If you want to make money in affiliate marketing, you have to get traffic coming to your landing page site. Article marketing is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site but it's important that your articles offer real quality to your readers and not just repeat keywords over and over again.
You can create effective article marketing by using the following types of articles.
1. Problem articles
The best products help people solve problems and you can get a lot of traffic from articles that address these problems. Marketers sell solutions to problems and you can pre-sell your product by creating an article that deals with the problem.
For example, if you are promoting a weight loss product you can create a problem article about the dangers of being too heavy or the problems with trying to lose weight.
2. Tips lists articles
Tip list articles are very popular and are a good way to deliver content since the writing is done in bite sized chunks. Make sure that the tips are relevant to your users and that they have quality information.
If the reader sees quality information in your tips they will know that there is quality information in the product you are promoting as well.
3. How to articles
How to articles are probably the most popular online. People come online looking for information and how to articles fulfill that need. You can provide detailed instructions on how to accomplish a task.
If you are promoting a how to product you can give your reading audience an overview of your product and save the important details for your main product.
4. Comparison article
If the product you are promoting has a major competitor, you can compare your product to it through a comparison article. Depending on where you are distributing the article you can either name the competing product directly or refer the characteristics of the competing product.
5. Benefits list article
Benefits list articles will highlight a few of the major benefits of the product that you are promoting and help your audience see why it's the best choice for you. The benefits list article can refer to the product you are promoting directly or just give your audience something that they can should look for in an article.
6. Mistakes list
Mistakes list articles highlight qualities of competing products that your audience should avoid. The mistakes on the list should be typical problems that people would find with other products on the market.
Once the reader finishes the article they'll be convinced that they need a product that doesn't make any of these mistakes.
7. FAQ article
Frequently asked questions articles are a terrific way to introduce yourself as a valuable resource to your niche. Frequently asked question articles are easy to put together and they are often republished (along with your bio box) on other sites.
This truly helpful form of article will be an asset to your affiliate marketing efforts.
