Which Works Best for Article Marketing - Quality or Quanity

Ice age is long gone. Where we are now is the time of fast and easy. There's the fast food, fast cash and easy to use things. The idea of doing almost anything in a shorter span of time sometimes compromises the quality of the work. But in this era, is quantity more important than the quality?

Being a newbie in the field of online writing, a research after research is a good way to gain necessary knowledge. So, I did my researches and just then that I realized that in article marketing quality is not everything. To win the favor of search engines and online readers, a good balance of both quantity and quality is needed.

Now the question is, why is that?

The answer is simple. Entering article marketing with a plan of making it big by simply writing few exceptional articles will not just work. Increasing that few quality writings to piles and piles is the job to do it right.

A single article of high quality will not be enough to give a site a high page and alexa rank. Neither will a thousand poorly written work. Article marketing, in its purest sense is the use of articles to market products or services. This simply means that by using this strategy, the profit of your business depends on the online writings that you are making.

If you write rich articles yet in just a few number, you will have a slim possibility of being known in the virtual world. It is true that your good works might be noticed. However, the small number of your online writings cannot strongly establish your presence in the internet.

But let say that you have written and submitted more than enough articles, this is good right? Yes it is, only if your works are of good grade. No matter how many articles you had published, this number cannot always ensure that your works are being viewed and appreciated by users. Though this might show that you exist, a sub- standard work can always hinder the trust of your prospected clients or customers.

Good number of articles in article marketing going hand in hand with good quality can open great business opportunities. This will not only establish your visibility but also will reflect your capability as an expert writer.

Writings for article marketing should work both in quality and in quantity. By maintaining a good balance between these two, your online writings will sure be the way to your success.

Three Basic Rules of Online Writing

Article marketing is now becoming a big biz in the world wide web. Online entrepreneurs had been making so much money out of this at a very small expense, that for once, you might consider (or might have considered) joining the pile of aspiring online writers.

It is true that money is good in writing. But the question is, is your writing worth the money? Clients hire writers because of the value they can get from them. They pay them because they believe that what writers write is worth the money they spend.

To be able to be a good writer, as in good enough to be paid, there are three basic rules that I believe should be followed:

Be accurate and articulate. In article marketing, people read your work because of what they can get from it. The more accurate your work is, that is sticking to what you are writing about, the more your audience is drawn to your work and much more to you. By writing articles with correct spelling and grammar, you can establish yourself as a professional writer, reliable of the information you give them.

Keep it Short. Online writing is different from writing in print media. On the net, your audience is in a faster pace. Users tend to just scan articles and if they think there are useful information that can be taken from it, only then that they will spend time reading it. You need to keep the article short, approximately 300-500, so as not to bore the reader. Making a long article will confuse readers and will make them loose their interest.

Give it a Good Title. An article, no matter how good will not be of great value if not first noticed. In order for your work to be read, it must catch the attention of the audience. Titles should be interested and unique. It must present the topic of your writing and must be in a form that promises a great deal of worthy reading.

The internet is offering a vast opportunity in writing. There are even people who had been making this online writing as their source of living. With proper ways on how to do this, then we can truly say that money is good and easy in writing.
