Writing an article is an inexpensive and easy way to promote your business and attract high quality traffic to a website. Article marketing helps to build your credibility as an authority in your industry and attract high volumes of quality traffic to your website. If you want to become an article marketing expert then follow the simple guidelines to writing an article below. Step #1: Find the audience that you want to target It's important to get into the mind of your prospect when writing an article. Think about what they'd like to hear and what they are looking for and tailor your article based on their needs. You'll have a captive audience once you know what your prospect is looking for. Step #2: Choose the right keywords When you're writing an article your main goal is to get your prospects to read it, right? Well they will never even see your article if you don't choose the proper keywords. The two types of keywords that you need to look for when you write an article are called long tailed and short tailed keywords. Example of a short-tailed keyword (Article Writing). Example of a long-tailed keyword (How to Write an Article). When you're writing an article you're best bet is to choose a long tailed keyword, since there's a lot less competition competing for that keyword. This will be the best chance to get your article viewed by your target audience. Step #3: Choose what topic you want to write about Once you've picked what long tailed keyword that you want to use, it's time to chose the topic that you are going to write about. For example, if your long-tail keyword is "writing an article," than your topic could be "steps to writing an article correctly." Step #4: Write your article Writing an article is very simple. The process should only take around 30 minutes to complete. Don't worry about writing the perfect article. Just sit down and start writing. That's the most important part. Easy step to follow when writing an article: 1. Think about the 3 main points to your article and make them into one sentence each. 2. After choosing your 3 main points, write 3-5 sentences for each of those points. 3. The 3 main points that you've chosen will bee the first sentence of your 3 main paragraphs. 4. The 3-5 sentences will be the body of each paragraph. Now that you've finished your three main paragraphs, all you need is an introduction paragraph. *All you need to do is write 3-4 sentences that sum up the the paragraphs and you can make this your introduction. Now all you need is a conclusion. *Write 2-3 sentences that sum up the three main points you've written and this will be the conclusion. Step #5: Write article title When you write the title it's important to follow these steps. 1. If possible include your entire keyword in the title. 2. Put your keyword as close to the beginning of the article title as possible. 3. Questions make compelling article titles. People have the need to have their questions answered. If possible make your title a question. Step #6: Distribute article It's very important to distribute your article to as many article sites as possible so your article will rank higher in the search engines. There are some programs on the Internet that will submit your article to hundreds of article marketing sites automatically for you. This will save you a tremendous amount of time and it's very well worth the investment. I highly recommend using Unique Article Wizard is you choose to use an article submitter.
