What's the quickest, easiest way to get exposure for your business all
across the web AND turn yourself into an expert, in one fell swoop? The
answer is Article Marketing. And if you haven't heard of it, or tried
it yet, you're missing one of the most effective and inexpensive
marketing strategies available on the net.
If you can write, or find someone to write for you or edit your work,
you can use Article Marketing to dramatically increase your exposure on
the web. And you'll immediately start generating all kinds of links to
your web site, which will drive qualified traffic to you 24/7.
And the best part is, you can write about ANYTHING. What do you know a
lot about? What is your area of expertise? What topic would your
prospects love to learn more about? What have you already written about
for your web site or newsletter?
Try this exercise to generate 3 articles to start with:
(1) Identify 3 topics you know a lot about
(2) Come up with 5 tips for each topic
You've just outlined three articles you can use to jumpstart your article marketing efforts!
Once you have written these articles there are many places you can post
them for free. These are sites visited by web site and newsletter
publishers looking for content.
They pick up your articles and include them in their newsletter or on
their web site. They include your information and web site address with
the article, so everyone knows you wrote it and where they can get more
information like the article they just finished reading.
If you are currently writing articles to post on your web site, or to
publish in your newsletter or ezine, you can re-use these articles to
easily get started with article marketing and get your name out all
across the web.
Suddenly you become an expert because your articles and advice start
showing up all over the place. Search on "10stepmarketing" or "Debbie
LaChusa" and you'll see what I mean. I've accomplished this in a matter
of weeks, with an initial posting of only seven articles. I've
continued to post articles and you can bet I'll keep on doing it.
You may even get feedback from readers like I have. Here's one I got that totally made my day:
"Just finished reading your article. ITS GREAT! I'll be implementing all of your ideas ASAP."
How awesome is that?! It tells me my articles are getting out there, I
am getting the word out about my business and I'm helping more small
business owners to be successful.
And just think, it could be doing be doing the same for you. Getting
your business name out there, positioning you as an expert in your
field, and sharing your knowledge and expertise with your potential
clients.

I invite you to give Article Marketing a try. Write and post a few
articles and see what happens. You may just triple your web site
traffic like I did!
