3 Top Tips For Article Marketers….

Article marketing is one of the most used forms of marketing on the
Internet. In fact, just about every Internet Marketer uses articles
in some way or another. However, if you don’t write articles the
right way then they won’t give you any real results. Here are 3
tips for writing a great article.

1.  Follow a Formula

If you remember back to your schools day, you probably learned to
write essays and term papers a certain way. You were taught to
follow a basic formula because that’s what worked. And following a
basic formula for writing articles is what works too.

You want to target a keyword or keyword phrase in every article
that you write. Then you want to make sure you include that word or phrase in the title of the article, in the introduction (the first
paragraph), in the conclusion (the last paragraph), and two or
three times in the body (the main or middle part) of the article.

Then in the introduction you want to tell the reader what the
article is going to be about. In the body of the article you want
to tell them what you need to tell them. And in the conclusion you
want to tell them what you just told.

That is the formula that you should follow for every article that
you write.

2.  Make it Readable

The second of the 3 tips for writing a great article is to make the
article readable. In other words, make sure just about anyone can
pull up the article and read it.

You don’t want the article to be too difficult to read and you
don’t want it to be too easy either. The last thing you want to do
is make it a bunch of nonsense words and sentences.

So make sure you keep your sentences short. Make sure you keep your paragraphs short. And you also want to make sure that you don’t use any big words.

3. Give Value

The final of the 3 tips for writing a great article is to give
value in the article. You want to make sure that you teach the
reader something or entertain the reader. Preferably, you should do
both.

Remember that the point of writing an article is to get people to
click through to somewhere else (where you will try to market
something to them). If your article isn’t any good then the reader
won’t click through. So make sure you give value in all of your
articles.

3 tips for writing a great article are to follow a formula, make it
readable, and to give value. Anytime you write an article to market
anything you need to make sure you follow these 3 tips. If you do
then you will have great results. If you don’t then you’re just
wasting your time.

The Top 10 Article Directories Online

Writing articles is a great way to help market on the Internet. It
doesn’t take a lot of time and it’s completely free. If the proper
keywords are targeted then the article will get a lot of views and
this will result in traffic for the person doing the article
marketing. There are many great places to submit an article on the
Internet.

Before we get to the top 10 article submission sites, let’s take a
quick look at how article writing works with Internet Marketing.

There are three main parts to writing and submitting any article
online. The first part involves choosing the keywords you want to
target and then researching the article. The next part involves
actually writing the article. The third part is submitting the
article along with a call to action.

So you want to decide on the keyword phrase you want to target for an article. This will dictate what the article will be about. Once
you’re ready, then you need to write the article being sure to
include the keyword phrase in the title, the introduction, the
conclusion, and a couple times throughout the body of the article.

Then when you’re done writing the article you will submit it to one
or more article submission sites.

Here are the 10 best article submission sites:

EzineArticles

Article Dashboard

Go Articles

Articles Base

Article City

Article Mark

Article Alley

iSnare

Search Warp

Idea Marketers

Not all of these sites are the same (EzineArticles is the best).
Some of them are better than others, and all of them have their own
set of rules that must be followed. So make sure you know the rules
before submitting or you’ll waste a lot of time and energy
submitting articles only to have to rewrite them because they got
rejected by the site.

For example, some of these sites allow you to include links in the
article while others don’t. Some of these sites will let you have
affiliate links with your articles while other sites won’t. So
again, make sure you know what is and isn’t allowed on each site.

When you write an article online for the purpose of article
marketing then you’ll have to submit that article to one or more
article submission sites. Above you have the 10 best article
submission sites. Take advantage of all these sites and you will
certainly have success with article marketing.

My name is Colleen Slater.  I am the author of the free 60 minute affiliate ebook which explains simply how I’ve created a $10,000.00 per month income online as an affiliate niche marketer.

Here’s a bit of background to my story.

I actually started venturing into internet marketing in around 2001.  At that time I spent so much money online buying the next best product that was going to make me rich that the police fraud squad called me to check that all the purchases were mine and that my card hadn’t been stolen (now THAT was an embarrassing conversation, believe me :O)

At that point in time reprint rights seemed to be THE thing and I spent a fortune outsourcing someone to create a reprint site that I was very proud of that virtually nobody ever visited.

I couldn’t really afford the money I was spending at that time TRYING to become successful online and after about a year and a half I through it away feeling like a complete failure.

Flash forward to the end of 2005.

Something happened in my life that was one of the most horrendous ordeals of my life involving my children from my first marriage.  My ex husband didn’t return them to my home and the I was forced to get legal counsel to represent me in court.

Thankfully my children were returned to me after a relatively short period of time – however, a family court proceeding that started in 2005 is STILL ongoing.

My current husband and I didn’t have enough income to be able to afford a solicitor and I couldn’t risk losing my children.

I Had To Take Massive Action

I had no choice.

I remembered internet marketing.

I KNEW that I could do it…I was just missing something somewhere along the line.

I needed to fund a prolonged legal case as if my life depended on it – and as the mother of three children my life DID depend on it.

I lived and breathed creating an online income.

I had NO CHOICE.

There was no other option.

I HAD to make money and I had to make money now – yesterday, in fact!

So I started getting up at 4am every day to start to create an online income.  I worked very hard for the first few months and a lot less hard as time went by.

And there lies my story and MY secret….

You have to want it SO BAD that you can taste it and breathe it through every pore in your body.

It’s true.  When something comes along in your life that gives you no choice you WILL do it….at any other time you’ll just make excuses like:

I’m too tired,

I have no time,

This is too hard,

I can’t do it,

I’m hopeless,

I’m not a guru,

This isn’t for me,

Everyone will think I’m a failure,

I can’t afford to do this

Let me be straight with you, if you CAN’T afford to do this then you really NEED to do this.

In around 2006 a beloved friend of mine in the US sent me a DVD that had helped change her father’s life around.

Silly me….I let it gather dust for around 5 months and then in January 2006 I decided to watch it.

That DVD changed my life forever….

What was it?

The much parodied “The Secret”.

How did it change my life….

It changed MY perspective.

It made me belief that I deserved all the things that I longed for – our own home, financial freedom, more free time, a well-funded retirement.

It made me believe that I could do anything I set my mind to.

It taught me to change the negative thoughts that had been filling my mind for years into positive thoughts.

And from that time onwards my life changed for the better in EVERY facet of my life…my relationships, my health, my state of mind, and of course my bank account.

So if you take away anything from my story take this:

That you have to REALLY have to want those dreams on your list…and be prepared to do what it takes to get them.

That you have to believe that you DESERVE all those dreams on your list…and go out there and get them.

Warmly

Colleen
