But when I saw EzineArticles.com's "100 Articles in 100 Days Marathon Challenge", I saw an opportunity that both you (the business owner) and I could cash in on.
Taking on this challenge would be a wonderful way to increase my discipline as a writer and businessperson. But my business doesn't need 100 syndicated articles, and if I'm going to be writing all this content, I want it to be making a difference for business owners and independent professionals. Getting compensated for my time wouldn't be bad, either.
The challenge starts on Thursday and runs through the end of December, so here's the deal.
The SEO Article Special:
From Thursday through the rest of 2010, I'll be offering my article marketing services for a breathtakingly low $50/article. Each article will include:
- A consulting session to determine which keywords/article topic would be most beneficial for your business to target.
- Thorough keyword research tailored specifically to your business' industry/niche.
- A well-researched 400-600 word article written on the topic of your choice.
- 3 in-text links, optimized with keyword and brand anchor text.
- Syndication of the article to Ezinearticles and my own super-secret list of 100s of industry-relevant content sites.
Feel free to take a look at a few articles I've done. See how well they rank in search engines by searching for the key terms in the title.
What is Article Marketing, and why should I buy your articles?
Article marketing is, simply put, writing great content and syndicating it to as many relevant online article publishers as possible. There are 1,000s of sites which accept article submissions on every topic under the sun.
In short, article marketing serves two main purposes:
1) To funnel traffic back to your website and/or to establish you or your business as an industry expert on a specific topic. Well written, informative or entertaining articles will attract a larger readership, and other sites will link to this content, driving qualified visitors to you. Content sites require that readers who re-syndicate this content on their own site credit you as the author and retain original reference links.
Articles written using a good SEO keyword strategy and posted to high ranking sites like EzineArticles.com will obtain high search engine rankings for niche terms fairly easily. Just Google "watercraft title insurance" and check out the #2 result. Booyah.
2) To build links. Lots of links. Nearly all the sites that syndicate your content will keep your optimized HTML links, giving your website an SEO adrenaline shot. We don't have time in this post to discuss how and why links are important to your site, but you can read more about it in my website's SEO resources.
If you think about it, $50 for an article which provides your brand with SEO, brand awareness and improves your industry expertise is pretty darn cheap.
Do you need to increase your visibility online for one particular niche service or product? Try one or two articles. Are you a large or ecommerce business facing heavy keyword competition? Buy 20 articles! Remember: I'm happy to consult with you on how to leverage articles to your business' best advantage.
