You get the greatest benefit and long-term traffic to your website when you do marketing on the internet with articles. The main reason that people use the internet is to find information, by writing articles you provide exactly what is being looked for which makes article marketing one of the best techniques you can utilize.

Being a fast and talented writer are beneficial abilities, however you need not be that type of writer to create good articles. You are already knowledgeable in the subject matter of your site, you need only communicate about it.

A good place to find freelance writers is at www.help-2-succeed.com - it's a site that provides resources to help creative and talented folks to make a living with their art. Just send a request to find a freelance writer.

When you write articles, stay on the same topic as your website. Doing so will give you benefits such as a larger readership and more people to your site because of what you have to say. The people arrive to your article via the search engines, read what you have to say and then, wanting more info on the topic, click on your link in the resource box and arrive at your website.

One tip that is very important is to have a method that a person can sign up for your newsletter on your site. Providing a means for a person to gain more knowledge about your particular subject is vital because you will have a person that is in your niche that is interested and will buy from you because of the material that you write about. To make it easy to have people sign up, there is a great no cost service that you can utilize - go to www.messagebot.com, sign up for their service and you will receive the code that you can cut and paste into your website to help people sign up for your newsletter.

Some tips for writing a great article that will be read are:

- Limit the amount of words, stay in the range of 500-800 words

- Make small paragraphs

- Keep to the same subject of your website

Besides submitting your article to directories and blogs online, you can also create a newsletter to send to your mailing list with your article included. Also, there are websites where you can submit your newsletter. Here's some good places to do so:
