Using The Write Way To Market Your Business Online

It's been long known in the home business and Internet Marketing circles that one of the most effective, economical and powerful ways to create an additional income stream or market your website, products or services is article marketing!

In the old days of Internet, I had to do my article marketing manually, now there are some real "tricks to the trade" that most people still haven't discovered yet.In this article, I am going to show you what they are, how can they help you in delivering a whole new level of simplicity and power toward your article marketing effective, and to achieve your marketing business online success.

Step 1: Write One Article Per Week


When you write your articles, keep it short and informative (good to keep it between 500-750 words), present solutions to problems that people in your niche are looking for, or, have trouble solving it by themselves.

At the end of the article, include an author (your own information) "resource box" which contains a link to your website or blog.

Here are the benefits you will gain by write one article per week.

a) As your articles spread across the web (I'll show you how to do it in a minutes), more and more people that interested in your niche will read it.They will come across your name and your content again and again.This could help you establish yourself as an expert in your niche.

People are not only read your articles, they are also learn and observe you, after they see you know what you are talking about; they will come to TRUST you.Once you have built trust among the readers, they will start next move - they will either buy from you (if you have a product or service to sell), or they will listen to your recommendations - and buy through your affiliate links if you are in the affiliate marketing business.

b) Search engines will fall in love with your articles and your unique content; as a result, massive back-links to web pages to increase your position on search engine results pages can be created, at the same time, you can also earn as a true authority on your particular niche.That's when your site gets listed at or near the very top of the search results for all your best search words.

I believe writing articles is not the problem for you; however, the things are really count is what you do with them.

Step 2: Submit the Articles Intelligently


In order for this "writing" strategy to really work, you need to get your articles out there, and get it published by hundreds of directories, blogs, ezines and websites toward your niche.

This is what usually stops people dead in their tracks.

Submitting your articles manually would be very time consuming, scratch that, you would need a crew of about ten people doing it as a full-time job.It is not only involving lots of work and energy, it will also give you lots of headaches because every time you finish a new article you'd have to start the entire process all over again.Plus, search engines are getting tougher and tougher on duplicate content.Thus you really need to send a different unique article to each place when you submitting your articles.

Don't get discouraged if it's starting to sound like a mountain of work to you, I totally understand you concern.That's why you really need a way to automate your article submissions.

There are programs and services available to do that for you.However, you need to be careful and get alert here.I've tried many of them and most of them fall far short of their promises.You know, some even get your site in trouble for duplicate content.

Rather than review all the different choices for article distribution and submission, I'll go right to an article submission service that's sort of an under-the-radar right now.If you do a little research on it, you'll find that it's far ahead of the rest of the pack.In fact, my own research uncovered many websites are using this article submission service - Article Marketer.I also use their service as well.AM intelligent service submits your articles in a unique manner, plus they have a very large network of article directories that they can get your articles out there quickly.

Okay, now you know how to submit your articles and an easy way to automate the task, there's only one more thing you have to do.

Step 3: Rinse and Repeat


That's right, like any great marketing strategy, it's only effective if you stick with it and write it frequently.

You can outsource your writing project to others if you want or you can spend a few hours a week write it by yourself.But the key is to stick with it!

Write one fresh article every week and use AM to submit it to the web.If you want to do your submissions manually, that's fine too - but you have to do it regularly!

Whether you've never tried article marketing strategy or you've tried them, it is a fact that articles can yield immediate traffic and sales.

How To Recession Proof Your Fitness Business

Despite what you may be experiencing, thinking or feeling about the current recession, there are still huge profits to made working in personal training and fitness.

In fact, you could say that there has never been a better time for the industry than right now, after all, whilst many other 'luxuries' like buying cars, taking vacations and even dining out may be on pause right now, people don't simply quit their fitness, nutrition and rehab programs solely because of money.

How people feel about their bodies will never change, recession or not.

They will ALWAYS want to look, feel and perform better than they currently do and, whilst they may temporarily 'downgrade' a personal training package to a bootcamp or bootcamp to a gym membership to allow it to fit into their new budget, it's very rare that a person will quit their health and fitness goals entirely because money is tight.

(They'll quit for a thousand other reasons if they're not committed to their goals, but that's a different article!).

Most personal trainers and bootcamp instructors don't get this at all.The typical reaction amongst the vast majority of them is to batten down the hatches, reduce their outgoings by saving money on their marketing and hope that they can weather the economic storm well enough to start attracting clients 'once things settle down'.

The trouble is, this is 180 degrees in opposition to what they really should be doing...Marketing harder than ever!

You see, rather than the recession being a bad thing, you need to realise that it is, in fact, a brilliant opportunity for you and your business.

Think about it; because most of the business competitors in your market are reducing their marketing budggets, putting their client attraction strategies on the go-slow and waiting for the recession to burn itself out, they are decreasing rather than increasing their own visibility.In effect, they're creating a vaccum in the fitness market.

Where the public used to have 50 trainers, studios and gyms to choose from, they now have only 10 or so.Where there used to be bundles of ads, flyers and direct mail pieces vying for their attention, now there are far, far fewer messages reaching them, meaning that each one can be heard more clearly and have much greater impact.

Most fitness professionals don't get this, though those who have ventured byond the 'personal trainer' label and have developed a more entrepreneurial mindset certainly do...and they take advantage of it, enjoying the less competitive playing field while it lasts.

The trouble is, most of those who work in fitness and health lack the entrepreneurial drive necessary to succeed when times get tough.They can't see past the fact that their role is more than just writing exercise programs, spotting on exercise routines or writing nutritional programs.It's about leadership.

Leadership is about using your passion and purpose in a focused, clear and results-oriented way that inspires others to follow and take positive action themselves.Rolling over and playing dead during times of struggle or adversity is not leadership in any way, shape or form.It doesn't teach your clients to stick with their goals when things get tough for them does it?In fact, it sets an example that when things get tough with their programs, their diets, their lifestyles that they too should quit and try again 'when the time is right'.

Is that what you want to teach your clients?Thought not!

So instead of getting caught up in the 'woe is me' recession-based conversations that are going around at the moment, take a 180 and focus on the opportunities that currently lie before you because there really are many, many of them...if you'll only open your eyes to them.

Forget reducing your marketing commitments right now, instead, ramp them up.Do more.Become more visible now than you ever have before.Get creative and most of all, have fun with it.

The truth is, no matter what you've been told about becoming successful, no matter how many self-help books you've read, no matter how many motivational seminars you've attended and tapes you've listened to, there really is only one way to become unstoppable in your quest for fitness business success.

Refuse to stop.

Now is the time to hit the gas, not the brakes.

Floor it!
