articles you have written. It is not unlikely at all to
have the same publisher feature you as an author multiple times
a month!
So, if you have not started using articles yet - get to it! They
are one of the best ways to build short-term AND long-term
traffic to your websites.
