7 steps to Article Marketing
I ve just finished writing up my 7 steps to article marketing plan which at the moment is in the very early stages. I have had this idea for a while now and although through doing research I ve found many other blogs and websites which have a mass of information talking about article marketing. I thought that with my own personal experience and way of writing I will be able to make my 7 steps to article marketing a little different and a little unique.
This is basically an introduction to what is coming up in my 7 steps to article marketing and to tell you what the main titles will be for this series. You may know that I have an article series on going already called 11 things to consider before you start blogging which talks about my own personal mistakes that I have made since I first started blogging and shares my own advice on how to ensure you don’t make the same mistakes or others. Well this is going to be quite similiar in the way its written, I am a firm believer that something isn’t unique unless you add your own experiences, opinions or express something that you believe your self within your articles. So thats what I try to do in many of my articles.

I opted to add the last chapter because I thought, considering article marketing is so popular with affiliate marketers why not make one chapter totally focused on these people. Give out tips and advice from my own affiliate article marketing experiences to these marketers and hope that the things that I have learnt can help those too.
The first chapter will be written and uploaded someo time next week probably mid week (Wednesday or Thursday) so please look out for it. As well as this the next chapter of 11 things to consider before you start blogging will be uploaded Monday so again stay tuned and please subscribe to my RSS feed.
Enjoy your weekend and speak to you soon.

















Clearly article marketing is the best way to gain relevant back links. Additionally these back links are gained slowly, not explosively; a characteristic search engines look for. In a very short period of time, your site becomes an authority site, and organic listings develop. It is vital to include appropriate anchor text, and links in the author resource box.
