Provided that you know what you are doing.
To date I have personally written, edited and published at least 305 articles online across numerous websites for myself and clients.
NOT including sales pages or other web copy.
What’s more, these articles generate leads and sales every single day.
Like clockwork.
Now, I’m not suggesting you need 305 articles (and counting) for your business.
But I will suggest that even a couple of well-executed articles can bring in a steady stream of leads and sales for you.

Article Marketing Tips
If you checked out the page for article marketing, you already know that EVERY successful campaign requires attention to KEYWORDS, PLACEMENT & COPY.
Today tips will focus on improving your article COPY for maximum effectiveness. Here goes…
- Start off with a thought-provoking Headline
- Address the reader directly, especially in your introduction
- Use questions early on to draw them in
- Use “you, your” twice as often as “I, me”
- Keep it short and sweet – you’re not writing “War & Peace”
- Typically focus on ONE problem or ONE issue
- Keep the tone CONVERSATIONAL
- If you sound like a Press Release it’s a snoozefest, and you’ll lose them for good.
- Drop “corporate speak” IMMEDIATELY — you’re not impressing anyone
- Include a call to action – what to you want them to do, anyway?
- Use text links in your copy and link to “Action pages”
- Incorporate keywords in sub-headings
- Include case studies or testimonials where appropriate
- Inject some personality into your freaking writing, ok?
- Strive to CONNECT with your audience, feel their pain
That’s a good start right there.
Each point mentioned above could be an article all on it’s own. Hey, you just might have given me an idea…
