Articles

Over the weekend I submitted my article (Unlimited Advertising) to 8 different article directories. Here's a list of them so you know where you can submit your articles:

• Idea Marketers
• Go Articles
• Search Warp
• Article Alley
• Article City
• Article World
• Content Desk
• Super Publisher

Writing and submitting articles is a great way to get noticed. The people who search the article directories are looking for content to use on their websites or newsletters, etc - your articles could get put on some popular pages throughout the net.

The one thing you have to make sure you have with every one of your articles is a paragraph about yourself and what you're offering in the "About the Author" or "Author Bio" or whatever it may be. And in that paragraph, you include a link or two to your lead capture page and/or blog (that's what I did!).

Your articles (providing they're written well) will brand you as a leader/expert in your field and give readers somewhere to go to find out more about you and what you're offering. That's the whole point of this strategy.

Now, you might be thinking that you can't write articles for whatever reason (though I think you still could), lucky for you, there is a whole heap of other people out there who will do it for you. Just hire a ghost writer to do a couple of articles for you, and once they've been paid, you own exclusive rights to what they've written - which means you can edit them if you like and even put your name as the author! Check out Elance for ghost writers.

Of course it takes time to build a good amount of articles that bring in significant traffic, but hey it's free and you might even find that it's fun (like I have).

Ok, that's it for the moment, have a great day!
