The Top 3 Benefits of Article Marketing
Do you have a website? Many people take tremendous pride in their websites, as well they should. Whether your website is designed to make a profit or simply to connect with like minded people around the world, it is important to make people aware of it.
Article marketing is one of the best tools to increase exposure for your website or blog. The following are three amazing benefits to article marketing.
#1 Credibility. Whether your website is designed to sell a product or service or if your website or blog is designed to focus on a particular topic, credibility in the topic is important.
The fastest wand easiest way to establish credibility on a subject matter is to publish. Publishing books isn't an overnight process and the path to book publication can be labor intensive however article publication is significantly easier.
Online article publication is perhaps the easiest path to publication and it can generate tremendous credibility. When you publish your articles online, you're broadcasting your authority on your subject matter.
Say, for example, that you have a website dedicated to the raising of tropical fish. Your website has tons of information on the subject. When you publish that information in the form of articles online you're not only sharing your information, you're building a reputation as a valuable resource and expert on the subject.
#2 Drive Traffic to your website or blog. Articles that are made available on free websites are an amazing way to drive traffic to your website. Posted articles are read by visitors, who then click through via your signature link to your website for more information.
The articles are posted on blogs, which leads to increased website traffic. The articles are also reprinted in newsletters and on other websites, which also provides traffic. It also provides links to your site, which in turn can increase your website ranking with the search engines.
The number of visitors to your website will increase, your lead list will grow, your customer list will multiply, and your bottom line will swell. It's a win-win situation and all it takes is a little time and effort.
#3 Article marketing increases exposure. If one article you publish is distributed to 35 different blogs, newsletters, and websites which are then read by 100 people each, you've now reached 3500 new people and made them aware of your business or personal website.
Now imagine you publish 2 articles with the same distribution and readership statistics. Now you have 7000 people who are now aware of your website. 3 articles and 2100, 4 articles and 2800 the numbers will continue to grow and so too will your exposure.
In advertising there is a rule of thumb, that it takes at least 3 exposures to a company name before it is embedded in their memory. The more you publish, the more your opportunity to become a memorable name and the person they turn to when they need your product, service, or information.
