Article marketing is quickly becoming one of the primary ways to market your website and products/services. What you do by article marketing is sell articles you have written to establish yourself as an expert, and make sure people know somehow through the article that you work at a certain place or own a certain business where they can order the services or products you have mentioned in the article.

Many people are turning to this sort of marketing, but not all of them write well. Article writing can be very tedious–and sometimes scary–for people, so they hire writing experts to put the content they provide into a meaningful article. This is usually an acceptable way to get articles done if you’re not a writer, but you had better be able to back it up with your own information. Sure enough, someone, somewhere, will challenge you or call on you for more information, so you had better be prepared with the expertise you claim.

However, even if you can’t write an article well yet, you can learn. There are lots of websites out there that have good steps on how to write a good article. If you can put a complete sentence together, often you can follow the formula and make some good articles that will get you noticed. Article marketing can be effective for you and your business, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Always remember the old adage to keep it simple.

By now everyone should know that one of the best ways to get back links to your websites is by writing and distributing articles. It has been well documented over the past year or so that an article submitted to a selection of article sites can result in multiple back links many of which will have an excellent page rank. A quick look at the stats for one of my sites showed that an article submitted 9 months ago has resulted in a number of links from sites with a PR of 5 and above and at least 1 link from a PR7 page. But what if you feel you can’t write articles?

When most people want articles and they don’t feel confident enough to write them they usually resort to hiring a freelance writer. Freelance writers can charge up to $10 per article so if you require 10 or more articles this can become prohibitively expensive. The answer is to overcome your lack of confidence and actually start writing your own articles, it’s easier than you think.

The first thing to remember when you are starting to write articles is to stick to subjects you know about and are comfortable talking about. I know people who say they can’t think about what to write but can then talk for 15 minutes non-stop about some hobby or pastime. If you can talk about it you can write about it!. The biggest obstacle you have to overcome is looking at a blank page and thinking that you’ll never fill it. The first thing to keep in mind is that you don’t need to fill it an article should be between 250 and 500 words, at this point this article is about 280 words long, so it would be long enough to be submitted to an article site.

The second obstacle to overcome is that people don’t believe that they can write a full article. To overcome this particular obstacle don’t look at it as an article but consider it as a series of related paragraphs. Plan your article by writing down the themes for 4 or 5 paragraphs then write each paragraph as an individual item. Finally put all the paragraphs together and you will have your article.

One final tip is that when you have finished your article go back it read it out loud, this will give you a really good idea if it will be easy to read and that you haven’t made any mistakes that haven’t been picked up by your spell checker.

Now that you have written your first article and submitted it to a number of article directories use the same process to write more. Each one you write will become easier and will be written quicker. After you have written around 10 articles go back and look at the earlier ones you wrote your writing style will have improved so go back and rewrite them and submit them to another selection of articles sites.

Writing an article or press release is one thing; winning an editor’s favorable opinion is something else — and far more important. Editors are gatekeepers: If your message doesn′t resonate with them, it′ll never reach their readers.

Put yourself in the editor’s shoes.
The economics aren’t complex. The more readers, the more ad revenue; the greater the ad revenue, the greater the likelihood the editor will keep her job. She needs to fulfill her periodical’s promise to provide meaningful, relevant content to her readers. You want to be in her pages? Help her with her mission.

“Why is this important to my readers?”
That’s the key question asked of every release and article that comes over the transom. Your job is to answer it. So skip the hyperbole about your company’s importance, the significance of your vision or the “excitement″ surrounding your new product. Instead, go straight for the why: Why does your message matter to readers?

In press releases:
Be sure to articulate the significance of your announcement by the standards that matter — those of your audience. Suppose you’re announcing a new software release. What does it offer, or what need does it fulfill, that hasn’t been offered or fulfilled before? Announcing an event? Then articulate the value of attending: What will participants get by coming?

In your query letters:
When you submit an article for an editor’s consideration, be sure your cover note connects your article’s message to the readers’ interests. There’s no need to extensively summarize the article beyond a sentence or two. Instead, articulate the article’s significance. Perhaps it addresses an emerging trend. Or offers a contrary perspective to conventional wisdom. Or helps readers do something practical, like save money on taxes or lower cholesterol levels. Whatever your subject, your cover note must complete this thought: “Readers will appreciate my article because…”

The greater the relevance, the greater the reward.
Look, editors are overwhelmed with writers who want space in their pages. But they don’t have enough who understand their needs. Be one of the few who really get it — who understand who the editor’s readers are and what they want — and you stand a good chance not just of making that one-shot hit, but of being a favored source for future publications.

Everything is interdependent. If you are planting a garden, you may have the right soil, but you also need some sunshine. As a speaker, you bring to your audience a way to help them bloom. You bring your good will, your good mind and your support. George Leonard, co–founder of Esalen Institute, and a martial arts master and an Akido sensei with a fifth –degree black belt encourages speakers (and others) to love people through the tough times.

So get good at some topic because it matters to you. Then move in to the zone. Your life will be amazing. This requires discipline and commitment to do what you are doing until you are good at it. What does your soul hunger for? Do you want to be a world-class speaker?

Stewart Emery, the first CEO of est, suggests that this takes place in 10,000 hours over 10 years. The more you are prepared, the luckier you will get. He reminds us that passion lives within us and that it is up to speaker to inspire the audience to bring it out or else we suffer. “Be passionately curious and it is OK to have many passions. Have fun presenting something you love to speak on.”

Don’t be afraid to play the edge. Comfort is the enemy of the speaker.

Reveal yourself and expose yourself to your audiences. As a speaker, you need to transmit to your audience. And the way you appreciate and feel your well being will affect your outcome with your audience. Work with your audience with your generosity and enthusiasm. That is how you make a difference!

If you are a speaker in present time, then you can see your audience and really connect. It is about practice more than talent.

New! Do you want to learn how to give a compelling speech? Would you like to know what sets leaders apart? Are you ready to prepare a speech that hits your audience’s hot buttons? Now you can. Buy the audio CD (available as an Ṃ download).

With pen and paper, write down a list of steps to accomplish some simple goal. For instance, tell the world how to plant a tree. This list should be fairly simple.

dig a hole,

add fertilizer,

moisten sides of hole,

stand tree in center,

fill hole with rich compost and soil mixture,

tamp down soil leaving a basin for water,

water well,

locate hammock under tree for enjoyment.

Right there you have 8 topics for your book, that’s eight simple chapters, not including the introduction, epilogue, photo shots, about the author, and covers. For an ebook - you’ve got a great start.

The next step is to separate out those bullets into paragraph or chapter headers, so you can add information.

Dig a Hole

Dig a hole at least two feet wider and one foot deeper than the root ball of the tree you’re planting. Rough up the edges of your hole and leave some turned soft soil in the bottom, you don’t want shiny sides in your hole as we often get in the Colorado Clay Zone, because they make permeating the edges difficult and your tree roots can’t search for water.

You’ll want to be certain the edges are not bound up with other tree roots, grass roots, rocks, and the like so your tree roots can spread out. Use the tip of the shovel to break up the sides of your hole and chip openings into it for the roots and water to infiltrate.

Are you still struggling with the process?

Greetings Fellow Authors and Writers I believe we need a new method to market books, which are either self-published, eBooks or published with major publishers. I believe that in may past entrepreneurial efforts I learned a thing or two about grass roots marketing which can be applied to book marketing as well to literally zoom in on your target market.

Now my plan is not completed yet, however enough is in place that I can briefly describe it to you. Each city in the United States would have authors who were on Blitz Marketing Teams and they would promote their own books and books of relevance from other authors in other regions in the main club.

These authors would all give out coupons and flyers which would direct the readers in reader clubs and such to go to a website. Each flyer would be paid for by local bookstores who would fund the expenses and the flyers themselves. Co-op advertising since one side of the flyer would advertise the bookstore and a readers group and the other side the website listing all the books that each author has written.

The Bonzai and Blitz teams or 4-6 authors in each town would have a mission statement to promote literacy and market books to help the writers. On the website would be links to eBooks and regular books written by the authors in the club or their own websites. This is the basics of the idea so far. Consider all this in 2006.

The never-ending question: article marketing – does it work, or not? Wanting to create more passive income, I decided to give article marketing a REAL try. The following are results so far (this is Part 3 of a 5-part series).

Following are more of the sites I’m consistently submitting articles to. I chose them because they had good PR and Alexa rankings.

What are PR and Alexa rankings? For explanations of these, as well as details on the beginning of the study, see the 10/26/06 post on InkwellEditorial.blogspot.com.

11. SubmitYourNewArticle.com: This directory has a PR rank of 4 and an Alexa rank of 62,309.

You must create an author account to submit. They approve your account pretty much immediately.

The submission process is a breeze and the site offers article stats, primarily, how many times the article has been downloaded, how many times it has been sent to friends, and how many articles you’ve submitted (a tracking feature).

12. Amazines.com: This directory has a PR rank of 4 and an Alexa rank of 16,710.

I love the ease of this site. Once you create an author account, you can start submitting. They also have a bulk submission feature, which allows you to submit more than one article at a time. This site also has a tracking feature, so you know what you submitted, and when.

One of the coolest features of this site is that it shows you how many articles are in each category. For example, as of this writing, the WRITING category had 1,090 articles, while EZINES has only 25.

If it’s a toss-up as to what category to submit to, this can be a handy guideline.

13. GoArticles.com: This directory has a PR rank of 6 and an Alexa rank of 2,407.

You must create an author account to submit here. A really progressive feature of this site is the feed they set up for authors (many directory sites now offer this). This makes it easy for readers to get your content.

This site also has a tracking feature so you can keep track of what you’ve submitted. And, it provides individual article stats (how many words the article is and how many times it’s been downloaded), but you have to click on the author’s name to get this information.

In my opinion, this is a bit odd because it took me a few minutes to figure out how to find the article stats.

But hey, with its Alexa and PR ranking and the sheer number of articles (almost 300,000!), it’s a site you can’t afford to overlook.

14. Isnare.com: This directory has a PR rank of 5 and an Alexa rank of 5,323.

I love the ease of submission of this site – once you create an author account. BUT, it takes a while for them to approve your article for publishing – unless you use their paid submission feature (Platinum account).

Eg, I submitted an article on 10/19, and as of today (11/1), I’m still waiting for that article, and subsequent ones, to be published.

What does their Platinum account include? Among other things, article distribution to over 40,000 publishers and hundreds of article directory sites for a fixed amount per month ($59.95). I have to say, it seems like a good deal – especially when I consider the amount of time I’m spending each day just submitting to 25 sites manually (about two hours).

If you’re busy, this is a huuugggeee chunk of time (see what I do for you guys?!). Once I finish my little case study (on 11/18), I will be looking into paid submission software/services, and this is one I’m seriously considering.

Besides the absolute horror of manual submission, I’m considering using this site’s submission service because it has a testimonial from a name I recognize and trust, Jenna Glatzer, Editor-in-Chief of Absolutewrite.com.

15. NetpreneurNow.com: This directory has a PR rank of 4 and an Alexa rank of 49,423.

This site can be a bit confusing when you log on, eg, where is the “Submit Article” button? You have to click on Article Directory (left hand side of home page) and then you see a link that reads “Post a new article.”

You don’t have to create an author account to use this site – tres cool! BUT, it also doesn’t offer any tracking features or article stats. So, you’re on your own here (eg, get out your article tracking pad and resign yourself to submitting and forgetting).

You’ll have to check your server logs to see if any incoming traffic was generated from articles posted here.

What are server logs? Basically, they are reports you can get from your web host that tells you where visitors from your site came from, eg, a click from an ad on Google, a link from an article on IdeaMarketers.com, etc.

Again though, as this site has good rankings, it’s worth it to submit.

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH ONLINE ARTICLE MARKETING

Delayed Publishing: Many article directories take days, even weeks, to publish your content. This is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, ostensibly, it means that articles are being reviewed and there is more quality content out there; eg, less garbage on the web as a whole.

The negative is that it takes longer to get the word out about your product/service. So, figure this into your marketing timetable if you are rolling out a new product/service.

Tracking the Effectiveness of a Directory: It is highly unlikely that you will have time to do this with any degree of detail, unless you have major chunks of time on your hands. As noted throughout this series, some directories have tracking features and provide article stats, some do not.

In my opinion, time would be better spent targeting highly trafficked directories, submitting to them, and judging the “overall progress” of your article marketing campaign “over a period of time – eg, a month, a quarter, half-year, etc.”

BE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL

I once read an article that said, especially with Internet marketing, it’s not the immediate results you’re after (although I have been pleased with this aspect of my little campaign so far), but the long-term benefits of establishing yourself as an expert.

Once you establish your abilities and your trustworthiness –- and this comes from prospects seeing you in many different places across a period of time – it will be that much easier to make the sale.

As with any business venture, article marketing can garner profound results, but it takes time and effort, effort and time, to get the long-term rewards.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE MONEY?

Holding steady at about 2.5 times what I was making (per day) before I started this experiment.

READER QUESTIONS
As I′ve been getting quite a few inquiries from readers, I will devote Monday’s (11/06) issue to answering all of them. So, send in yours.

In the meantime, be sure to catch the rest of the case study. I′ve been an online marketer for a while and am learning a lot! As a matter of fact, I will be conducting a similar study with online groups/forums/message boards next (details coming after 11/18).

Stay tuned for Part IV.

A novel, a book, a novella…whatever you call it, I want to/can’t seem to, write one. I started writing 4 years ago and I started with hundreds of poems, then progressed to 11 short stories BUT…even with all the ideas I have, I can’t write a book, can I?

Characters and dialogue, these are the two things that keep getting caught in my throat. I can’t figure out why I can write short stories but can’t get the first chapter completed of a fiction novel. Although I have some ideas.

I believe that most accomplished authors have gotten some kind of formal education, ie., writing, literature, or speaking classes. This may be the next step for me, well at least writing and literature NEVER speaking, nope! I won’t talk in front of anyone or anything except my bathroom mirror.

One would think that I could take one of my short stories and expand it into at least a novella, can’t do it. This is more than just a writers block, this is the Berlin wall I keep stumbling into.

Maybe authors like me who have the same problem should stop saying CAN’T and instead say CAN. You know power of positive thinking and all that. I′ll try, I′ll give it my best effort.

Probably enrolling into a summer writers is a good thing to try too.

Encouragement helps, so anybody got any? Reading and life experiences aren’t enough…authors have to get over the fear. There I said it FEAR. Fear of growing, fear of success, I don’t know, but just seeing the word in print helps. Get over the fear, sit down and write, got it…

The comma (Part 1 of 2)

The most misused of all marks—the comma—will appear before you in a new way: clearly and understandably. The first step rests on mastery of its more technical uses.

In a series

When writing a series with three or more parts, use a comma to separate each part. If the series has only two parts, a comma is not necessary:

The fish, cat, dog, bird, and ape are good friends.
three or more items – use a comma
The dog and cat are good friends.
only two – don’t use a comma

Joining sentences

To join two sentences, use a comma and a coordinating conjunction—and, but, yet, etc.:

The manager wanted Jim to finish the report, but Sally wanted Suzy to finish it.

If the two sentences are short, have the same subject, or are otherwise closely related, then you can generally omit the comma:

Jim will start the report and Suzy will finish it.

Beware

Don’t, however, join them with only a comma. If done, you’ll have the dreaded run-on sentence:

The supervisor yelled at his employee, the CEO stood amazed.
Oops
The supervisor yelled at his employee, and the CEO stood amazed.
Fixed

So, remember to connect two sentences with a comma and a conjunction (or at least a conjunction).

Joining adjectives

When two adjectives (words that describe nouns: excited, big, interesting, etc.) individually describe the same noun, they are called coordinate adjectives. A comma should appear between any pair of coordinate adjectives.
If you′re not sure if the adjectives are coordinate adjectives, flip the adjectives around. If doing so doesn’t change the sentence’s meaning, use a comma; but, if doing so changes the meaning, don’t use a comma:

The class demands that boring history book be changed.
are boring and history coordinate adjectives?
The class demands that history boring book be changed.
sounds strange – no they aren’t
The class demands that boring history book be changed.
perfect

Pick the juicy red tomatoes.
are juicy and red coordinate adjectives?
Pick the red juicy tomatoes.
sounds fine – yes they are
Pick the juicy, red tomatoes.
perfect

With dates

When writing the month, day, and year, place a comma before and after the year. Do so even if the date functions as an adjective. (Some disagree with this rule, but you should be fine employing it with most audiences.) Some examples:

On January 1, 2000, there was a massive labor strike.
functioning as a noun
The January 2, 2000, initiative was implemented to prevent another such strike from happening again.
functioning as an adjective

When you use only the month and year, however, omit the commas:

The January 2000 initiative failed miserably.

With quotations

Introduce short quotes with a comma:

Bill said, “You get outta here right now.” It was horrible.
“My dog is sick,” he observed with sadness in his eyes.

As seen in the second example, when using a comma before or after quoted material, even if the quotes show irony, place the comma inside the quotation marks:

We should listen to the “intelligent,” and you shouldn’t dismiss their opinions.

With adverb clauses

First, we should remember what clauses are: a group of words with a subject and a verb. Second, we should remember what adverbs are: words that answer one of the following questions:

Where, why, how, when, or under what conditions a verb’s action was done.

Adverb clauses serve the same function as one-word adverbs (they answer one of above questions) and begin with one of these words:

Where, wherever, because, since, so, as, if, after, before, etc.

When these expressions begin a sentence, we should follow them with a comma; when they end a sentence, no comma is necessary:

Because you stayed out late yesterday, you can’t go out today.
beginning a sentence, use a comma
You can’t go out today because you stayed out late yesterday.
ending a sentence, don’t use a comma
When you leave, I’ll be here.
beginning a sentence, use a comma
I’ll be here when you leave.
ending a sentence, don’t use a comma

A special note on “SO”

So begins adverb clauses. If it answers the question why, follow the same rules as mentioned above:

So you wouldn’t get cold, I closed the window.
so answers why I closed the window and begins the sentence
use a comma
I closed the window so you wouldn’t get cold.
so answers why I closed the window and ends the sentence
don’t use a comma

But if it tells a result, put the clause at the end of the sentence—always—and set it off with a comma:

I worked all night, so I’m exhausted.
so describes a result and ends the sentence (it shouldn’t ever begin it)
use a comma

Done. A little lenthy but you’ve read through part 1, an in-depth discussion on comma basics. Congratulations.
