Do Writers Need Article Marketing?

March 13, 2010 Lisa Mason 2 comments

As a full time writer who has greatly benefited from article marketing efforts, I often suggest it to others and I have had my fair share of odd looks and protests. “Why do you write for some site that doesn’t pay you?” They often ask me.

This is when I have to explain that I’m not writing for the article marketing site; I’m writing for me. Also, I’m not writing for free; I’m writing to market myself. It’s a form of advertising for my business, my books and my services.

I’ve learned that I have a big advantage over the writers who believe they don’t need article marketing. But instead of keeping all this fame to myself, I’m sharing my good news and advice with other freelance writers. It’s important that they learn that it’s a competitive market today and if you want to keep up, some marketing and self-promotion will be in order.

One of the best ways you can do this is with what you already do naturally- writing. Article marketing is a free and easy way to advertise yourself online. You can use it to link back to your website or blog and to help establish yourself as an expert.

In addition to this, it’s also a great way for you to show samples of your writing. If you’re trying to break into a new niche, it’s a way to get some articles written on those topics. If you want to build a portfolio, that can help you as well. So when it comes to whether or not you need article marketing, writers definitely can benefit from their own article marketing.
