Today is Day #9 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 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.

Day 5: I Need Leads?

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!

Outsourcing on Today’s Budget

Stephanie — Sat, 16 May 2009 10:00:44 +0000

Today’s small and home-based business owner has to pay closer attention to their marketing dollars, making sure that every dollar spent is a ‘dollar returned’ (they want to see a return on their investment). One way to see that return on your ‘outsourcing’ dollar is to outsource on a consistent basis. If you are not consistently outsourcing, but rather you’re always in the ‘stop, start,stop,start’ mode, you’re really not going to get a good return on that initial investment. I’m not saying that you can’t or shouldn’t change the tasks you’re outsourcing or the amount of time you outsource, what I’m saying is to be purposeful in the way you outsource. By picking specific business related tasks, such as marketing, to outsource in a specific number of hours per month you’re more likely to see a return.

If your business budget only allows 5 hours a month towards outsourcing, then that’s great! If you have one month that allows 20 hours and the following month 1 hour, then that’s fine also. There’s no ‘set’ hours that you have to outsource, its just the fact that outsourcing consistently allows your business to stay ’infront’ of your clients/customers and in time, you should see an increase in revenue. And that’s the reason you’re in business, right?

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!
