Article Marketing Success - Do This Before You Write Or Submit Any Article
In this article I simply want to get right to the very basics of article marketing because a lot of marketers new to internet marketing seem to just jump in half way and write a few articles and expect that they are going to get lots and lots of traffic from such few articles.
Now while this is not an impossibility it is also not an every day happening.
If you are not prepared or know how article marketing actually works you could suffer some serious levels of disappointment that could cause you to miss out on this very effective traffic generation strategy.
To really get started with article marketing you must ask yourself "Why am I writing articles at all?" It may seem obvious but it makes sense to ask this question.
Here are some reasons you may want to consider - to inform - to educate - to gain expert status - for backlinks - to build a list - to drive traffic to a blog, review page or sales page This is by no means an exhaustive list and you may have some other reasons too.
The point is to consider them very carefully before you proceed with using article writing and submission as a traffic generation method as it does affect what you will do from here on.
Now, Article Marketing builds traffic slowly but once you gather momentum through steady writing and submitting quality keyword rich articles it can be quite rewarding.
The slow momentum is partly due to how the search engines work.
Be aware that 10 articles may not cause an avalanche of traffic to your website that said you do not need to write a thousand articles for this method of traffic generation to work either.
You must take your audience into consideration in all your writing.
Once your articles are submitted they will be there building you traffic for a long time to come.
I have known of single articles that have pulled over 6,000 views over a short space of time.
However, let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
The more you write the better you will become at writing content that your target audience wants to read.
Make sure you are not using article marketing as your traffic generation strategy just because it is free.
In reality it is not free.
You must put in the time required to write the articles.
The good news is that once you have submitted that article start writing the next one.
