How Does Article Marketing Work

The fact that Article Marketing works has been established – time and again – by a large number of Internet Marketers in wide varity of niches. However, those who have not ever attempted article marketing tend to think that it is harder or more time consuming than it actually is.

It starts with writing the article. This can be done by the business owner, or by a ghost writer. The typical cost of a ghost written articles, between 300 and 500 words in length is usually less than $10.00. It is important that the article is informative and related to your niche. The article should not be a sales letter at all.

At the end of the article, you include your ‘resource box.’ A resource box is simply information about the author, and it usually includes a link to the authors related website, a link to subscribe to a newsletter, and possibly even an email address to contact the author. If your article is ghost written, you are still the author.

Below the resource box, you type a statement giving others the right to reprint the aritcle for free, as long as the article is not changed, and your resource box remains intact. This gives others permission to make your article viral for you.

Once the article is ready, you should distribute it to as many article directories as you can find, and also send the article for consideration to E-zine publishers within your niche. You can find lists of E-zines in the various E-zine directories that are available on the Internet.

There is a software that can be used to submit your article in a shorter amount of time. One example of software is Instant Article Submitter at www.instantarticlesubmitter.com . There are also services who will submit your article manually for you, which is highly recommended since many article directories do not allow and will not accept articles submitted with software.

Overall, you will find that submitting the articles yourself is a time consuming task. If you can hire someone else to do that work, you will have more time to concentrate your efforts on producing more viral articles, or on other marketing tasks.
