Congratulations! You made it to: Day # 10 of a 10 day series entitled :

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.

Day 10: Recap Your Article Marketing “Why”

In the previous 9 days you’ve learned some very powerful “why’s” of article marketing and how it plays an important role in your business. So let’s recap what you’ve read:

You build relationships with potential clients you may not have otherwise met.
You use your article marketing to build trust wit h your readers.
You become known as the “expert” in your chosen field.
You generate publicity.
You gain pre-qualified website traffic.
You feed your “content hungry” target market.
You have the potential to be seen by thousands of people in your target market.
Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services.
You market your business without having to meet face-to-face.
You reap the benefits of continual web traffic for years to come.

My hope was to inform and educate you, the professional business owner, on how powerful article marketing can be for your business. If you market your business on a consistent basis, perhaps as little as 5 hours per month, you should reap the benefits for years to come.

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 9: Free Advertising Space?

Once your article is published by an article directory, it should be seen as a living piece. In other words, once a target client reads what you have to say, that person may copy it into their ezine or on their website for their readers to read, that equals to free advertising!

So basically, once you submit that article, its “out there” for all the world to see..over and over and over again! Take this one step further and let your readers know that they can use your article but they have to leave it “as is” and not change it in anyway (this info can go in your resource box.)

Oh, and if you are contacted by someone that has used one of your articles to educate their market, make sure to thank them! Virtual hand shakes can go far.

Today is Day # 8 of a 10 day series entitled :

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 8: Pre-Sell Your Services or Products

Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services. You don’t even have to meet face-to-face in order to sell your business. By article marketing on a consistent basis, your message will be read by your potential clients. Those potential clients then follow the link in your resource box, come to your website and hopefully sign-up for your mailing list. Maybe they will also contact you for more information about your product or service and want to place an order. You never know who is going to pick-up your article!

Day 7: I Spy!

Stephanie — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:37:28 +0000

Today is Day # 7 of a 10 day series entitled :

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 7: I Spy!

Are you and your potential clients playing “I Spy”? Can your next client find you? Perhaps they are googling your field of expertise, but they can’t find you or your services. Did you know that the more articles you market, the better your search results will be? That could mean, that all of those clients you know that you can help, can’t find you if the search engines can’t find you either. So stop playing “I Spy” and get “found” by your potential clients.

Write that article to educate and inform your next client and win them over!

Day 6: Business Advertising that Works?

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 6: Business Advertising that Works?

Not all advertising comes in the form of banners, flash ads or yellow page inserts. Let’s think outside of the “advertising block” for just a moment. Did you know that article marketing IS a way of advertising? Advertising that is mostly free, except that it costs you time. If you are consistent with your article marketing, your potential clients will start to view you as the expert in your field. They will begin to see you as someone that they can trust. Now what other type of advertising will show you as a possible expert in your expertise?

Day 5: I Need Leads?

Today is Day #5 of a 10 day series entitled :

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 5: I Need Leads?

Article marketing can bring you leads of quality that are relevant to your specific business needs. Perhaps a potential JV (joint venture) relationship can be started simply by having the right person read one of your articles. This is another reason why you need to have a specific call-to-action in your “Author Bio Box” (a.k.a. resource box). Don’t be afraid to send your readers to a different page than your home page. You can invite your reader to visit any page of your website. Be creative!

Day 3: Bring Me Traffic!

“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”

Day 3: Bring Me Traffic!

Another benefit of regular article marketing is the potential it has to increase your website traffic. Having a professional website is important but it doesn’t stop there! You have to get your website seen by the search engines, but most importantly, your potential clients. Once your article is published via an article directory, that reader may decide to place your article in their ezine , blog or website. When your reader places your article in-front of their readers, those readers have the option to visit your website via the information in your Bio.

Day 2: Build Your Brand

Article Marketing is one way to build your business brand, reminding your current and potential clients who you are and how you can help them. Building your brand using article marketing reinforces who you are as a person, but also who you are as a professional business owner. By having your articles in-front of your target market on a regular basis, supplying them with new information at least twice a month, will help keep you in the fore front of their minds. So the next time your potential client needs advice or a product, they will think of you first.

Why You Should Outsource

Stephanie — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:51:10 +0000

Outsourcing is the exchange of money for time. The older business trend would have been to read over resume and applications, interview possible employees then take more time to hire that person. The newer business way is to seek a virtual assistant, someone that works remotely from their own office. This saves you time and money without sacrificing your business success.

By outsourcing business related tasks that take up quite a bit of your time, you can actually regain those lost hours and still see the business growth you desire. I’ve compiled a “Top 5 List” of the most outsourceable tasks that I’ve compiled over the past year.

Top 5 Time Consuming Tasks may include:

Transcription
Customer Service
Email Support
Online Marketing
WordPress Set-up

The benefits of outsourcing, even the smallest task, can open new doors for you to further your business goals. By outsourcing the “busy” work to an assistant, you are opening up your schedule for that needed vacation or speaking opportunity.

Where Did the Day Go?

As your business grows, your time goes! Think about it, in the early start of your business you found yourself (probably) staring at your website, taping your fingers thinking “what do I do to grow my business”? Now that you have seen a growth in your business, you might be finding yourself staring at a desk piled high (perhaps the pile is sitting on your office floor and the top of the pile is at desk level?) wonder “how do I get more time for my growing business”?

There’s a time in all growing, healthy businesses when you need to start outsourcing to an assistant. Maybe you already know this, but don’t have the time to create an outsourcing list. Here’s a basic list of outsourcing tasks that are needed by all types of entrepreneurs, like yourself.

Basic Outsourcing List:

Research- your next podcast interview, podcast interviewee, keywords, ladies membership, women forums,business women, live speaking opportunity
Database Entry- edit or add new ezine members
Marketing Submissions- submit articles, press releases, podcast, and blog to appropriate directories
Scheduling- podcast interviews or interviewees, consultations
Transcription- transcribe your podcast, teleseminar, videos

Each individual business will have a specific list of outsourcing tasks, so be sure to keep an up-to-date list of your outsourcing needs.
