How To Write Articles for Article Marketing?

Every internet business owner knows the importance of article marketing. It's a great and free way to bring targeted traffic to your site. However, merely writing articles with keywords and submitting them to different directories won't suffice. You need to know how to write to grab the attention of your readers and make them click on the link, in the resource box, to your website.

First thing you need to do is to provide quality information in your articles. Utilize this free way of attracting traffic wisely and don't take it for granted. A poorly written article will ruin your credibility and the reader will never want to visit your website.

So...How do you provide quality information? Make sure your readers learn something from your articles. Give your readers valuable insight of your field, relevant to the product you are selling.

Do not try to sell in your articles. Selling is done by your compelling copy. The main purpose of your articles is to make you look like an expert in your field. You can only achieve this goal by providing valuable information to your readers or target audience.

Proofread your articles to ensure that the flow of information is smooth. Each sentence should make sense and contribute to the over all quality of your article.

Once your readers realize you are an expert, they will click on the link to your site to learn more.

So...Write articles and prove yourself to be an expert in your particular field and bring lots of targeted traffic to your website.

How Can Freelance Writers Establish a Long Term Relationship with Their Clients?

One big benefit that freelance writers have - They work when they feel like working because they don't have a boss, or to say no sword hanging over their heads. However, just like everyone else, one thing that freelance writers want is a steady flow of cash. It is possible to earn a consitent income as a writer if you have clients who are giving you work on ongoing basis. In order to ensure you receive constant work from your previous clients, you must establish your credibility. Follow these simple suggestions to win the trust of your clients:

1) Make up your mind that you will always provide quality work. Never complete a task arbitrarily because you will never be able to provide quality. If you are bidding on a project or getting repeat business, make sure you have enough time in hand to complete it successfully. Don't try to get the project if you think you won't be able to provide quality content. Because if you do, first of all, they will never come back to you again. Secondly, their negative feedback will ruin your credibility and even other clients will hesitate to hire you.

2) Understand the requirements of your client thoroughly. It's been observed that writers won a project and later realized they were not capable of completing it successfully. For example, the client wanted a PowerPoint presentation with their articles but the writer didn't notice that when he was bidding and later when he found out about making slides, he didn't know what to do as he had never used PowerPoint before. Will the client ever come back to him again? Not at all.

3) Work closely with your clients. Make sure you know how your client wants you to orgainze the content. There is nothing wrong with editing a piece of work a few times to satisfy your client. Don't get irritated. Sometimes the clients don't even know what they are exactly looking for. So, after you write an article and orgainze and edit it a few times for them, they will be able to decide what format they want to use for their articles. Once you thoroughly understand their requirement, it will be easier for you to write other articles in the same style for them. Since you took time out to learn the format they needed, they will always come back to you for this type of work.

4) No project is small. If there is a project on a particular subject that you know very well, bid on it no matter how small it is. Don't always look for money because sometimes clients post small projects to examine new writers for their big projects.

As a freelance writer you must remember these points. Always think about establishing a long term relationship with your clients, no matter how small a particular project is. Win their trust and guarantee a consistent income every month.
