Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills.With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers.

Article marketing is of course the process of writing informative articles about your niche topic, adding a link to your web site or squeeze page to the article, and submitting the articles to the various online article directories.

One of the most important things to realize is that you should choose a method of article submission are you attempting to create immediate direct traffic by writing a lot of articles and submitting them to the highest-traffic article directories, or are you more interested in writing a small number of articles and submitting them to a large number of article directories, for the purpose of creating massive numbers of backlinks and subsequently search engine traffic to your web site.

So what are your steps to success with article marketing?

1) You must be able to set goals and then follow them through, regardless of whether or not you feel like it. You see, if you want to write 200 articles this month, but do not set a schedule, or require yourself to write when you do not feel well, you will not get to 200 articles this month. If you agree with yourself that you are going to write 10 articles per day, 20 days a month, you have to follow through on that. I find that as simple as this is, it is the number one limiting activity that people do to fail at article marketing.

2) You must learn to write articles quickly. Follow this format: type up 10 article titles before you begin, then under each article title, type in 3 supporting points for each title. Next, all you have to do is teach of explain each of the supporting points, then add an introduction to each one, and presto! you have a set of ten articles.
