One of the best ways to promote your site, get targeted traffic, boost your sales, and all for free is through marketing with articles. It's one of the easiest ways to promote your website so that you can get more traffic which will in turn, lead to increased earnings.
So how does it work exactly?
It's very simple really.
You write an article and submit that article to free online article directories. It's easy to do, doesn't take all that long, and can increase the amount of traffic to your website.
You might wonder how this can happen if you're giving something away for free to another website that you don't own.
That's where your articles bio comes in. Your bio is a short snippet of information about you, what you do, and how people can get more information from you which would be a link to your own website. This bio is included in a short paragraph at the bottom of every article you write.
The folks reading your articles may choose to click on your link and pay your site a visit.
Because you've listed your article in a free article directory, this makes your article available to other website owners who may decide to publish your article on their own sites. It's a win-win situation. Other site owners get free content and you get more exposure because the link to your website will be included.
As the amount of articles you write grows larger, and more of your articles start to appear on other people's websites, the total amount of links that are coming to your website will also increase. This is especially important to search engines like Google. The more often your website link is found on other websites, the more important you will start to appear to the search engines and the likelihood that your website will end up in a favorable position within those search engines will also increase.
Additionally, if those site visitors like what you have to offer, they may choose to subscribe to your newsletter list which means that you can follow up with them at a later time either to provide more information to them or to recommend a product or service.
It only takes a few minutes out of your day to write an article or two but the advantages to doing this far outweigh the time you spend writing the article in the first place.
