If your website contains important information about your company that you work for or if it is your own company, being self-employed, well you have to get traffic and customers to it. Have you ever heard about article marketing? This is a very effective method to capture many people's attention by a way of informing them and also providing them with details that they would want to know.
How to Write your article?
Do you have experience blogging? Or have you written to a loved one? Then you are off to a good start. Everybody knows how to write, as we learn from a young age. But writing for an audience takes a different course and a lot of time. But the reason remains the same. You are writing because you want your articles to be read.
Professional writers may do the task for their job but asking any passionate writer out on the internet and they will tell you that they are writing first and foremost because they love what they are doing, as they write about their hobbies and sometimes their life. They want people to read their work. They want to help in any way and they want to inform.
Read, Help, Inform
Keep in mind these three principles. They can be your guide when you are writing your very first article. So where do you begin? The first question is what is your business about? Who is your target audience? They are the people whom you are going to address your articles for.
For example, let's say your products are a wide variety of flowers. You can target for occasions like weddings, mother's day, valentine's day or for special gifts. Actually, anybody can be interested with your product because they can be used for everday purpose. You can also focus your article on hotel management or the restaurateurs, even funeral homes and services. As flowers are used to either brighten the mood or to pay respect for loved ones.
Now that you know whom to write for and what to write about, you must also know that in Internet writing, there are rules that you must abide in order to succeed on this venture.
1. Write short paragraphs
Your articles need to be written for easy reading. You must understand that visitors who search the web for information don't really have much time to spend on it. Also they will only be scanning your articles first before they read the whole thing. Why? The web will provide them with a lot of information, and better choices for the subject that they are researching about.
2. Submit articles to different sites
You have to join a range of forums regarding the topic of your article to get feedback and reviews of your chosen sites. You must check the sites' Google ranking and their ranking in Alexa. You must choose the ones that rank high and has a high volume of traffic.
Here is a website to check out for: Best Free Article Submission Sites as they provide useful information on where to submit your articles. However, some of them block new registeration and others do not work now. I recommend to read the comments on this site and you decide which sites to use.
3. Have the minimum word count
Upon knowing which sites you are going to submit your articles, you can go over their rules about the word count and stick to it. Some sites will accept a minimum of 300 word count for articles, however I would write between 500 to 750 for a topic. Other sites will ask for a 500 or more minimum word count, which is acceptable. You have to check and make sure to make sure that your articles will not get rejected.
And lastly, in creating an article to promote your products or services, do not forget to fill out the author's bio box. This is your space to create a link to your own website and other sites for affiliate marketing. This is how you earn your keep in submitting lots of articles. Write your name, your company name, have a call to action button and a link to your site.
