Writing Articles - Top Five Reasons Why You Need to Use Article Marketing
 
 

Of course you know that article marketing is important when you operate a business that exists completely online, but you can also use article marketing even if you operate a brick and mortar business that has a supplemental website.

The bottom line is the if you are not utilizing the vast potential that article marketing has, then you are missing out on a very effective, simple marketing strategy that really does get results. There are several reasons that this method of marketing is so effective; these make compelling arguments for using article marketing in your own business.

  • Article Marketing is Free.

As a business owner, you know that advertising is far from cheap. You pay big buck just to run an ad in a newspaper or magazine. However, if you just spend a little extra time to write several articles each month and submitting them, you will save a bundle. You can really cut a good chunk out of your advertising budget and those funds can be allocated elsewhere. Best of all, article marketing is absolutely free. All it costs is a little of your time.

  • Article Marketing Brands Your Business.

Have you ever found it curious that some businesses seem so adept at becoming so well known in a relatively brief amount of time? Did you every wonder how that happened? It is a marketing strategy called branding. In short, the businesses are getting their name out to the public and becoming well known. Perhaps they are giving something valuable for free to potential customers, whether it is a tangible object or important information. Your articles can impart vital information to your customers, which will, in turn brand your business and make it a household name.

  • Article Marketing Makes You an Expert.

If you write and publish articles about subjects that you know very well, you will establish yourself as an expert in your field. Publish articles about various aspects of your website and place them on your site as well as submit them to article submission sites. This will let your potential customers that you know your subject.

  • Article Marketing Teaches You How to Relate to People.

There is no way that you can write a large batch of articles and not take away something about effective communication. The more that you write, the more adept you will become at getting your message across in a tone that is personal and friendly. You will learn how to give information to others without being preachy or arrogant. You will learn to write TO the people as opposed to AT them.

  • Article Marketing Creates Back Links to Your Website.

When you market your articles to most article submission sites, other people can use your articles on their sites with the stipulation that they include back links to your site from theirs. This will help to boost your rankings in the search engines. This will, in turn, help to give your website more exposure.

Keep in mind that article marketing, while very effective, is not an answer to all of your advertising woes. This is just one part of a very big picture. You must also realize that it is an ongoing process. You cannot submit one batch of articles and expect to see instant results. It just does not work that way.

Article marketing is not a one-time shot. It requires patience and persistence. Plan to set aside a few hours each week to devote completely to writing and submitting articles. This is for the promotion of your business so it is time well spent. Stick with this plan and set goals for a certain number of articles written and submitted each week. Then do it. It will not be long and you will see the fruits of your labor as more customers come to your site and buying your product or service.

Writing Feature Articles and News Articles
 

When writing news articles, it is important to have all the facts correct and omit or gloss over any you are not sure about, as this is better than stating incorrect information. News articles need to be precise and logical. When writing a news article, you need to begin with what is called "the lead." This is the "who, what, when, where, how and why" of the article, or all the key points.

Towards the end of the news article, you can include other information of lesser importance, finishing off with the least essential information. If you write a good news article, the reader will be sucked in at the beginning and happy to read the whole article. If you bring up less interesting information early on, the reader will probably abandon your article and start reading something else instead. Writing news-style is about giving the juiciest pieces of information at the beginning. Keep sentences short and to the point.

Of all the rules for writing feature articles, the best advice is to use all your senses. Feature articles are much more descriptive than news articles. For example, a news article might say, "the injured woman made her way to the emergency room." A feature article would say, "the injured woman, dragging her bleeding leg along the tiled floor, limped alone bravely to the emergency room."

A feature article adds a lot to the reader's understanding of what happened and a good description helps the reader to feel like they were at the scene. Use colors, sounds and smells as well as the way things looked. Anything that helps the reader to picture the scene is good. As for steps in writing feature articles, tell it like a story from the beginning to the end, making sure the story makes sense and everything is written down in a logical and correct order.
