How To Start An Internet Business: Article Marketing
Do you have an idea rolling around in your head? Would you like to know how to start an internet business? It is actually very easy, and something you can work on today.
In the past few years, I have begun a number of businesses. I have even been able to help others get their businesses off the ground, and each time I get started, I always use article marketing. I do this because well-written articles will bring in high search engine rankings and in turn more traffic to my site. Let me show you why it works.
The first reason they work is because you submit them to an authority site. When you submit to article directories like Ezine articles, Article Snatch, or Articlesbase, many times your article will get ranked in Google for your particular keyword right away. Usually within weeks. So write a 300-700 article with a resource box that points back to your website, and use the authority of these sites to build your reputation as an expert in the field.
The second reason they work is because they generate direct traffic. Once you submit your article to an article directory, other people come and pick it up. Let’s say you have a website about dogs, and these are other people’s sites: a dog blog, dog health forum, dogs.com, puppies.com. They all come and pick up your article, post it on their site, and when people come to visit those sites, they read your article. They also see your resource box, and then they can find their way over to your website. You get easy traffic all from that one article.
Speaking of links, articles provide great backward links. You can think of a backward link as a vote. Every time someone clicks on one of these links, your page gets a vote. The more votes, the higher your rank. The higher your rank, the more traffic you get and thereby the more business.
Just because you get a high search engine ranking does not mean you are going to hold on to it if you do not keep working on it. This is because there are other competitors trying to get that same spot. But using article marketing can help you keep it. Writing and posting articles is your best first step in starting your internet business.
