Some Advice For Effective Article Marketing

By Brad Selers

Whether you are an expert online marketer or novice to the game everyone can use a little help with effective article marketing. How do you market your online business? Do you write articles on different subjects? Maybe you have different areas of expertise. You can pay the rent with some of your topics and build your spirit with others.

Whatever you choose to do with the articles you write you can mix it up so you will avoid a writer brand depletion while at the same time create your expertise in your niche target area. How you might ask should you do this. Build several combinations of your pen name or given name and use them in place of that expertise area.

Let us take for example a name, you can change them around: Suzanne Jo Miller; Suzanne J. Miller; Suzanne J. M.; Suzanne Jo M.; Suzanne M.; Suzi M.; SJ Miller; S. Miller

You can see that each of these names is the same person. However you can put each name into a distinct topic in order to write articles. When someone reads your piece he or she might attempt to pull up other articles you have written under that name. But they will view only your other work that is similar to that topic. Thus you will not have an author brand erosion.

You can set it up like this: "Suzanne J. Miller" can create articles on tennis tips, and "Suzi Jo Miller" can write about antique hunting. In the hard copy article life, this multiple writer brands situation is often too an issue. But in the internet world it is more critical because men and women identify quickly more of your work when they want to read more. Give more of the similar quality to your original work they read already.

You will however center their attention by creating only articles on one topic of your work and only under one single writer name or combination of your name. This strengthens at the same time the message including your writer brand. Also, it will require a lot less energy to follow your efforts by each single variation or your name you have picked to employ verses having to look for all your work by your name and each topic.

The title to your article needs to deliver on your promise. Your title needs to build interest and motivation. Almost instantaneously your reader should be able to see the answer to your title when reading your piece. Refrain from requiring your reader from having to go to your website, where you will try to sell him something, to get to your article title's punch line. This does not help your credibility.

Your article tiles need to be descriptive. If it is too short, make the body of your work the needed socially acceptable solution or information that the average person expects when reading a short title. If however you can place a longer more descriptive title verses a short title to your piece. More effective article marketing advice: ask yourself does my article give the information I have promised in my title. If you can say yes they your article is a winner. - 33960

The Basics of Your Email Marketing Solutions

By Rudy Barell

You know that email marketing is effective, but if you are for a first time email marketer it can seem like a daunting task. This article will provide you with some basic ideas to use when starting off your emails. When you've gotten the hang of them, you'll begin to have success using email marketing solutions.

So many people send out holiday emails to keep in touch with clients or contacts. The reason for doing this makes sense: show them how much they matter to you and they will feel like a valued costumer and therefore be loyal to your organization. Before you send out your holiday email marketing program e-cards, keep in mind that the holiday season can be a tricky time to send emails.

Because so many people are sending messages at this time, your contacts will likely be inundated with email marketing program e-messages and best wishes emails. Also, during the holidays are when people go on vacation or take a break from their computers. Meaning, your email, will only be seen after the holidays, if it gets seen at all. It'll sit in a contact's inbox for a week or so along with EVERY other holiday email.

What would you do if you had an inbox that was over flowing with holiday cards? Most likely you'd pick out the important emails and delete the ones that don't appeal to you. Or, you might skim the email marketing program emails as quickly as possible, paying very little to no attention to the messages. You can imagine that your contacts are doing exactly the same thing.

This is easily cured. Send your email marketing program email early or a little later. Sending the email at the beginning of December or in the second week of January will get your email a more unique reading time. This will ensure that the email will get a response.

This leads nicely me to my next point.

A very important thing to remember about email marketing is that you need to make sure you know exactly HOW you want your contacts to respond to your email. Knowing this will make creating the email a heck of a lot easier (because you will have a concrete focus), make it more targeted to contacts that are interested and will elicit a better response from your contacts. Also, once they do act on your email you will have a measurable way to gather data on the success of your email.

When you have found the focus of the email, make sure that you place that desired response in the subject line of your email. Here's an example of a subject line that explains the focus of your email: "Click the link to receive a 30% discount on your next purchase."

With this subject line, you can measure two things: 1) if the contacts have clicked on the link in your email. The better email marketing program will provide you with detailed tracking that will record which contacts have clicked on the links in your email. This is GREAT information for preparing a more targeted email, because they have provided you with information on EXACTLY what they interested in. 2) If contacts actually purchase something at the discount price mentioned in your promotion, you'll know that your marketing campaign has worked. You can create a list of these individuals and target them as preferred customers. I don't have to tell you that customers that respond to your emails by purchasing something are the BEST kind of customers!

When you are getting ready to create your email marketing message, start with your subject line (only after you've determined what the focus of your email campaign will be). Make sure that in your subject line you indicate the focus of your email and you avoid using dollar signs and words typed in all capital letters.

Using dollar signs and capital letters in your email marketing subject line are meant to attract attention. They do attract attention....from the spam filters. Spam filters determine whether an email should be sent to people's in box or junk/spam folders. If your email lands in the junk folder it won't be read.

The same is true for exclamation points. If you want to suggest the urgency of your email, make sure you use words to do so, and not symbols.

Here's an example: "2 Days Left to get a 50 Percent Discount".

The message speaks for itself. No need for emphasis. If the customer is interested they will open your email.

When you get to sending out your message, it is always better to address the recipient in the email. This is done by adding a 'Hello Jill,' or 'Dear Jim'.

Your email marketing software can pull this data from the file you uploaded to you your database, provided that you've indicated a first name for the recipient in the file. This will give your recipient a more personalized feel and the contact won't necessarily feel that the email was sent in bulk, but was strictly meant for them.

To find your first bit of email marketing success, use these basic tips to start you off on the right foot. There is always more to learn about email marketing and the task may seem like a mountain to climb. These tips will give you the right foundation to start the process of email marketing advancement. - 33960

By Brad Selers

Effective article marketing is the best free advertising you can find on the net. Learning to market good content can be very rewarding when building traffic for your site. You can write them for free, and submit them for free. And you will have links back to whatever site you want. This is a really powerful and effective tool in advertising.

You will never run out of places to submit your articles. But to be effective, all the places available aren't necessarily what you want. Be shrewd in your choices of article placement. If you're new, and are trying to build some 'credibility', then try to place your articles on sites that already have it. This will help to catapult you to having your own. Be sure to always have good content with relevant and fresh information.

It seems like the whole world is blogging now. And with good reason. If you have a main site that you want to drive traffic to, then blogging is extremely effective in doing just that. You can start one for free, and you can post your articles there with links in them to your main site. And the search engines take to blogs like cats take to cream. A blog that gets updated daily can soon rise quickly in the search engines. But it does take a little time.

Good content is your gold mine in the traffic world. But it doesn't do any good until you learn to market it effectively. Forums are great places to submit your articles, as well as article directories that deal with your niche. Not only can you place a link withing the content, but in your bio box at the bottom as well. This gives you plenty of opportunities for people visiting your site.

With effective article marketing, your site rankings can be boosted quickly. For the beginner, don't get frustrated and give up because you don't see things happening as fast as you'd like. It does take some perseverance and determination, but it's not without it's rewards. You should always strive to keep new updated content on your main site and in your articles. Good fresh content is what the people are looking for.

Honesty and trustworthiness is what people are looking for. If you maintain a high standard in this regard, eventually it will pay off. It won't be overnight, but it'll be well worth the work. Try to have as good and as relevant information as possible. In your articles, don't give your readers the feeling of a 'pushy salesman', but tease them enough to make them want to hit your links and get more.

The articles on your main site should be focused on making the sale, while the articles you submit do the advertising. Your advertising should provide just enough to get your readers interested enough to visit your main site, which holds your sales pitch and the bulk of your product description.

Yes, effective article marketing can pay off big time if you take the time to learn where to place them, and how to write them. Even if you can't write, there are places where you can purchase articles along with the PLR rights, or 'private label rights', which means they are yours exclusively. This free method of marketing is very powerful when done correctly. So get out there and get started. You can build a powerful list with good effective article marketing. - 33960
