Article Writing is one of the free methods adopted to promote affiliate products online. It is a very simple process to follow but if done properly can give wonderful results. Simply put you just need to take an affiliate product and go to its site – understand what the product is about – do a little bit of planning – write an article – post it in article directories and you can really start promoting your affiliate product.
Article writing is an art that needs to be developed slowly but you need not be a wonderful or an expert writer to promote your affiliate products. Put your ideas in a simple lucid manner. Go through the sales page of the affiliate product and you will get an idea of what the product is about, what advantages a person is going to get if he uses the product, what are the plus points of this product in compared to the other available products and all other ideas you need to write an article on your chosen affiliate product. Now what you got to do is just put all your points in your own words. Your article must be in simple language that common people can understand. Instead of using tough technical terms you must try to use simple common terms in your articles as much as possible.
Now let me give you some tips on how to write an article. An article basically has three parts – TITLE, BODY and BIO.
TITLE – This is a very important part because this is what a reader reads first. Make the title of your article interesting so that it encourages your reader to further read the article. One thing that you can do to make the title interesting is to ask a question in your title. For example if you are promoting a product on ‘Fat Loss’ then you can ask a question like – Is xxxxx(name of your affiliate product) help you really lose 5pounds in one week? Now reading this title a person who wants to loose weight will surely feel the urge of reading the article and that is what you have written the article for – isn’t it? So your title can make a lot of difference.
BODY – In this part first give a short introduction of your affiliate product. Then start describing the product in simple lucid manner. Explain what the product is about, how can it help, what are the advantages and why is it a better product compared to the others. In short you would have to create an interest about the product in the person’s mind who is reading the article so that he feels the need to buy the product thus will click on your affiliate link and go to the merchant site and most probably buy the product giving you your commission. Break the body into small paragraphs and take special care in making the first paragraph as interesting as possible so that your visitor feels the urge of reading the article till the end. This part makes you presell your product.
BIO – This is the last part of an article where you conclude. You would have to place your affiliate link in this part. Some article directories does not allow affiliate links so in that case you need to have your own site and put the link of your site page that has the affiliate link in the bio section.
There are many Article Directories where you can post your articles for free. Some of them are – Ezine Articles, Go Articles, Articlebase etc. You can find many by searching. Go to an article directory site – register your self – go through the FAQ and the terms and conditions – start publishing your articles.
