How To Market Your Articles: Article Resource Sites



 This is one of the best ways of getting people to read your articles.

Article resource sites are sites where people post their articles for other people to read. That is their purpose – to have people read articles other people have written. Many article resource sites have hundreds of authors on a range of subjects.

Not only can you benefit by reading other people’s articles at article resource sites but you can also post your free articles there yourself.

People can read your free article at the article resource site and then click on the link to your site in the resource box at the end of the article. Thus, another visitor to your site.

There are thousands of places to submit articles and the following is a comprehensive list of what is available. If you are writing on a particular topic try to find article resource sites dedicated to that topic. Your topic may also be a sub topic of another group.

How To Market Your Articles: Signature Files And Resource Boxes



Signature Files

A signature file or ‘sig’ is a message at the bottom of your email. It’s a little paragraph including your signature at the end of an article or e-mail. With the sig file you have an opportunity to market yourself to people.

For instance I might sign off my email like this:

Regards

Dr Sola Adetunji
 http://www.adetunjisola.net

This is a very small sig file, but it does one important thing!

It tells people that I am Dr Sola Adetunji  at http://www.adetunjisola.net

People are naturally curious and if they see that http://www.adetunjisola.net
Is a clickable link they are likely to click on it thus taking them to my site.

How To Market Your Articles: Auto responders



Perhaps the most misunderstood and under-used marketing tool on the internet are autoresponders.

What is an autoresponder?
An autoresponder is an automatic response email. When someone clicks on the autoresponder email address they send a blank message to the autoresponder email address. An email returns to them with the information they requested.

The person who set up the autoresponder put the information in the body of the automatic email. For instance, putting your free article in the body of the automatic email.

Then when someone sends a message to that autoresponder you get the article in your inbox.

Autoresponders are great for giving away free articles.

For example, I have written a free article about tips for affiliates and the autoresponder address is article@sendfree.com. You can click on this link and it will open an email message. You send a blank email to this address and back comes my article in your inbox. Try it now to see if it works.

How To Market Your Articles Using E-zines



How many ezines do you think are out there in internet world?

I really do not know. However it has got to be tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands.

Guess what?

Most of them have a subscriber base of fewer than 2,000 and very few people are targeting this subscriber base. The big boys are just targeting the large subscriber ezines.

There is a huge market in getting your targeted ezine ad to tens of thousands of people.

Here are 3 ways you can do it:

1. Ezine Ad Swaps

You can swap ezine ads with other ezine editors. The cost to you – ZERO!

You can just approach another ezine editor and ask to swap 6 ads in their next 6 issues, thus featuring their ezine ad in your next 6 issues.

2. Pay for Ezine Ads

Negotiate a deal to pay for ezine ads. If someone has a subscriber base of 1,000 subscribers and they currently run little or no ezine ads, ask them if they would like to receive some money to run your ezine ad. Odds are, they’ll agree!

How To Market Your Articles: Online Classified Ads



The 2 best places for online classified ads are  http://www.yahoo.com and  http://www.aol.com

Online classified ads are very similar to offline classified ads except that they are available world wide. Think of your local newspaper being available in hundreds of countries! That is the power of online classifieds.

Suffice to say online classifieds are huge but are mostly full of people who are selling goods and services.

To differentiate yourself from the crowd why not post a classified ad for your free article. A small percentage of people do this and they get great results.

It is another fantastic way to get people interested in your articles.

How To Market Your Articles: Newsgroups

Newsgroups are a great way to give away free articles and to get people to read your work. Newsgroups are basically groups where you interact with other online users to get information. Think of a topic and there is probably a newsgroup for it.

To find out more information about newsgroups go to
 http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/basics.html
People expect to get free information in newsgroups so what better way to market than to give them a free article you have written.
Before you start posting to newsgroups make sure you familiarize yourself with the posting guidelines. You can find an FAQ on posting to newsgroups at  http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/posting_faq.html
There are a few important things to consider about newsgroups;

Free Marketing For Your Free Articles


If you are writing free articles you DO NOT want to be spending money marketing those free articles. Yet you still need to market them.

A few people will read your articles at your web site but you need LARGE

NUMBERS of people to read your articles so you need to market them effectively.

Estimate the time it took you to write that article.Assuming it’s 1hour. You will need 3hours hours to do the marketing.The general advice is  spend 25% of your time writing your content and 75% of your time marketing it.

Luckily there are thousands of places on the internet to advertise your free articles. In fact for some subjects you probably would not be able to find all the free places to market your articles. There are THAT MANY!

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing:Strong Conclusion (9)



You must conclude with a strong message.

Your conclusion should either be a message that summarizes your article or entices your reader to take further action.

The first way to conclude your article is to ‘wrap up’ your article by summarizing what it says. Do this as quickly as possible and preferably in one sentence.

A concluding sentence “rounds off” your article leaving people feel like they have finished reading the article.

Have you ever read a newspaper article that was cut off halfway through the article because the editor placed another article or some advertising to close to the article? You don’t get to read the whole article and there is no conclusion. It is as if it was not worth reading the article at all.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing:Target Your Article,Target Your Audience (8)




This is VERY IMPORTANT.Target Your Article
Make it on one topic only and stick to the topic.
Do not try to write about 2 or 3 things in the same article. Keep your focus on one topic only to keep the interest of your reader.

Writing about 2 or 3 different things will just confuse your reader. Instead of writing about 2 or 3 topics, write 2 or 3 different articles each on a particular topic.

The one big advantage of the internet is that it gives the small guy the same opportunity to succeed as the big guy (or big corporation that should be!). But only if you find a niche.

Target your article on one topic and make it a niche topic.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing :Do Not Be Too Long! (7)



How long should Your Article be? The top internet marketers have realized that if someone is going to read something they will read the whole article.

Testing has shown that people first get interested in the topic, then once they are interested in the topic they read the whole article.

The most important part is to grab their attention and outline the benefits to them. Then write your article as long as it needs to be to get your message across.

Whether your article is 1 page or 10 pages does not seem to matter. They will read it.

But as we have just learned previously, this does not give you a license to waffle.

Even if you are writing a long article (say 10 pages) you still need to go straight to important points

My personal preference is for shorter articles of between 400 and 1,000 words. It seems that with this length I can get my message across quite easily.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing:Don’t Beat Around The Bush (6)



This is never more important than on the internet. People get bored quickly and there are a million other articles they could be reading instead of yours.

Get to the point quickly – in the very first line!

Want to turn people off? Then waffle,beat around the bush!

Write your article as if you are being pursued and you want to quickly get out of the blocks and move on to a fast finish.

Get the benefits out quickly, write in short sentences and write in short paragraphs.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing: - Outline The Benefits To Your Reader(5)



Why are they reading your article?

Your reader will want to know what they can achieve by reading your article, so portray the benefits of what you are writing about.

Write in a positive frame of mind. ‘How I Made $10,000 in the Property Market in 1 Month!’ rather than ‘Investing in Real Estate’.

The heading ‘Investing in Real Estate’ could be an interesting article. But as a potential reader of this article, I really do not know what is in it for me. It might be good but I do not know as it does not inform me of any benefit.

The heading ‘How I made $10,000 in the Property Market in 1 Month!’ tells me immediately of a benefit. Here is this person telling me they made $10,000 in one month in real estate. The first thing that comes to my mind is how can I make this sort of money in one month in the property market?

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing: - The First Sentence(4)



Behind the heading the first sentence is the next most important part of your article.

The first sentence has to be as inviting as the heading as this is the main drop off point where readers can decide not to read on.

From the heading the reader may have decided to read the article. If the first sentence does not continue that initial interest you are in trouble.The reader may stop right there and then!

If you did not ask a question in your heading then think about asking one here.It could even be another question and aim at setting up the reader and win his interest.

If your heading had the ’10 Tips to Success’ then in the first sentence tell people you are just about to give them those 10 tips.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing: - Use Question And Exclamation Marks (2)



Writing long sentences and long paragraphs with no exclamation marks and asking no questions is the quickest way to disaster when writing articles on the internet.

According to Google, there are billions and billions of web sites out there. How are you going to get noticed?

Be different from the rest. When writing an article you can use a question as your heading.

For example, if you were writing about kangaroos in Australia you could have the heading say:

“Do you really find kangaroos in down town Sydney?”

The question will need to be answered. If the reader is interested in the topic they will read the body of the article to find out the answer. If they are not interested in the topic they will not have read the article no matter what you wrote.

Secrets Of Effective Article Writing: - Use lots of White Space(1)




On the internet people read differently to how they read newspapers and books. Generally people are in a hurry whilst they are on the internet. They do not have all day to browse and as such, they like to read in ‘chunks’ of information.

What this means is writing small paragraphs or even ‘one sentence’ paragraphs will go a long way to impact the people.

With small paragraphs there is a lot of ‘white space’ in the background

By way of comparison, take a look at your local newspaper. It is mostly covered in writing. There is very little ‘white space’ in the background.

Article Writing: What Topics Should You Write About?



 Getting what topics to write about is not difficult.Take for example if you are able to answer the question: What have you done today? You could get as many topics as possible.
Let’s assume your answer is :Played a sport, did some cooking, looked after the kids, read a book, watched your favorite TV program, went to a sporting event, surfed the net, drank coffee at Starbucks, ate at a restaurant, saw a movie.

We can  design topics you could write about around these things that you possibly might have done today.

Played a sport – if your sport was golf you could write an article “How I went

From a 26 Handicapper to a 12 in 1 Year!”

Did some cooking – you could write an article entitled “3 Quick Meals You

Can Make in Under 15 Minutes”.

Looked after the kids – your article could be “5 Ways to Entertain Toddlers” or Seven Secrets On How To Raise Godly Children

Read a book – your article could be “How To Stay Awake Longer When

Reading in Bed”

Watched your favorite TV program – “How to Limit Yourself to Only 2 Hours of TV Watching Per Day”

Went to a sporting event – your article could be “How to Get Free Tickets to Sporting Events”

Surfed the net – your article could be “How To Download Expensive Products Free Of Charge”

Drank coffee at Starbucks – your article could be “7 Things I Like About Starbucks Coffee”

Ate at a restaurant – your article could be “My Top Ten Restaurants in Dallas”

Went to a movie – your article could be “A Personal Review of Alias”

The possibilities are endless and it can be as simple as starting with what you did today. You could then list all of your interests. Then list all the things you are good at. List all the things you like.In fact there are unlimited number of topics you can write about!
