subject: Article Marketing Tips - 3 Ways To Get Seen By The Public [print this page] Ok, so you are getting started in your online maketing career. If you're anything like me, you see the power of article marketing. It's consistent traffic once you get things rolling, and the best part is it's free. A career in writing on the internet can make you think your are INSANE for thinking that little ol' you will be able to be seen. I know that it felt that way for me.
Good news. Even if you are just getting started, you CAN get yourself infront of a lot of people.
There are 3 areas of interest that you should be writing about, and that is really about it.
I will talk about those 3 areas, but I want to say one thing first.
HAVE FUN!
No body wants to listen to a complainer. Creative complaining can have it's place if you have a good sense of humor, but in general you want to stay positive.
As with most, there are a few certain people in my life that I avoid at all costs. Not because I hate them, but because I know that the dark cloud of gloom and doom comes with them. You know the about these kinds of people. You see tham coming towards you, and know that if they see you, you are going to be brought down in a hurry. Everything is miserable in their life and the want to share the wealth with you.
This "guy" would head my way, and the only thing going through my mind is, "Where is my Magic Smoke Bomb?" If only I were a ninja so I could disappear without a trace!
No one wants to be seen like this. When someone see's your face, you want them to be thrilled to see you. It's easy to do. All it takes is to be genuinely interested in what other people have to say. Then, put in the conscious effort to take things lightly, see the humor in things, and help others around you to do the same.
Let's get back to the subjects that we are after here.
First, you MUST understand you target market. Who is that? Thousands of Home Based Businesses are starting up in the U.S. alone, every single year! On top of that, Every Week 175,000 people are joining the online world for the first time. I am sure that you are familiar with the doom and gloom percentage of success of people who start a business from home right? 95 to 97%.
That means that there are thousand upon thousands of people that are looking for answers to similar questions, such as..
"Is there a Company out there that is right for me?"
"How can I make the Company, I am already in, make a profit for me?"
"Do I have to be satisfied with the retirement from my job?"
Personally I know that there are 3 general areas of interest for EVERYONE in this situation. You'll know I'm telling the truth, because you will be able to see this in yourself.
1. Companies that are NEW
2. Successful Leaders that have helped others make money.
3. Tools that shortcut the time it takes to make money.
There are new start-up companies every single week. There are tons of people that would love to find a company that will finally show them how to make money from home. (Even though we know that the company is NOT what makes the biggest difference.) I get a lot of good info from Npros.com to find out about the new companies that are getting attention. It is a valuable resource. If you can get your hands on a new company that is getting a lot of attention, you are guaranteed a lot of traffic.
About those leaders. When ever we hear about someone who has "Cracked the Code", or "Found the Secret" to making a huge income from home, we want to know more! The quickest way to learn something is from the one who is doing it right!
Tools are always a great topic, because they show us that there are easier ways to do things that take a long time. I personally have some select tools that I use all the time and they give me WONDERFUL results. Would you like to know what I use? Of course, and that is what my point is. You will find that this is the case with most people. If you can give people the tools and training they are looking for, and you WILL get attention.
