Five Simple Ways To Boost Your Article Writing Confidence

July 9th, 2010 Elizabeth

Whether you’re building a career as a freelance writer or simply writing articles to promote your website or products, having confidence in your writing ability is a key to being successful. But what if you don’t see yourself as a great writer or don’t feel like people should want to listen to what you have to say?

It’s easy to build your confidence in your writing ability if you’re consistent as both a writer and promoter of your articles.

1. Write every day. This seems pretty obvious, but a lot of writers or people who want to use articles as part of their marketing efforts don’t take the time to write something every day. You don’t have to finish a complete article every day, but taking even just a few minutes to write day in and day our will make you feel much more confident in your ability to write articles.

2. Don’t try for perfection. It’s easy to feel like every word you put out into the world has to be perfect, that every article must be beautifully formed, no matter how long it takes. But the truth is, just getting articles out in the world, even if they’re not perfect, is a great way to boost your confidence because just getting your words out into the world will make you feel better. You’ll also start getting feedback right away, which helps you improve your writing based on what other people are saying about your articles.

3. Keep putting yourself out there. When your articles or ideas are rejected by readers, it hurts. But you have to keep submitting articles or article ideas if you’re looking to boost your freelance writing career. If you’re an article marketer, you have to keep putting out articles to keep driving traffic to your website. Do your best to let go the ones that don’t get a great response, and redouble your efforts to write good content in the future.

4. You are the expert. Remember that you are an authority on whatever subject it is you are writing about. You’re sharing your expertise with people who are hungry for the information you have to share. Those people don’t care if your articles are flawless (though it certainly helps if they’re as clean and concise as possible); they just want the information your articles provide. Remember that whenever you sit down to write.

5. See what else is out there. Reading other articles, books and blogs in your area of expertise gives you a great idea what other people are talking about in your niche, as well as areas where people might have questions or worries. If you can answer those questions or set aside those fears in your articles, you’re sure to make voracious fans who’ll read everything you put out. There’ no bigger confidence boost than that.

Establish Credibility With Article Marketing

January 30th, 2010 Elizabeth

By William M Drapcho

One of the very best and cost effective means of promoting an online business is to utilize article marketing. Article marketing serves a number of different purposes and all of them help to increase the potential success of the business. Article marketing helps establish the credibility of a business, drive traffic, and even increase search engine placement. Of course, in order to make article marketing successful, the article marketing directories need to accept the article.

That means the writing needs to follow a few established tips so that it will be accepted in by the article marketing editors. Is this difficult? No, it really is not because many of these tips are relatively simple in concept and even someone with limited knowledge of article marketing can craft solid material that delivers excellent results.

The articles will have a greater chance of being published when they are informative. For example, if you are marketing a website that deal with fishing supplies, an article that directly explains various tips and tricks with using certain fishing lures will certainly prove informative. People want to read such material because it can help them improve their fishing adventures. An article on the joy of fishing might be entertaining, but it can also be meandering. Such an article may not be viable to the directory and that is why directly informative articles are a much better option to explore.

The articles should also be a little lively and entertaining. When the articles come off as antiseptic and clinical, they run the risk of being a little dull. Adding a little personality in the article will certainly boost its chances for success. That means its chances of being published will increase and the ability to develop a following of readers will be enhanced since they will be entertained by the material they read.

And when you are writing material for article marketing, it is critical to avoid being too sale oriented or promotional in the writing. First, readers find blatant pitches for products and services to be boring and dull. Also, this type of writing is often against the policies of most article directory services. Articles that seek solely to promote a product or service with little or no ability to be informative or entertaining are often summarily rejected. Avoid this process because it will not aid the cause of effectively marketing your business.

Keeping your language simple and to the point also adds to its odds of being published. Sometimes, writers will assume that being verbose or flowery will lead to better writing. Usually, it is the opposite that is the case and this does not lead to success in the realm of article marketing.

Article marketing is certainly an effective way of promoting a business online. And contrary to what some assume, it is not as tough to take part in provided you go about the process in the right manner. So, why not give it a try? There are surely a number of readers that would find your information helpful.

Article Writing Online – The Value

January 21st, 2010 Elizabeth

When writing your article you must try to be personal, truthful and sincere. It is an excellent idea to add your experience because when someone is reading your article they get to know you.

If you are not sure of your writing skills, pick a subject and just start writing, what ever comes to your mind. Remember to write as if you are talking to someone in person.

Very important to make your article appealing to the eyes of your reader. Using bullets or numbers help your article look organized and easier to read for your audience.
Some people add photographs, graphs and videos pertaining to the articles they have written.

One important factor when writing your article is, do not pitch and try to sell your product or opportunity. Just like when you are shopping or just looking and you have a sales person right there, trying to sell you something. Yes I know some sales people are on commission and I would not be an expert at this. I do not like a pushy sales person. There are ways to do this properly and this is the same with your article.

When I first started I asked why articles were so valuable. It works, very effective and it is free. Many of you with little budget or no budget start this way. Also the search engines like articles and one of them is Google.

To be successful with article marketing you have to discipline yourself and schedule yourself to do your writing on a consistent basis. Take massive action and doing it on a consistent basis will help you become better with it as time goes on. Looking at other writers work is very beneficial because you get ideas from their work.

You must catch the reader’s attention. The title is so important. It is important to get their attention so they will take an interest and want to continue reading your article.

You do not have time to write articles and writing is not your style. That is okay. You can hire writers, but make sure they have a good reputation. Just do your homework and do some research so you can determine who you wish to do your writing for you. Make sure the content is original and request to see some examples of their work. Also the prices do vary some but do not just go by the price.

Article Submission Software is being widely used and this allows you to do multiple submissions at one time. With this software it has auto formatting which is compatible with most article directory guidelines.

With submitting you articles, you have to make sure that you copy everything in the article, including links, description and paste to the submission site. Everything is much easier and quicker. Submitting articles is something you need to do to help you generate lots of traffic

When you first start submitting an article it will take you time to get use to it. Just be patient and find the sites you are interested in and want to use.
Article marketing does not have to be difficult. You need knowledge and the fundamentals, but you need to be consistent.

Writing articles is an awesome way to increase sales, subscribers, and traffic to your blog or website.

Why Article Marketing Works – More Traffic To Your Website

January 20th, 2010 Elizabeth

When it comes to using an online strategy that leverages the power of words, no other technique comes close to working as much as article marketing does. If you’re not familiar with article marketing, it is the basic process of writing articles on a specific topic, including a biography or resource box, and submitting it to free article directories on the internet in the hopes that it will increase traffic to your website or affiliate page.Of course, there are many misconceptions about article marketing and how it is viewed by some people, but here are some instructions for a solid article marketing plan and the benefits that can be obtained by it.

Focus on Quality

The power of the written word is like nothing else, especially when dealing with potential customers that are reading your article or content online. When using article marketing as a strategy to increase website traffic, there are usually two goals in mind: link building and authority. Written articles that are submitted to article directories and e-zines include a link back to the page or website that you’ve included in your article resource box.

The way to keep your readers engaged when article marketing so that they click through to your website is to offer quality content that gives value. If you’re offering a product that will solve your reader’s problem, concentrate on the benefits that a product like yours could deliver. Make sure that you offer alternative solutions as a way to give more value back to your potential customers.

In addition, well-written, quality articles that are used in your article marketing plan increases your authority, making you the ultimate source that people will turn to the next time they need advice or solution to a problem.

Attracting Links

A major goal and benefit of article marketing is the chance to increase your link building efforts. In short, writing articles to increase the quantity of one-way backlinks to your website is a smart, effective, and efficient process that can be done repeatedly.

There are two sets of article marketing links that you can get back to your sales page or website. The first is from the article e-zines and directories themselves. Once you publish an article on a certain topic, your link back from the article directory is permanent, essentially giving yourself and your website more popularity so that search engines will favor it by boosting its rankings.

The second set of links you can get is from webmasters and others who publish your articles on their blogs, newsletters, and websites. Granted, you are essentially giving away content rights free to these webmasters, but they in turn have to include your link back to your website. Both of these link building factors matter for the rank that your website will eventually attain in the search engines and are a crucial part of understanding why article marketing techniques are so successful.

Altogether, article marketing is a good way not only for link building and increasing your website traffic, but also for establishing authority and making yourself trustworthy with your potential customers in mind. By taking the steps to ensure quality written pieces that focus on giving value back to readers, your article marketing efforts will pay off ten-fold over the long run!

Article Marketing Basics

January 12th, 2010 Elizabeth

An affordable way of internet marketing is that of article marketing. It is cost-free money wise, but entails some time to write the article.

The best articles are those that are written from pure content, written with a new perspective for the subject at hand.

Most every subject has been covered by someone, somewhere, at sometime, and all the following articles on the same subject are just a rehash of the original article in one way or another using different words.

With the introduction of article writing software, the business of article marketing has become profitable to many writers, yet has come to the attention of search engines such as Google and others. I believe that if you write your own articles, using your own words and not copying someone else words and making your writing unique, you will go far in your writing career.

One way of getting started in article marketing is to follow the Bum marketing method of article marketing, so named by the author of the bum marketing method, Travis Sago who named it this when after submitting a couple of articles in his wives name and making money with them, she exclaimed, I bet you could take a bum off the street and teach him to make money in a library using the computer for free.

While it is true that Bum marketing works and is absolutely free of cost, not everybody makes money with this method for many reasons, one of which is not completely following the original method as taught by Travis, and going off on your own way in thinking how it should work.

Another problem is not writing using originality of you own words, by copying someone else words and just changing some sentences and paragraphs with your own.

It is becoming much harder these days to cheat the search engines by copying articles in this manner. A good example is how Google as a search engine looks at articles and decides which of two articles written on the same keyword is more worthy of a better page rank and position.

The article written with the best content usually wins out, and the best content is the one that gives pertinent information to help the reader and is written in an easy informal way. My advice to anyone reading this article is to just be natural in your writing articles and also to be unique, so as to brand your writing as your own and no one else.

Internet Marketing Tips – Marketing Under Pen Names

December 22nd, 2009 Elizabeth

I want to thank my friend Oilman, from the Warrior Forum, for bringing up this question. He wanted to know if marketing under a pen name was ethical. He was having some personal problems with it and wanted to know how others felt. Instead of posting my response there, where only a few people will see it, I’m going to answer the question in this article. Please understand, this is only my opinion.

For starters, let’s get one thing straight right off the bat. Marketing under a pen name is not illegal. People do it all the time. The list of authors who wrote under pen names is a mile long. Certainly nobody really believes that there is a Geico gecko. I know I don’t. Point is, companies have been using fictional characters of all sorts to endorse all kinds of products. I think the public is intelligent enough to know that this is just a representation.

But what about the person who uses XYZ name to promote a product that he has created and people begin to identify the product with him, especially if he promotes himself as the “friendly” marketer, or the “average Joe” marketer? What if that’s the name he actually uses, something like “Average Joe Wilson” and his real name is John Smith. Is this ethical? Is this person getting sales based on a persona that he has created that he wouldn’t have normally gotten otherwise?

Well, maybe he is. But that still doesn’t answer the question…is it ethical? Okay, here is how I look at it. If the product does what the persona claims, made up or not, then I see no problem. If I create a product that fixes relationships and I call myself the “Relationship Repairman” does it really matter that my name is Steven Wagenheim? And yes, that’s my REAL name. I mean my goodness…who would make up a name like Steven Wagenheim? Certainly I can do better than that.

Point is, it’s what the product promises and delivers on that matters. If I used my real name and created a product that was garbage, I think THAT should be a crime, especially if I’m making claims about the product that aren’t true. The name I use shouldn’t matter. And again, according to law, it doesn’t.

Yes, there are some gray areas, such as you can’t call yourself a doctor if you’re not an MD or at least a PhD. That is fraud and punishable by law. But if you want to call yourself “John Darling The Romantic Specialist” in an effort to sell custom Valentine cards, I say power to you.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim
