I’ve used a lot of marketing techniques over the years to market my business. All of them are effective. These include search engine optimization, joint ventures, linking, forums, and others. However, nothing has brought me more traffic and sales to my business than article writing.

The reason that article writing is so powerful is that it is one of those marketing methods that you have a lot of control over, at least in the beginning.

However, once you start using articles to market your business, you can quickly and easily unleash a viral marketing strategy of epic proportions.

Here is how article writing can help you:

1. It brands you as an expert on your topic.

For those who have read me for any length of time, you should understand how important this is. Instead of having to constantly find new customers, your customers will come to you. This will save you a lot of time on your marketing efforts. In the long run, it will also save you a lot of money because you are having to expend less effort on marketing.

2. You build backlinks to your site.

My articles have been published on thousands of sites throughout the internet, as well as in print books, newspapers, and magazines. My articles have also been published throughout the world. My articles have also been published in some of the top ezines online, ezines that have more readers than a lot of daily newspapers.

3. You unleash a viral marketing strategy.

This is a powerful marketing strategy because it turns your marketing on 24/7. Use search engine optimization for your articles and then make sure that they are in the search engines. Allow others to publish your articles. Offer an affiliate program, and before you know it, your articles will be on thousands of sites.

4. You don’t need to be a great writer.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m addicted to writing. I earned a bachelor’s degree with majors in both Journalism and English. I have tons of writing time under my belt, as well as writing credits.

However, you don’t need my writing credentials to writte a good article.

I’ve received emails from readers in over 40 countries.

When I first started writing articles to promote my business, I had absolutely no idea that this would happen.

You can create the same kind of viral marketing strategy in your business.

Over the next few days, I’ll be telling you how to write an article, as well as discuss the pros and cons of private label articles. I’ll also show you how I promote my articles, as well as how to find places to help you market your articles.
