Don't be too concerned if you don't think you are good at writing articles, they don't need to be perfect. All you need to do is to give your reader useful information. If you can help them and give them the solution that to solve their problems faster, you will make a lot of money.

Your articles don't need to be extremely long but most article directories will have a minimum word of around 250 words.

With article marketing, you can promote your own product, affiliate products, your website or your blog. In fact, you can promote everything under the sun. Just be sure to add a bio box with a link to your web property.

Article Marketing Secrets Exposed - Learn How To Promote Your Articles Online

One of the biggest aspects of article marketing that you need to learn how to master is the distribution of your articles. The main reason for this is that the more noise that you make in the marketplace the more successful the promotion of your website will be.

Now one of the most frequently questions that many marketers ask me is what is the best way to submit their articles. Is it to submit it to many of the directories or only the popular ones?

Based on my experience I would like go through some of the results that I experienced. When I first started using this method of marketing I was submitting my work to a number of directories. Now these backlinks from the directories did help my search engine rankings. I also found that more publishers actually published my articles consequently generating more quality one way links pointing to my website.

However, the disadvantage was that I did not get much traffic from these. I did get a few hits here and there, but I would not say that this was worth the time that I spent submitting to these directories.

So I have found the strategy of submitting to the most popular article directory gets me enough traffic without spending too much time submitting. In fact submitting alone can become a full time job if you do not manage it correctly.

If you do plan on submitting to some of the other directories I seriously suggest that you consider using software like Article Post Robot as this will save you a lot of time with your submissions.
