The internet has opened whole new realms of opportunity and since much of it is fully automated it's quite easy opportunity too. The problem is that we weren't raised to think that you can get something for nothing, we think that if something isn't horrible and difficult it can't really work.
When you provide quality content for the search engines they will 'repay' you by listing your article at the top of the search results. Now that you've got the basics, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions or concerns:
1. I hate to write! Most people will say something like that. I tell them that if you find a great keyword and just write your article around that, you'll be fine. If you are selling dog toys and you find a great keyword 'best dog toys' than all you have to do is write an article listing some great dog toys and why they're great. See? The keywords will largely determine the way the article will go. It's not that hard.
2. How do I find the right keywords? For this you can use the free Google keyword tool Just plug in the base keyword and you'll get a list of similar keywords. What you are looking for is a keyword that gets around 1,500 searches a month minimum but has less than 20,000 competitors.
3. How much does it cost? Nothing, it's totally free. The article directories will publish your articles for free (as long as you follow their rules).
That's it. That's the basics of article marketing. I told you that easy article marketing techniques were something anyone could do!
