Article marketing works. It is a medium that you can use to market products, be it your own products or affiliate products. It simply involves writing articles that make people want to visit your site or landing page.

Now, before you start to get excited, I have to tell you that you have to give value first before people want to buy you something. You just don’t put together a shitty article or two in the name of getting traffic. Not!

That is simply wrong.

You have to put the interest of your customers first. This reminds me of the Law of Compensation which states that ‘The amount of money you are paid will depend on the need for what you do, your ability to do it and the difficulty of replacing it’.

Therefore, you must provide valuable information to your readers.

Now what you want to create when you write your articles is what is called CURIOSITY. You want them to WANT MORE than you have given them.

And they can only want more than you have given if what you have given is valuable. So the idea is to give them a taste of the delicious food you prepared so that they are the ones who ask for more.

Now how do you do it? You give them useful but incomplete information. Yes, this is how you do it. Now that you’ve given them a gift (something you gave them for free), they would trust you as an expert and as someone who is willing to add value to their lives first, not just tell them to buy something from you at first. meeting.

You have to give before you receive. Give and it will come back. This is how it is. That is the law of sowing and reaping.

So when you give them a very informative article on how to solve a problem and tell them that they can get MORE information if they visit your website, they will do so with enthusiasm. This is because they now trust you as an expert and someone who is willing to be generous with their information before asking for anything in return.

Examples of information you can write an article about are ‘how to earn more money in less time’, ‘how to import cars without stress’, ‘how to get a visa without going to the embassy’, etc.

Keep writing articles

Never give up. Don’t stop writing articles because after a month of writing there is no traffic to your site. You have to keep believing that you will be successful before you make your breakthrough. You have to stick with it. Keep writing and adding value to life. Share the information you have. The rewards will come if you don’t give up.

Write regularly

Don’t write articles once in a blue moon and expect instant results. Write at regular intervals. This helps you in the following ways:

1) Search engines love content-rich sites that are always updated at regular intervals. Helps you rank high in search results.

2) Encourage people who have visited your site to keep coming back. I mean, why should they come back if they keep seeing the same old articles that they have read hundreds of times on your site?

So what is the summary of the previous point? It is automation. Article marketing automates the internet marketing business. Automate your traffic. That’s why it’s even good to contribute your articles to article directories like EzineArticles, which ranks high in terms of traffic on Alexa. Once your articles are there, they are there for life and bring you residual traffic.

Keep your articles short

The reason is because you want to keep people’s attention. You don’t want to bore them to sleep. You want to get straight to the point. I suggest you keep it between 400 and 1000 words. Sometimes your articles may need to be longer. But do it ONLY if absolutely necessary.

Write professionally

By that I don’t mean that you should write your article if you are writing a formal speech. In fact, you should write your article using simple, informal words as if you were talking to a friend. It makes you connect with your audience and it makes you interesting. What I mean here is to re-read your articles to make sure your spelling is correct, your grammar and punctuation are correct. The way you write can give people a good or bad impression of you.

I hope this article has given you a lot of information on how to get started. Start writing articles today and make it a success. Good luck.
