It is a fact that writing your own articles can bring in hundreds of new visitors/customers to your website.
The Internet is nothing else than a huge information database, explored by millions of people who are looking for information on specific topics.
When people come across your article and read your information, they will consider you as an expert. As someone who is experienced in your niche.
In return for sharing your knowledge with them, they will come to your website, and see what else you have to offer.
Another reason that articles can generate a lot of traffic, is that search engines love great content. Search engine spiders constantly crawl all over the web, looking for quality information to offer to their users.
If you can provide great content to the search engines, their users will be happy. And to reward you for delivering what people are looking for, they will give you a high listing.
As a result, hurdles of traffic (read potential buyers) will find your website.
An informative article, filled with lots of keywords and an attractive title, is the best guarantee to getting a lot of traffic, and this without paying for it.
One thing you need to understand, and that is that, everybody can write. Many people totally freeze up when they hear about writing. They believe that writing is an art.
Well, it's no art, it's fun!
The key to getting that first article out comes down to knowing what you are going to write about.
The following tips will help you get started:
- A good article tells the reader something that he/she did not know before. People reading articles expect to either learn something, or to be entertained, and in the ideal case, both.
So, always try to keep the readers attention.
You can be funny, or add a special comment. An article is also not a grammatical masterpiece. You don’t have to show off how good you are with word.
On the contrary; If you write like you speak to a real human, your readers will feel comfortable with you and your style.
- You should always write about something that you have a passion for. You may love playing golf, or have a passion for gardening.
Whatever it is, if you have a strong feeling for your subject (or niche), and you know something that other people may not know, then you have taken the first step to your new article.
- Once you know where to write about, you can use the search engines to do more research. The search engines are a great place to find inspiration.
Take notes. These notes will help you if you lack inspiration.
The more articles you write, the more likely it is that you will receive traffic to your website, and traffic means sales.
And the great thing is that, once you've written an article, it becomes a viral marketing tool for years to come. It is really that simple.
You just need to get yourself started.
