Top 5 Tips on Article Marketing

By Andreja Koprivnik


For starters let's just state what "article marketing" really is? Well this is an Internet business practice used mostly by marketing affiliates. It is also used by online businesses to promote their products or drive traffic to their websites or blogs.

There are many advantages to article marketing, not just affiliates but also all internet marketers. Article marketing is free, simple, anyone can do it and most of all it is entirely legitimate.

Here are 5 simple tips on article marketing:

1. The Title

The Title is the most important part; through it you attract visitors and therefore free traffic for your partner links or to your website. You need to tell your readers what your article is all about in just a few words. If you set the wrong title people are just going to dismiss it and move to the next one. For example, if you are writing about how to build a boat your self. Then your title could be "Build a Boat Your Self - 5 top tips for success" or "Top 5 Tips on Building a Boat at Home".

2. The Summary

In every article directory there is a summary section. This is for a 2 to 5 sentences short description of your article. This is the second most important part of your article, besides your title. One of the things you can do is to ask the reader a relevant question and then promise to provide an answer within the article itself. If you don't know what to write in the summary the directories usually choose 2 or 5 first sentences from your article body. I do recommend that you write your own summary, this will make your article more appealing to the readers.

3. The Body

For the best effect put the most important information on the top. Write short sentences and paragraphs and use subheadings to accordance. If you promise a number of tips in the title, make sure that you deliver them. The average article is between 400 and 700 words. Some article directories prefer 300 to 500 words, but the firs outline is the best, but no more than 700 words. People don't like to read that much, they just want the basic information that they are looking for. Large articles tend to drive them away.

4. The Resource Box

Here is where you get to sell your products or promote other people's products. In this section you call your visitors to action. Inspire them to click to the links you provided. Some article directories only allow up to 200 words or less. There are directories that allow affiliate links in resource boxes, like Go Articles, Hub Pages, Us Freeads and Squidoo. Directories like ArticleBase and Google Knol and some others don't allow them. So in those directories you can promote your website or blog.

5. Spell Checking and Proofreading before you submit your articles

Before submitting your article, always check your spelling. Writing an article of great importance but with misspelled words will only ruin your reputation as a writer. You could potentially lose a great amount of readers with misspelled words. Also before you submit an article, proof read it or read it to your relatives or friends. Ask for their opinion. If the feed back you receive is good than proceed and submit the article.

These are the 5 crucial tips you need to incorporate in your article marketing if you want to succeed. Just for the bonus, here are some article directories you can submit your articles for free:
