When it comes to making money on the internet marketing articles is a great way to get traffic to your website. In my humble opinion no one who is just starting out should pay money for traffic. There is just too steep of a learning curve and you don’t need to lose a lot of money while you are learning. You can get a lot of people to visit your site and it won’t cost you a dime, if you learn to do it right. When it comes to using article marketing you do need to follow some rules.
For one thing, it’s important to pick the right keyword. Ideally, you want a keyword that gets a fair amount of monthly searches but not too many. I know that may sound like dumb advice but if the keyword you target gets millions of searches every month, it’s a safe bet that it also has a lot of competition. If that’s the case your article will be so far down in the results that no one will read it anyway. Better to target keywords with less competition so your article can end up on page one of Google, that’s how you’ll get the traffic.
Another thing to remember when you are building an internet marketing articles business, is that if you just try to write some useless, poorly written articles you’ll just be wasting your time. No one expects to read a masterpiece online but most people expect at least some informative interesting article. Make sure your spelling is good and that you use decent grammar. If English is not your first language you might want to have someone proof read your articles before you submit them.
Keep your articles personal and conversational as much as possible. If you can use personal stories that will help the reader connect with you as well as just make them more likely to read the whole article. Of course, by personal I don’t mean your name or address, it’s nice to keep a little anonymity online, but something that will elicit an emotional response from whoever reads your article.
Don’t try to sell anyone. Be willing to give helpful information before you get a sale. Give before you get. Follow that advice and you can’t help but be successful. People are completely overwhelmed by ads. We have ads coming to us all day every day. You can’t even go see a movie anymore without having to sit through 15 minutes of commercials first (which really ticks me off since I didn’t pay 13 bucks to watch commercials, I mean I could do that at home for free!). Sorry, I digress. Just remember to have a little fun in your writing and provide your readers with something that can actually benefit them.
Getting traffic on the internet marketing articles is one of the absolute best ways for anyone, especially people just starting out with a limited budget. Don’t let someone talk you into using expensive, and difficult to learn, methods of getting traffic. Why would you when you can get all the traffic you need for free?
