Article Marketing: A Plug And Play 21 Point Checklist To Insure Success!

Thousands of article marketers post articles to directories day after day, without fail. Very few achieve any success, and an even smaller proportion achieve Search Engine rankings in top positions. So, barely a very small percentage of the articles submitted are ultra-successful; modest success is garnered by some, while most others are doomed to failure for various reasons .

To what can we credit the results achieved by the winning articles? Allow me to present my 'ready to use' checklist, ordered according to priority. You could be aware of many, assuming you have been involved in writing and submitting articles. Having said that, there are surely some listed factors that you are possibly hearing of for the first time.

On each occasion you write and submit an article to article directories, compare your article with this checklist, and boost the chances of your article's success. Ok, here we go:

1. How Powerful Is Your Article Title? Will Readers Find It Shocking/ Controversial/ Intriguing/ Beneficial/ Topical/ Informative/ Calling To Action?

2. How High Are The PR's Of The Online Directories You Have Chosen For Submission ?

3. Can You Describe Your Author Bio As Sufficiently Promising?

4. Do You Offer Any Incentives To Visit Your Site?

5. Do Your Sites/ Blogs and Products Deliver On Your Article's Promise?

6. Were You Able To Include Various Accompanying Anchor Texts For Your Author Bio?

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

9. Do You SubmitWant To Post Many Editions Of Your Write-Up To Different Directories, Or Submit En-Masse A Single Edition To All Of Them?

10. Do You Rewrite Your Article Into Multiple Versions, Or Use Software To Spin Them?

11. Is Your Niche Popular? What Kind Of Competition Does It Attract?

12. How Well Are Your Articles Written?

13. Do You Submit In The Perfect Category Of The Chosen Directories?

19. How Well Do You Use Your Time?

20. Do You Consider Yourself A Lucky Person?

21. After Submitting To Directories, Do You Market Your Article?

For good or bad, your greatest capital is your time. Many successful owners of online businesses refrain from doing the bulk of their work inhouse; time is used sparingly by them mainly to plan strategy. Many get their articles written by others.

Consider it mandatory that whatever you write get posted regularly in directories. In fact, you should aim for several every day, averaging one every week. Given the scarcity of time, attempt to pen articles, but you could hire help for submission. But if time does not permit you to have your articles written inhouse, or writing skills are lacking, you had better outsource the writing and submission work, alike.

Writing articles is the lifeblood of internet marketing- - business cannot thrive without them. Article writing and submission are ignored at your own peril.

Best luck to your article writing and submission!
