Practical Article Marketing Tips - Discover How to Launch Your Articles on Twitter For More Traffic

by Jeff Herring

Combining Article Marketing and Social Networking is a very powerful traffic generation strategy for your online business. Here's just one strategy you can use when you learn how to launch your articles on Twitter.

5 powerful steps

A couple of words of explanation: Twitter is a powerful "micro-blogging" platform where you can send out messages of 140 characters on less. These messages are called "tweets." When someone repeats your "tweet" this is called "re-tweeting" or "RT." I know, but that's what they are called.

Step 1 - Tweet that you are sitting down to begin a brand new article. Include the topic of the article and even the title if you have crafted one yet. This begins to build anticipation and gets people ready to "re-tweet" the announcement of your article.

Step 2 - Tweet that you have completed the article and submitted it to EzineArticles.com. Ask people to watch for it and RT for you. Further builds anticipation for your new article.

Step 3 - EzineArticles.com publishes your article - When you set up your account properly, EzineArticles.com "auto-tweets" your article to Twitter and a tweet is sent out announcing you article, with a link directly to your article.

Step 4 - You come in after the "auto-tweet" and let your followers know the new article is out and you provide the link. You can also ask that people RT it if they like it. You want to do this several times over the next few days, at different times each day, as people come in and out of Twitter all day long.

Step 5 - Many of the people following you on Twitter "re-tweet" your article and your article begins to go viral across Twitter. This is in addition to the multitude of people (15 million a month at the time of this writing) that come to EzineArticles.com to view articles.

My niche of Article Marketing is a very small sliver of a niche in Internet Marketing. I'm happy if a new article of mine receives 100 views in a month. With this strategy I've been getting 90 views in 90 minutes leading to hundreds of views in a month.

And yes, I am using this strategy about this article.

6 Simple Steps For Turning Your Articles Into an eBook Or Special Report

by Denise Willms

Have you been thinking it's time to finally write that e-book or special report? Perhaps you want to give it away to gain more subscribers for your list. Or maybe you would like to increase your passive income by selling an e-book or report.


Whatever your reason for creating it, turning your articles into an e-book is an easy way to repurpose content you've already written. Here are some steps to follow to do just that:

1. Compile articles that are on a similar theme so they work together as a book or report. If you've written an article series, or have several articles that are on one topic, these would be good candidates for your e-book or report. If you don't have this in place, take some time to write what you're missing.

2. Organize your articles into a logical format. I like to write a short introduction and conclusion for the book as well, so it feels like a book or report, not like a few articles put together.

3. Depending on how long you're making your book or report, you also might want to add a table of contents, to make the e-book easier to use.

4. I usually format the articles and content in a Word document and then publish it as a PDF to create the e-book or report. For this, I use Adobe Acrobat, but there are some good free programs as well.

5. You'll also want to add some active links to your new document, so they can visit your website or any affiliate links you have in there. If you use a table of contents, you can link that to the various articles throughout the book.

6. For an e-book, you'll want to add a professional looking cover. If you're like me and don't do graphics, you can hire a designer to create one for you.

One more quick tip - ask some of your online friends or clients to review it for you and use their testimonials on your sales page or download page. Now that you've published your first e-book, the next step is to let your market know how much it can benefit them.
