Article marketing is the production of articles and using them to promote your products
or services. Articles provide unequalled opportunities for generation of free targeted
traffic and attainment of high page rank. They equally establish you as an expert in your
field.
You can write the articles yourself or have them written for you, for a little fee. Sites like
www.elance.com have ready freelancers for such jobs. To be most effective, the articles
must supply needed and useful information on what you sell or present to your customers
online. The information, which should never be seen as an outright advertisement, may
not be complete. Below the article should be placed a short profile of yourself and your
website. To help direct and broaden your article-writing endeavors, there is a vast
assemblage of well written articles on a large variety of niche topics at

The articles are then submitted to various article directories, like:
1. www.goarticles.com
2. www.ezinearticles.com
3. www.articlecity.com
4. www.isnare.com
5. www.articlewarehouse.com, etc.
A search in the search engines for the term, “article+directory”, for example, will reveal
hundreds of article directories. You should submit to as many directories as possible. You
can submit manually, though this is laborious.
You can equally use the following automatic submission sites. They offer free services.
1. www.articlesbase.com
2. www.articles4us.com
3. www.talkgold.com
4. www.freearticlesubmission.com
5. www.articlerich.com
6. www.articleuniversity.com
7. www.articlebasecamp.com
8. www.e-articles.info
You can also use the following paid-service sites:
1. www.articless.net
2. www.submityourarticles.com
3. www.submitsuite.com
4. www.phantomwriters.com
5. www.article-hangout.com, etc.
It will be more profitable to submit with your own software, if you submit a lot of articles regularly.
In order to broaden your reach you should also submit your articles to article
announcement lists. Lists of article directories and article announcement lists are given at www.netpromarketer.com/directoriesandlists.html
You should also send the articles to various ezine publishers for free publication. The
articles and the ezines to which they are sent must be in the same niche (or specialized
market group like mortgage, writing, web design, etc). It must be noted that too many
articles are vying for publication at the same time. How do you outrank others and get your articles published? Since you are trying to get something of value, one secret is to offer something of value in return. Ezine publishers are in the market to make money. Therefore one highly successful method is to work-in your affiliate link for a highly
successful product in your common niche into your article and authorize your publisher
to replace your affiliate link with his. He will like to make money from his readers in this way and hence publish your article.
Another way is to have a choice collection of ebooks and softwares of good value to most
ezine publishers. Dedicate this to your traffic generation. Send a list of these, along with
your articles to the publishers. Allow them to choose one, or more, from this choice
collection for you to send to them in appreciation for publishing your articles. Tell them
to inform you of their choices by email. You may subscribe to their ezines mainly to
monitor the inclusion of your articles. Promptly send them their choices, on their
publication of the articles. You can open a free dedicated email just for this publishingcampaign.
Most publishers will jump at this offer. Meanwhile, in order to obtain this choice
collection on a budget, you may belong to suitable paid membership sites whose products
you will equally sell to make profit.
You can approach the following for your article publication.
1. www.topezineads.com
2. www.lifestylespub.com
3. www.diysearch.com, etc.
A list of ezines that welcome article submissions is available at www.ezinelocater.com
