3 Article Marketing Tips That EVERYONE Need to Know (100% Free)

Who else is thinking about starting an article marketing campaign? Are you confused about what the benefits of article marketing really are? Have you heard so many conflicting stories about what works, what doesn't, what's IN, what's "out" and what is a complete and utter waste of your time, talent and energy?

If you are anything like I used to be, learning to separate FACT, from fiction when it comes to making money online is a full time job in of itself, right? If you agree, and are struggling for a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel... this article was written with YOU in mind!

Filed Under: My Experience

I've written thousands of articles in dozens of niches that have generated MILLIONS of readers, and hundreds of thousands of subscribers and visitors in more markets tha
I can count. So when it comes to article marketing for TRAFFIC, and for profit, I know a little bit about what works... and what doesn't!

Tip #1: Keyword Optimization is WAY Over-Rated!

People who talk about how to optimize your articles for keywords are NOT the ones you should be listening to when it comes to creating content that makes you MONEY. There is no point in creating content for "machines", and when you focus on placing the perfect amount of the right "text" in your copy, in my experience, it KILLS conversion far faster than anything else. Quick tip? Use your TITLE text intelligently, front load your keywords at the beginning of the title, and then forget about them completely and just WRITE your article!

Tip #2: Titillate with your Titles and REWARD with your Resource Boxes

The truth is, the ONLY real way to stand out from everyone else in your niche is to create TITILLATING titles that command attention. I like long verbose titles with a strong curiosity element. Ask a question, point out a major problem or CHALLENGE your audience and you'll find they'll open your articles FAR more frequently than those of your competition. The same thing applies to your resource box - say something INTERESTING, engage, entertain and inspire your reader to CLICK through, and they will. (and if they don't, it doesn't' matter how many articles you write, you WON'T make any money!)

Tip #3: Article Marketing is REALLY about RELATIONSHIPS

I prefer to use what I call the strategy of straight lines with my article marketing campaigns. That means my content points to a single, "skinny" page that asks for a name EVERY time. If you try to create articles for review page promotions, or building back links to a blog, or some of the other common strategies out there, you WON'T make a full time living any time soon. But use your content to create COMMUNITIES, and you can be making a mint in the next 90 days! (control what you create!)
