First I will go over article writing methods and then article promotion strategies.
Article writing: Step one- Create a title for your article. You can get the title for your article writing by going to adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. The green lines shows the competition for that keyword and the other green line shows the search volume. Pick the smallest green line to start with.
Article writing: Step two- Create your introduction. In article writing your introduction should tell the reader what your article is about. The introduction should also point out benefits to be derived by the reader should they decide to read the rest of the article. Your introduction is for “bullet” points also known as teasers to arouse the readers interest to read the rest of the article.
Article writing: Step three- Create the body of the article. This is the section to go into detail about the main topic of the article. Be creative and have a flow that can easily be followed. By now you have the reader’s attention and your goal is to keep going to the conclusion and your resource box which is your final call to action is located.
Article writing: Step four- Your conclusion must summarize the benefits in the body of your article into one short paragraph. Your conclusion must be good enough to make the reader want to find out more information your website by clicking on the link in your resource box. The resource box is simply the section that let the reader know your brief background and skills and your website URL.
Marketing an internet business by writing an article will not be complete without an effective article promotion strategy. Your unique article now needs to be submitted to article distribution directories. The key is to get your article into thousands of websites that needs content. The websites that use your article also agree to display your resource box with your website URL. Now when the search engines see your website URL on so many other websites based on a certain keyword your internet business will start getting a share of visitors seeking information about that specific keyword. The top article distribution directories from my experience are Articlesdynamic.com, EzineArticles.com, Articlesinsync.com, and Articledashboard.com. After submitting to these four directories, you can also submit to other lesser known directories. In about a week or two types in the title of your article in Google or yahoo and see how many websites are displaying your article to the World Wide Web.
Article writing and article promotion can be an effective strategy to use in marketing an internet business. Be concise and give the reader what information they seek and a large percentage will visit your website giving you the opportunity to sell them your products or you can make money when they click on the Google ads displayed on your site. The key is to get visitors to your site and what happens after that is full of limitless possibilities.

Impact of Internet on Marketing Research
March 27th, 2010
Marketing research has been around for a very long time. It comes in many different forms and has been used in different ways throughout the years, but is really meant for one thing. It helps to increase the profitability of your marketing efforts through testing and fact finding. Up until a few years ago this research has all been done in the same basic fashion, but the Internet has changed a lot of things. What has been the impact of Internet on marketing research?
The Internet has brought millions of people from all walks of life together within reach of any marketer. By doing this it has provided a brand new platform on which to test out new and existing products and services. People have taken advantage of this, not only for the speed in which things can be tested but because of the diversity in which they can be tested. Something else was born out of all of this marketing research online, the affiliate marketer.
It is impossible for any one business online to cover all of his bases. There are just far too many variables involved for them to be able to reach all of the people that are in their target market. That is why many of them have turned to using affiliate marketing business promotion on the Internet (online). By doing so they are reaching an even wider market that still is targeted for their particular product or service. Even though they are paying a high commission to their affiliates, they can still retain the customer and make all of the profit on any back end products that they may offer. The Internet has certainly changed the way that many people do business. It all comes down to marketing research, however, and now the speed at which it can be done. As the Internet continues to evolve we will see even more changes in the way that research is being accomplished and it promises to help us all in our marketing efforts.

Internet Marketing Newbies – 3 Simple Rules
March 11th, 2010
If you are an Internet Marketing Newbie, then it is quite possible that your head is about to explode at any minute from the billions of web pages promising to show you the way to Internet Marketing riches. Well, here is one more page. I am hoping though, that this page will do more harm than good and that your head will stay in one piece while reading this article. So sit back and relax and take in 3 Simple rules that all Internet Marketing newbies should follow.
Rule 1: Slow Down. Many people, when they start marketing on the internet, just jump right in and start flailing around like a six year old at the public pool. Internet Marketing is a skill that needs to be learned and tweaked and constantly adjusted. You need to understand what you are doing before you try to do it.
Rule 2: If you are looking to get rich quick, play the lottery. There are so many websites and products out there promising to make you rich if you just follow their system or buy their tool. But, you probably are not going to get rich quick. You can make money and you may eventually make a lot of money, but won’t happen overnight and it won’t happen by accident, you need to know what you are doing.
Rule 3: Don’t check your values at the door. What image does this phrase conger up: Used Car Salesman! Let’s just say that many people don’t get a very, um, positive picture in their head when they think of a Used Car Salesman. It is VERY easy to forget all your manners and ethics and values when dealing with people on the internet. After all, you’re probably never going to see them face to face so what does it matter if you sell them something that may not really be all that it says it is. You must maintain your integrity as you grow your internet marketing business.
I am a firm believer that there is a lot of money to be made on the Internet and almost all of it will be related to internet marketing. So have hope and confidence that if you adhere to these 3 simple rules and work diligently, that you will one day simply be an Internet marketer and not an Internet Marketing Newbie.
