How to Get Your Content on the Internet Quickly and Easily

Some marketers know how to write good content, but then make the mistake of not doing enough with it. Every article you write has the potential to do so much more for you in building your on-line reputation, establishing your credibility and bringing qualified traffic to your Web site.

Start by identifying the top 10 problems in your clients' life; and then writing an article for each. Now let's look at a systematic approach to use each of these articles to boost your on-line presence. I'll tell you what to do, although you might have to talk to your webmaster or IT folks on how exactly to do some of these things.

1. Publish it directly.

Take one article a month, and publish it in the two obvious places first: Your e-mail newsletter and your blog.

You don't have to publish it in both places at the same time. If you stagger them, say, about a week apart, the people who subscribe to both the blog and newsletter don't get the same content twice on the same day.

Extra bonus points if you also publish the article to an article directory, like EzineArticles.com.

2. Automatically publish it to social media platforms.

You can set up your blog so that every new blog post goes to Twitter and Facebook (Use the simple Twitter-feed.com service to set this up). You can also connect LinkedIn to Twitter, so your blog posts also appear automatically on your LinkedIn page.

This won't necessarily be everything you choose to do on these social media platforms. But it's a good start, and at least gives you a presence there once a month.

3. Turn it into audio and video form.

Read the article out loud, record it as an audio file, and publish it to your podcast.

Also turn on your webcam, record yourself explaining the article to camera, and publish it to YouTube as a video.

4. Compile it into a special report.

The first three steps above have given you an entire year's worth of content. But we're not done yet...

The next step is to take a handful of the articles and combine them into a special report called, say, "The Seven Biggest Mistake Business Owners Make With Their Web Site", or "The Five Essential Keys to a Persuasive Presentation", or whatever.

Write this in Word or Pages, save it as PDF, and give it away to as many people as possible.

5. Deliver presentations.

Take the content of the report and present a webinar every three months on that topic ("The Seven Biggest Mistakes", etc.). This is not the same content as your regular training programs; this is a promotional webinar you use as a marketing tool.

You can also create mini-presentations of each article, and upload them as slide shows to SlideShare.net.

Whew - that's it (for starters, at least)!

If you diligently follow all these steps, you'll find that you have created a full year's worth of content for your newsletter, blog, podcast, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Slideshare! Not to mention a powerful special report that's being passed around the Internet; and you're running regular promotional webinars for even more marketing.

So what are you waiting for?

I know I've glossed over the technical details of some of these tasks. But it's the principle you need to embrace first. The technical stuff is (relatively) easy, once you get started.

Re: Meta Tags Re: Meta Tags - [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- - How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags?? Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg] Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter... There are 2 very important things on your page: 1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate. 2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times. 3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.
Re: Best looking social networking site? Re: Best looking social networking site? - Hi Kevin [quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08] For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks. Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important. btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.

How To Build Great Pillar Content For Your Internet Business How To Build Great Pillar Content For Your Internet Business - I’ve found that a successful Internet businesses must start with a solid foundation. As I’ve seen, most Internet businesses will integrate a blog onto their website and start to build a solid foundation of pillar content. Pillar content or pillar articles are posts that are written to help a consumer establish what your Internet business is all about. What Is Pillar Content? This termed was first coined by a famous blogger called Yaro Starak at his website Entrepreneur’s Journey. Yaro provides the following detailed definition: “A pillar is blog content, usually an article, which does some very important things: * It will bring in a rush of new readers and backlinks (other sites linking to your blog). * It will continue to bring in more readers over time as you and other people refer to it, even though it may be buried in the archives of your blog. * Eventually it will bring in traffic from search engines (this is largely because so many other web pages link to it). * You can list it in a separate area (like an articles page) with all your other pillars so your best content can easily be accessed and your value clearly demonstrated. * It is not time dependent, so in twelve months’ time it will still be relevant and popular.” Why Is Pillar Content Important? Looking at the bigger picture, pillar content is your foundation of your Internet business as it will continue to bring consumers and readers to your website. You may think that just having a product or service to sell is all that’s needed to run a successful business. Not quite so. Consumers today are very hungry for information and want to know more about your business. Therefore providing pillar content relating to your products or services can add value for your consumers and generate more sales for you. For example, if I were selling a watch online and it had a description and listed features, it may not be enough for a consumer to purchase the watch from my site. Reason being, most people would want to read reviews from others who have purchased this watch and see their feedback. What if I wrote an article about the watch talking about the history and make of it and asked an expert to state their opinion, and had other consumers respond with comments and feedback. Then this would provide social proof and adds value to your product without the consumer leaving your site and spending time looking for more information elsewhere. Examples Of Pillar Content Most pillar content articles are longer than 500 words and have lots of practical tips or advice. There are many different forms of pillar content you can create and I have listed some examples below for you to apply to your industry: 1. How To Article - shows people how to do a certain task or instructions on building something 2. Definition Article - defines a term in your industry 3. Present A Theory Or Argument - writing to present some unique thought 4. Release A Significant Resource - a report, podcast, video 5. A “List” Article - it’s very easy to scan and share. Can be a top 10 list or action points 6. Technical Or Visual Guide - a screen capture presentation or how to fix something using a video presentation. It is also a very detailed step by step blueprint on exactly how to complete a task. Pillars I’ve seen how effective pillar content can be for any Internet business and I recommend you have at least 10 pillar articles on your website before marketing to consumers. That way you’ll provide them with something valuable to read and also gain their interest to come back again. If you can write an article each day using the above examples, then you can build a very strong foundation for your Internet business. Tyrone Shum Pillar Article Writer
