How To Use Articles To Make You Famous

Writing articles has been one of my key lead generating marketing strategies and has allowed me to effectively promote my e-zine and gain a ton of new subscribers. But how can writing a few short articles make an impact on your business? Begin by submit your articles to OTHER people's e-zines.

This is where online (information) marketing is at its best. Once you've written a few articles you can go on to recycle those articles and have them published within other people's e-zines and on numerous other websites across the Internet.

Never has there been such a simple way to take the legwork out of marketing. Article submission is by far the most EFFECTIVE, FASTEST and FREE way to promote your e-zine effectively ... and promote your products and services too.

What Are The Benefits of Using Articles to Promote Your Business?

1. Build Credibility

Firstly articles provided your clients and prospects with free valuable information. It enables you to demonstrate your expertise, introduce your readers to the way you work and provide them with details of the type of services, products and programs you offer.

2. Promote Yourself

It's considered perfectly acceptable practice to provide a resource box at the bottom of each article. This provides an opportunity to promote yourself and your e-zine, but do beware not to put too much emphasis on your 'business' though. Focus on promoting your free e-zine first. Once you have people signed up to your list you've then captured them and will be able to tell them more about your products and services at a later date.

3. Gain Massive Exposure

You can quickly gain a mass of online exposure to THOUSANDS of untapped prospects at one time. For example, in recent weeks I submitted an article to a free online publication site and waited with baited breath to hear the outcome. I was absolutely overjoyed when the acceptance email came through and I learnt that the publication had thousands of subscribers! You can imagine; it wasn't long before I received an influx of new subscribers for my e-zine in direct correlation with that particular article.

4. Submit Your Article Directly to Niche Publishers

I recommend that you submit your articles directly to publishers who target a similar readership as you. For this you might like to try the Directory of Ezines who offers a reliable and credible list of e-zine publishers that target the same niche as you.

5. Drive Traffic to Your Website

Recycling your articles and posting them on your own blog or website is a great way to drive traffic back to your site which may have not otherwise found its way there. Search engine spiders love fresh content so when you regularly update your website and blog you automatically gain a higher ranking in the search engine results pages.
