The resource box is where you will give them a link to come back to your website or blog to get more information. Make them a compelling offer for more tips or a special report and they will have motivation to find out more about you and what you do.

Writing and Marketing Articles To Boost Your Business

Tip #3 - Write and Market Articles For Your Business

I have been writing and marketing articles for about 7 months now and have noticed a huge increase in my business. I have written about 170 articles and submitted them to Ezine Articles as well as several other article directories. During this time over 37,000 people have read my articles and my business has exploded.

In the beginning I wasn't sure exactly how to write and submit articles that would help me with my marketing business, so I enlisted the help of Jeff Herring, also known as The Article Guy. Jeff has a f'ree weekly teleseminar to get you started writing articles that will bring people to your business, website, or blog, and make your telephone ring.

Think About What You Write

Before you write an article or post to your blog, take some time to think about what you will write. Plan out your delivery of information to prospective clients and other readers. If you just write about anything that is currently in your stream of consciousness the effect will be disjointed words and ideas that may as well have been written by a monkey.

If, on the other hand, you design a campaign that will inform, educate and otherwise enlighten your readers, they will come back for more and begin to see you as an authority in your field over a period of time. It is entirely up to you to decide which it will be.

Article Writing And Marketing - Using Articles to Promote Your Business

I have been writing articles for almost a year now and it still amazes me when someone halfway around the world finds me through something I wrote months ago.

Using article writing and marketing to promote your business and boost your SEO will get you more business than any other single activity. Writing articles takes some time, but if you do it regularly that time becomes less and less.

I learned everything I know about article writing and marketing from The Article Guy, Jeff Herring. He has been writing articles since 1994 and now makes his living predominantly from teaching others how to do the same for their own business. Jeff has written over 1000 articles for Ezine Articles, the largest article directory in the world.

I would encourage you to check out Jeff's free weekly teleseminars on article writing and marketing to see what it is all about. My clients start off by reluctantly writing blog posts, but soon see the benefit and extend those posts into articles, and finally, into ebooks.
