Article Directories - The Key To Article Marketing Profits

By Kylon Trower

You can submit quality articles to free article directories to get massive exposure for you business. As the writer or author of these articles you get an opportunity to display your contact name and website at the bottom for readers to contact your directly.

One of the most difficult hurdles to overcome when starting a business is establishing credibility. By writing articles on your subject you are almost immediately seen as an expert in tee eyes of your readers. The more people like and trust you the more sales you will be able to make in your business. It's really that simple.

If you feel that don't have the skills required to write your own articles you an always have them outsourced. There are ghostwriters that will charge you a per article fee to write them for you. Although this may seem like a costly option, properly written articles will pay for themselves very quickly from the sales of your product or service.

et me give you a quick example, let's say you are a realtor and want to generate more home sales in your local area. You write a few articles on the subject and provide great content for the reader. Once the reader gets to the bottom of you article they have an option. They can click away, visit your website or contact you directly. Imagine the impact if just one reader results in a several thousand dollar home sale for your business, that's powerful stuff.

The most powerful aspect of article marketing is that your content will remain on the internet for years to come giving you a residual effect. Also, other directories or authors may pick up your content to use on their sites which will give you even more traffic and potential customers. Because your contact information must remain on the bottom of the article, you are guaranteed more exposure should someone else use your content.

Because there are several thousand directories to get your articles exposed I'll share my personal preferences for the greatest results. I recommend using article submission software or an article submission service to carry out the arduous tasks of submission. I find submission to be the most time consuming, therefore, I suggest using one of these tools to leverage your article writing process.
