Posted by on 13th Dec 2008 Writing 6 comments

If you are starting with article marketing, you will find this post to be useful. I always offer these three tips to anyone who asks me about article marketing. These are also the three things that I check before I submit any article to article directories.

Before reading these three tips, you might want to learn about article marketing and how it will help you gain top ranks in search engines. If you have already started article marketing, you might be interested in learning how to write articles in less than 12 minutes.

Now let me take you to the top three tips on article marketing that I always offer to newbie article marketers.

1. Attractive Headline With Primary Keyword
The first and foremost step in writing an article, is crafting the headline. The more attractive your headline is, the better results you will get. Say you type the keyword “learn copywriting” in search and you get the following results:

# Learn Copywriting
# Learn Copywriting In 4 Hours And Write Your First Best Selling Sales Copy

Which one would you click? If you are like me, you would select the second option. The second result is much precise. It tells me what I will learn, how much time it will take and what kind of result I will get. To get maximum visits to your article, you article should have an extraordinary headline.

Here are some resources that teach you how to write best headlines:

2. Never Write Long Paragraphs
When you are writing articles for article marketing, you should never write long paragraphs. Keep it short and simple. Write to the point. Don’t move away from your core content. When you are talking about losing weight, write things that are related to it. Don’t write about how you make money online. Most people don’t like to read long paragraphs.

3. Tempting Author Bio
You have an option for letting the readers know more about you in the article. This is called the author bio. You can use it for any purpose though. You can tell about yourself, about the product you have or provide any other useful resource. But to get the best results, you need to tell something related to the article. When you write your author bio, think for a minute. Will you click the link in the author bio if you are a search engine referral? If your answer to the question is ‘yes’, go ahead with the author bio. If you said ‘no’, it’s time for a change.

    Awesome points. I always be sure to include a short, but descriptive title in all of my blog posts. I have been doing my best to keep paragraphs short on my blog as well by breaking them up with headings, lists and images.

    Thanks for the article marketing tips. I will definitely use them. I have not been doing article marketing as of lately but I'm thinking about starting again.

    Great points: an eye catching headline to grab attention, short and to-the-point content, and helfpul additional information in the resource box. Sounds like a good formula for a quick, informative read. Thanks for breaking it down for us!

    You wouldn't believe how many I've seen where the author has forgotten the bio altogether; unreal. Great article here. :)
