Marketing With Articles
Articles can be fun to write. The one great thing about article marketing is how versatile it is and how it attracts attention from readers. The attention may not always be good, but it always elicits some form of reaction.
Article marketing also doesn’t ask you to hire a writer or perhaps become an English professor. You just need to know the basics and be able to express your thoughts as clearly as possible. Moreover it can help you achieve the following:
Create marketing materials.
Article marketing creates an opportunity to touch base on press releases, e-books, case studies, website content, articles for article directory submission, tutorials, courses, and lots more. Just think of how many different types or marketing materials you can come up with simply through writing.
You can give something away that costs you nothing.
Articles can be one of the most effective freebies that you can give to your new subscribers, buyers and potential clients. You have to remember that Internet users are hungry for new information, so if you have any doubt about that fact, take a look at some of the better known industries that are already using the promise of knowledge and information as a marketing tool!
Users want to know how they can lose 10 lbs in 10 days, how they can practice green living or how they can make money from home and be their own boss! They want to discover the secrets of staying young or learn why people who live on a Mediterranean diet live longer than those who don’t. My personal favorite source of free information is e-books and I love to subscribe to websites that offer them as an incentive.
Utilize your landing page by increasing traffic to it.
How can article marketing increase web traffic?
You can link your Landing Page in your article. When a publisher picks your article or Internet users reams them and appreciate the information you have shared, they will most likely click your link to learn more.
Case in point: well-known, modern author in the action/suspense fiction genre made mention, in his latest novel, about a little known science institution located in California. This institution had not contracted the author to mention it, it just worked out nicely in his plot and added a sense of realism to the plight of the main characters. With this mention, the institution received floods of inquiries from the general public. Their website took in thousands more hits each day and their email boxes were flooded with questions about the experiments performed there.
So, if your articles are really good they become something worth sharing, so article marketing can be a great start for viral marketing. Another benefit is that you can get a lot of inbound links that go to your landing page, boosting your page ranking in search engines.
Earn while you promote.
You can also utilize your article marketing techniques to earn more for your business. You can sell e-books, PLR articles, reports, and case studies. You can also sell advertising space within your articles to niche-related marketers for extra income.
With all these great benefits of article marketing, why should you have a web presence?
Your articles will be useless without a dynamic Landing Page for them to visit once they’ve read your free information! The whole point of article marketing is to raise interest and drive traffic to your web presence, without a web presence to drive traffic to you’re just giving away free information and getting nothing in return!
Think of is this way: I went to a local Triple-A baseball game last summer where they were giving away free fleece blankets and baseball caps before the start of the game. The catch was that the tables where they were giving these items away were inside the stadium gates so you had to buy a ticket to see the game in order to get your free blanket and hat. Now, if they had been giving the blankets and hats away outside the stadium many people may not have bought a ticket to see the game! They would have picked up their free items and left without spending a penny. Ask yourself this: If you were the owner of the stadium, would that have been your desired result?
