Are you using article marketing to grow your MLM home business and attract qualified interested MLM leads? If not, you are missing out on a valuable opportunity to become more successful than you ever dreamed possible.
Article marketing is one of the most effective strategies available for driving traffic to your website – targeted traffic that will bring you dozens of MLM leads.
The process of article marketing is quite simple. All you need to do is to write informative articles that relate to your business, and post them to article directories such as Ezine Articles, Go Articles, and Article Gold. They don’t need to be terribly long – 300 to 500 words are sufficient – so it is easy to build an article base rather quickly. They also don’t need to be overly structured or professional (although it is important to use correct spelling and proper grammar).
I know, I know, here comes a million-dollar question – I can’t write! Now what?
The fact that you can’t write is not a good reason to stop you from producing original content. The solution is outsourcing! There are plenty of writers out there that have all the qualifications needed to write great content for you and, moreover, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg! I recommend checking out Elance.com and GetaFreelancer.com (I prefer the latter).
How does article marketing help you grow your MLM home business?
Article directories allow you to write a short bio, called a resource box, which will be placed at the end of your articles. The resource box will contain links to your website. When people read your articles, if they have benefited from the information you have provided, they will click on your website links for more information. When they arrive on your site, they will already be interested in what you have to say, so they will be more likely to contact you about your MLM home business.
Here are some article tips as suggested by EzineArticles.com:
* Let each article stand alone and deliver your intended message. Your readers will love the simplicity of your delivery.
* “Hit the ground running” in your article body. Your 1st sentence and 1st paragraph should deliver immediate value to your reader.
* Most authors find it’s easier to write (1) 1000 word article than (2) 500 word articles; yet (2) 500 word articles always outperforms.
* Don’t let your article’s primary aim be to attract traffic. Let it be to help your reader improve or solve a problem.
* What’s the IDEAL word count? 400-800 words. Anytime you approach 1200 words or more, consider breaking the article in half.
* Your resource box should not be more than 15% of the article body length. Don’t oversell here. Let your expertise shine through the article.
* If content is King, RELEVANT content is Queen; ie. the power behind the throne. Writing articles about lawn care doesn’t sell puppy food.
You won’t just get targeted MLM leads from the article directories themselves though. Many website owners are constantly looking for fresh content to add to their sites, and they look to article directories to find this content. They can download your articles (including your resource box) and place them on their sites. This means that you are getting your opportunity in front of their readers. The more website owners download and post your articles, the wider your audience becomes – giving you the potential for ever-increasing traffic.
By consistently posting quality articles to directories, you can quickly grow your website traffic, your MLM leads – and your MLM home business.
