Article Marketing – How to Get Started
Here are some simple steps to help you get started:
1. Get your keywords handy that you selected in step one. If you want to review the process of selecting your best keywords go to Chapter 2 – Create a Game Plan, pages 37-40.
2. Identifying your topics. There are lots of different ways to go about identifying your topics. When I first started writing articles, I took about an hour and wrote down all of the stages and categories that a person would have to know about and then created titles from that. Now I use a different method, which I would recommend that you start with. I think it’s easier and creates more effective articles in the long run.
Viral Marketing Tactics
Sweat equity marketing promotions is any marketing technique that uses pre-existing social networks to spread a company’s message.
Viral marketing is unique, entertaining and easy to share. It is often in the format of a short video, an audio or eBook. What makes a piece of material “viral” is that the message is passed quickly from one person to the next until its reach increases exponentially.

Search Engines Directory & Submissions
Directories are a stockpile of human reviewed Websites that are arranged in topical categories. Unlike the search engines that use programs to review the Websites, directories have people do the work by hand. You will want to submit your Website to directories to increase traffic and backlinks to help improve your Website ranking.
Tracking Opt-in Conversions
Web forms and looking at the percentage under the “S/UD” column. Your goal is to get this percentage as high as possible.
Landing Page Give Away
You need an incentive for people to give you their contact information, and a good one is to offer them some useful information or tools at no cost. What tools should you offer? “How to” titles on hot topics work great. You can create a product that provides instruction for the first several steps of a large process. Give them enough information that they can implement what they have learned and reap some benefits from it.
