Driving generic traffic to your website (like traffic from high rankings on search engines, social networking traffic, etc.) takes time and effort, and in some instances it will cost money.
However, there are other types of promotions that are completely free, faster and will keep working for years to come.
For example, article marketing. In this post, I want to talk about article marketing. There are all kinds of articles and “how-to”s that have been written about article marketing, but the true key is consistency.
Article writing still remains the main promotional tool with the most longevity. I would like to introduce you to a brand new article directory that we launched about a month ago, called ArticleHitList.com.
ArticleHitList is promoted aggressively to newsletter publishers and to the search engines. That’s why over 3000 authors have decided to post their articles on this platform!
Some benefits for authors
1. Free exposure for your business. It’s a great way to brand your company!
2. You can specify your article to be reprinted as long as the resource box is retained. If you have a link to your website in your resource box, this is a perfect method of free advertising.
3. Article marketing is evergreen—that means that the information and website link in the content of your article will remain on the internet indefinitely!
Or, if you churn out a few articles per week, there are excellent benefits to adding your articles to your own online newsletter:
1. Your prospects will associate your business with support and personal assistance, and especially appreciate the fact that you provide a free publication that features tips or how-to articles without expecting them to purchase anything.
2. Even if you have an online newsletter, you should still submit the articles to article websites. They will increase your exposure, and you can include a trackback link. This way, if the reader likes your articles, they can subscribe to your online newsletter.
3. You can always reprint other author’s articles on your ezine if you don’t have enough content. (Be sure to follow the specified reprint guidelines!)
Whether you want to create your own content, or simply reprint informative articles by experts on your own online newsletter, ArticleHitList can be instrumental in providing you free exposure for your business, or content worth it’s weight in gold.
