I have recommended to many of my clients to submit their articles to online article directories. It helps you increase awareness for your book, drive more traffic to your web site and article market helps you get more search engine traffic.

In addition, online article directories don’t require exclusivity, so you can use the same article to market yourself and your book in many different places. Here is how you can market your books with articles:

– Write articles that would be of interest to the same people who would be interested in reading your book. These people are also known as your target market.

– Create a compelling resource box at the end of the article – this is where you tell the reader who you are and why they should visit your web site. Don’t waste this space – make sure that the information is interesting enough to get the people click over and visit your web site.

– Submit your articles to as many good article directories as you can – more exposure means more traffic to your book.

I have taught a class on using articles for promoting your business online, and you can get the recording of it at Article Marketing For Profits. The recording includes a list of article directories that I recommend submitting your articles to.
