If you’re new to using article marketing to promote your business and products, you may be disappointed at the results. While this form of promotion is effective, it needs to be part of an overall plan. Let’s look at five ways you can succeed.

1. Make Article Marketing Part of the Plan for Your Business

Your promotions must be part of an overall plan for your business. The more completely you can integrate the process into your plans, the great your results. You’ll know what you’re measuring.

For example, perhaps you want to increase sales by ten per cent for this quarter. Work out how you can use article marketing to help you to achieve that, and then create article campaigns.

2. Create Campaigns: Measure to Get the Results You Want

Always think in terms of measurable results. Let’s say you’re launching a new product. Create an article marketing campaign. This means: create landing pages with tracking code, so you can see which articles are sending you traffic, and where that traffic is coming from. You should also decide when the campaign will begin and end, and how many articles you’ll create.

3. Become Proficient at Keyword Research

Keywords are important, because they help your articles to get found. Therefore, invest a little time in keyword research, and learn how to use them effectively.

4. Understand Your Market, and What It Wants

Although keyword research is important, it’s not all-important. The information you provide in your articles is key to your success.

You need to understand what your market wants. What kind of information are they looking for? Will the information you provide in your articles lead to conversion — that is, will it help you to make sales?

5. Promote Your Articles, Online and Offline

It may come as a surprise to you to realize that while articles are a form of promotion, you also need to promote those articles to your prospects.

There are many ways in which you can do this. Consider Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, social media marketing, or banner advertising.

You more traffic you get to your articles, the more sales you will make.

What if you had 1000 websites, each making $3 a day?

Yes, that would be $3000 a day, which is over ONE MILLION dollars a year. That would take care of the mortgage, wouldn’t it? If you think this is just a dream, explore the Mini Site Formula. You could be well on the way to your 1000 sites within a day or two.

“As article writers and marketers, we need realize that our sandbox is about to change forever and it’s going to get a whole lot busier.

It’s predicted that social media marketing will be the big thing for many companies in 2010. They’re jumping on this particular bandwagon because they know they’ll make sales. But can affiliate marketers make sales on these sites?

The major challenge with making sales on popular sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube is that the traffic is focused on entertainment. People don’t visit the sites to buy, they visit to enjoy time with their friends. However you can certainly make sales if you approach the process in the right way.

Here are three ways to sell:

1. Integrate Twitter and Facebook With Your Website or Blog: It Increases Stickiness

Popular, fun sites can help to build traffic to your blog. Once readers reach your blog, your aim is to get them to read as much of your content as possible. Although they may not buy on their first visit, they’re becoming familiar with you, and they may buy on a subsequent visit.

There are many ways to integrate Twitter and other sites with your blog. Most major blogging platforms offer plug-ins and widgets to display your latest postings on your blog.

2. Build Relationships and Sell

One of the benefits of the social media sites is that they help you to build relationships with prospective buyers. You become a real person, and buyers prefer to buy from people they know.

Ensure that most comments you make are simple friendly interactions, rather than pitches — however don’t stray completely off-topic. You’ll need to stay on topic to increase your targeted traffic. Remember that by and large, this traffic is of low value. So you’ll need many more visitors to achieve conversions.

3. Listen to the Conversation: Can Your Affiliate Products Solve Problems?

Use the search tools which are available on the sites you’ve chosen. Set up alerts for keywords related to your affiliate products. Then just listen to the conversation, and respond as appropriate.

When you’re responding, ensure that you avoid direct selling. Forward people to a helpful blog post you’ve written, or offer your own insights. Sales happen on your affiliate products’ sales pages; you’re offering fun, as well as information.
