Last time out I told you all how to write a great article.\u00a0 I never told you what to do with it once you actually wrote it.\u00a0 I plan to remedy that situation today.\u00a0 Once the content of your article is written, there are a couple of things you will want to do.\u00a0 I will summarize this with the acronym ORS.\u00a0 That stands for Optimize, Resource Box, and Submit.\u00a0 Like the oars of a boat, these three keys will steer your online business presence where you want it go.<\/p>\n
The first thing you want to do is optimize.\u00a0 Making sure your article is SEO, or Search Engine Optimized, is absolutely paramount to ensuring your article is effective.\u00a0 You want to make sure that any Yahoo out there can find your article with ease.\u00a0 The idea is to think of the words you would Google if you wanted to know about your subject.\u00a0 You want to imagine yourself typing the words in the search engine and Bing! Your article pops up!\u00a0 Put these “keywords” in the title, and pepper them throughout your article as well.\u00a0 Take this one step and watch traffic come rolling in to your site.\u00a0 Then, move on to the next phase.<\/p>\n
Next, let\u2019s talk about the resource box.\u00a0 This box is the most important portion of your article.\u00a0 Let me say that again.\u00a0 THIS BOX IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PORTION OF YOUR ARTICLE. Some people refer to this as the author bio, author info, or some other inane title.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make this final paragraph about yourself.\u00a0 Use it to compel your reader to do something.\u00a0 You want them to utilize a service that you offer, or go to a free giveaway you are holding, or\u2026something.\u00a0 Make sure this paragraph flows naturally as the last paragraph of your article. Don\u2019t wrap things up and make the reader think you are finished before you get to this paragraph.\u00a0 Once they figure out they are at the advertising portion of your article, they will be out of there like Jordache jeans. Take the time to keep them interested and they will jump to your site.\u00a0 So now your article is written, but what do you do with it?<\/p>\n
Now you want to take your highly effective, expertly written article and submit it to a top-notch article submission site.\u00a0 These are places where authors like you place their world-class articles so the masses can see them.\u00a0 The articles are typically grouped by subject.\u00a0 That means someone reading an article about, say, writing effective articles, could stumble upon the masterpiece you have written on the same subject.\u00a0 They also allow you to link back to your site so that your customers can find you directly.\u00a0 It\u2019s a win-win situation for sure.\u00a0 There are a plethora of sites out there but not all of them get many visitors.\u00a0 The best ones I have found are:<\/p>\n
Isnare, Buzzle, and ArticleCity are also great.\u00a0 I really like the name Buzzle.\u00a0 Choose one, choose them all, but submit that fabulous article you have written.\u00a0 After all, article submission sites are your friends. Just the like the Beatles once said, \u201cWe get by with a little help from our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking of friends, I know that this article writing and submission stuff can seem daunting.\u00a0 Maybe you are too busy running your business, shipping your product, pleasing your current customers, and trying to keep your people happy and productive.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have time for all of this article writing stuff.\u00a0 The good news is we can help you.\u00a0 We can offer you high quality articles about the subjects your customers want most for a very reasonable price.\u00a0 It is just one of the many ways we at Numinix want to help you take your business to the next level.<\/p>\n
See?\u00a0 I told you the resource box was the most important part!<\/p>\n
