Write Articles For Ezines And Article -Publishers
I mentioned earlier that people are more likely to listen to someone that they
consider to be an expert. Why can.t that expert be you? If you know enough
about a topic to build a business around it, you are an expert. All it takes is
a little marketing to convince others that you are an expert. One method of
establishing yourself as an expert and gaining some exposure for yourself and
your business is to write articles for ezines and article publishers. You write
an article relating to your business, and then post it to one of the online
publishing services. When people read your article, they see your name, and
assume you know what you are talking about. The more different places you can
get your name and the name of your business, the better that chances are that
people will begin to remember you. Over time with multiple exposures you begin
to build brand recognition. There are two different ways online article
publishers let you get your name out. Some sites, like ezinearticles.com, let
you put a short 1-2 sentence “About the Author” section at the end of your
article. You get the opportunity to put together a brief statement about
yourself and your business, and a link back to your site. Sites like Associated
Content and Helium will have a content producer.s page that will allow you the
room to write quite a bit more. You can talk about yourself, your business, and
why the reader should believe what you say. You can also include multiple links
that will lead the reader into your site. When readers click on the link to
come to your site they are what marketers refer to as “pre-qualified”. They
chose to be there based on the information they read. They were not tricked
into visiting your site, and they were not pressured to go there by spam
emails. They are there by choice, and that makes them more receptive to your
message, and increases the probability that they will purchase your products or
services. Beside the traffic that comes to your site directly from your
article, if the article is really good it may end up on one of the social
bookmark sites like Digg, Stumble Upon, or del.ico.us. If your article gets
ranked in one of these sites, it can bring a lot of visitors to your site in a
very short period of time. That burst of visitors might last for only a day or
two, but it could also linger in the top rankings for days or weeks. Another
side benefit of writing articles is that they can provide a small amount of
residual income to you. Many of these sites offer revenue sharing that will
give you a small portion of the advertising that the article generates. The
amount you get per article usually is not very much, but enough articles over
time can add up.
