Does article marketing work? Yes. Using nothing more than article marketing, I’ve created more than 1000 leads over the last 60 days online. I’m new to online marketing, too. In fact, I’ve only been marketing my business online for 60 days. Sometimes I see people online who are frustrated with article marketing, and I think that it’s because they don’t understand the basic mechanics of search engine placements. So what I’m going to do in this article is simply share some ideas that have helped me generate more than 35,000 visitors to my website in the last 2 months from article marketing.

The first thing I’d like to talk about is how important it is that your information is relevant and useful. What do I mean? Well, you want to provide valuable, useful information to people that specifically can help them solve their problems. I’ve read articles before that were related to the same subject as a targeted search, but weren’t useful to the problem. Articles like that never work very well for anyone who uses them. You want to speak directly to the core issues of your readers as much as possible. Relevant, useful information is step one in ranking in the search engines.

Second, you want your offer in the resource box to be specifically targeted towards your reader. Simply put, you want to have an author resource box that solves the exact problem that created your article in the first place. It’s important that your resource box is viewed with continuity with your core article message. Does that make sense? All you’ve got to do is tweak your marketing message to be related to your specific audience for that piece of work.

The third thing that you need to do is create a lot of incoming one way links to your article if you want it to rank in Google and stay on the front page. Simply put, you need a whole lot of other sites linking to your specific page. Most people assume that just because something is on EzineArticles or any other article directory that it will rank high… and it won’t. You want to at a minimum use OnlyWire to create social bookmarkers to all of your articles the moment after they are published. That simple little trick will immediately boost your traffic and it only takes 2 minutes to complete.

The last idea I have for you is that you need to create A LOT of original content. Most marketers that I meet simply don’t ever create enough useful information to make a difference for any of their websites. How many articles should you create? As many as you could possibly do. I only write one article per day, but I make sure that EVERY day I create one new piece of relevant, useful information and I create as much useful information from it as I possibly can.

My final thought for you is to be optimistic! Once I mastered article marketing, making money on the internet was one of the easiest things I ever did. Keep your eyes out for more useful tips! More are on the way soon!
