Article marketing, it allows you to multiply the efforts of one article to market your business both online and offline. Yes, it’s true, with article marketing you can write one article and use it to market yourself again and again.

How? You may be wondering? The way article marketing works is that you compose an article for your business in your area of expertise using keywords that you have researched and  know what your target marketing is searching for and hopes to find. Then, you distribute the article to article banks or directories, which then distribute your article, well everywhere. Depending on which article bank or directory you use, your article could be picked up and used every where from an ezine to The New York Times, from magazines to local print newsletters. You never know really!

So, when article marketing, write well, distribute thoroughly and include a strong resource box. This will help to give your article the best chances of working for you, and you want your article to “go the extra mile”.

Article marketing to truly be effective must be done well and done often. Start your article marketing campaign today by hiring A Writer for Hire. We now have article marketing packages available to meet your needs. Check them out here and let’s get started.

As I spoke of yesterday on my personal blog and as you know, I am a writer, and while I enjoy writing sometimes I lack inspiration.  One of the things that I have found that has a way of giving me inspiration is PLR, that’s right, Private Label Rights articles.  Though not always written the exact way I would write them, or even something I’d publish as my own, that’s really not what they’re meant for and so, instead, I use them for inspiration.  Reading them gives me inspiration to write my own articles on similar topics.

There’s a contest going on over at the Online Business Writing Blog that would surely help me out with this as they are giving away some PLR and more!  They are giving away the following:

First, I want to tell you about all the great new things you can get at the Special Report Club besides a 2000+ word PLR special report:

Just a few weeks ago I announced a new service here. Wordpress is “all the rage” and it is definitely my favorite way to maintain my websites and blogs. I love the platform and enjoy working with it and tweaking it so much that I am offering to do it for you! Plus, at an inexpensive price at that.

After deciding to offer this service I wished that I could do more. I wished that I had design capabilities, but those abilities I do not possess, therefore I sought them out. I was in “want” not necessarily need of a new blog design on my mom blog so I sought someone out. I found an awesome designer over at The Mom Bloggers Club, we began communicating and she did my new blog theme. You can see it here. She was able to capture all the elements that I requested and I am very happy with the results.

Then it dawned on me, she might be interested in a joint venture, so I inquired. She was excited and immediately we began working on details, which enables me to announce to you today more great services available to you with the help of Sarah from Real Life Design.

Here are the services, but you can find more information here.

You can receive everything from a 5 Minute Makeover for your blog to an Extreme Makeover, these options include a custom header or an full blog theme designed by RLD and installed by Wordpress Install for Hire, yours truly.

Look forward to working with some of you!

Carrollton, MS – What happens when a writer’s plate gets full and she still wants to offer the same quality articles written in her style allowing her clients to receive the same-targeted service? She recruits a team of like-minded writers with a similar writing style and commitment to quality to work alongside her in providing exceptional service for her clients.

This is precisely what Alyssa Avant, with A Writer for Hire is doing. She has recruited a team of writers to assist her in producing the same well written, high quality, fast turn-around articles and other content for online business owners and entrepreneurs. Effective immediately, A Writer for Hire, is no longer just one writer, but a team of writers committed to providing clients with articles and other content that is “on target, on time, every time”.

A Writer for Hire is the ghostwriting business of momprenuer Alyssa Avant. She began this business to help support herself, to contribute to her family budget while she pursued her passion to minister to teen and tween girls. The business has grown successfully and she is excited about this new expansion.

Alyssa’s clients are from a variety of fields, but trust her to provide quality articles and content for their website and other materials in their businesses.

Shannon Cherry of Be Heard Solutions had this to say about working with Alyssa, “When I thought about outsourcing some of my writing, I was a bit unsure. After all, I am a professional writer and I was worried that no one would capture my voice. Alyssa Avant not only nailed the content I needed, but she was fast, accurate - and very, very good. And she sounded just like me. I’ve found my writing clone and couldn’t be happier.”

“I plan to ensure that the writer’s I hire provide the same quality articles that I have become known for, my clients will not be disappointed.” says Alyssa, who will now be known as the Head Writer at A Writer for Hire.
