Writing Articles For Fun and Profit

Article marketing is an excellent choice to promote your online business/website. Here's a few things you MUST consider doing in order to be successful:

1. Whatever you are writing about, be sure to do your research. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about your topic, check up on it and see if there hasn't been some updating or relevant news about it. People want up-to-date information. Be impeccable in your delivery of such information. One good way to get automatic information is by signing up with a site that sends alerts to you on topics you request. Google Alerts is a very good example.

2. You will see, as we delve further into this subject, that posting your articles to many Article Directories will, obviously, increase the exposure your articles receive. However, there is an issue I would like to address, briefly, at this point. There is a raging debate going on about "Duplicate Content" and how the search engines do not like it. I have gone into this issue in other blog posts and articles, but for now, the short and dirty way around this problem would be to post the article on YOUR site first, allow the search engine spiders to index it and THEN submit it to your favorite Article Directories. A complete detailed post, including what Google actually says about it, can be found at ArticleWritingNews.com

3. Don't think that writing just one post about a topic is sufficient. There are many ways to re-purpose your article. Just one article can be written in at least 6 different ways: a straight-up informational piece, a tips list, a how-to list, in an interview style, as a story and a FAQ list. There are more ways, just look around.
