Article marketing is a wonderfully easy way to market your business, product or service. When you write articles and submit them to article banks, you are increasing your exposure to your niche market, and at the same time you are building a library of information about things that you know about.

Here are five great reasons to write articles to help marketing your business:

1. Articles sites are very well indexed by the search engines. When you submit an article, you are effectively improving your position in search results. By using effective keywords in your articles, you can really boost your results.

2. You establish yourself as an expert in your industry. By writing about things that you know well, you will improve your reputation as a knowledgeable source for the topics you write about. You will also build trust with your niche market, because you are providing free tips and information about something they want to know about.

3. You can increase the traffic to your website or blog with every article submission. By including a call to action at the bottom of each of your articles, you can target where you want your readers to go. This can be the same bio box each time, or you can change it up with each new article. This effectively helps you to build backlinks as well as drive traffic to your specific products and services.

4. With each new article you write and submit, you are building a library of information that you can repurpose into other sellable products like ebooks, books or even home study courses. Regular writing helps to build your ability and your style, and you can earn passive income by building your library of products.

5. It is free! It is a great opportunity to get a great deal of marketing support for very low cost. It only costs you your time to write the content and then time to submit. Even if you enlist the help of your Virtual Assistant to do the submission part, it's a very cost effective way to market your business.

So think about what you know and pick up your pen! Getting started is the most difficult part, but before long you will get into a routine. Remember to write about what you know, and do it often!
