Writing articles isn't as hard as you may think it is. I have put this little article marketing training guide together for those who have the motivation but lack the skills.

Article marketing can be a fun and creative way to market your online business. The best part is, it's free. It's not the only free method of advertising but in my opinon it's the best. To get started with online marketing in any kind of advertising can be a tedious task but I'm gonna try to make things as clear as possible. With that being said, let's get started.

Step 1

Find a niche- I recommend writing about what you know and what you don't know, educate yourself on the subject. What are you interested in? If you write about something your interested in, it makes things flow easier and it keeps you from getting bored. You can easily find a niche using dmoz or clickbank. Decide what you want to write about and take action.

Step 2

Keyword Research- When I first began in internet marketing, this was the toughest part for me. It's easy once you get the hang of it but boy did I have a time with this. In order to succeed in internet marketing, you have to do the keyword research. To begin this process, choose 10 keywords that's related to your niche. Use the Google Keyword tool to add more concepts to your list. When you have a few good keywords, head to Google search and type the first keyword in the search box except put quotation marks around it. If you get under 5000 results, make a note of that keyword. Do this until you have a nice long list of keywords. Hold on to that list, we'll be coming back to it.

Step 3

Write Your Article- Now that you have your list of keywords, we are gonna write an article per keyword and to properly optimize your article for the search engines, you should put the keyword in the:

-The Title

-The first few sentences

-Anchor Text

-The end of your article

Your article needs to revolve around that one keyword. If you have more than one keyword, they will compete against each other. If you optimize your article correctly, you can outrank everyone else.

Step4

Submit Your Article- There are article directories all over the internet. Just do a Google search for them and sign up. Submit your article to these directories.

Now all that's left is to get traffic and earn money. This article marketing training is worth it's weight in gold. You can easily write 500 articles for one great product. You just have to apply the work.
