Article Marketing - How to Use a Powerful 3 Tier Approach to Submitting and Marketing Your Articles

Q: I've recently started submitting articles in my niche as a relationship coach. While I've been blogging for a little while, I'm really green when it comes to submitting articles. So here is my main questions - Are there particular article directories you'd recommend?

A: I use and recommend a three tier approach to submitting my articles.

Tier One - EzineArticles - The biggest, the best, and you get the most traffic from EzineArticles. You want to get as many articles as you possibly can up on EzineArticles. Visiting their blog on a regular basis is a good thing to do as well.

Tier Two - Other high ranking article directories - The next step you want to take is to submit a variety of your articles to the next level of higher ranked Article Directories. All the addresses for the following Article Directories end in "dot com" -

• ArticlesOn
• GoArticles
• ArticleHub
• ArticleMarketer

These directories all have a high Alexa ranking, which measures the amount of traffic a web site receives.

Tier Three - Niche Article Directories - Next you want to submit your articles to niche directories that specialize in articles in your niche. For you, as a relationship coach, I'd recommend FreeCoachingArticles.com and ConsciousRelationshipArticles.com Another way to find article directories in your niche is to go to Google or Yahoo or your other favorite search engine, type in your keywords followed by the phrase "article directory."

So you would type in "relationship article directory." Check out the results you get and consider submitting your articles to a few of these as well.

Take this 3-tier approach and you can really explode your article marketing.
