I wrote yesterday about Article Writing and about Jeff Herring’s advice on recycling your articles as blog posts, autoresponder emails and much more.
This is crucial for bloggers. We are lucky to be able to write our posts in whatever style we wish and at whatever length we wish too.
Apart from that and from micro posts (move over Twitter!) which we sometimes allow ourselves – a post is an article and I’m sure that bloggers can benefit from most or all of the resources that exist to help Internet Marketers with Article Marketing.
So let’s just cover a few resources today to help the beginner blogger and the beginner Article Marketer
The Article Guy
We’ll start with Jeff Herring again but this time have a look at this short video for some tips…
In case you did not get Jeff’s link http://expertlistbuilding.com/articleguy.html
If you are a more technical person and this talk of writing leaves you cold then you may appreciate a software solution.
Jon Leger
“Instant Article Wizard” is one of the software solutions to the difficulty of writing and researching informative articles. This is a research tool created by Jon Leger, and may be useful to those with no difficulty in writing at all.
Typing in a keyword makes the wizard go out and search for helpful and relevant content. It brings back phrases which you then look through and decide to use or ditch. You then put them in order and put some connecting text in and presto you have a researched newly written unique article.
Probably best to see it in action in the video hosted at this link…

I have this tool and have had some good results with it but have not used it for a while – the video may well show you if it would be useful in your research
Right Article Marketing
If you just want a good, simple, no frills explanation of the why and how of article marketing with article templates, software reviews and more you might want to check out the ebook I wrote called “Right Article Marketing”.
But start with my post “Article Marketing for Babies”!
If you think I have an obsession with Article Marketing you are probably right and I’m going to ask you to make that obsession worse by letting me know what your article writing or marketing resources are

Article marketing seems to be in the air again.
A few days ago I discussed easy steps to take to get into action with article writing and a couple of days after that I heard Jeff Herring (The Article Guy) discussing repurposing articles.
Doesn’t that sound enthralling? Not!!
What Jeff means is that once you have done the creative bit and produced an article – why not get the most out of it?
After you have an article written sitting innocently on your desk (or disc) minding it’s own business in the way that all good articles do, well then, you can
- submit it to an article directory
- collect it with other articles into an ebook
- Sell it as PLR
- submit to a PDF directory
- turn into an exe Ebook
- turn into a widget
- Publish it as a Squidoo Lens
- blog it
- and that RSSs it automatically
- Use the text for a radio spot / blogtalk radio
- read it and podcast it
- convert the file to a CD
- convert the article to a PowerPoint presentation
- turn that into a screensaver
- Use CAMTASIA and turn the presentation into a video
- er…Jeff kept going for about 21 items
Any bright ideas to add to this list please do!
Let’s see if we can beat him eh?
And then I noticed a post by Andrew Hansen…
Andrew Hansen has used Article Marketing to great effect. In a guest post at Problogger he reveals just how he used a very particular keyword and linking strategy to create and build traffic to a blog
I won’t go over it here – I think it deserves a full reading. Note particularly how he does the “Bio Box” of the articles he submits to Article directories.
I discussed how to write Bio boxes properly way back when I wrote “Right Article Marketing”. I was and remain critical of how most people fail with the most critical part of the article – the so called “Bio Box” - but I think the way Andrew describes in his post is perhaps better.
You cannot afford to neglect Article Marketing!
- I have given you the Baby Steps to get started
- Jeff has given you an amazing recycling system
- Andrew has revealed a powerful way to drive huge traffic
At the end of his talk Jeff said, “You gotta have guts”
What???
“Go Use This Stuff”
It takes G.U.T.S. to succeed – reading don’t do it, action does!
