Article Marketing Basics

1 - Need a title - Has to grab attention!!

2 - High Quality - if it is not good - no one will read it and no one will click on your link
- not PLR!! - at least not to article directories
- people will recognize that it is PLR, or that it sucks, and will never read you again.

QUALITY over Quantity

with article marketing - you can market anything - your products, affiliate, mlm, etc.

If you don't have your own domain - and want to market affiliate programs - get a domain and forward to the affiliate link. That way people will not be put-off by the affiliate link.

One of the biggest things is branding - so buy your own name - and use it for your affiliate links.

Also, think of promoting your own service, your advice, and of course your brand (your personal or company name, whichever you want to promote)

Use your resource box to add good 'copy' - a short couple points or lines that grab the reader to make them click to your link. And then point to your website.

Keywords are important - make sure in the title, in the article - try for around 3% - but don't let it affect the copy. The article still has to be good quality and a good read.

Blogs work great with article marketing.
Easy to set up!

Use RSS feeds for content, and use RSS feeds for your own content.
