Write a Top Ten List
An easy way to get started with an article is to come up with a Top Ten List. Find a topic related to your business, and jot down ten reasons, why someone should purchase your product or offer advice on a topic, that is related to your website.
Examples would be top ten ways to get your baby to sleep through the night, top ten reasons to write articles, or top ten reasons to buy car insurance. Once, you have your list of ten items, write a little paragraph about each, explaining the reason in a little more detail.
Next: You add an introductory paragraph which pulls the reader into your list. For example, an introduction to the baby sleeping through the night article could mention how hard. It is to make it through the day, and how sleep-deprived, you are until to get your baby to sleep through the night. Then close your article either by summing up. What you told them in your top ten lists or encouraging them to act on it. What you just told them about this.
Congratulations, you just wrote an article. Of course, you can easily shorten this to a top 5 list. Just to write a little more about each of your points.
Record Your Article:
Some people prefer recording themselves, while they are talking about a particular topic, and then transcribing and editing it into an article. If you have an easier time, talking about a particular topic and then writing about it, so this may be a great option for you. Most MP3 players now come with a record option, or you can pick up a cheap tape recorder. Pick a topic and just start talking, as if you were explaining it to a friend. Just start babbling and the ideas will start to flow. Now listen to your tape, write down and arrange the major points you made in order. Add an intro and a closing, and you have another article.
Hire a Ghost Writer:
If you are having a hard time writing articles, or just don’t have the time to do it, you can still benefit from article marketing by hiring a ghostwriter. Ghostwriters will write unique articles for you, that become your intellectual property. You can post them as your own work to your site, or in your blog, as well as the article directories. You can find a ghostwriter on the web sites. There are also some freelance writers with their own websites out there. You can usually buy articles anywhere from $5 to $65.
WRITE AN OUTLINE AND HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TURN IT INTO AN ARTICLE
Another option, if you don’t want to do all the writing yourself, is for you to write a basic outline of the article, and the point you want to bring across. Jot down any ideas you have for the article, then ask a friend, or hire someone to flesh it out for you into an article. You may be more comfortable passing these articles off as your own, since the content of the article was your original idea. Someone else just put it into an article format for you.
There is no reason for this, you are not to get started with article marketing one way or the other. Get a few articles out there, and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will be so impressed by the results, you can get, even from a handful of articles. You will be writing them and submitting them, all the time.
