Marketing an article is one of the most popular methods of generating relevant back links from authority websites, and in maximizing your outreach with well-crafted, high quality content directed at your target audience. You’re about to receive the resources you need to use article marketing effectively in your internet business.
Each entry or article should be between 300 and 600 words in length and provide useful information that your target audience would find appealing.The more articles you write, the more exposure you will receive. However, don’t just focus on producing a ton of content. Rather, it would benefit you a great deal if you focused more on quality content.
I strive to only put out quality articles.The better the article, the more likelihood it will get published, and the more people will look at you as an expert and will not only read your article, but rate it highly.
Benefits of Article Marketing
Besides the exposure you will get from publishing your article with article directories like EzineArticles.com you will also benefit from the frequency in which search engines crawl article directories due to new content being posted each day.
Exceptional back-links. Article marketing allows you to generate exceptional back links from these article directories based on the number of articles featured that contain links to your website within the Author’s Resource box.
Build additional back links from the websites that feature your content throughout their network. This is anther great reason why article marketing is such a lucrative method of generating traffic to your website. You build more back-links because these articles are available for re-print, where bloggers and webmasters can use your content on their websites and communities you generate a back-link. (as long as the Author’s resource box is left intact).

Create a Compelling Author’s Resource Box
It’s important to remember is that you need to create a compelling Author’s Resource box. This is the area where you are able to include a link to your website and direct readers to explore your own personal site.
Also remember that you don’t have a lot of space so you need to focus on using a strong call to action . A strong call to action prompts the reader to click your link and visit your website.
So what’s the best way to create an Author’s Resource box?
Think of it as a short commercial. This is the best way to go about creating your Author’s Resource box. Make use of thea very limited space and time to explain the benefits and highlight the most important features of your product or service.
Offer a Freebie. If you offer a freebie or giveaway within your Resource Box, (such as directing your reader to download a free report or e-book by visiting your squeeze page) rather than a direct pitch , you will instantly maximize your articles performance in terms of driving targeted traffic to your websites, as well as in building relevant mailing lists of potential buyers.
Here are a few ideas for freebies or giveaway items I successfully use within my article resource boxes to generate traffic and build a list of responsive buyers:
- Free Reports
- Free Ebooks
- Free Scripts
- Free Content (PLR, MRR)
- Free membership (even trial will work)
- Free video tutorial
