The theory of article marketing goes like this: Write an article, submit it to an article directory, get it published on multiple websites, get immediate traffic from those interested in your subject, and create residual traffic through links back to your site. There is a ton of information available for each topic I mentioned here.

First off you need to write an article. That sounds tough doesn't it? Well it is! It takes time, motivation and practice to write quality articles. If you do a search on writing articles you will find many results for software that does this for you. There is simply no substitute for just doing it yourself, or paying money for a ghostwriter. There are plenty of forums and free ebooks out there that can help you to choose a topic and organize your thoughts to write a good article. Do your research or just start writing and submitting and eventually you'll get better at it. One other option is to find some PLR articles, which are Private Label Rights articles. There are numerous sites giving these away just for you signing up for their newsletters. Most article directories won't let you submit these article because they are worthless. The good part about them is that they already have a topic and a structure. You can just edit it and add some more personality to it and make it your own.

Next comes the submission to article directories. Many sites are on the web where you can submit your article. It is very important not to use some crappy PLR article as your own. Make sure to edit it enough to make it unique otherwise the directory will recognize the fact that you are just trying to get your resource box up with the same content everyone else who got that same PLR article for free. Now that you have an article and have submitted it you must include a short message about yourself in the author resource box. This is the exciting part. You get to put a link to your website in the resource box. Now when some other webmaster is building a site around the same topic as your article and needs some content he/ she comes to the article directory and finds your article. When he/ she uses your article the resource box with your link gets put up on his/ her website.

If the website receives lots of traffic then your quality article with your link to your website has a good chance of being clicked. Another great thing about the article directory is the fact that there is no limit to the number of webmasters who can use your article. If it is a quality article and many webmasters use it your traffic could shoot through the roof.

Now for the good part. All of these links on other people's websites does wonders for your search engine rankings. The scenario above is the best case. Let's say you write an article and it only gets published a few times. You get a little traffic but nothing major. You may get a little discouraged and want quit the business altogether. You just put your heart into an article and it brought a few visitors to your site now what? Do it again! If it worked once why not do it over and over again until you get the residual traffic you need?

Article marketing is the best method for people on a tight budget. Most directories are free to submit article to. You can even use this method if you have no website. It works great for affiliate marketing too! You write an article about some aspect of the product you are an affiliate for and put your affiliate link in the resource box. The possibilities are endless with article marketing. Now get busy writing!
