Article Marketing for the Not-so-Internet-Savvy

July 22nd, 2008 by askweb20


If you have an online business, you know that your business will not be successful without people visiting your site. What you need to do then is to establish a marketing plan that is both efficient and effective.

One of the ways to promote your website is through article marketing. You write about your products, about your business and about yourself. Article marketing is nothing more than writing countless articles related to your business and making it available in the Internet for everyone to search for and for people to be directed to your website.

For the not-so-internet-savvy, article marketing can be a simple yet rewarding marketing plan. Here is what you can do.

1. Establish your time frame for article marketing. It could be a two-week period or a one-month period. As long as you identify your article marketing time frame, keep at it. It means that you shouldn’t stop and get discouraged. Just start doing it and people will start flocking to your website.

2. Decide on how many articles you can submit each week. It would be better to do a weekly goal. Can you write 25 articles per week? If you do, well and good, then do it. However, if you are still getting the hang of this strategy, once a day would be a good frequency. If you are pressed for time because of other concerns, then at least three articles a week would be a good start.

3. Before writing your articles, choose your keywords carefully. Think of the keywords that people are most likely to search about in relation to your website. There are a number of keyword tools online-some of them are paid but some are free like Google’s Keyword Tool.

4. Write like crazy! When you already have your keywords and your weekly target, it’s time for you to sit down and start writing! It would be better for you to write in blocks. Each time you write, determine to really write as quickly as you can without sacrificing the quality of your articles. Remember that in article marketing, quantity means more than quality. But this shouldn’t be your excuse for writing poor and crappy articles.

5. Submit to article directories. After you’ve written your pieces and have edited them for typos and for errors, it’s time to go to article directories like ezinearticles, amazine, and others. You can find a list of article directories at Top 50 Article Directories.
