Resource Box

Ezine articles are one of the main ways to promote a website or offers in the internet marketing world. It is as effective as it was many years ago as it was now. Of course, things have change back then and now. Back then many Ezines are written to please Google for a better ranking, but these days, people use Ezines in a much more different way.

The most avid Ezine marketers will say the change is for the better and that it is much easier to publish their offer now via Ezine then how it was before when everyone was just spamming the same content all over the internet.

The only problem with writing and article is that it takes a lot of time and effort to come out with consistently good articles but once you get a lot of articles out there you will see the results in terms of traffic back to your site. If you play your cards well you will definitely be able to profit and monetize from this traffic.

Below are some of the benefits of Ezine article and how it can help your business grow.

Resource Box

The resource box in most Ezine sites is used to put your link back to your own landing page. This is very important because without this, there will be no point in writing the article in the first place. The best way to use this resource box, which is right after your article, is to treat is like an advertisement spot. You will try to entice the readers of your articles to read more, and thus they have to click and land on your site in order to find out more.

Some use the resource box section for branding as well where they will talk about their own expertise and explain this status in the niche while placing a link back to their main website. This all depends on what you hope to achieve from the article and how you wish to promote your website.

Here’s what happens when you publish your articles on Ezine directories. Your article either get read by the site visitors there or people may choose to republish your articles on their own site, which will in turn get you even more traffic and link back to your own site.

It is through this resource box that people will know who the original writer is, and if they click on your link you get the traffic. Hence this marketing strategy can potentially go viral is your article is indeed well-written and provides a very high value in it.

Inbound Links

Needless to say the link in your resource box serves as an important inbound link or back link to your site. If your article gets republished by many other website owners, you get a lot of natural inbound links back to your site and thus your site will be noticed by the search engines. In extreme cases, your site will even rank highly on these search engines without you even trying to do any search engine optimization strategies at all.

Building credibility

As I mentioned before there are people who use the resource box to build credibility and brand themselves. This is rather a good strategy because before anyone could ever land on your main website, they already get a sense that you are someone who is credible.
Therefore, if you are using this credibility building model, consider placing testimonials on your landing page to further enhance the trust level of these site visitors that came from your articles. When it comes to credibility in internet marketing, we believe that it is priceless to have site visitors who treat you like an expert.

Because the internet is full of scams and bad seeds, having the advantage of site visitors who actually trust you is beyond priceless. And this could be done with just placing some good branding on your articles and help other people with their problems. You will find that you will go a long way if you are honest and actually provide a solid solution to help other people’s lives.

Receptive audience

Another great way to build your business with Ezines articles is to provide an opt-in page for better contents on your landing page. When you build a list from giving away good contents first you will find that your list is very reception indeed.
A list of receptive subscriber can be very valuable to your business, and most gurus will take a lot of effort to maintain the list and build them as a long-term strategy.

Reuse the articles.

It takes a lot of time to write an article. That’s a fact. And many internet marketers are reluctant to write them because they believe it could be a waste of time. This is very far from the truth. When you have an article written, you do not need to be using it for only one time. You can actually use it for multiple purposes.

One way to use your written Ezine is to turn your articles into an eBook. Or better yet, you could take the effort and change it into a video and upload it into video sharing sites for even more exposure. And since all these methods are freely shared all over the internet, the chance of the article that you wrote getting a lot of exposure is good. And if it goes viral, your one-time effort will be rewarded beyond believe.
