5 Powerful Article Writing Tips
Terri Seymour

Writing articles is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful methods of building your reputation and your online business. Not only do you get unlimited exposure, but it is free as well!

If your article is well-written, you will probably get listed on numerous websites as well as in several ezines. This will establish you as someone who knows what they are talking about and will more than likely bring you many visitors and subscribers.

People will start to come to you when they need information or products or advice. This is a great way of establishing your online presence.

Writing articles is not as hard as you may think. You do not have to be a professional writer to produce an effective article. Below are some tips to help you get started.

1. Don't worry about big fancy words.

People are looking for easy to understand, down-to- earth articles to help them learn. They are not interested in being impressed with encyclopedia language skills.

2. Advertise in your resource box, not the article.

Do not use you article as a big sales letter for a product or program. Give your info in the resource box. I would recommend you just try to get people to sign up for your newsletter or free report/ecourse in your resource box. Save the selling for later.

3. Make yourself accessible if someone wants to get in touch with you.

People want to know that they can get in touch with you if they have questions about your article, website, etc. Always make it easy for them to find you.

4. Provide basic, real, useful information as well as resources to go along with the info.

When writing your article, try to list some useful resources that your readers can utilize along with the information you give them. This will further give people a reason to want to stay in touch with you or your website.

5. Write from the heart!

Do not be afraid to let your personality shine through in your writing. This will make people more apt to trust you and will also make them more comfortable. Write as if you were talking to a friend and let the real you shine through. I think people appreciate this more than trying to sound like something you are not!

Do not let your doubts stop you from writing articles to build your reputation and your business. I did for awhile, but then took the plunge. My first article did surprisingly well and yours can as well! ;-)

How To Build a ClickThru Marketing Web-Page Guaranteed To Pull In Tons of Folks.
by David Hallum
(An excerpt from david' free ebook... "ClickThru Marketing - What it is...And how to use it")

The biggest mistake and the reason most people fail at clickthru marketing is that they just pop in their affiliate link and start sending folks to their affiliate website.

This is a very big mistake, the one thing you should keep in mind when using click-thru marketing is that people will be viewing your webpage for only 10 to 30 seconds. So you will need to make sure your webpage is fast loading and that it captures the surfer's contact information so you can follow-up with them later.

Keeping this in mind, you will need to design or have someone design a webpage for you that: · Don't have a lot of graphics on it · Get right to the point. · Capture the viewers' attention. · And get their email address

Tell the people viewing your webpage how they will benefit by giving you their email address. Your main objective is to develop leads. Don't try to make sales, just get their email addresses and use your follow up messages to make your sales pitch.

Another thing to consider is your bandwidth usage. Once you have developed your network of fellow clickthru marketers, who will be sending a ton of traffic to your webpage. You don't want this traffic to go to waste by exceeding your bandwidth limit, and seeing a message from your web host stating that you have exceeded your bandwidth limit. To avoid this, try and keep your webpage under 10k.

When I'm designing my webpages for clickthru networks, I think in terms of writing a classified ad. First I want to grab the readers' attention, then I want to determine if they have an interest in what I have to offer and if so I give them an easy way to get more free information about my offer. You will need to be able to do this in two to five short sentences. This is my formula for success at clickthru marketing and it works like a charm. Try it and see for yourself.
