Is article marketing an effective strategy? It will. Using nothing more than article marketing, I've created more than 1000 leads over the last 60 days online. I'm new to online marketing, too. In fact, I've only been marketing my business online for 60 days. Sometimes I see people online who are frustrated with article marketing, and I think that it's because they don't understand the basic mechanics of search engine placements. My goal here is simple. I want you to have some immediate ideas that will help you make more money, faster with your article marketing efforts.

The first thing I'd like to talk about is how important it is that your information is relevant and useful. You may be wondering what I mean. You need to help people solve issues that they're having with your articles, or you won't get any traction from your marketing efforts. For example, if someone was looking for 'how to sponsor MLM distributors', you wouldn't want your article ranking in Google for that phrase if it had nothing at all to do with the concept. You want to speak directly to the core issues of your readers as much as possible. You'll rank better in the search engines from creating useful information than anything else you could do.

Second, you want your offer in the resource box to be specifically targeted towards your reader. Simply put, you want to have an author resource box that solves the exact problem that created your article in the first place. It's important that your resource box is viewed with continuity with your core article message. Does that help? Simply make your marketing message as focused on the issue as you can.

Third, if you want an article to stay ranked in the search engines you need A LOT of backlinks. When I say a LOT I mean A LOT. It's wrong to assume that an article will rank high just because it is original and useful. As a minimum linking technique, you should add your article to all of the social bookmarking sites that you can. I use OnlyWire to automatically bookmark all of my article pages. That simple little trick will immediately boost your traffic and it only takes 2 minutes to complete.

Last, write a whole bunch of articles. Most marketers that I meet simply don't ever create enough useful information to make a difference for any of their websites. How many articles should you create? As many as you possibly can. I only write one article per day, but I make sure that EVERY day I create one new piece of relevant, useful information and I create as much useful information from it as I possibly can.

My last idea is that you need to be positive about your website's future. Making money online is easy if you get good at article marketing, and it is simply one of the coolest strategies you could possibly engage in long term. Keep looking for more article marketing ideas! (After all, I do write one new article per day.)
