I find that writing articles based on my own knowledge and life experiences is
best means of internet marketing. In other words, you are BRANDING yourself. Writing down information (valuable), that can inform and most importantly, HELP others through SHARING. A few words of advice here...Just write in your own UNIQUE and distinctive style - what comes naturally to you. Be yourself in your writing and you will find that
words will flow. Use your individual area of expertise (and/or interests) to help others through sharing your unique knowledge and experiences of
magical journey that is life.
Then submit your articles to relevant ezines in your area of interest or expertise, and/or publishers resources - lists like Shelley Lowery's Article Announce, Mike Valentine's Free- Content, Angela Giles-Klocke's TheWriteArticles, PromoteYour Article and Free-eContent. All very useful lists, that we regularly use.
Their web adresses are:
http://www.egroups.com/group/article_announce TheWriteArticles@yahoogroups.com http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/Free-Content Also, Publisher Network: publisher_network@egroups.com PromoteYourArticle@yahoogroups.com Free_eContent@yahoogroups.com and finally ArticlePublish@yahoogroups.com.
They are all an excellent source of information and many ezine publishers source relevant articles from these lists. Sometimes even ezines with huge readerships pick up articles.
I believe that this strategy is
most effective form of TARGET MARKETING... that get's us
best results on a very limited advertising budget (like most start up home online businesses)... and best of all it's BRANDING oneself through free advertising.
A few final words to summarise...
