How effective is your Article Marketing? Are you able to write Articles as it should be? Are you receiving the desired results from Article Marketing?

People do start writing Articles but are still not receiving expected results and hence traffic to their website. If you are one of those who would like to gain more from your Article writing efforts then this one is for you.

In this Article Marketing Part TWO, I will show you how to structure an Article and some tips that will boost your results. This Article will enable you to achieve better results purely by taking care of few points within the same Articles.

How to structure your Article content?

Article writing is an art but you can definitely develop the skills to write good articles. This is one of the key elements of a successful Article. One of the ways is to be very systematic and structure your article as follows

1. In the first paragraph of your Article you need to step into the shoes of your readers and connect with their fears, frustration or problem i.e. talk about the issue of your reader.

Eg. If you are writing an article about weight loss then start the Article by asking a question like “Are you struggling with weight loss?” or something similar.

2. In the next paragraph you start to offer them a plan of action.

Eg: “Its proven that 95% of diets simply don’t work, but don’t lose hope as I will be showing you a 3 step plan that will help you lose weight steadily without working your butt out!”

3. Provide valuable information or tips

Eg: “The 3 step weight loss plan is …..”

4. Important: Clearly mention a Call-To-Action, this is something you ask the reader to do after they have read your article.

Eg: Sign-up for your monthly newsletter on diet planning/weight management on your blog, or read more about a product that you offer, etc.

Article Marketing Tips

1. Articles should be regarding a certain facet of your niche and should be around 500 words. Don’t produce very long Articles.

2. Many Article Directories provide you with a resource box similar to the signature area feature offered in forums and also enable you to fill in your Profile or Bio in detail.

3. Use your full name as the author of the Article and as Username when you sign-up to Article Directories. This helps create your personal brand on the internet.

4. Clearly mention your USP (unique selling point), either something about the product you offer (if you have your own product or promoting one as an affiliate), your expertise in some area, etc.

5. Provide a link to your website or blog in your profile and your signature.

6. Important: Provide a Call-To-Action towards the end of your article.

7. Don’t provide more than 1 Call-To-Actions as this can confuse the reader.

8. Don’t provide a list of websites; limit it to 1 or maximum 2. Focus on branding and list building.

9. Don’t list your products.

10. Your resource box information or line count should be around 15% of your total article line count, that’s the norm.

Sweet tip :-) to finally put your Article Marketing on Steroids

1. You can use Article Spinners to spin (rephrase) your articles so that you can re-submit these same but rephrased content to these directories a few times which will give you more backlinks, more internet presence and of course more traffic.

2. Another one could be having an Article Submitter. This will submit your Article to many directories automatically. Again this would save you a lot of time.
