80% of article marketers fail. They write a few articles, only to see a trickle of visitors, and then give up. But here are three simple article marketing tips, which can double the number of visitors to your website. All you have to do is follow them.
1) Research your keywords
Keyword research is no doubt one of the fundamentals to article marketing. In order to bring traffic to your website, your articles must be found by targeted visitors within the search engines. If you do your keyword research well, you can tell which keywords are worth optimizing and writing articles for. Otherwise, your articles might get left-behind by the readers and search engines.
2) Write quality articles
In article marketing, quality is a must. You cannot expect a poorly written piece of content to bring you much success. Spend an hour or so writing good, informative content, and success will be closer than you think. If you are not a natural writer, why don't you outsource? This can save you time, money and frustration.
3) Promote your articles
If no one knows about your article, then there is no chance of it bringing any traffic. Treat it as part of your own website. Do what you normally do to build links and popularity to your articles. I would recommend bookmarking it on social bookmarking sites; send the RSS feeds to directories; putting the links in a few blog comments. This will cause your articles to soar above the competition and stay on the front page.
4) Write an amazing headline
A good headline is 80% of the battle. If the reader never opens your article, there's no chance they will visit your website. Therefore, your headline should be intriguing. You don't need to be a world-class copy writer, but next time, give the headline some thought before you submit.
5) Never give up
Most people fail at this, they often give up after a few articles. Make sure you are consistent. Continue to write and submit your articles every week, and the traffic will start to grow!
