Great article writing tips

Over on ezine articles, they have a great blog post to help you write more articles. I’ve finally figured out that it’s all about the content, so here’s a quick tip about content creation.

Write an article that lists out, let’s say 7 steps to whatever. Let’s say “7 tips to great vacation photos.” You write one article that lists all 7 items very briefly. Then you write 7 more articles, each of them focused on one of the tips that you just wrote out in your first article. You need to beware and make sure that each article stands on their own. What I mean by that, is don’t make them into a series of articles that reference each other. You have just created 8 400-500 word articles that you can market and distribute. All of them with high quality keyword rich content that points back to your site.

Bum Marketing in a nutshell.

Here’s the cherry on top, schedule the posting or distribution of the articles.

Don’t just publish them all at once.

Why?

Well, one of the things that search engines like, is fresh new content that gets updated regularly. You’ve just created 8 articles that you can post to your site either one per day, or one every other day or whatever schedule you deem appropriate. Conceivably, if you post one article every 3-4 days or so, you would have a month’s worth of updates to your sites or a month’s worth of keyword rich articles for you to distribute.

Instead of slaving over the keyboard for a month, all it took was one day’s worth of work.

What do you think about that?
