Article Marketing 101

Okay, I hit on a great idea that has to do with my key strategy of becoming the Obvious Expert. ARTICLE MARKETING!!! Yes, these days with the internet the pen is definitely mightier than the sword.



So what is Article Marketing, you may be asking?


Well, article marketing is writing articles and posting them for free at article websites. I already found over 25 sites. As a dug deeper into the article marketing world, I found many distinct benefits of providing your well-written articles.

It’s free
First, you gain the notoriety and prestige that comes with being a published writer. At the same time, you will propel your Obvious Expert status. All this for the best price... FREE!!!

Links to your website
Second, the articles provide the ability to backlink to your website. This will increase your traffic and hopefully your leads. Backlinks also help increase your search rankings on search engines like Yahoo and Goggle.

Some sites pay you
What?! That’s right. You heard it here. You can get paid for your articles too. Some sites pay you upfront, others split Adsense money with you, and finally, some put you’re articles up for sale.

Viral Articles
Once you submit your articles, these websites submit your articles to other websites for use (still giving you the credit). This means that people have a better chance to see your writing and visit your website.


I spent most of this week signing up for these websites and I finished posting my first two articles today. I am really looking forward to seeing the results of my efforts. I’ll keep you posted.

Over the next week, I will go into more details about each site and provide an extensive list of links.
