Many individuals spend their time on several different mediums for their online marketing efforts and one of these is article marketing. It's really common to hear friends ask - so does article marketing really work? Does it bring in the leads? Should I put in effort to create these articles? And my answer to that is always a definite YES...

So how do we answer the question - Does article marketing really work? To better understand this question, let's look at these areas. Let's take a look at articles as compared to other mediums of marketing.

Articles VS PPC - Although PPC ads are fast, easy and effective, they can also be extremely expensive. Additionally, most of these advertisements appear as sponsored links which might not appeal to some individuals. Article marketing on the other hand is generally free and if done right with SEO, there is a high probability that it will end up on the first few pages of the natural search, which gives any marketer a HUGE advantage.

Articles VS Video marketing - Video marketing is an extremely useful tool to help you drive traffic BUT the only problem is that many people are afraid of putting themselves out there for the world to see. The main advantage that article marketing has over video marketing is that you do not have to present yourself through a video but through your words instead.

Articles VS Social Media - Social Media involves building up relationships and friendships that require rather long periods of time. Article marketing allows you to target your audience and get their attention right away. People do not really have to know you too well before deciding to head to your site to learn more.

So if you judge for yourself, does article marketing really work? I would say that you should more or less know the answer by now, BUT I'm not going to end here, let's check out some additional advantages of article marketing.

• (1) Once you post articles, they tend to stay online forever. This means that once you have it in place, the article will be there generating readers and eventually leads for your business 24/7. A much better alternative than PPC campaigns where you will need to constantly pay for your ad to be seen, in terms of expenses, that is.

• (2) Articles bring is an increase in the number of back links to your site. With more and more articles going out, you can gradually accumulate a respectable number of back links to your site which will result in an increase in your site's search engine rankings.

• (3) Articles will also allow you to build customer loyalty and boost credibility when people search for your information in the search engines and find good and interesting articles written by you.

I hope that the article above has given you some insight on whether article marketing really works. Feel free to use the information above and share is with your other friends. If any of your pals or contacts come asking you the question:"Does article marketing really work?" you can simply give them this site's URL or, tell them what you have learnt yourself!
