Here are the 5 keys that can help you succeed in article marketing:

1. Write as many quality articles as you can. The success of article marketing relies on the number of your articles and their quality. When online users see that you have so much quality information to share, they will tag you as an expert on your chosen field. This can lead to increase number of your following.

2. Fill your articles with relevant keywords. To make your articles highly visible on search engines, sprinkle just the right amount of keywords on your content. Make sure that the keywords that you use are those that are being search for by your target market.

3. Provide your readers with powerful summary or conclusion. Provide your readers with a recap on important points that you have raised on your articles. This will make them remember your ideas for a longer period of time.

4. Cross reference your articles. Make it easier for your readers to access your other articles by inserting their links on the current article they are reading. This is the best way to "upsell" your other articles.

5. Widely distribute your articles. Aside from publishing sites like ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com, syndicate your articles and post them on ezines, blogs, or compile them to create an eBook. To reach more audience, I suggest that you make this eBook available for download and ask your readers to share it with their friends and family members.
