Use Articles and Autoresponders
Article writing to market your blog, products or services is an excellent way to build your business.
Articles should:
- Be informative
- Provide the reader with resources
- Be relevant
Articles that are written for promotion normally contain a link to the website or the product or service that you are marketing. Also you can include an author box with more details about yourself.
This is not a post about how to write articles but I thought I will include three great tips I read once:
- Brainstorm
- Remove all the fluff
- Passion
These promotional articles are normally submitted to article directories, ezine publishers and article banks. It is a well known form of traffic generation but this is even more effective when combined with an autoresponder.
Follow these steps:
- Set up each article on your autoresponder. It is important that each article has its own autoresponder address. Aweber allows for this. Check your autoresponder.
- Make a master list of your articles with the autoresponder address for each article beside the title. You could even write descriptions for each article in your master list.
- You can promote your link to the master list. It won’t take as much time as promoting each individual article. Include this link in your blog/website and for maximum exposure, allow other marketers to use this as a free resource for their subscribers.
Personal Experience
I don’t know about you, but I own over 200,000 PLR articles on every topic and niche you can imagine.
I use my favorite article spinner for ideas how to re-write them. I use the articles, not fully spun but with the synonyms to give me ideas how to change the PLR articles.
You can follow during February when I will use the free publication that Article spinner gives to their subscribers “34-Days-to-7000-Daily-Visitors-Blueprint”
I also have listed in Fiverr (as an experiment) some articles on the following topics:
- Internet Marketing
- Personal Finance
- Weight Loss
- Dating and relationships
They are very good quality articles.
My intention is always to be open and fully disclose any adventures I am trying. This is my Fiverr™ account link

Regarding your three great tips, number 2 is “remove all the fluff.” What would be considered “fluff?” Some examples would be great 🙂
I know you are write, because I didn’t want to pad the article unnecessarily, I went too much the other way. For me fluff are certain words, facts and excess information that can easily be taken away to improve the flow of the article. I read once a tip that you should leave the article for a while and then come back to it and you see what you’ve written with fresh eyes.
I have never heard of FIVERRR. Will have to check it out. Thank you for the info.
Hi, Fiverr is great for those jobs you need doing quickly. Also Fiverr is great for PLR and unusual things.
this is quite informative. is there an automated way to submit article to different directories?
Yes there is, one of them is the spinner I use and there is some web directory submission software but you have to be careful which directories you submit your articles to. Some might considered quite low ranking and do more harm than good
I write loads of articles and submitting articles to directories is something I’ve know about for a long time so why don’t I submit my articles to them? Duh!!! Action needed. This was very useful and as you can see is a great motivator.
