Article marketing is especially well suited for use by network marketing distributors and companies. Here are some compelling reasons to start writing and submitting articles to niche article directories:
1. Dramatically increase back-links to your web sites. Submitting articles about your products, or business opportunity will rapidly accelerate the number of back-links to your web pages. In fact, article marketing is arguably the fastest single method of adding massive numbers of valuable back-links to your sites.
Why are back-links important? Simple really. Back-links will generate long term, high quality traffic to your site... and they are used by most organic search engines to evaluate the importance and rankings for your site. The more quality back-links... the greater your traffic and profits.
2. Supercharge your traffic... F`R`E`E. That's right! When your articles appear on major article directories, they are read by thousands of highly qualified potential visitors daily. Since your bio/and hotlinks accompany the articles in the resource box, the reader has a direct link to your website or promotional packages. Readers of your articles have already qualified themselves with regard to their interest levels. By writing a compelling, useful, article which fills the readers needs and desires for information... you have taken a quantum leap forward in the selling cycle.
3. Increased PR. Articles submitted to article directories provide valuable free content to editors and publishers of relevant ezines, newsletters, websites and print publications. These editors and publishers are hungry for additional new content to provide to their readers. Your articles give these publications the content they need and want. Your fully linked bio/resource box accompanies every article that is reprinted... which means a continuing growing base of published articles for you. This is viral marketing at its' most productive.
4. Capitalize and expand the use of already available materials. Most network marketing firms have tons of feature articles, brochures, etc. sitting in their files that can be put to multiple use. By simply converting and re-purposing existing materials you have a never ending supply of article materials that are perfect for free syndication.
Most network marketing companies have PR firms on retainer, or an in-house department, whose job it is to produce feature articles for you. Why not simply tell them to start utilizing the power of free article distribution to enhance your product and opportunity promotion efforts?
5. Reduce overstrained advertising budgets. A serious effort to get dozens (or hundreds) of articles promoting your mlm products, will enable you to greatly reduce paid advertising budgets... without suffering a decline in quality traffic to your web sites. In fact, the efficiency of article marketing is so superior to paid advertising that some companies and promotional agencies are re-allocating budget dollars away from paid ads to produce large quantities of feature article materials... which they then syndicate free through niched article directories.
A powerful extension of this concept is to provide pre-written, compliance approved, articles to your distributor network... giving them the right to add their own bio/resource box with links to your company supplied distributor web sites. This enables them to generate quality traffic to their sites... which results in greater levels of product sales, and high quality business opportunity leads.
One of the glaring "missing links" in the onlne promotional tools, supplied by network marketing companies, is the mechanism to "close the marketing loop" for the distributor. Article marketing provides that mechanism in a way that is powerful, productive, and free.
In summation, your network marketing enterprise will experience strong benefits from article marketing. A serious program of article marketing will save you time and money, increase your sales and profits, enhance your image, and expand your reach. Article marketing will boost your cash flow, expand visitor counts, and allow you the luxury of reallocating limited budgets to special projects.
The greatest benefit, however, may be in the element of distributor support and accelerating product sales and recruiting. Article marketing may be one of the most efficient and lowest cost generators of high quality sales leads in existance.
