Article Directory :: Internet Marketing/Online Business Articles
Article marketing is one of the many ways you can promote your website, especially when you are just starting online. Maybe you are a seasoned writer or on the contrary you have never written a single article and you are wondering how articles could actually help your business.In fact, if you think about it, there are already millions of articles out there; so why would you spend time writing and submitting articles, and what would be the benefits you would get from this marketing strategy?
Let's start with a few reasons why your business could benefit from consistent article marketing campaigns. Article marketing can actually highly benefit you and this is especially true if you are a small business owner online or even offline. You want to drive traffic to your website with a promotion method that is easy to understand and not too complicated to set up. You do not have a huge budget and you are looking for an affordable marketing strategy. You want to promote your business without having to spend the whole day on it, and be able to keep focusing on your core business tasks.
This is where article marketing can have a big role, as it can help you increase your traffic and build relationships within your market. You can gain a lot of exposure for your business.
Let's take an example and see how articles can really bring you more visitors to your website. Let's say that each article gets an average of 70 views per month from one good high traffic article directory. 70 views per month is a reasonable number and you might get more or less views.During 6 months, the article will get 420 views per directory. If you submit the article to just 10 top article directories, it will get 4,200 views within 6 months.If you consistently submit 2 articles per week, or 8 per month, to 10 article directories, each month you will submit articles that will be viewed a total of 33,600 times over the next 6 months. And after 6 months of consistent submissions, these are 200,000 views.
Let's say for this example that an average of 10% of the readers of your articles will visit your website. This would mean a total of 20,000 visitors. If you have a good sales funnel on your site and your conversions are good, how much would that add to your bottom line? With these rough estimations you can see that while submitting a couple of articles will not get you anywhere there is a lot of potential with article marketing if you are consistent. Most people out there who are saying that article marketing is dead or does not work are usually people who just gave it a try and quit after submitting just a few articles. If you want to reap off the rewards of your efforts and produce a very good impact on your business, you just need to be persistent.
If you want to have success with article marketing and exposure for your business, submit one or two articles each and every week, during at least 3 months. Do not look at your results, keep going. And make sure you use a good article submission service that will distribute your content to a large network of quality websites. Apart from getting a lot more exposure than by submitting articles yourself manually or with software, it will free up time for you to work on your core business areas. Being consistent and persistent with article marketing is the key to success and having this mindset will highly benefit your business in the end.
