The 2012 article marketing statistics are in and they reflect what writers have been telling you all along - you NEED good content in order to have a successful online campaign. According to studies cited by The B2B Marketing Insider, digital content is 50% of what contributes to making a sale and increases your chances of making that sale by 25%. That's only if your content is good. The bad stuff, according to the same reports, can make you 40% less likely to make that sale. So, what is article marketing and how does it work? Article marketing is where you create informational articles related to your business, industry or field of expertise. For example, if you sell cars, you would want car articles. If you sell homes, you would want home-related articles. The marketing part comes in at the bottom of these articles in what's known as a resource box where all the relevant information about you, your company and links back to your website are included, thereby establishing you as an authority in your field - while generating traffic at the same time. These articles are then submitted to a variety of distribution sites - most commonly to the Ezine platform - where they continuously work for you by keeping your business and your brand fresh in everyone's mind.
