When first I began my internet marketing career,5 Secrets Of Effective Article Marketing Articles I took a course called One Week Marketing by Pot Pie Girl, which opened up my eyes to the world of article marketing. Article marketing can be vastly profitable and it provide an easy (and FREE) method of getting word of your product to the public. However, in order to do that you must first get people to read your article – and there is a lot of competition out there! Here are 5 simple to writing more effective articles.


One: You need to get more people to read your article. You do that.... with your TITLE! Did you know that 80% of people only read article titles! So think of it this way, if you don't have an eye-catching title, you're letting 80% of your article's potential readers get away.


Two: You need to get more people to read you article to the end. If your readers don't read all the way to the end of your article they will never even see the resource box, much less click on your links! Several tips for doing that are (a) keep your sentences short. Short sentences are much easier to absorb and communicate quickly and concisely. They help propel your reader through to the end. (b) use subheadings. Subheadings are mini-headlines that help to break up large blocks of text.


Three: You need to get more people to trust what you say. If you're open about what you're selling, your reader can choose to tune in, or tune out. There is no deception and no loss of credibility. But when you try and hide this process, your prospect feels cheated at the end when you eventually reveal that you want them to buy something. Resulting in ... no trust.


Four: You need to get more people to respect your value. People don’t respect your value until you educate them. How could they? There’s no way your customers could ever realize the full effort you really put in to your business, is there? So if you don’t want to be treated like a commodity any more, you need to help your customers to understand what goes on in your business by explaining the product or service and it's value to them.


Five: You need to get more people excited about your product or Service. we all want to feel good. And in most cases, that means getting excited about something. Getting people excited about your product or service is easy once you know how. The main thing you’ve got to remember is, your customers want to know what they are going to get from their experience with you. It’s a selfish desire - but it’s a fact and we have to deal with it. Most readers are looking for an answer to a problem they may have and your job is to help them solve that problem.
