Article Marketing-A Must for Online Success

This post is solely to inform you about the benefits of online article marketing. In the near future we plan to have an entire tab dedicated to posts about article marketing, and these will go in much greater detail about the best and most effective ways to use article marketing. But for now this is just a brief intro on what online article marketing is, and how it can be very helpful for your online business.

Article marketing is a type of advertising in which businesses or people promoting a business write short articles related to their respective industry. These articles are published to online article submission sites, for example ezinearticles.com (we will be producing a detailed list of some of our favorite article submission sites shortly) and are available to anybody on the internet. Article Marketing allows online business owners to promote their products, services, or website with a more personal and informative feel. The key to online article marketing is to write quality content based articles, with links pointing back to your website or the website/product you are promoting. Quality written articles will gain credibility and attract more readers, this will ultimately lead to more exposure for your business.

With article marketing you can generate positive advertisement for your website or business by writing quality articles that relate to what your customers desire. Too often people will write articles with poor content and only focus on providing a link back to their pitch page or money making website, that's the ultimate strategy yes...but you have to try harder than that. People understand what online articles are for, but they also seek to use them for true information. Heck, a decently written article could even get others to link to it if it relates to their topic of business, just for some reinforcement for them. In that case, somebody else will be helping to promote your article and business.

The bottom line is that nowadays if you are seeking to make money online, no matter how that is, you've got to have some quality internet marketing, and article marketing is a vital part of that. Writing numerous articles that relate to topics of your business will allow you to diversify your advertising efforts. Providing links from these articles to your website, blog, forum, shopping site, product pitch page, etc. will be very beneficial and generate quality traffic, but you've got to focus on the most important aspect, the content.

Now that you understand what article marketing is and what it can do for your business, we suggest you do some more research to learn the techniques to mastering this advertising art. Stay passionate about what you are doing, write honest content, seek to inform before you sell, that's the ultimate key.

We will be providing more in depth detail about article marketing in the days and weeks to come. Hopefully this brief intro opened your eyes to a very useful tool.

Be Careful To Whom You Give Your Email

I'm sure you've all at some point received an email from somebody you didn't know, offering you some crazy product or trying to refer you to a website you've never heard of. This type of an email is known as spam. We've all heard of spam, and most of our email accounts trap or delete spam automatically, but there's always a few bugs that make it in.

Spam is an email that is sent out in mass quantities to hundreds, even thousands of people with the intent to get a few to sign up or visit the website they are promoting. Basically these emails are sent by companies, or someone who is affiliated with a certain company with intentions on making money. It is sometimes referred to as email marketing.

These spammers or "email marketers" get access to your emails in a number of ways: First, If you visit a promotional website, a product pitch page, or sometimes even some legit business sites, you are often asked to give them a valid email address before making any purchases or continuing into deeper content on the web page. Sometimes there is simply the option of signing up for a newsletter or some sort of contact list. Have you ever noticed that after entering your email into one of these sites you've been bombarded with mass emails almost daily? Both from the website you visited and even websites you've never been to.

This is because these sites not only store your email for their own use, but also sell your information to other email marketing efforts or share it with partners. This is how other websites and spammers get your email...thus starting the chain reaction of unwanted spam mail.

If you are on a website where they are asking for an email, you've got to think before you act. First off, is this a legitimate website, like a business or a community page or something...if so chances are they won't be using your email for spamming purposes. If it's a website that seeks to sell something with a pitch page or requires that you enter your email right away, chances are you will be subject to some spamming by both them and whoever the give your information too.

Now this isn't terrible, and it's unfortunately legal haha, but It is definitely annoying, I mean do these people truly think the majority of internet users will respond to mass, ridiculous sounding emails? So if you are out there on the internet searching around for different products..especially online income systems, just be safe and cautious when it comes to giving out your email...nothing bad will happen, but you will get poured on by spam mail if you're not careful.
