The benefits of employing a variety of article marketing strategies have been evident to the top internet marketers for years.  Articles are a great way to get both links and ‘warm’ traffic to websites, and the ideal starting place is with a well-written article.

By investing in a great article, IMers know that they can use them in a variety of ways, particularly:

* Shortened as blog posts
* Copy for making a video
* Read them to create MP3 audio files
* Use snippets in blog networks

The most useful article is one that is easy to read – ensure your articles meet these minimum standards -

Correct Spelling and Grammar

Don’t settle for just good enough when it comes to grammar and spelling.  Typos and spelling errors are a real distraction to the reader, so take the time to check what you have written.

This is very important if you are positioning yourself as an expert, and you want your expertise to be the reason that readers will visit your site.Your credibility will suffer if your article is badly written.

Keep It Simple

Your readers are looking for information, and because they are searching for it online they are the types of people who are used to instant gratification.  They want the material without fluff in an easy to read way.

Don’t complicate things with overly technical or flashy words – your readers might not be as intelligent as you are, and by using complicated language you run the risk of making them feel inferior. And they won’t thank you for that!

If you want to connect with your readers, learn to speak their language.

Large Blocks of Text Are Scary

Long paragraphs can be very daunting – to people who are used to scanning and extracting key points they spell ‘hard work’. 

Use small paragraphs made up of short sentences to keep the reading easy.  Bullet points and sub-headings and are great tools to help with this.

Keep It Real

Knowing your stuff is really important. If you are writing about a topic within a specific niche, make sure you have your facts right.  If your aim is to have your article republished in an ezine or newsletter, then this is vital.

Again, use language that is appropriate to the niche.

Don’t Try To Sell

Selling is not the objective of an article. If appropriate you can give an ‘opinion’ or ‘review’ or speak in general terms about services or products, but get your readers to your site before going for a sale.  Even then, the top marketers like to first gather contact information (‘squeeze’) before approaching a sale.

Your objective is to create enough interest for your reader to follow the “Call To Action” in the Resource Box or final paragraph.

Article marketing strategies are constantly evolving, so keeping up with them is vital to the success of your internet marketing campaigns.
