Let's look at 5 unique benefits writing and distributing articles online can offers any business on a budget.

GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION

When you submit articles to the article directories you are creating the potential for your articles to appear on every corner of the planet. Being the internet is a globally based community your online articles are now accessible to anyone anywhere with an interest in the topic you wrote about. In addition to this there is no time limit on how long your article stays in distribution. An article written today could still be in circulation 2 or three years from now depending upon the quality of content within your article.

RECYCLE YOUR ARTICLES

The more articles you incorporate into your marketing strategy the more content you now have to use in other areas of your marketing mix. These articles can be restructured for use as blog posts or perhaps you can create a series of emails out of just one article.

If you have a number of related articles you may consider combining them into one cohesive product such as an ebook. Now you have a product you can distribute for free to increase the exposure of your online business, use as a giveaway to build a list of subscribers, or sell for a profit.

MULTIPLYING YOUR MARKETING EFFORTS

When you recycle your article content into additional by-products you are now multiply the online advertising effects of a single article. Repackaging articles and then reintroducing them into a different aspect of your marketing plan brings you additional exposure from a one time effort.

COMPREHENSIVE INTERNET PRESENCE

By restructuring and repackaging your article content you can now introduce it into different marketing channels. You've now more fully 'blanketed' the internet with your presence. People who may read your articles may not see your ebooks, blog posts or emails. Using these different forms of web advertising insures a broader range of coverage that encompasses a greater variety of people using the internet.

INCREASES CREDIBILITY

The last benefit mentioned here is one you can't get from any other form of online advertising and that is credibility. When you submit articles for circulation on the internet the content is usually helpful, informative, or useful in some form or fashion to many readers. It stands to reason that the more you submit the more credibility you build with readers. This then translates into the perception of the author as being somewhat of an expert on the subject. In turn you now have gained more trust from your readers. This should benefit both you and your online business being your marketing efforts will be more effective.
