In this lesson we are going to talk about effectively building your list with
article marketing.
One of the most effective methods that you can use to build your list is
article marketing. It provides your business with the perfect online
platform and can help you reach your target audience in a way that lets
you share your knowledge and make you look like an expert in your
market at the same time. When utilized properly article marketing is an
incredibly effective strategy that anyone can use to grow their list
As a matter of fact it is one of the fastest methods that you can use to
reach the people that will be most interested in joining your list and
purchasing the products and services that you offer. Quite simply
put, article marketing and list building work extremely well when used
together to achieve your list building objectives.
There are many benefits to article marketing. By writing keyword
focused articles it will help you get your webpages ranked well in
search engines like Google, Yahoo and others. Another benefit is that it
will help generate highly targeted traffic from article directories.
It works like this, article directories allow you to submit articles related
to your business, product or service. The articles that you submit
include a authors resource box. In the resource box you provide
information about yourself and your business, including a link to your
website or blog. Then they allow other publishers and webmasters to
reprint your articles as long as the resource box that you carefully craft
is left intact.
When crafting your resource box you have the opportunity to direct and
entice anyone who reads the article to join your list. Your resource box
should emphasize the benefit of joining your list along with a little gift or
bribe, like a free report, ebook, ecourse, etc. Make sure that you use
both a direct link and anchor text in your resource box when possible.
This will help you rank for your main keywords and phrases.
For article marketing to be effective list building tool you must create a
regular publishing schedule and constantly work towards getting as
many articles written and submitted to the major article directories as
possible. The more articles you have in circulation, the more new
subscribers you will obtain. Try putting aside an hour each day to write
and submit articles. In the beginning it might take a little longer for you
to write a good article, but with a little practice and dedication you will
quickly get the hang of it.
If really want to kick your article marketing into high gear you can try
outsourcing the writing process to a trained professional and focus your
efforts on other list building methods. When your articles are completed
then you can simply submit them to the major article directories and
watch the subscribers and traffic roll in.
Here is a quick list of the top five article directories that you can submit
your articles to:
- EzineArticles.com
