MLM Article Marketing Blueprint (Part V): The Article Submission Process (Part V)
Congratulations on crafting a well researched content driven article that provides your readers with value and solutions. Now reap the rewards for your work and earn recognition from increased website traffic and search engine rankings branding you as an expert in your chosen field. It is time to get your article on the internet and have it posted in as many places as possible.
Most article marketers submit their pieces to article directories and websites that host article submssions from an array of industries and numerous niche’s within each industry. In your case most likely network marketing or internet marketing is your industry and you can write about any number of specialties or niche’s within that industry.
Like all previous parts in this MLM Article Marketing Blueprint, your article submissions are to be done correctly for full effectiveness. First, select the most popular directories for your article to be posted at. Readers will visit a directory to conduct research or gather information about their field of interest.
Most directories will accept articles from nearly any industry category although some directories may be more specialized to certain industries. Your goal is to submit your articles to as many directories as possible and build backlinks to your website.
This may sound obvious but always remember to submit your article under the correct category and sub-category. Your article about an MLM review for example, belongs in a network marketing or home business category instead of general business or advertising. Remember readers will research these directories by specific category and you want your article read by people looking at information about MLM or network marketing.
Almost all article directory websites are free to join. No matter what, without fail, the number one directory is Ezinearticles.com. Start at that site and create a good author profile and begin submitting articles. There are many other popular directories such as isnare.com and articlecity.com that allow submissions for free. You can develop a great readership and drive free traffic to your websites by developing a personal profile on the top 10 directories and following the article marketing blueprint detailed in this 5 part series.
If time is a major concern for you then you can purchase software for automated submissions to multiple sites These programs can have some effectiveness however they often advertise that your article will be submitted to 400 directories which sounds great, unfortunately most of these sites receive an insignificant amount of traffic. Your personal submission to the top 10 directories will yield great results. Also you should submit variations of your original article as the major search engines may penalize your rankings for submitting duplicate content.
In addition to posting articles to directories, try and personalize and revise your article for blog entries, both for your blog and others. Articles can be used as content to create videos and shared with others in various social networking sites for a more potent marketing strategy. With some creativity one single article can be posted and revised to create traffic from many sources leading to great exposure and branding for the author.
