Article writing is very significant as a basis for marketing online

Article marketing is a free of charge resource for anyone who is starting an online business

When beginning to use article marketing it is valuable to learn how to properly write online

It is easy to make errors with article marketing when first starting out

One of the simplest mistakes made by article marketers is that they ‘good write’

Yes, you read that right, ‘good write’

Good write is the term I use for article writers who get pulled away into dream land as they

write their articles and forget what the main point of their article was

These new online business owners tend to forget that simple is best

Have you ever read one of those articles that are over 1500 words long?

I know I usually do not read anything over 700 words I Simply don’t have the time

So to be successful at article marketing, one must educate themselves in the proper process

Here are 10 very straightforward steps that you can follow to ensure your success with article marketing

1 Write a convincing article title

Typically, I write the whole article before, I think of a title

You must remember the title is the most important part of the article

The title must promise, what will be delivered in the article

It is important to keep the title short and sweet

2 Jam-packed with information

The main reason for anyone to be reading your article is simply for the information you offer

Make sure your articles are jam-packed with valid and concise information

The higher quality of content in your article, the more people will enjoy reading your articles

3 Short sweet and to the point

Writing on the Internet is completely different than writing for off-line newspaper

Your article must be brief, and typically shorter than 700 words

Your content should be concise, to the point, and give the promise made by the title

4 Original content to your site

Always ensure your article is posted on your own website before submitting to article directories

Doing so builds trust with your readers and allows search engines to bring traffic to your site

5 Using article directories

Always, always, always post your article to more than one directory in order to create multiple back links

Do not forget however, to change the title, the author box, and a few key words within the article

so as to not post the same article twice

Posting the same article multiple times damages your ranking score rather than aiding it

6 Honesty,

NEVER replicate someone else’s article

Always use original content in your own articles

Do not make up facts or figures always do your research

This is the most important rule in article marketing

If this rule is not followed, you can destroy your online reputation forever

7 Remember to be yourself

One of the most important aspects of article marketing is having your own original

content and putting your own personality inside the article

People start following and reading your articles on a repeated basis

Not because of the actual article, but how you put yourself within it

It is important to realize when you write an article you are putting part of yourself on paper

In a sense, you are pouring your soul out for others to see

8 Follow the 95% to 5% rule

Do not fill your articles up with links

Do not attempt to sell your readers

Always make sure 95% of the article is full of content

Only the last 5% should include one or two links

9 Positive mind

There is so much lack of enthusiasm in the world today that we go online to avoid negativity

Keep your articles consistently positive in mindset

Never slander others, never put down others or your readers, make jokes but do not poke fun at others

Negativity may gain short-term traffic, but long term it is destructive to your reputation

10 How to end

Always leave your reader with a call to action or a question

Do not leave your reader hanging
