The History of Article Marketing (Part 1of 2)
Article marketing has been around for nearly as long as
the Web has been around, even though the web certainly
wasn’t invested for marketing purposes! In the beginning,
back in the 90’s), people were very involved with sharing
information with one another. I recently read some place
that this sharing activity was sometimes referred to as
"the spirit of the Internet," and, to some extent, that
spirit still exists today. Mind you, it isn't always quite
as obvious as it was back then.
The Internet was configured for the free and fast exchange
of information. People wrote articles on a variety of
subjects, for the purpose of sharing information and for
educating others. Initially, there weren’t any article
repositories, as such. As a matter of fact, the newsletter,
also referred to as an ezine, came into play earlier than
article banks or repositories.
So, in the early days of the web, if you wanted to share
an article with the online community, you placed it on
your website, or in a Usenet newsgroup, or a newsletter.
Eventually, people allowed other newsletter publishers to
use their articles, and in this way the author’s resource
box was born.
Since articles had such an impact, well-informed marketers
saw the potential for writing and distributing articles.
They quickly saw this as an effective way to promote their
businesses. They began writing and distributing articles
on a regular basis. In this way, article marketing was
born, even though it wasn’t necessarily called that back
then.
The articles were formatted in much the way that they are
formatted today, except that html tags were not used. In
other words, articles were all basic text, just as many
are today. However, while links in articles are usually
hyperlinked today, they were not hyperlinked back then.
In case you aren't aware of it, when a link is hyperlinked,
the reader can simply click on it and visit the webpage.
When it is not hyperlinked, the reader must copy and paste
the URL into their web browser, or type it in.
Over time, marketers realized that copywriting skills were
valuable in article marketing. Those skills helped in writing
outstanding, attention getting headlines, and in creating
an effective author resource box.
The early articles were usually of very high quality, even
though marketers did largely write them to promote their
businesses. The "spirit" of the free information-sharing
internet was very strong!

What Is Article Marketing? (Part 2)
Hi Everyone,
Circulating an article can be a very time consuming task. A lot
of people outsource this chore, and pay for someone else to
distribute the article. Other people do it themselves, with software
that automates the process. However, many of the best article
repositories do not approve articles that are auto-submitted. So,
keep this in mind when you decide on how you are going to
submit your articles. In the end, the manual submission of articles
is always the best.
Basically, you visit each article website, either sign up for a new
account or log on, and copy and paste all of the information into
a form that is supplied for article submissions. A lot of article
repositories have a manual approval procedure, so it can take at
least a week before your article appears on the site.
Once you have submitted your article to the article repositories,
you may want to present it to newsletter publishers. I'm referring
to those newsletters and ezines that cover issues within your
niche. You should consider creating your own database of those
publishers. You will find them by frequenting newsletter directories.
Look first for newsletters in your niche, and check out whether
they accept articles. Then, you can load those article submission
email addresses into your autoresponder, and each time you
compose a fresh article, send it off to them, requesting publication.
Another step you can take, is visiting forums that interest your
target market. For example, If your niche is weight loss, you can
visit weight loss forums, and see if they accept articles. If so,
submit your article to those forums. If not, then simply put the
article on your own website or blog. You should still consider
signing up to those forums, because it is perfectly acceptable to
make a post and then mention in your signature, that you have
an article about the subject on your website. Make sure that you
also place a link in your signature, so that people can then go to
your website or blog and read the article.
Oh yes, one more thing, please make certain that your post is
relevant to the topic being discussed, and that it provides useful
information.
Finally, I am not a great fan of forums, myself. I find that they can
become very wasteful of my energy and too time consuming. So,
be careful of them, and always be mindful of your main purpose
and focus.
All the best,
Laurie
