Do you feel you have gained so much experience in your business that you would be able to teach others? Is there any way to benefit from your stories and advice?

Become Known on the Internet

Publishing is somewhat similar to Speaking. If anything interesting or important happens in your company, do not hesitate and tell everyone about it immediately! The best way to do it (when we consider ‘low cost options’) is to create an article and to send it to various Internet portals all over the world. It will be published in many places and overwhelmingly, this is not considered an advertising tool, but an article or news among other interesting articles and news on an knowledgeable website or in an ezine, for example.

Therefore, you should adjust your style when writing for this purpose. Do not use catchy words of your typical adverts. This should be rather more serious however, try to make it as informative and enriching as possible.

9 Rules of Effective Online Publishing

  1. Always refer to your target group.
  2. Don’t speak about yourself all the time.
  3. Give valuable and relevant information.
  4. Keep it simple, stupid (KISS).
  5. Make it clear and easy to find relevant information.
  6. Use a call to action.
  7. We think pictures – make sure that you include them as well.
  8. Use correct fonts and always check for spelling and grammar.
  9. Make it trackable – and track it regularly. This will give you ideas on what to improve.

Generate More Traffic to your Website Offering a Valuable Content

In today world the role of the Internet is vital. Therefore it is crucial to create a traffic generating website, unless you are 100 % sure that your target market does not use the Internet at all. However, at any stage, the online presence makes you more recognised and respected and a website is a relatively cheap marketing tool with a long life span.

In order to attract your visitors’ attention and to keep them browsing for longer than 6 seconds, your website should contain the following:

  1. The right marketing messages and testimonials for each of your niches including your customer value proposition statement.
  2. 2-3 articles advising people within your particular niches in areas that you can give them professional advice.
  3. Interesting and updated news that matter to your target group.

In Minutes, Let the Whole World Read Your Story!

To submit an article means to publish it on a web site which is not yours. There are various portals which welcome any articles on different topics. As it could be a tough job to submit dozens of your articles to these numerous sites one by one, some of the portals also offer a service of automated article submission.

This is an easy and fast way to let the Internet audience know about your great masterpiece. However, it is not the main reason of the articles submission. The more important role of it is its contribution to your search engine optimisation, as at the end of each article you can insert your contact data, i. e. your URL.

Here I would like to share a few such portals which could be beneficial to your own publishing:

Start Your Own eZine with Passion

Although this may seem daunting at the first sight, starting your own eZine could be as beneficial as creating your website. In a nutshell, you offer your mailing list a set of rich-content articles giving information about your products, services or about your company itself. Accordingly, you will place this content on the ezine website which will in addition generate revenues from banner ads or affiliate programmes of your partners.

To succeed brilliantly, you should choose a specific market niche your ezine will be clearly designated for:

  1. Offer interesting and valuable content that will address your target audience.

  3. Create interesting headlines for your articles. Always check your grammar and spelling.
  4. For search engine optimisation purposes, use your keyword phrases and include your snippet containing a link to your website at the end of each article.

Following all these steps obediently, you will feel great about receiving emails with thanks and positive reviews from your potential customers, and, what is more, your website traffic will increase muchfold. At the end of the day, your revenues will mirror this development closely.
