Write & Submit Articles To Promote Your Business And Get
Traffic.
Many of the newbies that are being exposed to the internet on a
daily basis have dreams of running a website and making it
successful. For some, this is a grueling task and leaves them
short-winded trying to do so.
There are numerous marketing techniques that can be used to
generate traffic on a regular basis. Out of all of them I have
tried, writing seems to work the best.
Writing articles for ezines, newsletters, websites and forums in
addition to using other marketing strategies keeps your website
visible.
The internet has turned out to be a publisher's paradise. Never
before has the chance to publish your ideas and insights been
this easy. In some cases all it costs is some of your time. You
can write an article this morning and have it published in the
evening.
Writing was once a secret weapon for many marketers, but now it
has been thrown in the open and is now being used by many
people. It has work wonders for me since I started doing it. My
articles have appeared in ezines, newsletters and on websites
with varying degrees of success. Here are some guidelines on how
to write articles:
A. Write about what you know. Make sure it's related to your
business (so you can use the keywords you want to rank with) and
helpful (so it gets published). Once you get thinking about it,
you'll probably find there are hundreds of articles you could
write that are helpful. You may even have some of them partly
written already in your instruction manuals or installation
guides, etc. Another good idea is to think of all the questions
you get asked by customers and potential customers. These
questions show you what people are interested in. If you write
an article answering every one of these questions, you'll get
published, and you'll also show yourself to be a credible expert.
B. The best articles are only as long as they need to be. Keep
it short and sweet - there's nothing wrong with a 400 word
article. By the same token, if you need 1500 words to say all
you need to say, that's fine as well
C. Simply write in a style that your audience will be
comfortable with. If they're from the old school, don't write
like I am. Don't use contractions, don't end sentences with
prepositions, and don't start sentences with "and" or "but". But
if they're not old school, just use conversational English. In
fact, the more of yourself you include in the article, the more
engaging it will be. The key is to make it readable.
Once you've written your article, you'll need to develop a list
of publishers that may be interested in publishing it. The best
way to accomplish this is to display your articles on your
website. Place a subscription box on each of your article pages
to enable your visitors to subscribe. This list should be used
to send your new articles to your list of publishers. "Submit
Article" in the Google search will give you many sites where you
can submit your articles.
Happy writing!
