Article Marketing - 7 Top Tips to Make Money Online
 by: Clare Swindlehurst




Do you want to know the secret weapon that every Internet marketing guru has in his toolkit to drive targeted traffic and build credibility? Articles. It really is that simple; write great content and you'll increase your visitor numbers. Here are the seven things you need to know to make it work.

1. Solve a problem

Most people are searching online because they have a problem that needs solving. Show people that you are an expert and that you can help them solve their problems. Walk them through the solution step-by-step in your article and they are more likely to click on the link in your resource box to see what else you can do to help them.

2. Keep it current

Articles which are timely are often more popular. Don't waste your time writing about old out of date methods. People searching for information on how to transfer tracks from their PC to their MP3 player are not going to care if you know the best ways to keep their cassettes from getting chewed up.

3. Don't stop writing

All too many people fail at article marketing because they write one article and then sit back and expect it to bring in floods of traffic. You need to write regularly to be successful; more articles equals greater credibility and in turn more targeted traffic.

4. Think viral

The top article directories don't just let people read the articles, they also encourage people to publish them on their own websites. There is no charge for this, but the publisher must keep the article and the resource box intact. The good news for you is that every time someone decides to publish one of your articles they are putting your content and your links in front of their readers, the very people you are trying to entice.

Make sure you only write great quality content on a regular basis and you are more likely to have your articles published by others.

5. Keep it short and simple

People don't like to read War and Peace when they're online. They want to know the answers to their questions, and they want to know quickly. Delete all the waffle and the fluff from your articles and just tell the reader what they need to know.

6. Write eye-catching titles

Your title is the first thing the reader will see. Make sure it is a good indication of what is contained in your article, and that it is engaging and eye-catching. Think of your title as your hook, you want that reader to want to know more and to click on the link to find out.

7. Make the most of your resource box

You should never try to sell anything in your article body, it is meant to be useful for the reader, not a sales letter. You should however, make sure there is a compelling call to action in your resource box. Don't waste words telling the reader who you are and what's so good about you; tell them exactly how you can help them if they click through to your website.
