Article Marketing Secrets Revealed!
Are you searching for proven content marketing secrets to scale your business to new heights?
Look no more, here are my best kept content marketing secrets gained from my experience of writing over 200 articles!
However, before I reveal them to you, you must understand the objective of writing value based content. In simple terms, it generates money!, Don’t be surprised, yes, it does. It generates traffic by attracting viewers to your content and converts a good percentage into clicks to your website. The conversion of traffic is directly dependent to the following factors,
- The quality of your content
- The Value offered in your content
- The intrigue value your content invokes in a reader, “to know more factor”
It is these clicks that become your future prospects or cash. Remember that,
Content Marketing = Traffic + Clicks = Profits
This is the core fundamental of Article writing. If you could master these, you will have a never ending stream of traffic. Here, I must also explain the quality of traffic that you generate with you articles. This traffic is not generic traffic. No one reads an article on “how to lose weight” unless he or she is looking to lose weight or is required to lose weight. In other words this is the best, highly targeted, absolutely filtered, free organic traffic.See below how we got 500 viewers daily for our articles.
The second property of traffic generated through articles or content is that the flow of traffic is ongoing. It is a flow which never stops as internet adds new users every day, hence your traffic is guaranteed forever, day after day.
It All Sounds Good, But How Do I do this?
I am sure that is the question that must be bothering you. Don’t worry we will hold hands and walk together to uncover the article marketing secrets.
Content Is KING! - Golden Rule of Content Marketing!
This is the biggest article marketing secret. Understand that to produce quality content you must be well versed with the topic that you chose or with the subject matter of your niche. No use trying to pen down something like “Secrets of Performing heart surgery” unless you are an expert in that area. So you need to acquire knowledge by researching your topic or take the help of an external content writer with some expertise.
Good Keywords Are Like Solitaires!
Secondly, your content must be keyword rich. What I mean is that to attract traffic, it must rank on the top of search page, it must be on top of Google, Bing or Yahoo sites. That happens if your article contains high value keywords in the title, in the content and in the concluding part- just don’t overstuff your article with key words, the article directories don’t like it. You could do your keyword research either on Google AdWords Tool, which is a free Google Tool, or buy a keyword tool like the Market Samurai. I personally use a combination of both tools. Use and results will tell to where to use which tool.
Content Marketing Action - Get Visibility – Publish!
Now that you have an article that has good content with solid keywords what next? Well lets’ start article submission to article directories in order that they get published on the web. There are thousands of directories on the web that you could use. The important authority sites which I use are:
All these directories are free sites and you are required to complete a simple registration to start posting your articles. As you go along, you could add other directories to your submission list. The submission could be done manually which is quite time consuming or through a tool which is not only faster but it also submits to hundreds, if not thousands of directories. I personally use Article Marketing Robot and Magic Article Submitter.
Get To The Top – Get Back links!
Now that your article is submitted and publishes, you need to do little more. Submit the article to Social web 2.0 sites to get quality back links to your website. Back linking is the key source to improve your search engine rankings. That’s how you come to the top of the Google, Bing or Yahoo pages. While there are hundreds of Social web 2.0 sites, I normally use:
Digg
Delicious
Stumble Upon
Squidoo
Here a word of caution. Do not expect the results instantaneously, it takes time for the search engines to bookmark your site as it starts receiving more and more back links from different sources which have your content.
You can also submit your content to Blogs, Pings, and Social News Sites and by snippet posts. My article marketing tip to you will be to first make a start. You can always scale it up. For graduation you have to pass through your middle and high schools! Isn’t it?
Finally let me tell you that content marketing is much more than just posting your content to article directories. This is a complete process and needs careful planning. Guess what, Article Marketing helps you not only generate highly targeted organic traffic, clicks and leads, it also,-
- Builds your list
- Gives you visibility and recognition as an expert
- Builds “YOU” as a brand
Content Marketing is an economical traffic generating strategy; it requires investment in terms of your time and effort. Remember making money in any business requires some investment at least.
