Why Must You Start Promoting Your Articles

Promoting is in fact a very valuable factor in a writer’s life as it plays an important role in creating a ‘platform’ for you in the face of the net. I am sure you are still in the dark about this but worry not as I will be explaining all about promoting, just for you!

Promoting a site or article is just like marketing your product. Alike in real life, when we are selling a product, we need to market them in the first place. Promoting in the writing industry is a little different from real life but the mechanics are still the same.

The first reason for promoting is you are bringing yourself to the surface of the industry. As a writer regardless if you are new or veteran writer, you are competing in a very…very competitive world of writing. Only the best will survive and in order to the best, you got to use every method possible to bring your good name and article up to the eyes of the readers.

Backlink is another term of promoting. For example, simply by putting a link of your other articles at the end of the page, readers might click on it and continue reading. With this, you are giving yourself a chance to further promote your article.

Another reason why you must start promoting and backlink your article as these actions will drive and increase your traffic effectively. You will need to time your promotion at the right time and using every moment to your advantage. It might sound tough but if a simple action can increase your readership, I am sure it is all worth it, don’t you think so?

Measuring The Success of An Article

How do you actually measure the successfulness of an article you wrote? Basically, there are debates going on especially on this subject. Some people believe there is no way to measure the successfulness of an article while there are others who believe there are ways for it.

For me, I always believe there is a way to measure it. I always make sure each of my articles has about 50 views per day. Any lower than that and I know it is not doing well. The measuring might vary depending on many factors such as popularity and even the topics you are writing.

Another way to measure the article is that if you get your article featured in xyz website, yes it is confirmed that you are writing something really good. Getting featured not only boosts your traffic to the article you write but it will increase your ‘visibility’ to the rest of the readers. You will gain ‘a moment of frame’ and you will get big numbers of traffic into the rest of your articles.

If you are getting many followers, then that is also a sign of being successful in writing. Readers who like your reading will tend to follow you and once you create a fan club, you are indirectly creating a loyal readership for your articles. However, do not be tempted by the number as some people would ‘just follow to get followed back’.

Lastly, ensure that you enable the comment for your articles. Good comments are always welcome and it gives you room for improvements. Comments will tell you how well your article is doing and if there is anything else you can do with. Besides that, it will also tell you what your readers are expecting from you.

Starting As A Writer

Writing is something that needed passion. Every one of us can write and writing has no boundaries. In writing, we can write anything under the sun. There is totally no limitation for writing. People tend to write to earn side income, as a full time writer or it could just be a hobby.

Starting as a writer is always challenging. First of all, do not (ever) wish to earn money within the first few months. That was a mistake I made which made me so de-motivated to write. Thank God I read some articles and started to write back in no time.

Secondly, always plan your article before writing. I myself used to write a lot on general topics. I noticed my traffic was bad and basically nothing was working for me. Even worst, I keep writing and I did not even get a single click yet (from Adsense). It is always better to write something that you are really good in. I made a small research lately and noticed the types of topics that basically bring plenty of traffic. Since this is just about basic of writing, I am going to explain further on this in the coming blogs.

Last but not least, making sure every article posted is checked for quality. Quality articles will only attract people but low or substandard ones will lose out. Always re-read your article at least once before publishing it to ensure the quality is controlled. Writing quality articles does not only increase your ranking but also making your blog much more popular among readership.

A Writer's Breakthrough

Every writer, in their writing life needs what I call ‘breakthrough’ in order to be successful. A breakthrough is something that makes a regular author or writer into a famous one (or at least famous for sometime).

Let me share my experience with you. I was just a regular hubber (that is what writers are called at HubPages.com) and trying to make it into the spotlight. I wrote about 30 articles that time and yet, I have failed to gain much attention in the eyes of the world. I was really trying hard to promote, backlinking my articles and even being active in various forums to increase my good name.

It was one day when I achieve my breakthrough by accident. One of my articles was getting about five comments and was voted up a couple of times on that day. This by coincident made my article being a featured article of the day. It was indeed my ‘breakthrough’.

I experience more than 100 views just for that article on that day and yes; the article was something I wrote my heart out. I would proudly say that the quality of the article was really good and readers were voting my article up and I even received tons of comments about it.

Within one day, I was suddenly ‘famous’ and it brought not only tons of traffic to the rest of my articles but also bring some nice income to my Adsense account. After that day, my life as a writer was totally different. In fact, my writing life turned 180 degrees and I even enjoyed more on writing.

I have to emphasize that ‘breakthrough’ will always be a short one. However, we must not get de-motivated of this because this is the norm of a writer’s experience in this industry. We have to continue writing and try our best to achieve another ‘breakthrough’!

If we really put our heart and soul into writing, I believe another breakthrough is just around the corner. It all depends on the time and yes, it will come very…very soon!
