Just about anyone who has a business on the Internet uses article marketing as part of their marketing efforts. Article marketing is when a person writes an article related to a product or service they’re offering in an attempt to get more people to become their customer. Unfortunately not many people even know the right way to write articles.

One of the keys to writing articles is to make sure they will rank high on the search engines. This is done through search engine optimization. This means that the article is written using a keyword or a keyword phrase in the article so that the article appears when that keyword or keyword phrase is searched for.

Just about everyone who writes articles knows that the articles have to be search engine optimized. So this is followed but the other key for the right way to write articles is completely overlooked. The other key ingredient is to make sure the article is well-written, easy to read, and informative.

Too many people simply write an article as fast as they can and pump it full of keywords or a keyword phrases and then throw it up on the Internet. The article is not educational and has no value to anyone. So people will find the article but they won’t go any further.

So anyone writing an article has to remember there are two steps that must be taken by any potential customers. First the person has to find the article and then they have to read it and find enough value to want to continue to where the article directs them.

There are many people who write articles but absolutely hate it. Many of these people also have no idea how to write a good article. Luckily there is a formula they can follow.

The first part of a good article is the title. The title should include the keyword or keyword phrase and it should also promise to give a benefit to the reader. For example, it might promise it will tell them how to save money on gas or it might promise to tell them how to write an article the correct way (just as the title of this article does). One thing to keep in mind is to always give people a list or a specific number of solutions to a problem. People love reading these types of articles.

Next an introduction has to be written. This will introduce the reader to the topic and should include a “hook” – something that will keep the people reading.

Then in the body of the article, you should give them the benefit that was promised in the title. Make sure you give them what was promised. If you promised “4 Ways to Save Money on Gas” then you better give them 4 ways to save money on gas. If not, they’ll get disgusted and simply click-out of your article.

Finally, in the conclusion you should just sum-up what the entire article was about. Some people like to make the conclusion a mirror image of the introduction.

Many people write articles and post them on the Internet but not many people actually know the right way to write articles. A good article needs to be optimized for search engines and it also needs to be well-written so that the article leads the reader to where you want them to go.

The money is in the list, the money is in the list, the money is in the list, how many times have we heard every guru on the planet say this? Hundreds, thousands?, and with good reason.

I’m going to show you 5 ways how to add quality subscribers to your list without spending a fortune.

1. Use Squeeze Pages – Basically, what a name squeeze page is, is a simple subscribe form that then leads them to either a free report or a sales letter. Sign up for the following name squeeze pages to get a good idea of what to do.
   
   http://www.doubleyourdating.com
   http://www.fireyourweddingplanner.com
   
2. Add More Subscription Boxes To Your Website – Sounds simple enough, but few people actually do it. If you have a 100 page website, you should have 100 newsletter subscribe boxes on your website or blog.

   You can integrate a subscribe box just about anywhere in a website. You could add one just before an article starts, in the middle of an article or even at the end of the article.

   As long as you have good content on your website, you won’t have a problem getting people to subscribe to your newsletter.

3. Use Free Viral Ebooks To Get New Subscribers – Want to get thousands of new subscribers for your newsletter without spending a cent on advertising and you’ve tried all the methods above but you still want more?

   Viral marketing is the way to go! Writing viral ebooks that get passed aroundWriting viral books is nothing new, but it’s still a great way to get your newsletter noticed. There are a few methods you can use when creating viral ebooks.You can either create them as a free product, or charge for them and give people the reprint rights to the product so they in turn can give your product away while making some money in the process.

   I prefer the reprint right route. Once the momentum of the first book wears out, write another and another and another and another! All in the same method, all with reprint rights and all with your newsletter subscribe from plastered in them.

   The goal really isn’t to make money from the sales of the book, it’s to get more subscribers.

4. Write FREE Articles – While it’s a given you will put your newsletter subscribe address in your resource box at the end of the article, this is not the best way to get people to subscribe to your newsletter.

   The best way is to write a few free E-courses that people can subscribe to via an autoresponder and weave the links into your article. Here is what I mean, and I can tell you now, HARDLY ANYONE is doing this.

   Let’s say you have a newsletter on Fishing and you’re in the middle of writing a few articles to send out for publication. Here is what I would do.I would go to Aweber.com, buy a monthly subscription to their service and then start writing up 2 or 3 free e-courses on all things to do with Ice Fishing and plug them into my autoresponder.

   Now why would I want to do this if I really want people to subscribe to my newsletter? Well, article writing has come under attack by people who believe cutting peoples article bylines out is acceptable. They just steal the content as their own. So instead of trying to fight these people everyday of the week, I’ve accepted this is going to happen and I made provisions for it, and infact, it probably works in my favor.

   So in my article while I’m writing it, I would let the readers know there is this great E-course for free they can sign up for. I wouldn’t mention it was mine. I would just weave it into my article and it looks like I’m providing them with a great free resource.

   I would then provide them with the autoresponder link and how to sign up.

   Also remember that when you write your resource box for your article, you don’t have to get them to go to a webpage to sign up for your newsletter.

   You can put your newsletter subscribe information in your resource box like this….

   “To get more information on how to catch more bass on a weekly basis, sign up for our newsletter by sending a blank email to youremail@address-here.com”

5. Use Free Forum Posting – This is a great way to get not only more subscribers for your newsletter but recognized as an expert in your field. By posting helpful suggestions in forums in your market, you will get a lot of good attention. I’m not going to get into a whole lot about this subject as it’s pretty easy to get started.

   1) Find forums in your niche

   2) Read some of the back posts and see whos the boss, who posts good content and what the rules are3) Start posting with informative information and include your little newsletter byline at the end of your post or in your signature file

   What most people have a problem with is not writing good posts, but finding the forums to post in.

   Now that work is done for you. Just enter the topic your newsletter is on into the website address below and you will find all the forums you could possibly want on those subjects.

Start using them yourself, pretty soon you’ll have a quality subscribers to your list.

All the best,

E-books are electronic books that can be sold or freely distributed through the Internet. They have a variety of information and uses. Most people love these things, as they take hardly any time at all to put together and can really help market yourself or your business. Take a look at some instances where an E-book can really take your business to the next level.

First, an E-book can be on most any subject you can imagine– from dogs to kids, to even Internet marketing. Most of these are very easy to read and can be very short or long depending on how much work is put into them. Of course, the more work you put into them, the better they usually are. One big advantage to an E-book is you can cater them to do whatever you like. Many businesses and individuals are using them to promote their business or whatever they are selling. This is made easier as these books can be coded with your own website links or your own products if that is what you desire.

No longer are you at the mercy of anyone else. If you can type, then you can be a published author if you want. The E-book craze just keeps rolling on and it looks like that won’t end anytime soon either. Most people give away E-books as a way to get more people to look at their products and it works extremely well for the most part. Others package them with reports or something else so they can give more value for the buck. No matter which option you choose, the E-book is a very powerful tool that can change your business virtually overnight if you market it right. Sales from one book can equal thousands of dollars if you hire affiliates and others to promote your product. Just don’t write it and sit on it. Get it out there and see how it does for you. You may be surprised at the success you have with it and all the people that actually read it.

One of the biggest mistakes many people make with using E-books is putting together one so fast it just isn’t worth publishing. Many mistakes can be made if you don’t do your homework, especially on the subject. This is something to always remember. You can’t fake what you don’t know, so always consider that when making an E-book. Do it on a subject that you love and know a lot about. Don’t do it on things you have very little knowledge on because it will show through very quickly. E-books can be your best friends if you use them properly or your worst nightmare if you don’t. Getting an E-book out just for the sake to say you are a published author is just not worth it. In the long run, always have quality over quantity and you will be successful. E-Books are great if used right, so keep that in mind when you decide to write an e-book.

You probably already know what viral marketing is about. It’s a marketing technique that encourages readers and website owners themselves to pass the messages ostensibly for free, but really to the benefit of the original maker of the message.

Here’s an example for you..

Remember The Hotmail Explosion?

Hotmail was able to flourish magnificently in the Internet simply through viral marketing:

Free Services – They started with the most basic of incentives: they gave away email accounts and related services for free.

Signature – For each message sent by users with free email accounts, a simple, non-irritating signature was attached: it was a hyper link invitation to have a similarly free email account.
How to virally increase your traffic with Resale Rights

The Building of an Empire – Without even knowing, email owners are participating in the viral marketing campaign of Hotmail every time they send an email to other people. Upon reading the tagline, recipients may be induced to have their own email account in Hotmail as well. When they’ve successfully created one, each message they send to other recipients contain the very same invitation, and the cycle starts all over again.

So what does viral marketing got to do with Resale Rights?

The further you read into this, you will understand the link between Resale Rights and Viral Marketing.

When you sell your products with resale rights, not only you gain income from selling the rights to the books, but you also indirectly profit from increased exposure. As long as the works you’ve sold contain specific and beneficial information about your company, each time your customer sells them to other people will instantly means one more reader getting acquainted with what your company’s all about.

Thus your readership and awareness will increase.

Through viral marketing, you’ll need to give your customers more reasons to resell the works they’ve bought from you and consequently solidify the presence of you in the Internet.

Here’s a list of characteristics for starting your own viral marketing virus. Your strategy should have all of the following characteristics:

Free – There must be something for free! If not the resell rights themselves, then think of something else that you can give away for free.

Simple and Easy Transmission Items – Articles, ebooks, and eCourses are easy to send. Podcasts, although possessing more than the usual number of bytes, are still not that difficult to transfer as many people nowadays have their own MP3 or MP4 players. Whatever format or medium you choose to convey your marketing campaign, it must be something that won’t give people headaches just to send them!

Encourage People to Spread the Word – There must be something psychologically or socially appealing about your message vehicle that will motivate other people to spread the word or work. If your article’s totally funny or witty, it will encourage customers to sell the article to other people because they’ll be providing valuable entertainment to their customers. Find a way to appeal to your readers’ ego or greed as long as it works, that should be good enough for the business.

Paid Advertising- Although accompanied by certain fees or charges, paid advertising have the advantage of greater and more specifically-targeted exposure. Paid advertisers can ensure that the right people are seeing your ads at the right time. Examples of paid advertising are classifieds and press releases.

Free Advertising – Don’t underestimate the use of free advertising because more exposure is still better than none. You can advertise for free in giveaways, forums, blogs, and your very own newsletters and auto-responders.

Rely on Your Network – Don’t forget to have your links displayed by your affiliates.

So here you are. You are holding “Virus” button. Do you want to swarm your website with traffic, or do you want your website be a deserted island?

FACT: The choice is yours.

Thanks and Good Luck,
Duncan Chua
