Reach 15,000 to 100,000 targeted
buyers every week Online. That's
the best reason I know to write and submit how-to
articles to opt-in ezines and top web sites. get more book
sales.Now, that's real exposure! And it's totally targeted
because these people visit sites and subscribe to ezines
who feature your topics of expertise. Your coach now has
over 105 articles circulating and these have brought her
over one-third her monthly income.
The second best reason is
that promoting your book through articles is fre*e. You
subscribe to ezines, then submit your short Online articles
to your online subscribers. All you do is write and submit
your article once a week to ezines and top web sites. Your
coach's articles are now on 900 other people's web sites
with a URL link back to her site. Think about those increased
sales, mainly because they are targeted.
The third best reason is
that this promotion method takes little time to accomplish,
maybe nine hours a week. You write a short article from
300-800 words, get it edited and send it off. You can send
to over 10 opt-in ezines at once with just one click. That's
exposure to over 15,000 potential customers. You may spend
an hour writing at first, but soon, you will produce a great
article much faster.
If you don't want to learn how to do this from a good coach
or teleclass, enroll an inexpensive assistant, and let her
do this promotion. Delegating this task has made your coach's
time promoting even less than nine hours. You can expand
your business and book sales so much more when you follow
the coach's motto: "Do what you do best and hire the
rest."
More Reasons to Write and Submit Articles
4. Submitting articles is 7 times
as effective as advertising because when you submit
many articles, you become known as the savvy expert. Your
potential buyers appreciate your fre*e information and will
eventually trust you enough to buy from you.
Just the sheer numbers of these articles you submit with
your proper signature box at the bottom can bring 10-50
new ezine subscribers each time. This free advertising box
attracts people to your Web site, where, if you have proper
copywriting with marketing pizzazz, you will sell many books
or services.
Start writing a few articles, keep them until you have
ten to submit.As you submit them, write a new article once
a week. When you submit 20 or so, you will become a household
name. Ezine publishers and sites will publish them People
who visit the site or read the ezine will also ask you if
it's OK they use your article. Of course it is!
They will send your articles to their business associates,
who, if they produce an ezine or have a Web site, will also
publish your article. Talk about viral marketing! You can
also write short tip articles from 100-300 words. You coach
now expands her market to people who don't want a lot of
information--just the facts, please.
Coach's Tip: Be sure to send a thank you each time someone
emails you saying they want to publish your article. After
you thank the, ask for permission to add their email to
your ePublishers email list. When you keep track of all
supporters in an email list, they become your 24/7 sales
force. Your coach sends new articles and tips each week
to over 150 ePublishers she collected emails from. Now,
that's viral marketing at its best!
Entice your ePublishers to say "yes, ePub" in
the subject line back to you by offering the benefit that
it's straight to their email door and they will get the
latest, up-to-the-minute information on your topic.
5. You receive global attention
when other Web masters feature your articles because they
will include a short bio, articles description and key words
to help the search engines find you. Your rank in the search
engines will go way up like mine to be one of the top ten
web sites in your field. .It's exciting to get a call from
China or other countries wanting your book or service. All
of this means more book sales, and you don't even have to
leave your office. Your coach is now number three in google
and 35 other search engines.
6. The more exposure your articles
get, the more you are perceived as the savvy expert,
and when potential customers visit your web site, they are
more likely to buy not just one book or service, but several.
7. You can recycle your articles
over and over to get even more exposure and sales..
First, you can include your new article or tip in your own
ezine you send out to potential customers. Tweak it a bit
to submit to the opt-in ezines and top web sites. Don't
resubmit within one year it unless you make pertinent revisions.
You can change the slant with another audience, or you can
change the title, shorten or lengthen it.You can take a
small amount of information out of one article and repackage
it into a short tip. Ask your coach the best way to write
a tip.
8. Your articles could attract authors
in your field who need free material for their book.
Debbie Allen, shameless promoter herself, who wrote "Confessions
of Internet Promoters" took three of my how-to articles
for her latest Internet marketing book. Now in it's 2nd
printing my revised three articles will pull even more interest.
As she promotes her book, she promotes these articles. This
word of mouth buzz will bring even more new business.
9. Take advantage of your Online
audience. Remember, people go the net to get free
information. If you give that freely, they are more apt
to become loyal customers.Remember also, that because other
Web site owners and ezine publishers don't have time to
only write their own articles, they are constantly looking
for your how-to articles. You can be published in hundreds
of them!
Article writing and submitting is the best book promotion
effort so far. With over 105 circulating the net, my web
master makes them available by categories of Book Writing
and Self-publishing, eBooks, Online Promotion, Web Marketing
and Under 500 Words. People can just click and get any one
article by autoresponder, so they get exactly what they
want. Divide and conquer. Think of the different categories
you can offer. Make a list of them and get the word out!
Start writing short articles now, and see how great Online
exposure brings you what you want and need for your business
success.
