Articles form the basis of some of the most powerful marketing. When you've authored an article, it can establish you as an industry expert and its editorial context gets far more credibility than any advertising you can place. If you're able to write articles on your own, it only costs you time. If you can't write the articles or don't have the time, then your investment in a ghostwriter is probably still less than the cost of an ad of the same size, and will often do you a lot more good.

 

(A ghostwriter will write the article on your behalf and take none of the credit. You will be fully credited as the author for your article, and you'll hold the copyright.)

 

Of course articles can just be placed on your website, which amounts to website content. But a good article can also make it into industry magazines (great exposure and possible pay) or entered into article marketing websites. These websites allow online newsletters and other publishers to simply pick up the article and print it ... but they MUST include your bio (including a link to your site). This generates traffic to your website directly as well as indirectly (through improved search engine rankings, which is an invaluable aspect of this) and establishes your credibility. I've written articles that were read thousands of times in this way.

 

I can help to develop articles for you AND help you to get them placed where needed. For instance, I can help you with submissions to industry magazines if you like. Or I can set you up on a good article marketing site and submit your article on your behalf.

 

My rates are provided on a flat-rate basis. Online articles of 300-700 words are just $150, and that price drops when you buy packages of 5 or more, to make better use of my research time. Longer articles, or articles for print, are quoted on an individual basis.
