Article Writing & Marketing – Article Marketing Is An Effective Strategy For Getting More Leads And Sales

Content creation and content marketing are an effective way of getting new leads and increasing your profits.

A recent issue of Entrepreneur Magazine had this to say about content creation and content marketing:

When it comes to marketing strategies, content marketing has just been crowned king, far surpassing search engine marketing, public relations and even print, television and radio advertising as the preferred marketing tool for today’s business-to-business entrepreneur.

Think about that: content marketing is bigger than print, radio or television. Bigger than SEO marketing or PR. That’s why you need to be creating content.

Here are 3 reasons why you need to be able to create your own content

Reason 1 – Prospects are attracted to your voice – by “your voice” I mean the unique way you approach problems. Prospect search on the internet  for solutions to their problems. When they hear your voice – how you approach and solve problems – they will be drawn to you.

Reason 2 – No one else can deliver it like you – Here’s the good news and the reality (nice when those two go together): There are more people out there, eager to hear your message, who can only hear it in your voice, than you can ever get to in your lifetime.

No one else your unique perspective, life experience, knowledge and wisdom. No one else. And there are people out there who need to hear your unique message, who can only hear it from you.

Create your content and get it out to the people who need it.

Reason 3- You need to learn how to write your own content when you are starting out.  When you start your business you are more likely to have more time than money. Use that time to learn how to quickly and easily create your own content whenever you want or need it.

Later on, when you have more money than time, you may want to outsource some of your content creation. If you have been writing your own content you will know what to look for when you are looking for someone who can “write in your voice”.

Content creation is much easier than you think, especially when you use articles as your foundation.

The 7 top benfits of using  article marketing as the basis of your content creation

1) The more you write articles, the easier it gets - Some folks will tell you that creating content (writing articles) is time consuming and hard. And it can be when you do it the wrong way. When you use templates and create content regularly, it becomes so easy that you can crank out a prospect and profit pulling articles in less than 30 minutes. Really!

2) You can easily become a recognized expert - Get your first article published on EzineArticles and you are called an Expert Author. Keep it up and publish fresh new content weekly, and you begin to be seen as a recognized expert in your niche.

3) Easy Online Visibility – Not only do you get more visibility by appearing in the top article directories and on other people’s blogs, you can use parts of your article content on all the top Social Marketing platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even YouTube.

4) Consistent Traffic Generation – Article Marketing is one of the best free sources of consistent, passive traffic. Each article you create and publish becomes it’s own stream of evergreen traffic.

As you add each new article on top of the previous ones, your traffic begins to compound, compound and compound some more. Pretty soon you have so much traffic coming in you could not stop it if you wanted to, and believe me, you won’t want to.

5) Highly Qualified List Building – When you build your list with Article Marketing, you can make big profits even if you have a small list. How does that work? Well, in these Social Marketing times, when someone takes 3 – 5 minutes to read your article, they have raised their hand as a highly qualified person for your list. And when you take good care of your list, they will respond.

6) Rapid Product Creation – So many people get stuck when it comes to product creation. I don’t want that to happen to you. The great news is that when you are creating content for your articles, you are also creating content for your information products.

7) The New Expert Author - Having your article content spread all over the internet qualifies you as the New Author, with all the rights, privileges, expert status and respect of a traditional author, without the hassles of becoming a traditional author.

A few years ago I took some of the articles I’d written and turned them into an ebook. I sold  hundreds of books. I went on to create a coaching program based around the Ebook and made even more money from the same content.

I’m now preparing to put an updated version of the book on Kindle and offer a print version too. That will lead to even more income from the same content!

I learned how to create profitable content from Jeff Herring, he was my first online mentor in 2007.

Jeff recently suggested we do a webinar together where he walked us through creating high quality content. This won’t be your average webinar, we will actually be creating content live on the webinar. Don’t miss it…

Good Content Is A Means Of Making Money, read on to discover how to create profitable content and get your fair share of the rewards

Content is the foundation of EVERYTHING on the internet.. Creating content then marketing it well is how you make money online.

Create Your Content - The key to successful content creation is to be prolific. Most people spend much of their time staring at a blank screen thinking about what to write. I don’t want you to do what most people do because most people aren’t making money from their  online content.

Instead of staring at a blank screen I suggest you use article writing templates. Create a 7 tips article or a 3 mistakes article. Then all you have to do is fill in the blanks with your information.

Another great way to become prolific is to write regularly. Make writing a habit, and you’ll find yourself writing more articles more easily.

Market Your content - So many people create their content and then do nothing with it. Please don’t do that, it’s such a waste.

There are so many ways to market your content. Start by putting it on your blog. Then post your article on EzineArticles and other top Article Directories. Next use your content on  Social Media. Use your article or excerpts  of your content on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and LinkedIn. You can also turn your content into teleseminars and webinars and coaching programs!

Most people do not realize that while you are creating your content you are also creating content that can easily be turned into your information products. Convert your content into products and services and sell it.

For example, a simple 7 tips article can easily be expanded to become a great eBook. A collection of several articles on a specific topic can be gathered into one document and become an ebook or mini-guide.

And that’s really just getting started with creating content that makes you money. There is so much more you can do. One of the best ways to offer an info product is in multimedia, you can easily create print, audio and video training from your content.

A simple way to write articles that people want to read is to is to identify a problem that the people in your target audience have and then provide them with an answer that will help them solve the problem.

People like to read things that show them how to solve a problem. Articles that contain easy to follow steps always work well.

For example:  Three Simple Steps To Boost Your Confidence or How To Stop Your Dog Barking In Four Easy Steps or How To Get More Visitors To your Website

Bear that in mind the next time you write an article and you will have a much easier time deciding what to write about and how to write it. AND you can be sure that more people will actually read it.

Make sure you look for your next tip tomorrow.

I hope you found yesterday’s article writing tip helpful.

Today we’re going to talk about choosing the right title for your article.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good title when it comes to getting your article read by more of your target market. The right title will grab attention, get more people reading your article and get your article published by more newsletter owners.

Your title should be descriptive and catchy and promise a benefit. It should draw your reader in and make them want to know more. The idea is to immediately capture your reader’s attention with a casual glance and let them know what they will get as a result of reading your article.

This may sound a little tricky but with practice and testing you will get the hang of it.

You CAN write good articles fast. When you stop obsessing over writing perfect articles you will be able to write lots more articles much faster. To write articles quickly, you need to give yourself permission to write good enough articles.

Make writing the first thing you do each day

Try writing before you do anything else. Make writing the first activity of the day. Try it, words will flow more easily when your mind is uncluttered.

Allow yourself to write junk, you can edit it later

Just write whatever comes, don’t edit as you write. You can edit your articles once you have allowed your creative juices to flow.

Don’t obsess over the right words, just write. Give yourself permission to write in incomplete sentences, make notes to yourself if need be and just keep writing. You can check spelling and grammar later.

Set article writing goals

Write for 30 minutes at the beginning of the day, download all the ideas that have come to you while you’ve been sleeping.

Take one of your article ideas and set yourself a challenge to write a complete article in 30 minutes. When you give yourself a deadline it helps you to stay focused, you will find you write more when you have a deadline and don’t edit as you write. Try it and see for yourself.

I’ve started using journaling software to help me keep track of my writing projects. It could help you be more productive. You can download it for free and use it for 45 days. Plenty of time to discover whether it could be one of your keys to writing articles fast.
