Article Marketing: A Battle Ready Twenty-one Point Checklist To Insure Success!

All article marketers worth their salt post articles to directories day after day, without fail. Very few actually succeed, and fewer still are recognized by Search Engines which rank them in top positions. Therefore, barely some articles written and submitted achieve outstanding success; a few accomplish average results, while most others are doomed to failure because of myriad causes .

To what can we credit the results achieved by the winning articles? Allow me to present this plug and play checklist, in my own order of importance. You could be aware of a few, if you're already into writing and submitting articles. Chances are, you will find a few listed factors that you are possibly hearing of for the first time.

Whenever you post an article to directories online, compare your article with this checklist, and improve substantially the probability of a positive outcome from your article. So, this is my list:

1. How Powerful Is Your Article Title? Can You Describe It As Beneficial Or Shocking Or Controversial Or Intriguing Or Informative Or Topical Or Even Calling To Action?

2. Are Their PR's Sufficiently High, Referring To The Directories You Have Chosen For Submission ?

3. Will Your Author Bio Be Perceived To Be Motivating Enough?

4. Are There Incentives Offered To Browse Your Website?

5. Do Your Sites/ Blogs and Products Justify The Promise Made In Your Article?

6. Have You Created An Author Bio With Variable Anchor Texts?

7.How Fresh And Innovative Is The Central Idea Of Your Article?

8. What Tally Of Directories Are You Submitting Your Article To?

9. Will You Send Many Editions Of Your Article To Different Directories, Or Submit En-Masse A Single Edition To The Lot?

10. Do You Physically Redo Your Article Into Multiple Versions, Or Spin Them?

11. How Popular Is Your Niche? Is There Plenty Of Competition?

12. Are Your Articles Sufficiently Well-Crafted?

13. Do You Submit To The Right Category Of The Chosen Directories?

14. Have You Posted The Original Version Of Your Article At Your Own Website?

15. Are You The Owner Of An Article Directory Specific To The Niche, Getting Populated Automatically? Are You Submitting Your Articles, As Well?

16. Is Your Article Summary Enticing?

17. How Popular An Author Are You?

18. Do You Employ Popular Keywords? And How High Is The Competition For These Keywords?

19. How Good Is Your Time Management?

20. How Lucky Are You?

21. After Writin And Submission, Do You Market Your Article?

For good or bad, the most valuable possession is time. Most of the successful online entrepreneurs refrain from doing the bulk of their work inhouse; they use their time for making strategic plans. Many hire outside writers to write and submit their articles.

Consider it mandatory that whatever you write be submitted with frequency to directories. Target many daily, with a minimum of one, weekly. If time is short, attempt to write articles yourself, and outsource effective submission. But if time does not permit you to write, or writing skills are lacking, you had better outsource both writing and submission.

Selling online depends on articles- - business cannot thrive without them. Ignore article writing and submission at the risk of your business.

Good Luck to your article writing and submission!
