Successful Article Marketing
Article marketing can be done by anyone, even if you’re not a great writer
or you have little or no money. Don’t’ make the mistake of thinking that,
just because it’s free, it’s ineffective.
What you’ll need:
- You should have a website or a blog site. It can be a simple site
(with just a few pages). You can also send people who find your
articles to your myspace site.
- You need a computer with an internet connection.
- You need an interesting topic that you know something about.
Benefits of writing articles:
- Article marketing and submission is one of the most powerful ways
of marketing online, and it's free. If you have a great article, it can
be picked up by many sites which will drive tons of traffic to your site,
which is the whole point. Releases of pertinent articles are as
powerful as press releases.
expert in your field and gives you credibility.
- Because of your posting, you'll get additional free publicity and
business beyond the places you post.
- On top of everything above, because your articles will be posted
all over the internet (with lots of link pointing back to your site), it
will improve your Google page rank…which equates to even more
free advertising.
Your first goal is to get your own name listed on major search engines, so
when someone searches for you on the internet they'll find many links
mentioning your name. Your next goal will be to get listed on specific keywords. Here are some
examples:
Peter Grundner - Yahoo
Pete Grundner - Yahoo
Peter Grundner - Google
Success And Failure - Google
Success Resources - Google
Success Resources - Bing
Writing the articles:
Write an article on any subject that would be
of interest to a home business person.
There are even several articles in the back
office of EDC that you can use (I would change
them slightly to make them unique). Here are
some of my articles
If you don't feel confident to write your own
articles, you can hire a ghost writer. There
are many companies offering writing services. Just type in "ghost writing" into Google and you’ll get
tons of offers. Some of these writers are
extremely reasonable, charging somewhere
between $6 to $80 per article. Here are
some of the best sites.

Step By Step Process to get the most out of your article:
- Identify Keywords that you would like to focus on (To get to the top of in Google).
- Write article (use the main keyword in the title of your article...very important). Also use related
keywords. Your article should be 500 to 600 words long.
- Link current news items and quotes of famous people that relate to the story within the article -
this is very powerful (do a search in Google on keywords you're using to find current news and
quotes from big names).
- Make sure there are at least one or two links to your website in your article and or bio.
- Submit your article as shown above.
- Do a press release that links to and mentions the article about one week later.
I have written several articles on different subjects and I’ve submitted them to about 200 article hub
sites on the internet. Here are just a few, which are all in the EDC back office:

Distributing the articles:
There are two ways to go about submitting your articles:
- You can use Article Submitter, which I’ve used to submit my article to 180 sites. I like the fact
that I know which sites my articles are being displayed. The downside is that you must initially
create an account with each publisher which will take you several hours to set up. You may also
add to this list. I’ve added an additional 100 publishers links to mine. Once set up, the Article
Submitter does make your submission easier, cutting your time of submission by 2/3. It will take
you about one minute for each submission, so 180 submissions will take you 3 hours to do,
which isn't too bad unless you come up with a new article every day.
Be careful not to use a fully automated tool, which essentially is just spamming, which will backfire in
the long run. Article Submitter is a semi-automatic tool…you’ll love it!
