The surest way to sell products online today is to establish yourself as an expert on your chosen niche and win the trust of your potential clients. When people see that you are really good on what you do, they will be more confident to transact with you. One of the best ways to communicate your knowledge over the internet is through writing and distributing your articles to various publishing sites.

Here are the 5 creative methods to multiply your article marketing:

1. Be convincing. You must strive to make your readers feel that every information included in your articles is fact-based to build your credibility online. Back up your claims with resources, studies, statistics, or with reputable resources.

2. Titles. Give your articles an edge by using striking and attention-grabbing titles. These can help you stir the right kind of attention online and compel more people to open and read your content. Keep your titles short, direct to the point, keyword-rich, and descriptive of what your articles are all about.

3. First paragraph. You must know how to sustain the interest of your readers after they have opened your articles. You can do so by making your first paragraphs interesting, informative, and intriguing. Spill in the juiciest information on this part to convince your potential clients to read on.

4. Multiply the number of your articles. To easily increase your quality inbound links, you must be willing to write more articles. As you know, each submission grants you one backlink.

5. Hone your writing skill. The success of your article marketing campaign depends on the quality of your articles. If you want to make it big in this field, you should not stop learning and improving on your craft so you can offer your readers great articles each time you write.

Q: In my article marketing approach and working towards creating back-links to my site(s), does it matter in my resource box whether I type out the URL versus writing which would say "come visit" my site (with the come visit being the link?)

A:This is a good question, and in fact, it matters a lot.

Anchor text or absolute URLs?

Anchor text is when a word or a few words are clickable links. For example, you often see "click here" as a clickable link. In your example, "come visit" would be an underlined clickable link. The advantage to anchor text is that it looks good to the human eye and when you include key words in the anchor text, it looks good to the search engines.

The problem is we have found is that many of the people that use articles on web sites, blogs and newsletters are not savvy enough to use the html the right way so your anchor text winds up as a dead link. An absolute url is a url that begins with http: and ends with .com or the file name. In this way, the link becomes clickable whenever it is used.

If I am using all three available links in the resource box, two out of three of my links will be absolute urls and just one will be an anchor text link. If I am using just two links I would probably use two absolute urls just to be sure. You could have one of each though. And of course if I am just using one link that link will be an absolute url.

In this way you can be certain your link(s) will work for you in your article resource box. You can check out the example below to see what I mean.

From Jeff Herring - The Internet Article Guy & the Great Article Marketing Network

Article marketing is a very diverse world that many people often gain great success in. This success however does come with great effort. There is not one thing in Internet Marketing that does not take effort. Everything you earn will be the result of how much effort you put into it.

Today the subject I will be writing about will be about Article Marketing. Article Marketing is one of the best marketing tactics that a person can have. Article Marketing can be a valuable asset that could make you lots of money in the long run. Here are five tips that can improve your efforts...

1. Select A Good Niche

The Niche that you write about can make a big difference in how you operate your Article Marketing enterprise. First, select a niche that you can really write about without sounding like an idiot that does not know what they are writing about. If somebody reads something that sounds like the writer knows nothing about the topic, what would that look like? It would look like the writer is a liar and we don't want that.

2. Proofread Everything

If a reader sees that you have poor handwriting, why would they even see your website? Something small like handwriting can make a tremendous effect for the better good or bad. Always spell check everything that you place on a article distribution website. A potential customer could look at an error in your spelling and turn away from what you are offering without thinking twice.

3. Research Your Topic

Make an attempt in giving your reader time-saving information that they could use. This includes actually researching the topic you are writing about. If a reader receives valuable information you will be repaid for it by being called an expert. This title will create many new leads that pay for your advice. So when you make the effort, you will get something in return. This return could be anything from new leads to affiliate income.

4. Choose Your Article Distribution Service Carefully

The distribution service will determine how your articles are viewed by readers. If you have your articles on a highly respectable website, it will do better because the author put the article on a higher quality website instead of another website. If the reader finds the article on a lower site, that would look like the author does not pay attention to where they submit their articles to. So that is why I suggest that you never use article submitters because your articles might show up on junk sites. Google might also look at where you place your article and make a judgment that your site is good or bad.

5. Choose The Right Keywords

The entire world of Article Marketing revolves around what kind of keywords you use for your article. If you use the wrong type of keywords, your article could up in a place that is unrelated to your niche. This could be a problem if Google is searching for websites that are relevant to your website link. If you have a article that is related to health care and it ends up on a website that is dedicated to travel, Google will see that and will make the conclusion that the article is on a unrelated website. So it pays off when you choose the right kinds of keywords.

The title of your marketing article will decide it's success or failure -- plain and simple!

Here are two of my favorite ways to insure you create a killer title for your marketing article using your researched niche and keywords.

Another great tip is that you can use the same keyword 2 times in some cases and really grab the search engines attention but you have to be clever. Right now we are focused on our readers. These are just examples and no specific marketing keywords are used here.

Here are 2 vital tactics to provocative article marketing:

1. Ask a question in the title using your niche marketing keywords. For example:

Do You Make These 4 Stupid Mistakes When Asking Someone Out On A First Date? This May Be The Reason You're Sitting Home Every Weekend!

Are You Embarrassed To Smile? Try These "Secret" Home Whitening Remedies And Never Be Ashamed To Show Those "Pearly Whites" Again!

2. Offer "How To" advice using your bum marketing keywords. For example:

How To Win Back Your Old Flame's Affection In Three Easy Steps - Do This And You'll Quickly Mend Your Broken Heart!

How To Effortlessly Sweep Your Spouse Off Her Feet -- Wine Her And Dine Her -- And Make Her Wonder Who The Great Imposter Is -- All For Less Than $15.

Make sure you spend at least 50% of your efforts on the "TITLE" of your marketing article! This is extremely important. If your title isn't full of benefits for it's readers, chances are the article won't even get read... so spend a lot of time on it...

One of the most important aspect of any business is advertising the product or service. The credit for the success, or the blame for the failure of almost all sales copy, article or ad, reverts right back to the original source. The opening headline.

Everybody would like to advance in article marketing because it is currently the best free source of internet traffic. If you are one of them, these 7 first methods can greatly help you get ahead of the pack and create your name online:

1. Focus on the quality of your content. This is what will ultimately count the most in your article marketing campaign. If your articles offer great content that are useful to your target niche, they will surely be republished and distributed by numerous publishers and online users.

2. Optimize your articles. This simply means using relevant keywords that are usually searched for by your potential clients.

3. Make use of catchy titles. Let your titles speak for the content and quality of your articles by making them well-written and direct to the point. Online users have this notion that if an article have compelling titles, it follows that the article is equally interesting and attention-grabbing. That is why they open the articles based on titles alone.

4. Stick to your topic. Never discuss two or more unrelated topics on your articles so you can avoid confusing your readers.

5. Spice up your articles. Insert humor, personal stories, and trivia so your readers will not be bore in reading and digesting all the information included in your articles.

6. Make sure that your articles adhere to publishing sites' guidelines. This is to make sure that your articles will not be rejected and to save you time from revising your articles later on.

7. Inform first before you advertise. This is the basic idea of article marketing. Before you pitch in your products, you must first ensure that you educate your readers with topics that greatly concern them. This allows you to prove to your potential clients that you can be trusted and that you know what you are doing. When they see that you are a figure of authority on your chosen field, they will surely trust you and take any advice from you.

Creating a massive web presence with article marketing is really not that difficult. It's quite do-able if you are willing to invest the time and energy.

Once one of your articles goes viral you have begun to build a web presence with that one article.

How to create a massive web presence

Here are some simple steps to take to create a massive web presence with your articles.

Step 1 - Write a great quality article on a topic in your niche.

Step 2 - Submit it first to EzineArticles, the largest article directory with the most traffic.

Step 3 - Submit your article to other top ranked article directories.

Step 4 - Submit your article to niche article directories. You can find these by typing in your keywords into Google or Yahoo followed by the phrase "article directory."

Step 5 - Submit your article to your own article directory in your niche.

Step 6 - Do this over and over again.

Benefits of a massive web presence

Let's say we've got Speaker 1 and Speaker 2, and the meeting planner is trying to decide which one of these speakers to hire. They're equal in skill, they're equal in topic, and they're reasonably equal in fee.

The meeting planner does a little internet search and they find a couple of hits for Speaker 1. But Speaker 2, they do a Google search for their name and find dozens and dozens and dozens and perhaps hundreds of hits because of all the articles they've written.

Which speaker is the meeting planner going to hire?

And you can build the same kind of massive web presence with your articles.

From Jeff Herring - The Internet Article Guy & the Great Article Marketing Network

This is a new article in my ongoing series of internet marketing coach articles. In this article I would like to discuss the importance of finding a mentor if you feel confused, frustrated,and without direction in your new online or internet marketing business.

Why is it important to find a mentor or internet marketing coach while you are operating your new online business or internet marketing opportunity? The answer to this question is plain and simple. Sometimes you cannot run your new online business or internet marketing opportunity alone. If you are new in internet marketing or just started a new online business, it will be very difficult for you to succeed without support. Many times individuals in a new online or internet marketing business get assigned a sponsor who refuses to take calls. I had this happen to me when I started my new online business, and it was the absolute worst feeling in the world. I also had a sponsor give me horrible advice and he had me join another program (useless) where he made commissions on me. At that time I certainly could have used a good internet marketing coach or mentor!

An internet marketing coach or mentor can also help you to set goals for yourself when you are feeling lazy, unmotivated, or discouraged. The support is important, and it is very similar when somebody hires a fitness coach or trainer. We may be more apt to set short and long term goals and complete our tasks when we have an internet marketing coach on our side who is prompting us and guiding us in our success.

I advise you to hire a mentor or internet marketing coach if you are floundering in your new online business or just not getting the results that you desire or expect. Sometimes just one or two sessions will help to set you on the right track. You can also read internet marketing coach articles and tips as well, if you do not have the money to hire someone to work with you directly.

Good luck with all of your new online or work from home endeavors! I wish you all of the success in the world!

An article is not just a solid slab of text. It has a structure. The structure helps the reader understand the message of the author and also makes it easier for the author to write the article.

Here are a few classic structures that are commonly used by article authors

1. A Check list or Tip Sheet

A check list is one of the commonest styles or structures used by writers. Typical titles are "7 Ways to Get Started with Article Writing" and "Latest 6 Amazing and Powerful Steps to Explode Your Article Writing". So you could have "10 Ways To Make your Hamster Happy" or "3 Powerful Tips to Tone Up your Abs".

2. Reviews of Products and Services

If you know you niche well you'll be aware that new products and updated products are coming out weekly if not daily. It is a simple matter to describe and discuss the latest camera, car, ebook or whatever.

This kind of article is the one most likely to earn money fast; especially if you do the review soon after the product is released. If you put your article on a popular article directory and use a link that obeys the rules of the site, readers may click through and buy the product. Not all article sites allow affiliate links so it's down to you to check. If they do not you can direct your readers to a free report you have written which is simply a longer review in pdf and put your affiliate links in that!

If you target the right products and model numbers you can make a significant income. Fast moving expensive products are most suitable for this treatment-software is a good example.

In my free report "7 Secrets Every Newbie Needs To Know" I have warned my readers about the prevalence of bogus review sites on the Net. The formula is to feature a product and simply rave enthusiastically about it and then leave a few affiliate links handy!

A slight refinement of the outright hype or rave review is to give a very good "review" and mention a small flaw in the product. Sometimes the "reviewer" will offer a guide or ebook to overcome this flaw. If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck...a bogus review is still a bogus review.

Bogus review sites are good for your overall business because you will quickly build a reputation for honesty by doing genuine reviews and caring for your subscribers and that builds a following

If you are writing a genuine review you must constructively criticise the product! This is easy if you know your niche. An editorial tone is suitable for a review and works better than outright endorsement.

3. Here Is The News!

Can you profit from a news item? The simplest way is in your blog. Every day news channels are delivering vast amounts of information and some of it can be blogged! You can easily include an affiliate link to a product that is relevant

4. Comparison shopping

The benefits of one form of investing over another; the Nikon PQR or the Canon XYZ? To holiday in Tuscany or Tuscaloosa? Time release Vitamins or normal. "To be or not to be...?"

5. Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs are surprisingly popular and very easy to write and assemble as an article. "FAQ When Buying a New Computer".

6. Tell People What's Good

Benefits are a motivating and pleasant way to write. Just feel happy about something and write about it. Sadly this could be interpreted as "hype", so run a cool editorial eye over the article a day or two after writing it and before you publish it.

7. How To ...

How to write articles, How to make Yummy Apple Pies. No end to it really!

8. Autobiography

Not your whole life! As an example I will refer you to the home page of www.allergyactiononline.com just read the paragraph, "One morning I was excited..." That is a real extract from my childhood. There are many ways you can illustrate a point with a short personal story. People like stories. Change that to "well told stories".

9. Break out your calendar!

In Spring I can write about allergies; at midsummer about heatstroke; autumn about-Halloween, Thanksgiving....Xmas, New Year....OK?

10. What is..?

Asking questions hooks the reader. Ask a question you can discuss in your article. What is the best question to ask?

11. The Downside

I did not want to talk about negative things but this is a legitimate structure for an article. "Things to look out for when buying a new computer" or "Avoid these hazards and have a happy camping holiday". The old newspaper maxim is, "If it bleeds, it leads"

A knowledge of the classic structures of articles is essential for the new article writer. Knowing these structures can help to bridge the gap between having the idea of writing and actually doing it.

Many writers struggle with "writer's block" and having a structure to begin to put your ideas in is a way to overcome it.

Some structures, like a review for a new product, suggest themselves but it can help to trigger ideas to run through these article styles when starting to write your article. It may be that an article will best be suited to a mixture of the structures listed above.

The crucial test is whether it reads well. Reading your article aloud is the best way to see where the problems are and how to fix them.

Taking extra pains at the time of choosing the right structure for your article produces an article that scans well and produces a happy reader.

And that is what it's all about!
