Create a Library of Articles for Automatic Promotion
Create a Library of Articles for Automatic Promotion
© 2 Terri Seymour
Writing articles and submitting them for publication
is a very powerful promotion tactic. BUT, this can be
taken a step further to put your articles on auto-pilot.
First of all, you need to get a good fr~e autoresponder
such as http://www.getresponse.com or
http://www.sendfree.com
Each time you write an article, what you want to do is
set up an autoresponder account for that article. For
example, this article will probably have an account
named articlelibrary@getresponse.com What you want
to do is put the article and a short but courteous thank
you note in the message.
Here is an example of the thank you:
Hello,
Thank you for requesting Re-Gaining Your Groove!
Feel fr~e to use this article in your ezine or on your
website. Please include entire resource box and do
not edit article in any way. If you have any questions,
contact me at ter02@newnorth.net For a list of other
articles that would be of interest to your readers,
mailto:myownezine-index@getresponse.com Thank you.

To tie your library together, you want to make one
message that contains all your article titles along with
each autoresponder address. This account would be
named allarticles or article-index or something on that
order. Or name it whatever you want. ;-)
This way, people can request
all your articles or just
certain ones they might be interested in.
You can also give this list of articles and autoresponder
addresses their own page on your website. This will
give your articles additional exposure.
Then to help spread the word about your article
library, add a link to your sigtag, mention it on
discussion lists when someone asks for articles, put
it in your resource box, mention it in your ezine, etc.
Your articles will automatically be giving you fr~e
exposure while you can concentrate on other aspects
of your business!
And remember, you do not have to be an "expert"
writer to write effective and helpful articles. Do not
let your own self-doubt stop you from this excellent
method of building your business.
Just write what you know and give the readers basic
and straight-forward information and resources. And
let your personality shine through in your articles,
so your readers feel they know you and can trust you.
Ok, so get started and write that first article! ;-)
I accept article submissions for MOE at
mailto:ter02@newnorth.net
