The most Critical Step to online success is to build your
list. Long term this will pay you more than anything else
you may do.
Why is that?
Because it's yours! You built it, you own it and if you
treat your clients well they will stay with you forever.
Article Marketing is without doubt the absolute best way
to build your list.
Have you tried it but find you're not having any success?
Are your articles not getting opened?
Do you want to know how to get your articles read and how
to get click thrus from readers?
Well there's a knack to it!
It's all in how you set up your article! Once you start
doing it right those click thrus will really start to click!
Here's what you do…
1. You must have a great title:
Getting your articles opened is all about the title. A
great title will grab your visitor's attention and they'll
click your article to see what's inside. A great title
grabs their interest-it tells the reader what they can
learn in the article, and it also arouses curiosity.
So what is a great title?
Great titles have clarity and directness. They stand up
and yell "action". They don't waffle around. They ask a
question…they promise a great outcome…they make a call to
action. They say: "Open "me" and your problems will be
solved."!
Visit a few of the article directories and look at their
"most read articles" page. There's a striking difference in
the directness and clarity of these titles versus articles
in general.
2. You must have a great opening paragraph:
Your first sentence or set of sentences must be just as
powerful as your title. You can't afford to disappoint your
reader. Tell them what they're going to get from your
article and why this will be a benefit to them.
If you don't do this your reader will feel let down…you
haven't provided what you promised… they'll click away and
look somewhere else.
3. You must continue to hold your readers' attention:
After the promise of the title and the opening paragraph
you must continue to hold your readers' attention. You must
now fulfill their expectations. Your information must be
concise, informative and to the point.
Give your reader useful information; information that can
be immediately put into action. Your purpose is wherever
possible to provide information that will make a positive
change in your readers life. You don't need to teach them
everything about the topic… that's probably a life times
work. One article of a few hundred words can't accomplish
this.
But, whatever you write…make it count. Don't just throw up
an article to get another one in the mill. People will come
to expect quality if that's what you provide and they'll
continue to look for your articles and be excited to read
them.
4. Place a compelling call to action in your bio:
At the end of the article you must place a compelling call
to action. You can also refer them to your link from the
body of your article; something like: "for more info click
my link below".
Don't just put your name and accomplishments and a link
in your bio… include a call to action. Tell the reader to
click through to your site for more information on the
topic. Tell them the benefits they can receive from your
site. Then add the link to your site. After that, put
your bio information--and your link again, or another if
you have two sites or two interesting pages.
