Writing articles to promote your website is, hands-down,
one of the best ways to get targeted traffic to your
website. The best part is that this strategy builds itself
over long-term.
One article you write today will continue to get you
business for years and years!
Now, most people know that they need to submit that article
to directories (or if you did not, you know it now). Unfortunately, too many marketers miss the biggest golden
nugget of them all: E-zine publishers!
Others who publish newsletters NEED your content and are
looking for it. They are looking for good material for
their readers. This means that your article could get
featured in a huge newsletter! Imagine having a newsletter
of 50,000 subscribers or even more feature your article?
Can you imagine the kind of traffic that would bring you!
Besides the traffic generation, here are 6 critical reasons
you need to start submitting to e-zines immediately if you
really want to build your Internet business.
1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by
submitting articles to e-zines. This is done through the
resource box that is added at the end of your article -
this resource box allows you to have a biography of
yourself and a link back to your website.
2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you
write about. This will give you and your business extra
credibility which will help you compete against your
competition. The more credibility you get, the more joint
ventures and affiliates you can recruit to sell your
products.
3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's
home page. If they publish each issue on their home page
this will give you some extra exposure. This will also help
other websites find your article to re-publish.
4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher
archives their e-zine on their site. People might want to
read the back issues before they make the decision to
subscribe. This can be great if their website is search
engine optimized and your article starts to come up for
good keywords!
5. It is possible that other e-zine publishers will publish
your articles in their free e-books. Once your article is
known as a re-printable article, it can start ending up
everywhere!
6. Are you thinking about launching a second facet to your
business of consulting? Consulting is a great way to add
extra income to your online ventures. When you have your
articles being spread around the Internet, your credibility
is huge and getting great consulting clients is easy.
These are all the benefits just from submitting articles to
publishers. If you can combine that strategy with
submitting your articles to article directories as well,
then your articles will go much further!
The benefit of submitting to directories is that the
publishers come find YOU. You don't even have to beg them
or “bother” them to publish your article.
Most publishers are actively looking for material for their
newsletter, when they like what you write - most will
contact you to let you know that they are about to publish
your article.
This is the best time to reply to them and send them more
of the previous articles you have written. It is not
unlikely at all to have the same publisher feature you as
an author multiple times a month!
So, if you have not started using articles yet - get to it!
They are one of the best ways to build short-term AND
long-term traffic to your websites.
