I sat down the other day to list the many benefits of article marketing. It was quite a long list. Here are just 7 of the many benefits of article writing and article marketing.
1) Expert Status – If you only use a website or blog, it can take a long time to establish your internet expert status. When you write and publish your articles in article directories, you will not only be found in the directories, you will be found on all the websites, blogs and newsletters that collect and use your article. The more you are seen on the Internet in your niche, the more you will be seen as the expert.
2) Content creation – One of the biggest challenges on the Internet is creating content. When you write articles regularly, you are creating content every time you write. And if you write daily, you are creating content every day.
3) Make yourself known on the net – How do you distinguish yourself from all the other online entrepreneurs in your niche? When you cover your niche with your articles, your ideal clients find you more often and your online reputation grows.
4) Simplify the Internet – You need 5 things to be successful on the Internet: content creation, traffic generation, list building, marketing messages, and product creation. Article Marketing provides the 5 faster, easier, and with less overall human effort than anything you know of.
5) Traffic generation – Don’t chase traffic. Find out where he is going and stand in front of him. To do this, write and then submit articles to EzineArticles.com, the number one article directory.
6) Share your knowledge – When you write high-quality articles, you can share your knowledge on the world stage. Remember that “www” means world Web.
7) Build a list – Building lists with articles gives you some of the most qualified prospects possible. Just think about it: someone spent 3-5 minutes reading your article and then raised their hand to say “I want more information and I want it from you!”
