Article Marketing For Network Marketing Distributors

One of the best ways to generate leads for your network marketing business is to have prospects search for you in the search engines. The only challenge with this is many people have no idea how to get their websites listed high in the search engines. One way that I have found effective is article marketing.

So how does this work?

Let's say you are involved with a network marketing company that markets a weight loss product. Your goal is to attract prospects who are interested in losing weight. You can write an article about weight loss, place a link to your website at the bottom of the article and submit it to various websites all over the internet.

The first step is to write the article. You don't have to necessarily be a writing genius in order to write a good article. However, you do need to write well enough so that the article is readable and it will hold the interest of your prospect.

If you are able to write your own articles, this entire marketing strategy can be implemented for free if you want to. There are some tools that you can purchase that will make it significantly faster and easier as well.

If you don't write well or simply have no desire to write and would rather hire a professional to do it for you, I offer an excellent article writing service. I have written articles for distributors, attraction marketing training companies and even network marketing companies themselves. You can check out my company website for more information.

When writing your article, you want to make sure you include keywords and phrases that people who would be searching for what your company offers would type in. For example, if you offer a weight loss product, some of the keywords you may want to include are weight loss tips, fast weight loss, best weight loss program, etc.

You should select one main keyword for your article. That keyword should appear in the title of your article and several times throughout the body of the article. However, you don't want to overdo the use of the keyword. Otherwise the search engines will catch on to what you are doing and they won't include your article in their search results. Generally using the keyword once per every 100 words should be fine.

You then want to include other related keywords in the body of the article. These are other search terms that people might type similar to your main keyword. Sometimes people type in entire sentences and having other keywords besides your main keyword helps you to get listed for these long search terms.

Once you have the article written, the next step is to submit it to various article submission directories. The #1 directory that I recommend for submitting articles to is Ezinearticles. They have the highest pagerank, which is important for getting good listings in the search engines. They also have the highest amount of visibility as well.

Please note that it does take about a week for your article to be submitted and approved to this website. Once it is, it will be a part of their directory and people who are searching for the topics that you are writing about can find your article and if they want more information, click on your website.

There are a number of other directories that you can submit to after you get your article listed in Ezinearticles. Here is a list of some of the ones I like to use.

Goarticles
Articledashboard
ideamarketers

To make this easier for you, I highly recommend that you use an automatic article submission tool. This tool will allow you to submit your articles automatically to hundreds of directories giving you massive exposure to your website. The article tool that I prefer is Article Submitter by Brad Callen.

His Platinum tool is the best tool because you can do everything in one shot. However, if you are on a budget, when you get to his page, click on Home and at the time of this writing, he has a free submitter tool that you can use.

If you have your own blog, I highly recommend that you post your article to your own blog as well. One thing that you can do as well to get more results is to do a search for other blogs that are about the topic that you are interested in. You can go to Google Blog Search to do this.

What you then want to do is leave a comment about the blog entry posted there. However, instead of putting your name in the name field, put the keyword that you are looking to get listed for. So if your article is about the best weight loss program, in the name put in "Best Weight Loss Program."

If you do this everyday, you will increase the placement of your article in the search engines. I have literally gotten to the top 10 of the search engines just by using this one strategy.

Also, don't forget to social bookmark your articles as well. Go to websites like digg.com and submit your article to their directory. This will also help you to increase the placement of your article in the search engines.
