As a promotional tool to drive targeted traffic to your web site, article writing is considered one of the key tools that should be employed. The popularity of article writing and exchange has emerged as a convenient way for people to promote and get fresh content for their sites. Search engines want fresh and creative article content because the people who use their search engines demand it. Even though most people use the Internet as a giant database, search engines treat it like a massive information resource. Unique content simply means content that is not duplicated and search engines are looking for this material therefore articles that are rewritten become unique as far as they are concerned.
If you are the sort of person who likes to write ten you may want to compile your own articles and to help you I have listed a few tips which may help. By carrying out some research first either online or current magazines etc, it will ensure the article is up to date even if it’s a topic you know something about. The importance of making the article flow correctly must not be underestimated so ensure that you have a beginning, middle and an end which should hopefully round up the article nicely. Most articles are written with approximately twenty sentences or so and about four of those reserved for the conclusion where the article summing up is left. To make the article more enjoyable to read, break it up into a few chunks or paragraphs, about four is ok and ad a box at the end with your information and links so you will get the credit for the work.
Not only is it enjoyable writing articles but if you get good you may well be asked to write them to advertise or promote other peoples websites and online businesses. Let me tell you one of the secrets to writing successful articles. The answer is simpler than you think because all you have to do is write from your own experience of work, leisure, interests or family. Another starting point would be to use niche market subjects to write a range of articles on and where you could almost become an authority.
To become a good writer you should employ good writing techniques. By writing a piece every day to get the feel of writing and learn to identify the common problems faced by every other writer will improve your writing style very quickly. They say practice makes perfect and this is perfectly true with article writing and not only that but it becomes easier. These are obviously only my guidelines and have worked for me and may not suit everyone but it’s important to remember that whatever method works for you, stick to them if you intend to write articles regularly.
You want to rework your article into a video. This is can get a little complicated. If you are not proficient in using the computer or do not want to learn please hire this stuff out - it will save you loads of time.
What you will need to start out with is some recording equipment maybe a microphone and a program called Sound Forge built by Sony. With this, you can record yourself reading your article. You can also hire a voice talent to do this work typically a professional voice talent gets paid at least $100 per hour.
When you have your audio created and ready to go, it is time to start creating the video. We use Microsoft Power Point to create a template slides to use in our video and we use a program call Sony Vegas Movie Studio to put the audio and template slides all together.
You want to create at least 3 to 5 slides with key bullet points in your article. If more slides are needed, then you can make more (3 to 5 should be enough). When you create your slide make sure to save them as a picture file like jpeg so that you can import them into Sony Vegas Movie Studio. Once you have all of these items you will need to import the media into Sony Vegas Movie Studio and start building your video.
If you would like to find the equipment to do this for yourself you can go to: www.InternetVideoGuy.com/direct. This is where you can find the right equipment and the right training on how to do this task. Once youre finished editing your video you will need to create the different video files. You need to make sure to create 3 different file formats. This will help you get more visibility on sites that use different video formats (mpeg1, mpeg2, rm).
STEP FIVE: Submit video.
Now youre ready to start submitting your videos to video submission websites. To do this, you will need to submit your video to different video submission websites. Just like the article submission, and PR (Press Release) submission websites you will need to create accounts at all the different video submission websites. Then you log into the site and upload your video. This will take a little bit of time because videos take some time to upload. You will then need to create a description for your video so that the video submission sites know what content you have uploaded to them.
The results you get from video submissions are fantastic. Videos have become the staple for the internet today. The Big 3 (Google, Yahoo, MSN) are trying to turn the internet into the next television, so videos get ranked very high.
Here is a list of video sites you can start submitting to:
AtomFilms Blip BoFunk Eyespot YouTube
STEP SIX: Turn your audio into a Pod Cast.
Since you already have your audio file created (you used it in the video presentation), you need to pod cast it. Pod casting is one of the quickest ways to start your own radio station. With iTunes having over 200 million users, there should be no reason why you would not want to start pod casting today. When you use iTunes 4.9 or later, Apple has taken pod casting mainstream by building everything you need to find, subscribe to, manage, and listen to pod casts right in iTunes.
You can publish your podcast to iTunes (as long as its free of copyrighted material and overtly explicit content) and reach a potential audience of millions. There are video tutorials at apple to help you get through this task. To make it easier visit this site: http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/.
