Write Internet Marketing Articles for Profit
The majority of today’s Internet marketers are well aware that effective and well-written articles are invaluable for promoting their web sites and businesses. However, not just any article will do. There are some techniques well worth considering.
Here are some tips you can use to build your article to achieve max publicity. And--it’s both quick and easy.
First, there’s your MAIN CONCEPT. Decide on your primary theme. It should be closely associated with your web site, because you are trying to target your intended audience/prospects.
Second, come up with your TITLE and INTRODUCTION
Although the wording will probably be rough at first, that can be fixed later. Focus on one or two intro paragraphs, telling your readers what your article is about. This process often leads to a workable title.
Next, DRAFT YOUR CONTENT
As yourself which major points you’ll include, and jot them down. They don’t have to be in order, at first. You may also need to write a few notes of explanation with each. Then, organize your sequence, and make sure you’ve covered all the basics.
Fourth, FLESH OUT YOUR CONTENT
Put meat on your skeleton’s bones. Explain in some detail what you mean, with each one of your points, and include some detail/example. Don’t include affiliate links or one to your own web site, unless requested. Some publishers don’t want this type of content.
But, if you need to link to a reputable in-context resource, use a main web site URL. Remember that you’ll have the opportunity to link your own site at the end of your piece.
And, beware of sounding like an advertorial, as publishers want real quality articles that will provide knowledge and pique interest. Further, unless otherwise specified, go for 500-800 words. Now you’re ready to revise this draft!
Then, construct your Resource Box, if you’ve been asked to supply one.
Place this at the end of your article, providing a brief and relevant bio. Use only a few sentences and probably just one link, if permitted.
Afterwards, LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE!
Give it some space if you’ve got the luxury of a little time, so that you’ll return refreshed, ready to exercise constructive self-criticism. This process can really improve the quality and saleability of your article! Read it as though you were a publisher, or a vender!
THIS ISN’T THE END, THOUGH! YOU NEED ONE MORE FINE-TOOTH COMB EDIT!
You may be surprised at errors, awkwardness, lack of flow, etc. So, finish with the ultimate polishing job. You may find that your piece is accepted over those who just won’t perform this last and vital step! And, unlike them, you will not have wasted your time. . . .
