How To Build Your List Through Article Writing

By Rachel Rae


You can build your list simply by writing articles, whether you have thought of it or not.

In a nutshell, you write articles based on your topic of expertise or business experience or any other topic that interests you and submit those articles to article directories where newsletter publishers and readers alike go to look for content.

Maximizing your viral marketing efforts through article writing can be very effective, if done correctly. You are actually proving your expertise and demonstrating your knowledge about your business by the articles you write.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list's landing page where you can get your visitor's name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

If your articles are worth publishing, newsletter and webmasters will republish your articles on their sites and newsletters with your resource box to be seen by their readers and subscribers. Viral marketing for you!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites by doing a simple online search to find many great sites.
