Do you have an idea for an internet business? Or would you like your current business to be more profitable? What would it take for you to see greater success? One of the best ways to get started is to follow a step-by-step course that outlines all the internet marketing basics. The key to success is to figure out which method really is the most effective.
To begin with, you will want to submit your articles to a website called Ezine Articles. Because of the authority of this site, Google ranks articles here higher than others. It likes anything from Ezine because the site requires original articles which cannot be found in other directories. So be sure to submit to Ezine first. You can even create a template so that your process is easier.
Once your article is approved, you can use that same article to create a webpage. You can rewrite your article and post it to your business blog. This gets your article out to your list.
Next, take the second version of your article and submit it to other article directories. I use Articles Base and Article Snatch in addition to posting on Ezine. I have noticed that my articles on these three sites routinely get ranked high in Google.
When you post, rotate your article titles and resource boxes. When you rotate your resource boxes, you use different backward links to direct traffic to your domain. This can also increase your rank in Google.
Submitting articles is a popular and effective way to drive traffic to your site and also get backlinks. All it takes is some well-written articles, submitted to just the right directories. Why not begin today?

Hi Steve and Kerry,
Another great post! I have taken the information you gave in such great detail in your recent CND Master Mind class about marketing through articles, and I’m getting click throughs to my site already, even after only submitting two articles!
It’s a great way to leverage my time, to give me content for both my own blog, and to submit to the wider world out there, through article submission.
More importantly I know it’s helping people through getting my message out there!
Thanks for keeping it simple, and easy to implement
Tanya
Thanks, Steve, for these great articles on the basics. I am completely new to internet marketing, but I KNOW it is the wave of the future, even for a photographer. And now, I’m off to write those articles for Ezine!
Agree…article is everything, and keypoint to build traffic website
I have seen the article marketing process really help in increasing search engine ranking. I also like IdeaMarketers.
I am a huge fan of submitting to Ezine. I know it has a lot of authority and gets my articles ranked quickly!
But I wasn’t familiar with Articlesbase and Article Snatch. Thanks! Also, are there any other article directories you would recommend?
Tanya,
Glad it helped. We missed seeing you at the London event. We’ll be back in London in July. I’ll send you the details and see if you’d like to join us.
