How To Submit Your Articles – 3 Ways To Get Your Articles Submitted For Maximum Exposure

09:13, 2008-May-17 .. 0 comments .. Link
Once you have written an article, you want it listed in as many article directories as possible, so people can find your info, and visit your website to find out more about your business.
 
To get your articles listed in the directories, you have 3 options.
 
1. You can hire someone to do it for you.
 
When you hire a virtual assistant to do your article submissions you won't have to look at each site to make sure it has a category that meets the requirements of your articles.

Most virtual assistants already work for other article marketers, and have a list of the best article directories, so they know where to go, and what to do.
 
You also won't have to create directory accounts and make notes of the link address, login and password every time.

You�ll find some good freelance virtual assistants who will take care of your article submissions at Elance.com.
 
2. You can use an online article submission service.
 
There are several submission services operating online. Some charge you per directory that your article is submitted to. For example: If you want to list your article in 10 directories, you will pay $10.00. This makes it a good place for beginning article marketers, who like to test things out first.

The downside is that if you plan to submit your article to many directories on a constant base, you may end up paying a lot of money.
 
Other submission services charge a flat fee. You can choose a Quarterly, Annual or Lifetime membership. If you�re going to submit many articles, then this is the way to go.

Online submission services are easy to use, effective, and can get your articles listed quickly in the most important directories.

3. You can also use an automated article submission program that runs from your own computer. This is a less expensive option, as you have total control over the software once you have bought it, and you do not have to pay for every article that you submit.
 
The advantage is that there are no recurring fees involved and you can use the program whenever you want to kick out a series of articles in a flash. They will be distributed to hundreds of article directories in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.
 
Note: some of these automated programs do not update their database on a constant base, and many article directories are no longer working.

Another downside is that some of the article directories require a login and password, so you will need to enter the info manually every time you submit an article. This can take a lot of your time. 
 
Conclusion: to choose which article submission solution will work best for you, you should consider how many articles that you want to see published.

High volume: choose an online submission service. You will save a lot of time. Time that you can spend on writing more articles.

Low volume: do it yourself, or use a submission program that runs from your own system.


How To Write Articles Fast And Kill Writers Block

To get the most out of your article marketing campaign, you will need to submit well-written articles consistently. That means writing, writing, and more writing.

If you suffer from writers block, or can not find the mood to get into your writing, then this tip will help.

Start your word processor, and open a new page. It�s important that you have a topic in mind before you start.

Just begin writing. Do not correct any spelling or grammar mistakes, just keep typing what comes up in your mind. Write until you are finished with the first page.

Now check your copy, and try to find the good ideas, the parts that read easy. This is the style that you�ll use for your new article.

As soon as you continue writing a new article, you will feel the flow come. Writing will begin to feel like fun. You may find that you have written far more than you imagined you could, in quite a short period of time.

Once you are finished writing the new page, you can begin correcting spelling and grammatical errors. Even this part will make you feel excited. You will have created something that you can be proud of.

The more you continue using this technique, the more your writing will flow and the more enjoyment and creative bursts you will experience in the process.

You can repeat this method any time you deal with writers block, or suffer a lack of inspiration.

To deal with writers block, it is also very important to set a writing schedule for yourself. I like to write in the morning, as I feel most comfortable and productive at that time.

I also make sure that it is quiet around me when I work. I don�t like to be distracted by radio, music, the telephone, or other outside noises. I even close my email program, as incoming emails are also one of the biggest time-wasters.

P
rofessional writers have a strict schedule, and stick to it. If you plan to use article marketing you can definitely benefit from approaching your writing time like a pro. So, be sure to write everyday, and don�t be afraid, just let it flow. Write it all down and do not worry about your ideas.

Write first, think later. Just do it.

Amazon is a great place to come up with new article topics. This article will show you how to do it.

To really benefit from article marketing, you need to submit lots of quality articles with targeted keywords to the article directories. This way the search engines will pick up your articles, and expose them to people who are looking for your keywords.

Article marketing is a numbers game. The more articles you submit, the bigger chance publishers will use them and bring visitors to your website.

Now, a problem that you may face when you want to write lots of articles is finding a unique article idea.

There are a few ways to get inspiration. You can do your research online by using Google, or any other search engine, to find new topics that you can write an interesting quality article about. But did you know that Amazon is also a great place to find topics for a new article?

Picture yourself, standing in a gigantic bookstore. Now imagine that you had all the books on the subject you were researching, open at the same time right in front of you. How would you like to be able to flick through all the books, and instantly find the pages with your subject’s keywords on them?

This is exactly what Amazon has done for you. They have created a brilliant tool that is perfect for researching content, called Search Inside.

It’s an article writer’s dream; laser-targeted pages of content that you can read, digest and rewrite, and best of all, delivered to your computer in seconds.

Here’s how to do it.

Log in to Amazon. In the search box at the top, select Books and enter your search term or keywords in the box beside it. It is like a Google search but only 100 times better.

Example: if you want to do research on vegetable gardening, enter the exact term in the search box. A whole list with bestselling books that cover your niche will appear.

If you do not find what you are looking for, you can refine your search by selecting more books in the vegetable gardening niche. Amazon has millions of books in store, so it would surprise me if you can not find the subject you are looking for.

When you click the Search Inside link on top of the book cover that interests you, you can peek inside the book.

When you open the book, the table of contents appears. You can take notes of the book contents, and use them later to create your new article. If you have an Amazon account, you can even read whole chapters of the book for free.

Another great way to use Amazon for your research is the option to see all the keywords that are being used to bring up the book. You can place these keywords strategically in your own article, to get the search engines happy, and attract more visitors.

Amazon is an incredible and free to use resource tool. You can use the Search Inside option to do unlimited searches on any possible topic that you can think of. All of the books listed are written by professional writers, who know what they write about.

Every time you need inspiration for a new article, you can go back to Amazon. It’s a great and fun place to find unlimited article topics and ideas.



Article Marketing Tip - An Easy Way To Get Started Writing Your Own Articles

09:07, 2008-May-17 .. 0 comments .. Link

It is a well know fact that article marketers bring in hundreds of new visitors/customers to their websites just from writing a few articles each week that specifically relate to various niches.

And the great thing is that, once you've written an article, it becomes a viral marketing tool for years to come.

One thing you need to understand, and that is... everybody can write.

Many people totally freeze up when they hear about writing. They believe that writing is an art that can only be mastered by a select group of individuals.

How wrong they are.

Let me explain first what an article is. An article is a short, informative piece of writing that reveals an idea or concept in an interesting, entertaining way.

A good article tells the reader something that he/she did not know before. People reading articles expect to either learn something or be entertained...and in the ideal case, both.

To write an article, you do not have to be born with a special talent. There is no need to study all the classics, or bring up high brow words from the English dictionary, just to show off how educated you are.

You just have to enjoy talking and communicating with your reader. If you write like you speak to a real person, and do not use complicated words and terms, you will be rewarded by your readers with a click to your website.

The key to getting your first article out comes down to knowing what you are going to write about.

It helps to write about something that you have a passion for. If you have a strong feeling for your niche, then it is much easier to come up with a good article idea.

Before I start writing, I like to plan about what I will write. You should do the same. Are you going to write a 5 tip article? Share your opinion about a hot topic? Or do a review of a product that you used and that may benefit others? These are all great ideas for a new article.

It is good practice to just start typing what comes up in your mind first. Just let if flow. Never mind grammar or spelling mistakes. It is important to get the first sentences out. From there on, you can build your story.

I like to bring up a statement at the beginning of each article, like the fact that articles can bring in a lot of traffic to your website.

Then I write about an existing problem, like why most people freeze up when they think about writing an article.

And finally, at the end of the article, I offer a solution, like how to get yourself into the writing flow by researching other articles, and taking notes until you have enough lines to start writing your article.  

This simple, but highly effective, 3-step method makes a great article.

Remember, there is no rule that says you have to be an artist to write a decent short article.

And the more articles you write, the more likely it is that you will receive traffic to your website, and traffic means sales. It is really that simple.



Motivational Tips For Writing Your First Traffic-Generating Article

It is a fact that writing your own articles can bring in hundreds of new visitors/customers to your website.

The Internet is nothing else than a huge information database, explored by millions of people who are looking for information on specific topics.

When people come across your article and read your information, they will consider you as an expert. As someone who is experienced in your niche. In return for sharing your knowledge with them, they will come to your website, and see what else you have to offer.  

Another reason that articles can generate a lot of traffic, is that search engines love great content. Search engine spiders constantly crawl all over the web, looking for quality information to offer to their users.

If you can provide great content to the search engines, their users will be happy. And to reward you for delivering what people are looking for, they will give you a high listing. As a result, hurdles of traffic (read potential buyers) will find your website.

An informative article, filled with lots of keywords and an attractive title, is the best guarantee to getting a lot of traffic, and this without paying for it.

One thing you need to understand, and that is that, everybody can write. Many people totally freeze up when they hear about writing. They believe that writing is an art. Well, if you believe that, then I have good news for you.

The key to getting that first article out comes down to knowing what you are going to write about.

The following tips will help you get started:

- A good article tells the reader something that he/she did not know before. People reading articles expect to either learn something, or to be entertained, and in the ideal case, both. So, always try to keep the readers attention.

You can be funny, or add a special comment. An article is also not a grammatical masterpiece. You don’t have to show off how good you are with word. On the contrary; If you write like you speak to a real human, your readers will feel comfortable with you and your style.

- You should always write about something that you have a passion for. You may love playing golf, or have a passion for gardening. Whatever it is, if you have a strong feeling for your subject (or niche), and you know something that other people may not know, then you have taken the first step to your new article.

- Once you know where to write about, you can use the search engines to do more research. The search engines are a great place to find inspiration. Take notes. These notes will help you if you lack inspiration.

The more articles you write, the more likely it is that you will receive traffic to your website, and traffic means sales.

And the great thing is that, once you've written an article, it becomes a viral marketing tool for years to come. It is really that simple. You just need to get yourself started.
