Getting The Most Mileage Out of One Great Article

by Dayne Dylan Banned
10 replies
Hey Warriors, I'm putting together a formula to get the most mileage/exposure out of each unique article I write. I'm not talking about 400 word junk articles. I'm talking 1000+ word solid content articles.

In any case, here's my plan on each article. I'd like to know your thoughts on ideas I might be missing...

1. Post Article To Own Blog, Wait Until It Gets Indexed By Google
2. Submit Article To EzineArticles
3. Social Bookmark The Blog Article Using A Third Party Service.
4. Create A YouTube Video Of The Article
5. Create A SlideShare Video Of The Article

What other components am I missing?

    Hi,

    You could BUNDLE up those articles overtime.

    Then ORGANIZE them enough so that they make sense and create your own
    product(s) out of them.

    Now you can build your buyers list and enjoy the freedoms that list
    building can bring.

    Share what you know.

    People will always be willing to pay you if you're willing to solve their
    problems and answer their questions for them.

    Hope this helps you out.
    Gavin

    You could also:
    * Post in an authority site within your niche and link back to your article in your blog (provided you're also giving good content within your authority site post)
    * provide a link to your blog post article in a facebook page - and while you're there make some relevant comments on facebook pages in the same niche

      The most powerful leveraging factor is to get articles published in niche-relevant ezines, newsletters, blogs, and even offline publications such as magazines and newspapers.

      Publishers are almost always hungry for quality content, and for any given commercially viable niche, there may be thousands or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of suitable outlets.

        While I understand the 'concept' of syndicating articles through online resources, I am still a bit vague as to "HOW?" offline publications benefit online efforts.

        Is it safe to assume, magazines and the likes will allow a similar 'resource box' as do online publications (ezines, bloggers, website owners, etc...), whereby the author can essentially display their web address or a specific URL in the 'offline' resources such as magazines & newspaper articles?

          Offline publications aren't as paranoid about giving credit where due as the average IMer. Typically, you'll get your home page url included. You won't typically see the usual 'in your face' resource box used with article directories.

          Get a mention (either a whole article or a quote as an expert) in some magazines and you put your name and url, with the publication's implied endorsement, in front of thousands to millions of people.

          In the case of business trade magazines, putting your name in front of even several hundred highly targeted readers can be more effective than an article buried in some "high PR" blog's archives. When I was a practicing engineer, I got free subscriptions to several trade magazines, and I tended to save them to use as resources when I wanted to buy something.

          It is customary for offline publishers to give authors a "byline"; a short credit statement at the end of the article which may include email and/or url.

          This is a nuance of content marketing that has been known and exploited by savvy marketers for more than 200 years, and more recently with radio, TV and other media.

          An excellent resource for locating print editors is "Writers' Market", which includes contact information and publication-specific details for submitting articles.

            Well I can definitely foresee getting some extra mileage out of the resources being shared in this thread!

            John - Thank You Sir!

            It never really dawned on me to write about the several offline trades I possess, and after doing a little research on your mention, I can see a lot of potential in writing to those audiences to drive traffic to some future online ideas.

            Paul - Thanks for the share!

            Excellent resource (*Writer's Digest) - definitely a good place to start exploring offline publishing opportunities (*9,000 of them, that's HUGE!!!), and for a mere $40 per year... awesome!

    Hi Dayne,

    1: good tips

    2: I get 14,000 or more page visits daily to my blog writing 500 word articles If you write well, you could publish 400 or 500 word articles, and you will kick ass.

    3: Good points;also consider consolidating a bit, and posting G Plus or Facebook notes.

    One main point; keep writing. Get solid mileage out of solid articles but never let your writing skills erode, because I find it easier to write an excellent, lead generating 500-600 word article in 30 minutes versus a 1,000 word article or longer in an hour or 2....gives me more free time.

    Thanks for sharing.

    On #2, I'd add "Submit article to authoritative websites in/around your niche". That way, you'll be seen as a go-to expert for analysis, new developments, etc. You'll also wind up getting alot more targeted eyeballs on your content than you would if it was just floating around the article directories. Once you've got a list of GOOD sites you can guest post on, it's quick and easy to send them your latest stuff.
