| My question is how does a person get started with article marketing I've heard the importance of it from numerous sources. I also understand the viral aspect of it and how important that can be in your marketing efforts. I just don't know how to go about writing an article should I use plr articles and then break those articles down and compose my articles any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jaredh,
I learned from a great mentor that when you go write an article just start and it will flow. Write what you are passionate about and what you feel would add value to your readers.
If you are targeting a specific group share some knowledge that you just picked up and pass it along to readers.
There are additional sources out there if you are looking to outsource your copywriting that can assist you as well. You can hire freelancers to write for you. However, if you are writing & submitting on a regular basis this would definitely be more costly versus writing your own material.
Copywriting is key: Dan Kennedy and Joe Vitale both are great copywriters & have great books they have written about copywriting.

I tell people if they do blogs or article submitting,these are just tools to use. The fortune is in the calls. I know people are afraid of it but the fact is that is where i make money.
I use everything article submitters,autoresponders,blogs and voice broadcasting but these are just tools. I think some people think they will get automatic sign ups,i have once or twice but everytime i call the people to follow up
The fortune is in the follow up

jaredh,
Further to what Aniko said: This is a technique that professional writers use, and it is very effective.
Just start writing the first thing that comes to mind and continue doing this. Your first draft will be rubbish, but it will be done.
Now start to edit, which means start rewriting what you have so that it's clear to understand, as you come to something that's not quite right, check your facts and rewrite. If you find that you're not covering what you want to say, you can always redirect your writing. The point is by STARTING, you will achieve SOMETHING that you can edit and polish.
This is how I've written this comment. I started with just a vague idea of what I wanted to say, and then it flowed from me. I typed almost like a typist. I am not a typist, but a two-finger jockey of the keyboard.
The biggest problem in writing in our own self editing WHILE we're writing. Write first; edit second. Writing is writing, editing is editing.
If you would like more in depth help, send me a private message or email

Well put, Andreas...
I have found through trial and error that the same writing system you suggest works very well for me also...
I've actually had a few occasions where I really got on a good roll which resulted in an article that was far too long. No problem -- I just edited things a bit and wound up with 2 articles instead!
Thanks for your suggestions...
Blessings...

Greetings Kaizen,
Don't you just love the problem of too much material?
Should I make it a series, a report or a book?
And our own self-doubt as to our inability to write anything worthwhile is probably the biggest hurdle to success with articles or anything else. Writing after all is simply a matter of putting down our thoughts and ideas so that others may benefit. We all have something that can help others.
To everyone's success.

| About 9 to 10 weeks ago, I started submitting articles to directories. I have not seen any results, I was told that the results won't happen immediately, but if you are patient, you will reap the benefits. It is a good idea to start out submitting about 2 articles a week to various directories. Be sure to change the content of your articles a little because duplication can impede your progress in getting people to come to your site.

| I just want to mention Submit Your Article and a program they have patented called Article Leverage. It is unlike anything I have come across. After using them now for 3 months I encourage everyone to check them out.

Thanks Jeff. I've been using Instantarticlesubmitter lately.....works pretty well. However, I'm starting to get concerned about the things I'm hearing regarding the "duplicate content penalty".....should I be??

I'm not sure about the duplicate content penalty, but I personally try and keep all of my articles fresh. This means several fresh content articles in my blog every week and 8 different ones a month to SYA.

Thanks Jeff.....I'm doing a very similar submission/posting plan as yourself. I've recently heard from a few different sources that submitting the same articles to multiple article directories can result in a duplicate content penalty from the search engines......have you heard the same? I know my IAS software submits to over 300, so I'm a bit wary right now....
Best,
KMG

Brilliant ideas here in this forum. Keep up the good work. I believe Swimmer, that articles are great way to make your mark on the Internet. Because it establishes you as an expert. They will soon look to you as an expert. A word of caution is in order though.
Be sure your information is practical and useful to your readers. If they get the notion that you are just promoting your business and your article is not very informative you could loose readers some of which will not be back. So, make sure you have information that is comprehensive and useful.

Valid point, I think too many of us just trudge through another article to get the links and coverage. It just to show that thinking outside of the box is necessary in every single aspect of your bsuiness.

Chris

Greetings All,
Recently I wrote an article along the lines of this thread about "cash-register" eyes, entitled Get Rid of Cash-Register Eyes in Your MLM Business which you can read at
http://pimail.biz/category/articles/
This is a particular problem I deal with, and I'm sure you will get some benefit from it.
Andreas.

Sort of like the "Bonus eBooks" or OTO's that are pushed on some of the sites I've seen (to try and get you to BUY) that turn out to be nothing but rubbish.
I actually saw a package recently that had ebooks written on certain topics and when I downloaded the .pdf to review, most of the "expert advice" was "do a web search".....JUNK!
Blessings...KMG

Articles are among the most effective way to draw traffic to your site. If you really have good articles in your website and that are regularly updated with the new one , i am sure you will be getting some good amount of traffic.
This may require some time but you have to show patience.

Article marketing is a great way to grow your internet business. Are you wondering how this is possible? Do you need help maximizing your article marketing? Here are some tips:
Article marketing can position you as an expert in your field or with your hobbies and interests. People are always looking for information on how to do various things and if you have several articles on the same topic, then people will see you as an expert and someone they can go to for help with the given item.
Articles are a great way to get several thousand links back to your website online. This happens not only when you submit articles online but because many times they will be picked up and used by others on their websites, in their newsletters etc, thus creating even more links.
Articles make great content for your own website. People want to learn something when they go to your website. They do not want to only be greeted with selling, and shouting all about how great your products and or services are. Having articles on your website makes it more interesting and will keep your visitors there longer.
Article marketing is a great way to get yourself featured on other blogs. Many people do not allow others to write directly on blogs but if you write high quality articles they may be picked up and used on other blogs.
Article marketing is a great way to get published in ezines. Instead of paying your money for an ad, you can get an article in one instead. This is not only free but the publicity is better.
You can use articles for content and has responses in message boards and forums. People will appreciate the thought you have put into responses and you will develop better relationships with the board’s visitors and you will again be seen as an expert.
Articles can sell your products for you, if they are well written and do not sound like an ad. They must contain useful information and be written in such a way that the readers do not realize you are selling something.

You can get good results, but results do vary. If you submit articles to E-zines, it's a good idea to submit them to 2 or 3 ezines just in case 1 of them fails. I hope this helps, and remember, for anything that you do to gather traffic, consistancy is the key. If you blog, blog consistantly, if you hand out sizzle cards or fliers, do it consistantly, then the results will come in, even if it's slow in the beginning.
