7 Killer Steps to Get Your Articles Read

For the longest time that I was writing articles I had these thoughts and feelings that I was getting lost. Ok, maybe not me but sure in the fact my articles. I started looking everywhere online for tips to get your articles read and could not really find any good roadmaps so I made my own. I gave myself a challenge with the understanding that if I was wondering and feeling this way, that there were others out there like me. I went back and dissected my old articles and compared which ones were getting a ton of views and which ones just stunk to high heaven. After this I was able to come up with what I feel are the 7 Killer Steps to Get Your Articles Read and have been seeing phenomenal results ever since.

If you are writing articles as part of your marketing, you know that there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of articles out there just like yours. Are you wanting to know how you can get your articles read and how to get them to stand out, I know I wanted to; so this is why I bring you this article.

Create your own style

You need to create your own style of writing, we all have different styles and you will find yours that makes you feel like you own it. Different styles will help relate differently to certain people, this will help them remember you. If you are new to writing, I would suggest doing yourself a favor and spend some time investigating a few different styles and authors and see what in their article relates to you. You can take a few different ideas from different authors and create your own, never copy someone else's style totally.

Genuine is Key

In lament terms, do not copy and paste or even change one or two sentences in a paragraph of some other authors work and slap your name on it. First of all that is just rude, second of all it is not genuine. Your articles need to be your content, now you can read a few articles, watch a few videos or read a book on your subject for ideas but definitely put your article in your own words and give

Smoke the Competition

Want to have more people read your articles? Then write better articles. You need to know what your competitors are writing about and how they are portraying the information. Read their articles and find out what relevant information they failed to mention and educate the reader on. Use this to your advantage and then smoke the competition.

Be the Magnet

Building your articles with very relevant and educational content is one step closer to becoming a magnet. When you are the magnet in your niche, people will start tripping over themselves to get to you and the content you provide. Provide content that not everyone else is providing and watch your followers and stats skyrocket.

Live to Learn

Obtain the mindset that you need to improve every day, watching educational videos, and masterminding with likeminded people. There is not one of us on the beautiful world of ours that knows everything. When you learn something new, have a passion to find someone that would benefit from your teaching them. Every time you write an article you need to give valuable content that teaches someone about your topic.

Stay the Course

I see so many people that just write a few good articles and boom, it's like they just fell off the face of the earth; what happened to them and why did they stop? You have got to stay the course, continue to write articles on your niche and have a passion to write 1-2 articles a day. Let's compare the following two people and see which one would have better results.

Fred from Franklin - Fred has wrote roughly 20 really good articles on "How to have a greener lawn" and submitted these 20 articles to only one article submission site

Catherine in South Carolina - Catherine has written about 40 articles on the same subject but she made the decision to submit to more than just one site. She submitted these same articles to 50 different article submission sites and she then republishes them as she finds new sites.

Who has more exposure, who has stayed the course and who is deemed more the "expert"?

As I have said before

Title, title, and oh yeah title. I have written a few articles on why your title is so important, if you have missed them, track them down. Your title is so important, your title is the first thing that people see, and at that point they decide to click on the article or move on. We all see hundreds of titles every day, just look on the wonderful world of Yahoo, MSN or any other major site. What grabs your attention, think of why it grabbed your attention, the title caught your eye and you wanted to read what it said.

Here is my angle on all of this

I am very passionate about what I do, and if you are wondering; that means this is the first article you may have read of mine. I focus my energy on showing others how to really market themselves and any opportunity that they may have for the world. I am very successful with my article and internet marketing and I help others become successful as well with my many tips, tricks and tweaks. I am constantly embracing new ideas and masterminding with some of the world's best marketing minds to enhance my knowledge to pass along to others. I orchestrate my articles and my marketing in a way that the reader gets relevant and beneficial information.

Board / Card games for entrepreneurs? - Ok so this one is a little off topic but I'm curious to find out your thoughts: What are your favorite board and card games? My wife and I enjoy playing games together and are always on the hunt for new ones. There's a great cafe in Toronto called Snakes & Lattes which has over 2,000 games to play while you relax with friends and have a drink (we actually just came back and usually go every couple of weeks). Three of our favorites right now are: * Ticket to Ride * Pandemic * Killer Bunnies Are you into board and card games? Which are your favorites?
Re: How can I promote my site? - Hey, Since your site is a video sharing site, I would suggest you to use Chill .com it will be really helpful I can assure if used effectively. Try to bookmark each of your video URL on top social bookmarking sites and share in social networks. Apart from that you can also write few articles related to the video say 2-3 and submit to top article sites like Ezine Articles, Articles Base. Make a guest post in a related niche blog and frame a interesting post with catchy title and in the end you can mention how will it be useful watching the video to understand and post the link.
Re: Looking for a Blog topic? - Great advice GT. This and every other quality forum, every book you read, every article or website can be a source for your own writing. Find a topic, blog about it and LINK BACK to the source (or acknowledge the author if it is a book - or add an Amazon link). Every time you link out a good site you are giving your readers value. Don't worry about losing traffic or getting/not getting back-links. Just DO IT! It will make your blog much more informative and therefore more valuable and more attractive. The best blogs always have tons of links heading out to whatever good stuff the blogger finds. Read, learn, write, link. Read, learn... etc.
Re: Drop out Billionaire - I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back. It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week. He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation. His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.
