Grow Your Business With Article Marketing

Welcome to my latest blog post that touches on Article Marketing. As always, if you like what you’ve read and find it of value, please “Like” and “Share!”

It’s always appreciated.

So, let me ask you a simple question, “Are you using article marketing to build your brand or presence online?” Don’t feel bad if you aren’t. Truth be told, using article marketing sites is one of the most underrated online marketing strategies out there right now.

Not sure why…

You can use this strategy to covertly promote products and services (very soft selling tactics, never actually promoting a company or its services upfront) using article directories online.

You see, most of these directories receive a very high-level of website traffic and are considered the authority by major search engines, so the articles rank like “Gang-busters” in search engines and generate a boatload of free traffic which equates to profits and more sales for you.

What you’ll need to do is start submitting your articles to multiple article directories. That’s right, “They won’t submit themselves,” you’ll need to take action if you’re serious about making money online and building your brand using this vehicle.

Just be careful with submitting duplicate content.

Search engines don’t play that.

I say this because most search engines filter duplicate content to prevent the exact same articles from showing up in its searches. But not to worry, you can avoid this issue by modifying articles slightly to keep the content different and increase your chances of snatching up high rankings.

Now, don’t get me wrong, you won’t be able to go “Hog-wild” promoting your company overtly on these type of sites, you’ll still be able to build the credibility and visibility for your company (most article sites have author bio sections that allow you to link to the main site).

Check this out, whenever your content is authored and it’s good stuff, the source can start to become an authority. That’s right, note the word authority in the awesome word authority!

This will also allow you to go to work on some analytics.  This is the time to sneak a few keywords or phrases into your article to optimize it to help your readers find you online quicker using the very keywords that you used.

Pretty cool, right?

In fact, if you build your content around the keywords and phrases your target market is searching for, they’ll find your site, and your articles. This will also grow awareness and for you, hopefully some good old conversions.

Get started today, here’s some top article marketing directories to consider submitting your keyword and phrase-driven articles to:

The Importance of Blogging For Business

Blogging gives you, as a marketer, added credibility. You see, some of the people whom you consider your target market will oftentimes “Google” you. Why? Because they want to assess how much of a presence you have on the internet before they either commit to purchasing a product or service from you or potentially joining you as a business partner.

Hey, it’s the truth.

Blogging gives your targeted customers “More of You.” You know what I mean? They get to learn more about you as a person. Not just a business owner trying to ultimately “Make it Rain,” if you will. So, if you’re not blogging, the next question is “Why not?”

Especially if you’re trying to build a legitimate business online or offline and a name for yourself.

Business blogging is one of the most powerful digital marketing tools that you can use to get your name in front of your target market. Think of it as a “Nerve center” for content, including video, audio, and text.

Blogs have power, if well-executed with a purpose and plan in mind. If its message can deliver on providing the needed awareness for your company, product, and/or service, you have hit “Pay-dirt!” Yes, If you create a business blog that delivers like this, it becomes a critical element of your overall marketing mix. But, if you screw it up, it can become a frustrating, time-consuming task that gives you absolutely zero return for your efforts.

Hey, it is what it is. We live and we learn. Lets continue.

Now, we all know you should keep the customer’s needs and desires in the forefront of our marketing minds, but we should also keep in mind that the main purpose for blogging for business is to create customer awareness and engagement who eventually come to us as converted leads and all-important sales. But, just to be clear, the goal of your business blog is not to covert your prospects immediately into leads or customers.

It’s all about preselling first.

Marketing, at the end of the day, is all about the order of the offers you put in front of your customers, leads, and prospects. The content you create is considered “Nerve Center Entry Point Offers” that you make to your prospects that don’t really know you or anything about your company. In other words, your cold market.

But also, keep in mind that the content you create can be sent out using email, posted on social media, and paid traffic to even your best customers to keep your online or offline business at the forefront in the mind’s of your customers which provides added value.
