Will article marketing help you make money online? Yes. Using nothing more than article marketing, I’ve created more than 1000 leads over the last 60 days online. I’ve only actually been doing any online promotional strategies for the last couple of months. If more people understood how to do article marketing the right way, they wouldn’t waste so much money on PPC advertising. My purpose here is to help you create results very fast using article marketing techniques and concepts that have been effective at promoting my own business.

The number one thing you want to do is create useful and relevant information for your readers. What do I mean? Simply put, you need to be a useful resource for helping people solve their most important problems with your articles. I’ve read articles before that were related to the same subject as a targeted search, but weren’t useful to the problem. Articles like that never work very well for anyone who uses them. It’s important to talk to the problem directly and provide some useful insights for your audience. Relevant, useful information is step one in ranking in the search engines.

Second, you want your offer in the resource box to be specifically targeted towards your reader. Simply put, you want to have an author resource box that solves the exact problem that created your article in the first place. It’s important that your resource box is viewed with continuity with your core article message. Does that make sense? Make your offer as relevant as possible.

Third, if you want an article to stay ranked in the search engines you need A LOT of backlinks. When I say a LOT I mean A LOT. Most people assume that just because something is on EzineArticles or any other article directory that it will rank high… and it won’t. As a minimum linking technique, you should add your article to all of the social bookmarking sites that you can. I use OnlyWire to automatically bookmark all of my article pages. That will immediately give your articles backlinks, attention, and more traffic than if you don’t do it.

Last, write a whole bunch of articles. Most people online simply don’t write enough articles to make any significant difference long term for their websites. How much content do you need to make? As many as you have time to complete. I make sure that personally I create one new article every single day.

My final thought for you is to be optimistic! Once I mastered article marketing, making money on the internet was one of the easiest things I ever did. Keep your eyes out for more useful tips! (After all, I do write one new article per day.)
