Here are some of the reasons why you need to do Article Marketing:

1. Reputation:

By using article marketing, you can easily build your reputation online. If people want to join your list or buy something from you, they will usually Google your name first. If you show up with some great articles and helpful advice, people will trust you more and are more likely to listen to what you have to say.

2. Long Term Free Advertising:

Once you submit your article to the article directories, it will be there for a long time, and if you have some good keywords in your article and some valuable content, it will move up the search engines and more people will see and read it. Best of all you have an advert running for you for free, and you can concentrate on other things.

3. Backlinks:

This is one of the best reasons that you need to start off on article marketing. Once you publish your article, there are many website owners that are looking for quality content for their websites. If anybody publishes your article, your resource box will be used and in this way you get quality back links to your own website.

So now is the time to start submitting your content to as many article marketing sites as you can. Remember that article marketing is a long term strategy and you mustn't expect to see great results with doing just one article. You will need to get quite a few articles out there before you will see a big difference to your traffic.
