In this article you’ll find a short list of creative ways that you can use to increase the exposure of your internet marketing business.

Publish your e-zine in pdf format. You could place more articles within each issue. Publishing your ezine in pdf format allows you to include graphics and can give you an opportunity to generate more income by offering other businesses full color ads within your ezine.

If you have a product that isn’t generating a good amount of sales you can include it as a bonus with another offer or service.

Before you include it with the higher converting offer, be sure to include ads for your business within the product. It’s a great source of free advertising and increased exposure for your internet marketing business.

Swap ads with other internet business owners in your autoresponder. Place a short classified ad that you can put at the top or bottom of each others autoresponder sequence.

Share your content with other webmasters and ezine owners in your niche. You could share articles, lists, etc. Each webmaster could include a resource box leading to an affiliate link or related offer at the end of the content.

Inside your products you could offer to place advertisements for other online businesses, however before you just go ahead and do that ask the other party to do the same for you.

Keep in mind that it’s important to make sure that the businesses you trade ads with are targeting the same audience.

Offer free tips. You can offer your free tips on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, but make sure that the tips are relevant and related to what your business has to offer. You can write a short ad to include at the beginning or end of your emails.

Start a forum on your blog or website and offer free daily e-classes. If you pick hot topics that people are interested in learning about this will keep visitors coming back to your blog or website regularly.

Build your own directory of websites focusing on a specific subject. You can give your visitors an opportunity to link back to the directory by adding it to their own website.

Place a banner or text link ad at the top of the home page for the directory. With this idea you can build lots of backlinks to your website fast and get massive exposure for your ads.

Let’s face it while many of us know that article marketing is a tried and true way to make money online it’s not the sexiest method on the planet. What do you do when you have to sit down and write when you don’t feel like it?

It helps to have the right frame of mind when it comes to setting the stage for effective article writing. In order to achieve a state of mind that can help you think positively about writing, you might want to ask yourself some questions.

How will writing articles today enhance my business? Will writing articles today bring me closer to my goal financially? If I don’t write any articles today, how will that negatively impact my business? Would I rather write articles to support my family or work 9 – 5 in some dead end job for the next 30 – 40 years and continue struggling to pay my bills?

Answering those questions shouldn’t take you more than a couple of minutes and may help you to get your head together quickly.

Another thing you can do is make sure that the area you’re working is clear. There’s nothing more irritating than having other stuff competing for your attention in your workspace. Don’t make your mind work harder than it has to.

Something I’ve found very important to do is to write down any new ideas as quickly as they come. You don’t necessarily have to post the content immediately, you can go to Google  docs or notepad and get the idea out while it’s fresh. I’ve found that whenever I’ve tried to hold my thoughts until I”m ready to write, I usually can’t remember all the ideas that were racing through my mind as they were happening.

If you have to, put up pictures or play music that helps you to get into an easy state that allows your thoughts to flow.

Most importantly of all, you have to keep at it. Don’t worry about writing the next great literary masterpiece. Just write, write and write some more and you’ll soon find that you can condition yourself to write an effective article in almost any circumstance on just about anything.

Have you ever read an insanely long blog post or article that you clicked away from before you reached the end of the article? What happened, was it the content? Was the quality of the article poor or do you just have a hard time concentrating longer than 300 words?

If you are going to write content for a living especially on a blog it’s important to remember that most people have a hard time staying focused long enough to read articles or blog posts longer than 300 words.

So this means that you have to write in short info blasts that get to the point and keep your readers coming back for more. Have you ever gotten an email that read like a short novel? Do you read every word or just skip right to the link or the P.S.?

What’s the first thing you think about the next time you get an email from that person? Nice guy, but the mails are too long. See ya. The same thing happens with blog posts and articles. If the posts or articles are too long than two things will happen:

1. Your reader will click away long before they reach your bio box in your article

2. After they read that epic literary masterpiece on your blog, they ain’t coming back.

Why?

They just don’t have the time. One of the things that the internet facilitates is speed. When you do a search online it’s because you want to condense the time frame needed to find what you’re looking for right away. It’s the same way with your blog readers, if you can give them short info blasts that satisfy a question that was on their minds… they’ll be back.

An upside to this is that you don’t have to spend hours writing one or two posts. You can break up your material into easily digestible and actionable chunks that will benefit your readers far more than an all out brain dump.
