What is article marketing?

Article marketing is the way of getting traffic to your affiliate site by writing articles.

If you like writing articles and help people by giving them the information they need, article marketing can be profitable for you. But it takes some time.

1. You write your article for a special topic.

2. You put an HTML link to your article for your site.

3. You join article directories such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com.

4. You submit your article.

If you place ‘keywords’ about your topic at the top of your article, people may find your article much easily, as they write that keyword to the search engines.

Easy, isn’t it?

It is important to know how to use HTML for your link. You will see an info for this if you use the link at the bottom of this article.

Is only ‘one’ article good for making tons of money? As you find high PR distribution channels, one quality article is enough for you to get quality visitors to your affiliate site.

Here is what to do:

1. Write 1 quality article and put your HTML code in it

2. Submit it to article directories (such as ezinearticles)

3. Convert it into a PDF

4. Submit it to document sharing sites (like scribd)

5. Convert it into a video

6. Submit it to video sharing sites (like youtube)

7. Convert it into a powerpoint presentation

8. Submit it to sites like slideshare

So how do you write an article? First, you should think about your topic: dog training, weight loss etc. Then you should find keywords for that topic to put them to the top of your article, so that people can find your article on the search engines. (No reader = No visitor)

Now write the beginning of your article about your topic with the keywords you have found on the internet. You may use them a few times. Be creative, and tell your readers what you are going to tell them. This may take a paragraph.

The second part of your article is the main part. What are you going to tell them? You may give them a few critical tips about your topic, and this may take a few paragraphs. (If you don’t know anything about your topic, search from the internet. You may want to create a combination of the infos you have found on the internet.)

The third and the last part of our article is the direction part. In this part, you put your link or affiliate link at the bottom of this page with an HTML code (as a hyperlink). That’s why your visitors may want to click your link and visit your page. Your hyperlink must appear as one of your keywords you have chosen for your topic, this is important for search engine optimization (SEO).
