There is a long list of article marketing dos and don’ts, however, it would take a life time to show them all to you. So what I have done, is compiled a list of the top 10 things you should not do when writing your articles. After you finish reading this article, you will be able to, with great confidence, and ability write your articles properly.
1.Don’t use an article spinner to create your articles
Using an article spinner to create your articles will create a lot of unreadable material that is considered junk, and spam to all the top article directories.
2.Do write your own articles, or have full rights to the articles that you submit.
Writing your own articles is the best way to create content for article directories and your own websites. However, if you are to hire out your article writing efforts then make sure that you own 100% rights to the articles that you receive. Because if you don’t own the rights, then the same article is going to start showing up all over the place with different names in the byline.
3.Don’t sell anything in your article body.
When you write articles, you are trying to inform your readers about a certain topic that will hopefully help them out. Most articles that sell in the article body are usually not taken well by the readers, and article directories alike. If you are submitting articles to the top article directories such as articlebase they will automatically reject your article for selling in the body.
4.Do write quality content that will help your readers so you can gain loyal followers.
Your first and foremost responsibility as an article writer is to help your readers out by writing quality helpful articles for them to read. Writing junk articles is not going to make people want to come back and read more of your articles. A good impression is always the best impression to give your readers. Do this, and you will see an increase in readership, as well as more quality traffic to your websites from the articles you submit.
5.Don’t write for the search engines.
Writing for the search engines mean stuffing your articles full of keywords so the engines will see your article and rank it for the keywords you have selected for your article. However, with new and improved technology, this can no longer be the case. Even Google is now cracking down on junk articles by counting the keyword density, if it is to high, or abnormal, it will take it off of the search results, and bury it so no one is going to be able to find it.
Plus, the top article directories, usually use a keyword density formula, and will reject articles that seem spammy.
6.Do write for humans, so that the article flows naturally and is readable.
Since you want to get people to read your articles, and get them to your website, you need to write for them. This means keep the keywords to a minimum, at about 1% when writing for article directories.
Just write naturally as if you were talking to a person, this makes the article more conversational, and easier to read in the long run.
7.Don’t write inconsistently
When a person writes inconsistently it means they are not doing it on a regular basis. Yes we all have lives outside of our business, however, we still need to set aside sometime each and everyday to work on your business to allow it to grow.
This means writing on a regular basis. If you do this, in return you will see your business grow and flourish beyond your wildest dreams.
8.Do write something every day.
What do I mean by writing something everyday? Well, this means that you need to write articles every single day, and submit them to at least 1 article directory that very same day.
9.Don’t write about a topic before you have knowledge about it.
Yes there are lots of writers out there that write content for other people, or clients, and submit them on their behalf. However, no one is knowledgeable about every little thing. Which means if they try to write an article about a subject they know nothing about, its going to come out as garbage, and what Google likes to call scrape content. So do yourself a favor, and do your research before hand.
10.Do your research on any topic before writing about it.
The last thing you want to do when you are writing an article, is to be lazy. This will not only show up in your work, but your readership will drop off, and you will hurt your own ability to be an expert in your chosen topic. If this happens, you can say good bye to your future in this line of business. This means, don’t be lazy, take the time to do a little research about what you are writing about. Even if you are knowledgeable about the topic, it doesn’t hurt to find some new information on it that you can share with your readers.
Now that you have gone over this list of article marketing dos and don’ts you should have no problem creating articles, and marketing them without creating the mistakes that so many people have, and still do to this very day.
