Article Marketing Questions – What is Article Marketing? (Nice to Begin With the Basics)

Q: I’m so overwhelmed with information I have analysis paralysis. Everyone has his/her opinion on how to start. Straight up–what’s my FIRST step to making money? Articles? Blogging? Teleseminars?

A: I’m going to give you four steps to break out of your “paralysis of analysis” and get you moving.

Step 1 – Pick a specific niche – 70% of the strategy sessions I do with my prospects and listeners invovle people who are struggling to clearly define their niche. Many times beginning marketers are interested in many things and trying to do them all at once.

This is a clear path to frustration and failure.

Pick one specific niche that you are interested in, has a potential audience, and that you will commit to for 90 days.

Step 2 – Get yourself a blog – The fastest way to create a web presence right now is to create a WordPress Blog, This will be the hub of your system. You can do anything on a blog that you can do on a website because a blog is a website. I recommend you have an opt-in box in the upper right hand corner of your blog, so your visitors can opt-in for more information from you, and so you can build your list.

Step 3 – Drive traffic with multiple articles – The quickest, cheapest and most powerful way to drive traffic to your new blog is to write multiple articles about topics in your niche. At the end of the article invite the reader back to your blog for more information from you. Multiple articles identify you as the expert and thought leader in your niche, and quickly raise the know, like and trust factor.

And when I say multiple articles, I do mean multiple – remember “an article a day keeps recession away.”

Step 4 – Follow up with teleseminars – Teleseminars are a great way to continue and deepen the know, like and trust factor that you began in your articles. Prospects have read your article and began to see how you approach and solve problems. On a teleseminar they are hearing your voice and experiencing your personality.

Following up with teleseminars is a great way to convince your prospect that they have chosen the right person to learn from and to invest in continuing education with you.

Q: I’ve researched ezine articles and can’t find anyone else doing interior design business and that is my niche, do I find a new niche that I don’t know well? If I go decorative, not business of design, it isn’t my desired audience but DIY consumers.

A: Just because you cannot find anyone else doing your niche on EzineArticles does not mean that there are not articles about your niche there. They might be under a different category than you thought or under different keywords than you thought.

If you have done your keyword research and know there is a market for your services, then my recommendation is you blaze a trail of your own at EzineArticles. Choose the category that your niche most closely fits into. People search more by keywords than by category.

Make it a goal to get 25 articles published as soon as you can. Let your community know each time you have a new article. Make sure you have your account set up to automatically announce new articles on Twitter. Announce each new article on Twitter yourself as well.

Q: Should I put the same articles in my newsletter, blog, article sites, facebook, etc. or should the article marketing articles be different?

A: You can certainly use your article in your newsletter, blog, article sites, and Facebook. I would also create video articles, teleseminars, ecourses, and mention your articles on Twitter as well.

This is the purpose of article marketing, to “get your information in front of as many eyes as possible in as many consumable forms as possible.

This is called repurposing, which is the true definition of working smarter instead of harder.

Just make sure that if you have an article on an article directory with links in the resource box that lead to a site of yours where that same article resides, you need to make sure the two versions of your article are about 20% different.

Other than that, repurpose away.

Q: Jeff- you said use 1 (one) resource box for all 25 articles sending them presumably to a sales site. Could we also send them to a blog site (using some of those 25 article resource boxes) as long as it has an opt-in page? Or use different articles to send them to a niche-related blog site?

A: Let’s clarify a couple of things. What you put in your resource box and where you send your prospect depends on your purpose. If you want to use your articles to build your list, then use one link in your resource box and send them to an opt-in page.

If your goal is to make direct sales, I think it is better to send them to an opt-in page and then make the offer on the thank you page.

You can certainly send them to your blog with an opt-in box, if your goal is to “feed your blog.” Just know that some people will wind up reading your blog instead of opting in. Check my resource box below to see how you can direct their attention to the opt-in box.

Look for the opt-in box in the upper right hand corner – fair enough?
