I’ll explain their secret to you in a minute. But first, you
must understand something important.

Thanks to the Internet, your ideal customers are looking for you and researching your products online. So how do you get their attention over the competition? Inbound marketing, of course. While you can use traditional marketing and advertising to find customers, the new style of marketing online is more efficient, more cost-effective, and customers actually like it.

Article writing can be a huge part of your content marketing strategy. Done right, article marketing has a lot of benefits. Article writing can:

• build your expertise and reputation in your industry
• flood your website or blog with traffic
• increase brand awareness and recognition

Article writing can also be an important component in your off-page SEO strategy by pointing quality, one-way links to your site. Because articles focus on the reader, not the link itself, these links are much more valuable, especially when you publish your articles on directories with high PageRank.
