Articles and Autoresponders


Writing articles to market a product or service is an excellent and very efficient way to build your business. 

The articles should be very informative, providing the reader with information that is important to educating your reader to your specific topic. The article should include a link to your web page for more information. 

The web page, of course, is designed to sell a product or service that relates to the topic of the article. 

These articles are commonly submitted to article directories, article archives, websites, newspapers and ezine publishers in your market. This is one of the most effective ways to market a service or product on the Internet. I use the services of Targeted Article for quick and easy distribution of my articles.

And it can become even more effective when it is combined with the use of an autoresponder. The service that I've used for years is A1eBiz.

Begin by setting each of your articles up in your autoresponder. It is important that each article have its very own autoresponder address, so you will need an autoresponder service that will allow you to do this.

Next, make a master list, or article archive listing, of your articles on your web site, with the autoresponder address for each article listed beside the title. You can even add descriptions of the articles on your article archive listing if you want to.

By setting up your article archive in this manner you are capturing the contact information and 'sorting' your clientele into very specific areas of interest to present future offerings to.

Don't advertise your articles one at a time! 

Instead advertise one autoresponder address for the master list. Simply put the autoresponder link for your master listing in your e-mail signature file, your resource box in each of your articles, your newsletter and on your website. 

You can even allow other ezine publishers to use this as a free resource for their subscribers!


Use your imagination to work smart and not hard to promote your web site and yourself. For more tips on how to optimize your time and money visit The Workbooks.
