Article Marketing Techniques
In this article we are going to take a quick look at some article marketing techniques that work amazingly well….especially for people who are willing to be a little bit outrageous, ostentatious and even a wee bit “obnoxious” with their writing style….as being a bit controversial and creative with your content is almost always an effective way to amplify your results.
But listen up – I want to make this really clear – I KNOW some people will tell you otherwise. I know there are article marketing “gurus” that will you something different. But in MY experience, (and it’s really extensive in this area) the best way to get a bodacious amount of backsides to your site, service or offer is to stand out. To be unique. To be a wee bit on that creative curve of curiosity…where people aren’t exactly sure what to make of you..:-)
And yes, I know what you’re thinking right now:
“it’s easy for YOU, Ian. You’ve got killer hair, super white teeth and an ineffable, hard to define creative charisma that’s just exciting to be around”
And I’m not going to lie – you DO make an excellent point. And I appreciate your nice words, it means a lot to me when I hear the effect I’m having on my peers. Â
But the truth is, these strategies work for ANYONE who applies them, and if you’re willing to give them a chance, you’ll see they’re equally as effective for you.
Technique #1: Super (duper) long titles: (I’ve tested this over and over again, and in the search results, my longer, verbose titles ALWAYS get more clicks on article directories) Key takeaway? Never say in 6 words what you can say in 16..:-)
Technique #2: Capitalize ONE word in your title. You don’t want to overdo this…..because you’re articles won’t be accepted. But one seems to be ok…and it’s also a great way to “call attention” to your content. (rather than someone else’s)
Technique #3: Content consistency. If you’ve got 3 tips in your article, make your resource box an extra tip. The same thing with ways. Or techniques. The less your links look like a pitch (or a separate part of the article) the MORE frequently they’ll get clicked. (and really, it’s all that counts)
Technique #4: Be confrontational, be funny, be controversial and NEVER be boring. Become a character. (or even a caricature..:-) People like to be entertained, and you can do it in a silly way that gets a smile, AND still gets your marketing message across to boot!
The bottom line?
Have fun, and don’t over think it! I love writing articles, simply because I have a vivid imagination, drink tons of coffee and have 3 more months of house arrest to go. If you can learn to truly “enjoy” your niche, and truly love to help people with theirs, there is truly nothing you can do with creative content online….and the best part is, it’s free!
