Make Money Online - A Strategic Guide to Article Marketing

Is your goal to make money online? Employ these article marketing strategies to build traffic to your website. You probably realize that advertising your online business with articles is a great way to increase traffic to your site. One of the benefits of article marketing, is that you do not have to pay money to advertise and make money online.

All it costs is your time to write articles. You do not pay any money to post them to online directories. And once your article is on the internet, you can forget it and it will be online promoting your website without any more effort on your part.

Your articles must be short and to the point. But they should not be so short that they look like mini blog posts. They should be between three hundred and five hundred words. Any longer and people will not take the time to read them. Any shorter and people will think you did not take the time to research your topic.

Your article should be written at the third grade level. The articles are to inform and not to impress. Do not try to put in large words or use complicated sentence structure. Make your article fun and enjoyable. But remember, it is the information that is important, and not your writing prowess.

Place keywords in the article title and in the first paragraph of text. Then place keywords every one hundred words on average. If you put too many keywords however, your article will not be accepted by the article directory.

Use numbers in your article title. People like to know what they will get from your article. So you can write an article title like, "Five Ways to Save Money on Your Taxes."

When you write your bio information for your resource box, include your website link. However, give the reader a reason to visit your site. Let them know they will receive a free gift when they go to your site. Once they are at your website, make sure that your free gift is deliverable via email so that you can add this visitor to your email opt-in list. As I have discussed in other articles, you need to build your list to make money online and build upon your income.

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
