Structuring Your Article Marketing For Massive Results:

Keywords – The first step to creating an effective article is performing targeted keyword research aimed at capturing the attention and solving the problem of your audience. The main purpose of creating an article is to provide valuable content for your reader regarding their specific problem and/or situation that will need to get resolved. Without comprehending what your target audience is looking for online, article marketing will become a time consuming form of marketing producing very little results.

Key Topics – An article must have a minimum of three important topics to get across to your reader based on your keyword research. For example, a broad keyword must be broken down in your article content in order to better facilitate your target audience in their research online. Capturing the attention of a reader is the entire purpose of creating content for your article marketing. Nevertheless, the more relevancy your article has on the specific topic, the more you will captivate your audience and drive them to take action.

Headline – On every important but seemingly overlooked aspect of article marketing is the headline. An article headline must captivate the attention of the person looking for further information regarding their research. An enticing headline will sell the entire article and drive an enormous amount of readers to take action in your closing statement. A headline must numerously answer the question “So What!”. If this question can be answered with a benefit for your reader, the chance of capturing their attention increases exponentially.

Article Body – An articles body’s appearance is also very crucial in capturing the attention of a reader. Bullet points, numbers, and breaks in the article create a captive appearance in the reader’s eye as they find it more appealing. Articles that seem as running off into the abyss will lose the attention span of a reader and drive them to leaving your article without continuing to read further.

Closing Statement – In article marketing, a closing statement is what gives your reader a “Call to Action” regarding where you would like them to go. Whether it is different articles, a web page, a sign up form, an author MUST give a reader directions on what to do next after reading the entire article. The human mind is always in demand for more and more information but can never seem to steer itself without a form of guidance. That is when an author tells the reader what to do next by using a properly formatted closing statement and uses article marketing to drive the reader to their site, creating a consistent flow of traffic and increasing business.

Author Bio – An also very important section of an article is the author’s bio in which is located at the end, or bottom, of any article. In the author’s bio, the author gives the reader a full insight as to who the author is and their specific area of expertise in the business industry. This is also where the author will add their website link used to drive traffic to their main business.

Article marketing has countless advantages and can be used without limitation to drive an enormous amount of targeted, qualified traffic to any website. The key is proper structuring, copywriting skills, and the mastery of capturing the attention of an audience.
