Online articles are utilized for brand and website promotions. Short, informative articles can also be used for ad revenues. If you write articles for websites or just because you want people to know about something new, promoting your articles is the best way to get your article seen. With these free promotional tools, you'll be seeing a jump in the number of visitors you get.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Articles online
  • Blog or website
  1. Step 1

    Make sure you have a URL to point people to. Many visitors will shy away from clicking on PDF or DOC links, so make sure that you article can be seen online without a download.

  2. Step 2

    Create a blog or free webpage to share your articles. A blog is a great way to get hits, especially if you have a large following. Webpages make great article indexes. This way, you can promote your index instead of each individual article.

  3. Step 3

    Join a traffic exchange. A traffic exchange will allow you to expose your articles to a new audience. Most exchanges offer free membership.

  4. Step 4

    Join online communities that would be interested in your type of writing. For example, if you like to write about car customization, join a forum or online community where you can post a link to your articles for anyone interested.

  5. Step 5

    Utilize social networking sites. If you're a member of MySpace, Facebook, or other social networks, use the blog or notes features to keep friends updated when you post new articles.

Tips & Warnings
  • It is important to thoroughly proofread your articles for spelling and grammatical errors.
  • Make sure that your articles are informative and useful for your target audience.
