I sat down just the other day to list the many benefits of Article Marketing.
It was quite a long list.
Here are just 7 of the many benefits of article writing and article marketing.
1) Expert Status - If you just use a website or blog, it can take a very long time to establish your expert status on the Internet.
When you write and publish your articles to the Article Directories, you will not only be found on the directories, you will be found on all the many websites, blogs and newsletters that pick up and use your article.
The more you are seen on the Internet in your niche, the more you are seen as the expert.
2) Content Creation - One of the biggest challenges on the Internet is creating content.
When you write articles on a regular basis you are creating content every time you write.
And if you write daily, you are creating content everyday.
3) Get Known on the 'Net - How do you set yourself apart from all the other online entrepreneurs in your niche? When you blanket your niche with your articles you get found more often by your ideal clients and your reputation on the 'Net grows.
4) Simplifies the Internet - You need 5 things to be successful on the internet: content creation, traffic generation, list building, marketing messages, and product creation.
Article Marketing provides all 5 faster, easier and with less overall human effort than anything I know.
5) Traffic Generation - Don't chase traffic.
Find out where it is going and get in front of it.
You do this by writing and then submitting articles to EzineArticles.
com the number one Article Directory.
6) Share Your Knowledge - When you write great quality articles you get to share your knowledge on the world wide stage.
Remember that "www" stands for world wide web.
7) Build a List - List building with articles brings your some of the most highly qualified prospects possible.
Just think about it - someone has spent 3 - 5 minutes reading your article and then raised their hand to say "I want more information and I want it from you!"
