[EzineArticles] How to Avoid Sounding Like a Salesperson

Like a Salesperson

7 Tips to Avoid Being Overly Promotional in Your Articles

Readers visit your articles because they're seeking out expert insights into your niche. And let's face it, they're not prepared for an all-out sales blitz right when they open an article. If that's what they get, they're going to be instantly turned off and click away because there are plenty of other expert sources they can seek out.

Now, there's a right time and place for promotional copy - down in the Resource Box of your article and on the landing page of your website - once you've built up your trust and credibility as an expert. But, if your articles themselves start sounding like an infomercial for yourself or your company, you run the risk of alienating potential readers and even having your articles rejected for publication.

The EzineArticles Editorial Guidelines state: "To be qualified for our site, your article MUST NOT be a press release, advertisement, sales letter, promotional copy, or blatant and excessive self-promotion or hype."

Watch this video to discover how to uphold this standard by delivering great content without sounding like a salesperson.

Avoiding Promotional Content in Articles

  • "For only $9.99, you can get ..." - This is clearly salesmanship and it doesn't provide any unique and insightful value to your reader. It's just sales copy; the type of writing you'd expect to see in a newspaper or magazine ad. Please, don't use straight sales copy in your articles.
     
  • Name Dropping - Your company, your product, and your name belong in the Resource Box, not the body of the article. Use the article body to provide tips, tricks and analysis. Remember, if the information is helpful, they'll go looking for more.
     
  • "In another article I wrote, titled ..." - Promoting or linking to self-serving locations should also be avoided. Instead of focusing on what will benefit you the most, like including a self-serving link early in the article body, focus on sharing information right in the article that will benefit your reader most. The reader shouldn't have to go to your website to get the main points of the article.
     
  • Recommendations and Unbiased Reviews - Some readers look for product reviews to gauge the effectiveness of products on the market. If you're not associated with the product, you can give an unbiased review as long as you don't link directly to the product's website.
     
  • Using An Outline - Once you pick a topic, consider writing an outline that you can follow. If you stick to the outline, you'll avoid going off-topic and risk sounding "salesy."
     
  • Sticky Intro - Create titles and introductions that grab the reader's attention. Also, make sure your hook matches your article topic. Let your reader know exactly what you're writing about. This will create stickiness (the effect where a reader stays to read your article, rather than clicking someplace else).
     
  • Reserve the Resource Box - Once you've delivered on the promise of the article with quality content, you can provide information about yourself or your company in the Resource Box.

Real Trouble of Sounding Like a Salesperson

The trouble with promotional content in your articles is that it tries to convert your readers into customers before establishing any credibility.

Focus on building credibility through content that's packed with useful information and gets right to the point. If you don't, those readers may look elsewhere for that information.

Now, use these tips to help load your next set of articles with value instead of salesmanship. More value will build your credibility and ultimately increase traffic to your website or blog.

Check out this post online to watch the video, and leave a comment about how you avoid sounding too "salesy" in your articles.

Being a self-taught artist, I was always skeptical about starting to paint and designing my own website. I always felt that way about writing articles, too. Once I joined EzineArticles and began to submit articles, I gained the self-confidence I didn't have before. It has also added traffic to my website. I hope to continue to write articles and look forward to increases in sales. Thank you, EzineArticles, for your support!

[EzineArticles] Working On Your Downtime Plan

Working On Your Downtime Plan EzineArticles.com Logo

Imagine for a moment ...

You woke up early this morning, and you're motivated and ready to write and submit several new articles to take your article writing to a new level (on a Saturday, no less).

You turn on your computer, and as the machine boots up, you consult your article idea notebook and start brainstorming in your head about your first article.

With confidence high, you open up your word processing program and an Internet browser window to check emails. Suddenly, a message pops up on your screen, "Network Connection Failed. Try Again Later."

You think to yourself, "Ugh, not again," and you proceed to reboot your Internet router. As it's rebooting, you start typing the article and put checking your email on the back-burner. An hour passes. You finish the article, and, after a quick review, you're satisfied with it.

You go back to the Internet window to submit your article to EzineArticles and the Internet is still down. You try everything - rebooting the router again and then rebooting the whole computer - nothing works. You've been hit with a case of Internet downtime that'll last until you can get in contact with your ISP.

There are tons of different reasons why you might experience writing or submission downtime (e.g. your ISP connection dies, your computer crashes entirely, you've picked up a bad case of writer's block, maybe it's self-imposed, etc.).

Arm yourself with a "Downtime Plan" to prepare yourself for these situations. The plan is made of a checklist of things that you can pick up at a moment's notice. Items on the list don't need to be done to move forward, but they help your overall organization and results. Here are some places to start:

"Downtime Plan" Ideas

  • Update Your Editorial Calendar – Jot down your next month of articles. Building a schedule like this will help you accomplish what you want to accomplish and help you write on a regular basis.
     
  • Review Your Strategy – Sometimes we get so caught up in doing, doing, doing, that we have no time to reflect on the vast amount of progress we've made and evaluate that progress for what it's worth. Stepping back, reviewing your article writing plan and examining how it fits in with your overall goals is a valuable activity to help you polish your strategy.
     
  • Plan Other Distribution Channels – Always have a printed list of your published articles on-hand. Look at each article and ask yourself, "Where else could I use this?" Make note of anything you can come up with.
     
  • Brainstorm Article Repurposing Ideas – Take your printed list of published articles and think about ways that this material could be easily repurposed. Could you build a teleseminar or video around a group of articles? What about a podcast or webinar?
     
  • Simply Write - If your Internet is down but your computer works, you can still use a word processing program to outline or write out articles without submitting them. If you're left completely without a computer, you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way and pull out a pen and paper.
     
  • Head to the Local Library/Bookstore - Pick up books written by other experts in your niche, and do some research to give your writing new angles. When you finish reading, you'll not only have acquired the knowledge for multiple new articles, you can also write a book review article with your analysis of the content.
     
  • Become a Student of Article Writing - Educate yourself on the art and science of article writing. Stay at the library and use their Internet to do some research on effective article writing strategies.

Downtime, self-imposed or not, will happen, so it's a good habit to keep hard-copies and digital copies of your work available at all times. That way you always have a plan to convert downtime into productive time.

Have any other downtime plan ideas to share? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

[EzineArticles] Traditions Article Template

Traditions Article Template EzineArticles.com Logo

Traditions are an essential part of any common culture.

Long-lasting traditions from some cultures span generations. Perhaps others are shorter lived, but either way there is value to staying connected with the past through rituals, traditions and events.

Whether you're celebrating a holiday with traditional activities or cooking a traditional dish from your country of origin, the traditions that exist in your niche can make a great new set of articles for your account.

First, identify a tradition that's been adopted in your article niche. Whatever tradition you choose should have some personal or cultural significance with which you can identify. That connection will ensure your familiarity with the tradition and why it's important to you and others in your niche.

Components of the Traditions Article Template

  1. Keyword-Rich Title – Choose commonly-used keywords to describe the tradition in the title. Your article will be more easily found by web surfers if you stay away from obscure references in the title. Also, consider the type of audience you hope to draw with the article. Choose keywords further down the long tail of the keyword distribution curve to appeal to an audience looking for very detailed content.
     
  2. Introduce the Tradition – Describe it. The structure may be in list format or just in paragraphs depending on the complexity of the topic you've chosen. Again, consider your audience as you introduce the tradition. You can choose to provide very basic information or go more in-depth.
     
  3. Explain the Benefits – This is your chance to share exactly why the tradition is near and dear to your heart. Share why the tradition has become a part of the culture of your niche. For example, does it honor something? What are its origins? Who else is practicing the tradition and why?
     
  4. Counter the Shortfalls – Weigh the validity of the traditions, and explain why the tradition should be continued.
     
  5. Concluding the Article – Now that you've walked through the tradition, explained its benefits and thought about any shortfalls of the tradition, you have a chance to evaluate the tradition one more time and explain why it should be continued in the future ... or discontinued altogether.

This basic process should help you lay out your own observations on the various cultural traditions in your niche. Plus, an article about traditions is one of the best ways to be sure they live on.

Visit this post online and leave a comment to share your own article template ideas. Who knows? Maybe we'll use your idea for a future article template!

[EzineArticles] 2 Minute Approval Tips: Choose Links Wisely

2 Minute Approval Tips:
Choose Links Wisely
EzineArticles.com Logo

Episode 13 of the "2 Minute Approval Tips" Video Series

It takes more than a good article to make the most valuable user experience possible. Other variables also have a strong influence on user experience. Today's tip is about one specific way you can ensure your articles offer as close to a 100% positive user experience as possible. More specifically, it's about choosing your links wisely.

Linking readers to additional resources on your own website is a great way to connect them to more of your very own high-value content. Meanwhile, links in articles to unrelated sites will leave readers confused and looking elsewhere for more information.

The key is to choose your links wisely. Watch this video to discover how:

Downloadable Versions:
WMV Format     MOV Format     MV4 Format     MP3 Format

A Quick Recap of the 13th "2 Minute Approval Tip"

  • Relevant Links - Whether you're putting links in your article or your Resource Box, each one you include in an article submission needs to be related to the topic of that article. Each link should add value to the information that you provide in the article. If it doesn't add any value and it's not relevant to the readers, you should consider looking for a new link. For example:
     
    • A fitness article should link to a fitness-related website, not a site selling premier cruise destinations or auto repair.
       
    • An article about dog training should link to a website related to pets, not a site about swimming.
       
    • An article about how to fix a dishwasher should link to a website about home appliances, not a site selling a speed-reading manual or a site about self-defense.
       
  • Determining Relevancy - Think of relevancy in terms of an imaginary bubble that encapsulates a niche or topic. Anything that closely matches the content in the body of an article fits inside the bubble. Unrelated things fall outside of the bubble. Only link to things inside the niche bubble.
     
  • User Experience - The link in the Resource Box is the first thing an interested reader will see once they finish reading an article and they're looking to discover more about you and your expertise. When they click on a link that's not relevant to the article, they will quickly get turned off and click away from the link.

[EzineArticles] Not All Ghostwriters Are Scary

Not All Ghostwriters Are Scary EzineArticles.com Logo

Putting All Experts At An Equal Footing

Let's face it, not everyone is a fantastic wordsmith. Ghostwriters offer a stepping stone for people with a high level of expertise and limited writing skills a chance to share their knowledge with the world. It might be the one and only way some experts with a limited amount of writing experience can share their expertise with a wide ranging audience.

The process of hiring a ghostwriter and trusting them to obey all legal and ethical guidelines can be a scary experience. Before you hire a ghostwriter to write anything for you, here's a set of tips to make the experience less scary and help you avoid getting taken for a ride:

  • Hiring Process - When you're looking for a ghostwriter, treat it like your hiring them for a job. You need to be able to trust a ghostwriter completely and hold them to the highest standards of quality. Ask questions. Find out how much experience they have. Ask to see writing samples. Don't settle for anyone that doesn't meet your expectations.
     
  • You Get What You Pay For - To get the best articles, you have to be willing to pay enough for them. Sure, you might be able to find a ghostwriter charging a dollar or two per article, but you're going to get what you pay for. Try to pin down exactly what the service is going to be worth to you and go from there.
     
  • 100% Exclusive Rights - It's really important to make sure you have 100% exclusive rights to any articles someone else writes for you. If it's not part of your agreement, you won't know for sure if those same articles are being sold to others as well.
     
  • Account Access - Don't give your account information to the ghostwriter. You need to be in complete control of your account and be able to review every single article before submission to make sure they meet your expectations.
     
  • Advanced Search - Part of your review of their work should include an Advanced Search of each article to check that they are 100% original. To do this:
     
    1. Go to the advanced search.
    2. Copy a random two sentence chunk from the article to your clipboard.
    3. Paste the sentences into the field "Find web pages that have this exact wording or phrase."
    4. Click the Advanced Search button.
    5. Review any sites that come up as a match.
    6. Repeat this process several times with other random sections.
    If any sites turn up in the search, it means the article was found elsewhere. If so, it's time to start looking for a new ghostwriter.
  • "One Strike" Rule - If your ghostwriter breaks your trust - even once - fire them and look for someone new. There are no second chances. As a ghostwriter, they're representing you. Don't let someone represent you if you don't trust them.

Have any of your own tips you use when searching for a ghostwriter? Feel free to visit this post online and share your comments.

Gary Ryan Blair "I'm proof that this is one effective medium."

A few months ago, I was contacted by a well-known, national health club chain interested in our new "Got Goals?" product line. Over several months of meetings and ongoing negotiations, we finally met at their office in California to close the deal. During the conversation, the Vice President of Marketing pulled out a weathered piece of paper which contained an article which I'd written and posted on your site.

I'm sure there are many authors and industry experts out there who question the value of marketing through this method, but I'm proof that this is one effective medium.
