Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills.With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers.

Article marketing is one of the most reliable methods of traffic generation. The reason for this is that unlike search engine optimization you are not at the mercy of the latest algorithm changes. The more articles that you publish the more likelihood that your articles will be published on other websites increasing the amount of traffic sources for your business and ultimately your numbers for lead generation and sales.

In this article I would like to go over the three things that have helped me to significantly improve my efforts from article marketing.

1) Create a killer title for your article

When I first started doing article marketing I wrote very boring titles. When I started to write interesting titles I noticed that the results for my articles doubled or tripled. This will have a measurable impact on your article marketing efforts. If your title is boring nobody will actually read your article.

2) Send your traffic to a squeeze page

One of the biggest mistakes that most internet marketers make is that they send all their traffic to a sales page. Very few people will actually buy from a sales page page the very first time that they see it. The reason for this is that you need to first build trust and credibility with your visitors. They need to have at least seven email contacts with you before you can do a hard sell to a subscriber. So by sending all your traffic to a squeeze page it will help you to significantly improve your conversion and to also build a list of highly targeted prospects that you can convert to customers.

3) Offer a free ebook that your prospect can download

One of the steps that I noticed significantly improved my conversion of visitors to subscribers is that by offering an ebook it was seen as a lot more valuable than a free report.
