Avenues
to Promote Your Articles Online
Article writing is one of the most popular ways of promoting
people,
products and services today. This method has also been proven time and
again to be effective in drawing more visitors to websitesand
achieving increased sales.
Articles need to be interesting
and well written in order to get published and be read by a
wide audience.
They have to convey a clear message and be easily understood
to be
appreciated by web users.
To be successful
in promoting your products or services, articles do not need to be
limited to a specific website or blog. Writers can
publish
their articles in a
variety of ways on the internet. And the best part in promoting your
articles online is that it is absolutely f.ree.
Websites/Blogs
Having a website is the first step to getting your
articles read by other web users. If you link with
other websites
or blogs, you can ask the authors of those sites to publish your
articles and you can do
the same for their articles in return. This is ideal if
you have established reciprocal links. Also, when other
bloggers or
writers trust you as an expert and authority in your specific field,
they won't
hesitate to link to your articles any time they need to
share quality content on their own website.
Article Submission Directories
There are numerous article directories where you can submit your
articles for f.ree. All you need to do is to register on their site,
confirm
via an email notification and you're ready to get started submitting
articles.
Some sites take from a few
days to a few weeks to approve an article for publication due to the
large
volume they receive every day. Usually, you'll receive an email when
your article has been approved and goes online on their website.
Remember to
choose the right
category when submitting your articles to directories. This is
important so that your target audience will be able to easily find your
articles once they search in your particular category. Failure to
select the category correctly can result in non publication of
your articles.
Media Publications
The
media can be a big help when it comes to promoting your articles on the
internet. They are masters in information dissemination and
entertainment and it is a must for you as a writer to connect with
them.
You can submit your articles to online magazines, newspaper
publications
and websites of broadcasting companies. Find out first if they accept
contributions. Then, submit your article and monitor when it gets
published. If it is taking a while to appear
online, you
will need to follow them up with a call or email
to make sure that they received it.
Networking Sites
If you're a
member of networking sites in your area of expertise, most offer the
opportunity to publish articles on the site or on their blog. This is
usually f.ree of charge as long as you follow their article submission
guidelines.
The Savvy Web Women site is a great example of a site where
you can submit your articles. Members of the
Savvy Web Secrets mentoring program can post articles on the Savvy Web
Women website to
promote their business as often as they
wish.
Publishing
articles online is a great way to attract additional web
traffic
and connect with your target market. Be consistent
in
writing quality articles targetted to your area of expertise and you'll
position yourself as an expert author in your field of
interest.

Five
Minutes with...
Penelope Herbert
of Underdog Marketing Challenge
Question
1
What
has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
I am easily distracted because my mind works in all directions looking
at opportunities and being creative. To overcome, this I made a very
conscious effort to finish things I started, ideally in order of their
importance, and not to try and do 10 things at once. I also made the
decision to focus on what was important to me or my clients and what
was going to enable me to invoice and get paid. Everything else became
secondary.
Question
2
If
you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do
differently?
I would ask more questions and seek more help. Asking for help has
always been hard for me; I like to figure things out for myself. But,
if I started again, I would definitely avail myself of more resources,
read more books and seek more mentoring.
Question
3
Who
do you admire and why?
Tough question. There are many people for many reasons. I admire people
who never give up; people who don't crush other people to get ahead;
and people who think outside the square even when everyone else is
against them. I like the quirky and creative people. Blessed are the
cracked, because the light shines through them.
Question
4
It
takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.
What keeps you motivated?
An aversion to poverty! There's some truth in that but also to prove to
myself that I can succeed in my chosen field. I guess that's an ego
thing. But I enjoy helping other people to achieve their goals through
using my expertise and experiences. Following passions will always keep
you motivated.
Question
5
What
are your 3 biggest success tips?
- The only difference between success and failure is
perseverance. Never ever give up; don't flog a dead horse but always
look for alternative ways to achieve your goals.
- Figure out what you are good at, get REALLY good at
it; and then bill 'em.
- Always remember that you are only human, as are other
people. Forgive their faults and forgive your own.
