Article writing, or the mere act of writing in general, scares many people. In fact, in the world of email and text message "slang" OMG LOL, the art of writing has almost disappeared. However, the proof is apparent that the majority of the highest money makers in network marketing today are on the internet composing articles and practicing attraction marketing. Article writing is arguably the best way to promote yourself, your business, your product, or anything else on the internet. Here are a few of the reasons why you should be article writing to build your MLM business.
1. It's Free
You can publish articles in dozens of places online and get tons of free exposure for yourself and your network marketing business. Balance that to the cost of an online advertisement that could cost you hundreds of dollars and produce no results.
2. It's Forever
This could be one of the top aspects of article writing. Once your work is published online, it stays there forever! Your article can produce for you today, tomorrow, next week, and next year. In fact, the longer your article is on the net, the better it will perform. For an industry that teaches the wonders of residual income, what could be better than residual advertising. That's what you get with article writing.
3. You Can Aim at Specific Keywords and Niches
Perhaps you want to target a certain group of people or use specific keywords to help achieve decent rankings with the search engines. Articles are the best and easiest way to do this.
4. You Prove Yourself as an Expert
Are you nervous that you won't be able to recruit people into your MLM business because you are new and haven't had much success yet? You can just about eliminate that concern if you begin article writing. Get 4-5 articles published on just about any topic and you will prove yourself as an "expert" in the field to anyone who happens to read your material. It's practically instant credibility.
5. You Add Value
This is one of the most significant basics of attraction marketing. You provide an element of valuable information when you write articles. If it is done well, the reader appreciates the information and is then more apt to desire to learn more about your business, product, or service. Even if they don't end up joining your MLM opportunity or purchasing your product now, they will follow you when you publish other articles and become a fantastic prospect in the days to come.
6. You Brand Yourself
At some point, if you want to build a significant and lasting network marketing business (or any business for that matter), you need to establish yourself and build a name for yourself. This is frequently referred to as "branding". Think of it this way... If someone "Googles" your name, wouldn't it be great if they saw something other than a high school yearbook photo and a Facebook page? Writing articles gets you credibility on the world's largest stage- the internet. If you never do this, you will always have the risk of losing a prospect to a "bigger name". Brand yourself with article writing and grow to be a leader instead!
7. You Don't Really Have to Do the Work Yourself
I do not really advocate this, but I am smart enough to know that many of you are reading this thinking that there is no way you could possibly write an article. Usually, the frank truth is that you merely don't want to, not that you can't. In any case, there are plenty of ghostwriters out there that would gladly write articles for you for $25 or even less. One word of caution if you choose to go this route... make sure you are buying original articles with your targeted keywords and not a duplicate version of someone's previous work. You'll need to interview the ghostwriter ahead of time and ask to see some samples. If you are just totally dead set against writing, then it is better to hire a ghostwriter than to not write at all.
Article writing really is a must in today's internet world if you truly want your MLM business to take off and you don't want to spend a small fortune on advertising or purchasing recycled leads. It's not difficult if you set your mind to it and make a commitment to yourself, and when the leads start coming in, you'll be very glad you did!
