Article Marketing Secrets For The Newbie<\/h2>\n

Article Marketing is one of the simplest forms of free advertising. Writing a short article on a helpful topic is a great way to drive traffic to your website. If you\u2019re looking for an inexpensive way to get more leads then keep reading. Article marketing is not hard to do but most people get it wrong. Let me give you a few ideas that seem to work well for me, my Article Marketing Secrets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Article Marketing Secrets<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First Article Marketing Secret\u2026 How To Write A Proper Article<\/h2>\n

Start by using the proper font or text. A recent survey has shown that your title should be \u201cTahoma 20\u201d and the most popular color is RED. The font and size of the body of your article should be \u201cArial 12\u201d. The title of your article needs to draw the reader in so be sure to use content that compels them to read farther. There is a website you can go to that will tell you if you have a compelling headline called AMI Institute then headlines.<\/p>\n

Article Marketing Secret #2\u2026What Should Your Article Be About?<\/h2>\n

Find a problem common to a lot of internet marketers and write about how you have the solution. Begin by doing the proper research for your article by going to Google and see what information people are searching for. I like to go to \u201cforums\u201d because you can see what questions are being asked. This is one of the best sources for Article Marketing Secrets<\/span><\/a>. For instance type in \u201cnetwork marketing forums\u201d to see what people are asking. When you write your article keep the content between 450 and 700 words. Any more than that and you\u2019ll lose your readers attention.<\/p>\n

What Are Keywords in Article Marketing<\/h2>\n

Keywords are where you begin your article. You find what people are searching for then go to \u201cGoogle adwords keyword\u201d to see how often the keyword is being searched. This is a great tool and I could write a book on how to use this research tool. Type in a keyword and it will tell you how many times a month people look for this word or phrase. Find a word that doesn\u2019t have a lot of competition then you\u2019ll have a chance to rate higher for it. Your goal on Keyword research is to find a word or phrase that will get you higher on the search engines and ultimately on page one of Google. How\u2019s that for an Article Marketing Secret<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Use your keyword in your title and again several times in the body of your article. Don\u2019t over due it though; the optimal number is 2-5%. I use it in the title, again in the first paragraph and a couple of more times a few paragraphs down. This is known as \u201con page SEO\u201d. Again, I could write a book on that but we won\u2019t go into detail here. This is our Article Marketing Secret for now.\u00a0 Don\u2019t put any links in your article because some websites will refuse to publish your article if you have a link in the body of the article. You can however put it in the Resource section. Once you\u2019ve written your article your last paragraph will be the resource box or author description.<\/p>\n

Article Marketing Secret #3\u2026The Resource Box<\/h2>\n

The last paragraph you\u2019re going to write is sort of a call to action. You\u2019ve identified the problem they have and offered a credible solution. Now you need to guide them to where they can fix their problem. This is the place where you can add a link to where they get help. I always give them something for free such as a webinar recording or an ebook I\u2019ve written.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for now, stay tuned for more great articles on how to build your business using Article Marketing Secrets<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n
