My Top 5 Article Marketing Strategies For Online Marketing by Carl Coffin
Written by Carl Coffin on May 9, 2008 11:04 am
I Love writing articles. One of the best and most powerful ways to generate highly targeted traffic and prospects for your business is through article marketing.
There are a number of ways I use my articles to generate traffic. My top 5 article marketing strategies are:
1) SEO - Search Engine Optimization - I write keyword focused articles that are written around specific keywords. For example the main keyword I'm using in this article is "Article Marketing".
In order for me to find good keywords I first perform research online. I like using Google to find out how much competition I will have for my keyword.
After I decide on a specific keyword I then begin writing. I make sure the keyword is in the title of my article and throughout the body. Doing this will make it easier for the search engines to pick up my article. SEO results in free traffic from the search engines.
2) Ezine Articles - I love posting my articles to the ezinearticles.com directory. I currently have 58 live articles that generate passive traffic. I also like posting my articles to Goarticles.com, Articlebase.com, and Article Pile.
3) Social Networking - I love sharing some of my articles to my friends on myspace. I have over 7500 friends spread out over five profiles. I sent out bulletins everyday to all my friends. My articles have been a great way to network with others.
I also love posting my articles on Magnetic Sponsoring.com
4) Autoresponders - I love taking a specific article and putting it in my follow email messages. It goes out to all my subscribers and helps me build the relationship with my list by adding valuable content.
5) Press releases - I like writing articles that promote a certain product or system and post a press release to free-press-release.com
All of these strategies working together has been generating on average 5-10 prospects a day that are very motivated to take action.
