Article Marketing Key Steps:

If you are interested in getting free search engine website traffic than you need to take a look at article marketing. The key is having a solid article marketing plan. Your plan must include a set number of articles to publish per month. You must follow through and stick to your guns and make sure you publish the number articles you have set in your plan for each month.

My article marketing plan calls for to write and submit 1 article per week for my fishing site, now some weeks I write more, but never less than 1 per week. You are probably thinking why only one article a week , why write and submit dozens of articles a week? Well you need to understand you are building a foundation for your business so quality of your articles is key to building a on-line respectability. Remember your goal to be recognized as a expert in your Selected niche market.

Article marketing is not a quick hit traffic generator, This process takes time and your website traffic increases will be over time. There are some ways to jump start your efforts by automation but you need to learn the basics before using these tools. But I can guarantee this traffic will be quality targeted traffic. I have been using article marketing for about two years now and my sales have doubled.

Now let’s get to the meat of my article and look at key steps that are needed to make your article marketing efforts successful.

#1 Like I said in my opening paragraphs above you need to identify your “niche” market to be successful with your efforts. The more specific you can be with your article marketing plan the more success you will have. You will build your whole plan based on what you choose in this step, that is why I have Identified it as #1.

#2 Based on what you have chosen as your “niche market” you will now need to create a list of keywords that are associated with your selection. This list should be no less than 50 keyword phrases. These words need to be associated with the “niche” market you have chosen. {I do not recommend you start out targeting single keywords, select keyword phrases about your niche that are two and three words in length. Concentrate on using keyword phrases that are two and three words in length.} To be honest with you I have never done very well with single keywords in my articles. It has been my experience that single keywords do not score high for me on the search engines. If you have a low advertising budget, like most of us, I would like to suggest an excellent free keyword phrase generator that is offered by Google adwords. This service is free and you do not need to deposit any money. Just enter a single keyword that is specific to your niche and the Adwords system will generate a keyword phrase list of two, three and more words. Concentrate on using the two and three word phrases for your article marketing efforts.

#3 Now you are ready to start writing articles! What I do in my writing is just start writing what comes to mind that is pertinent to the niche I have selected. If you have to do any research do it before you start writing. This is also an excellent way to help with your articles structure. Start out writing by inserting your two and three word phrases as you go. One thing about keywords or phrases is that you do not want to repeat the same targeted word or phrase more than once every 100 hundred words. Take for example, if I were writing a article about article marketing and targeting the phrase “ Article Automation” and the length of my article was say 700 words, I would need to make sure this key word phrase was not used more than once every 100 words and no more then 7 times total. There are some twists you could use like mixing it up and instead of using “crappie fishing you could use “crappie angling” Its up to you. Just don’t repeat the same phrase in a 100 word count, the search engines penalize you for doing so and your article will not score well. Remember concentrate on the quality of your article when inserting keyword phrase. It’s important that you get the attention of the reader.

#4 Create a list of article directories to submit your article too. All article directories are not created equal so I suggest you use the following simple steps list the sites you want to submit to in a priority by Google ranking sequence. First thing you need to do is go to Google and type in “article directory” in the search box. The results will give you 1000’nds of sites to use in your list development. I Do suggest two very important article sites that are worth mentioning that you should put at the top of your list, and they are ezinearticles.com and Searchwarp.com. I use a free Google ranking tool that is simple to use to locate each sites ranking. Type in the following keyword phrase “website ranking tools for Google” at Google’s search box to find a free ranking tool suitable for you, or just e-mail me and I send the link I use. Just a note when developing a list use sites with rankings of 6,5,4,3 first, these sites will get you some traffic over time.

Well folks that should do it! Good luck with your article marketing efforts may success come your way!

If you have been marketing online for any length of time I am sure you have heard of Private Label Rights or PLR. But just know what it is doesn’t cut it or just using PLR won’t have the same effect you would get from rewriting the private label rights content a bit before using it, say about 30% rewritten or more.

I look at PLR content almost daily for the variety of blogs that I would never be able to write enough content for.

Confession: I used PLR articles for a couple of years before I even bothered to take the time to rewrite, but as soon as I started to rewrite the content, just a little I noticed I got more attention from the major search engines. My articles were finally getting to the front page of Google as well.

PLR Will Make You Money When Used Properly

You can use private label rights article, reports, ebooks and even software packages to help earn an online income. My first PLR ebook was about fishing, a real passion of mine, and it was easy to change it up enough to make it my own. But the key is that it was much less time that it would have taken me to write the entire ebook and time is money, right.

There are multiple ways to promote private label rights prodcuts to increase your bottomline. Here are a few that should help you get started:

Rewrite And Group Article Categories Into A Bundle.

I mentioned I love fishing so it wasn’t hard to take a dozen fishing related PLR articles, rewrite them 30 or 40% and bundle them as an ebook. Just keep your articles in an order that makes sense to your readers and you will get few if any refund requests.

PLR Membership Site

I know a couple of marketers that take PLR articles, rewrite them until they own them and then add them to their Private Label Rights Membership Sites and make a great income just doing that. Most of the PLR articles they rewrite we free to begin with so they really have no investment, other than their time.

Create Products That You Can Sell As PLR

Do you have an interest that you are really passionate about, like I am with fishing? Then you have the opportunity to develop your own products around your interest(s) and sell them with Private Label Rights.

How many interests do you have? Well just keep creating products around those interests.

As a computer instructor for more than 20 years I created almost all my own training materials and add them to the cost of the courses I taught. I also sold them for others to use personally or in their own training classes.

Don’t sell your self short when it comes to creating products. I have many friends that just thought they had nothing to offer until I started pushing them to think about what they know. Get over the idea that you can’t contribute and start creating or at least modifying the PLR products you get before using them.
