Article Marketing Tips: 3 Steps to Start Right and Thrive

I read on the forum that people often asked where to submit their articles to get the best results and other details, as if the success or failure of the entire strategy depended solely on that. In this article, I’m going to reveal 5 steps you can take to ensure you get the most out of article marketing.

1.Research

As with any marketing strategy, you shouldn’t try to jump in headfirst unless you already know the depth of the water. Get to know the strategy well, learn how it works and the underlying principles and the reasons why it works that way.

2. Strategize

It’s not even a word but at least it sounds good. Strategizing refers to planning and creating a strategy for marketing your article. Article marketing as a marketing channel works. You can learn about the details later.

What’s more important is making it work for your business the way you want it to. For example, you may want to use articles to drive traffic and build your list. Getting the entire process right up front, at least on paper, is critical to the entire strategy.

Write out the plan, with as much detail as you like, that you will use as a roadmap to reach your marketing objective.

3. Take action

With a plan on paper, you are now ready to run or walk to the finish line. Instead of walking in all random directions, you can focus on one destination. This saves you a lot of time and frustration thinking about where to channel your article marketing effort at any given time.

Many people do this incorrectly. Instead of a handful of targets, they try to drive traffic to a bunch of different pages on their site(s), which have little or no relevance to their target.

Focusing on one or two goals at the same time can really speed up the result you can get with article marketing.
