Unfortunately, when it comes to article marketing, a lot of people do it wrong, and it doesn’t work for them. The problem is not with article marketing, however. So that you don’t make these same mistakes, let’s learn how to do article marketing right.

For the purposes of this article, we’re assuming that you’re not writing articles just to get your name in print, or just to entertain or even teach people. We’re assuming that article marketing is part of a money making venture for you. Basically, you’re using it to drive traffic to some sort of web page, be it a squeeze page, sales letter, or a blog.

In other words, you have an action you want your reader to perform when they get to the bottom of the article…click through to your “money site”. Just making this realization should make your article marketing efforts two or three times more effective. You see, an article is not just information. It’s essentially a sales letter. You’re trying to sell your reading on taking action when they’re done.

If you look at an article as if it were a sales letter, then, of course, the most important part is the headline. Right there is where you’re going to hook your readers. Look at the headline of this article, “How to Write an Effective Ezine Style Article.” That headline does several things. One, it weeds out the folks who are not interested in writing these sorts of articles. They’re not going to be interested in clicking through to your website, so who cares about them! Two, it makes a promise, that hopefully the article fulfills. It’s going to teach you how to do something.

“How to” headlines are some of the most effective headlines around. People use the Internet for information. Telling them how to do something they want to do is exactly what your hungry readers are looking for.

Of course, if you’re promising to tell your readers how to do something, hopefully you’ll deliver. At least, you’ll deliver enough so that the reader thinks there’s more to learn, if they click on your link. This is why a lot of your best article marketers never actually nail down the end of their articles with a heavy conclusion. They want the reader to feel a sense of needing something…like clicking on your link in your bio box.

(See how this article has done that very thing?)

Deep Arora posted “One Proven Method To Never Run Out Of Product Ideas Ever Again” and the idea was one that is so simple, I literally smacked myself on the forehead and said, “Why didn’t I think of that!”

What is one of the features of those horrid 40-mile-long sales pages that we see constantly? One feature is that many of the benefits of the product are written out in bullet point fashion. If they are lauding the product or describing problem alleviated by the product, you’ve got a set of headlines and article ideas, right there!

Good post, Arora!

The act of blogging is an idea that began in the late 1990′s. It began as a way to make a statement about something, via a webpage of one’s own and as an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or express their views on this page. What began as a mere opinions have now become personal pages on almost everything and anything under the sun and sky. As this development continues, online advertising is finding a new potential in blogging.

1. Blogging is dead-easy. The easiest way to own your corner of the Internet is through blogging. An extensive knowledge is not necessary. The average adult who can read and write, or click a mouse, can find enough information necessary to write a coherent viewpoint on any subject. It’s like having paper and pen before you to write about your concepts and plans, your experiences and opinions about products, and, hopefully, to attract the reader to try your product. If you have a computer and an Internet connection, then you can blog and make use of advertising as a method of monetizing your work.

2. Blogging is real and authoritative. We live in a time where advertising saturates our consciousness every day. It is easy to doubt the credibility of the promoters and of their claims. But with blogs, real people share their real experiences in real life. The advertising is simply using a way of monetizing to support the blog. It is also another resource for the searcher who landed on your blog’s page. Reading blogs on the first-hand use of a product is like talking face to face with people about their experiences before purchasing. Everyone wants to buy a proven product.

3. Blogging is low– or no-cost. Because blogs are not identified as an important means of advertising online, most sites see it as something of an “extra”, and therefore free. Any possibility of free exposure is a premium,especially for new ventures.

4. Blogging creates authority. The more you write about your experience and expertise on or about a product or industry, readers will find that they can trust your posts for their own information needs. Thus, as the relationships grows, you are seen as an authority and will gain the intrinsic exposure inherent with this expertise. Readers will begin to link to your site, subscribe to your RSS feeds and recommend your site to others. As you gain popularity, the payment due you, for advertising on your blog, increases.

5. Blogging builds your market. Here are some ways of using the blog:

-Use an autoresponder to create valuable and informative emails that are sent out automatically to your readers once they sign up. Make it easy for them to sign up and you might also consider offering them a freebie of some kind, as a reward for signing up to your newsletter or eZine.

-Write an effective signature for the forums you visit. Forum marketing is an excellent way to boost your readership at your blog.

-Understand your readers. Simple surveys for your readers to fill out will help you get to know them and their needs. And, by the way, people generally LOVE talking about themselves and seem to enjoy filling out forms, so this one is is a must-do.

-Become part of a blogger’s network. This is a collection of blogs that, generally, are in the same genre as yours. The ease with which readers can peruse headlines makes the convenience factor a very alluring one. All you have to do is write posts with provocative headlines (titles) and many more people will be clicking on the link to read the whole post.

-Utilize RSS. An RSS feed to your blog is another absolute “must do” as it is a method for your readers to stay updated about new posts to your blog. This way, they won’t have to remind themselves to visit every day to check for new posts, which, trust me, they won’t do, anyway.

Your business with a new impetus makes blogging an important tool in your marketing arsenal. Get to it!
