Article Marketing - Writing Killer Articles Quickly And Easily

You might think that there is no way that you can do article marketing. You might believe that you simply don't have it in you to write articles for backlinks or to bring visitors to your website and I'm going to tell you that you're dead wrong! Anybody can do this and all that is required is a junior high school education. If you have achieved the status of at least a 8th grade education or even a 6th grade education you already have all the training that you need to become a successful article marketing guru. Well, perhaps not a guru but given time you will rise above those that quit and throw up their hands in disgust saying that they can't do article marketing. The only marketers that fail at article marketing are those that either quit or simply don't try. While it may take you some time before you are truly comfortable with your article marketing efforts, if you look back at the articles that you wrote a month ago or six months ago and tell yourself that they are garbage compared to what you write now then you are making progress. So, what is required of you as a junior high school graduate that enables you to become one of the elite; an article marketer? Well, if you were in junior high school you were required to write reports. You had to write book reports or some sort of report on the Civil War or something that really didn't interest you nearly as much as your chosen niche or the subject of the website that is near and dear to your heart. But still, you were taught the proper way to write a report. What? You don't remember what you were taught in junior high school? Well, if junior high school was a long time ago or if you simply weren't paying attention because there were girls all around you that were simply blossoming before your eyes then here is a refresher course. At the top of your page you can write your topic. Leave it at that and write your title once you are done with your article. Now think of two or three ideas that you want to write about. Write a short sentance about each of these ideas. Now go back above these two ideas and write a short paragraph of two or three sentences about what your article is going to be about or the problem that you are going to discuss in your article. In your second paragraph either expand on your topic or the problem and present the facts that you are going to discuss in your article in the form of answers to the problem or the solutions. Now comes the meat of your article. Explain your first point in a few sentences alongside your first point. Create another paragraph with some complementing information on your point or even a counterpoint to your original idea. Now move on to your second point and do the same. Wow! Your article is just about done! Close out your article with a summary of what you have written about along with some anecdotal information or some suggestions and you are just about done. The crowning blow or the kill shot of your article should be in your resource box. While there are literally tombs written on writing effective resource boxes, what often works best is a bit of a continuation of your article right there in your resource box with a strong call to action that compells your reader to visit your website or click your link. And there you have it! There is a very basic yet very effective way of writing articles that should get you well on your way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in the world of article marketing. It really doensn't take more than a basic education to begin your career as an article marketer and given time and some self education you can become quite successful and profitable using article marketing to drive traffic to your website.
