How to Get My Ezine Articles Viewed

It is difficult to get views for your Ezine articles without using multiple promotional techniques.

If you have written an article you have completed only one-half of the craft of writing for the Internet. Writing is difficult enough as it is, and when writing for the Web, writers need to promote their articles to ensure readership. Sometimes all you have to do is write for a popular website; many times you must promote your own work. It may take a while to see the results, yet with time your articles will see rising page views.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Internet connection
• Ezine
• Social networking accounts

Instructions

1. Write good content. If your articles are filled with errors, you will lose repeat visitors. You should aim to write timely, compelling and well-organized articles. Pique the readers' interest enough to want to read other articles you have written.

2. Use keywords throughout your article. Good keyword usage varies by topic. Do not over stuff a story with keywords. Search engines use keywords to find content to recommend to people who are searching for a topic. Make sure you use keywords in your headline/title and opening sentence.

3. Share your content with friends, family and colleagues. Email articles and use the "share" button to help your work go viral. Publish your articles on a wide variety of sites, blogs and forums. Become a guest columnist for your community newspaper, local arts magazine and trade journals.

4. Use social media. Sign up for websites like Twitter, Tumblr, StumbleUpon, Facebook and LinkedIn. Promote your article.

5. Create backlinks. Backlinks are an important tool to help you improve your rank in search engine results. Link to your Ezine from other websites. The more backlinks you have, the higher your site will rank in the search engine rankings. Seek bloggers who are like-minded to mention your articles.

6. Use paid advertising. This is probably the last resort if you are having trouble getting people to view your articles. AdWords by Google is well-known, and there are many others. Make sure when you sign up you direct users to the homepage of your Ezine rather than a particular article. This way the views can be distributed across various articles on the Ezine rather than just flooding a particular article. Encourage viewers to "bookmark this site".
