By Rob Metras

In order to be classified as an expert on something you must write appropriate and knowledgeable articles. The articles need to be factual and show that you have a well rounded education on how to use or sell the product. Once readers have understood your articles and enjoy them then they will look for other marketing articles from you.

Articles used for marketing need to be able to connect with the reader. They articles need to be well written and describe the product well so that the reader feels it is a truthful story and informative story. Leave the door open at the end for the reader to have the opportunity to contact you for more information.

It is a good idea to come up with a short catch phrase that will make people remember you by. This phrase should be on all of your advertising materials such as business cards, stationary, and car signs. The phrase should have something to do with the online portion of you advertisement. If people can remember how to get to your site then internet marketing search engines will make your marketing articles more available to people.

How do you demonstrate expertise? One way is by giving people information they actually want. If you are selling solar panels online it might be beneficial to readers of your marketing articles to know what the average utility bills are in your target market and how much money having a grid connected solar system can save them because they will be selling power they donat use back to the utility company. Ask them to email or call for a list of tax incentives available from municipal, state and federal sources. Use the power of online internet marketing advertising to its fullest potential

Use powerful keywords to define your niche. You want to become the expert customers think of first when they want information about your topic. Think about very specific ways to make your knowledge appear distinct from what competitors are offering. What key words are people most likely to use when looking for your product? Are there forms of the word that can make you more visible to search engines? For example if you have a Yoga Studio, you might include the word school as well as studio so the search engines will find your article with inquiries including either of those words.

You might consider the use of an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) service. You could include links to other websites related to the subject of your article. At least one of the links could go directly to another website you own containing more information about a topic contained in the original marketing article.

It is very important that you carefully define the niche you want to dominate in such a way that it really separates you from others. Real estate is a good example of extensive niche marketing. There are even niches within a niche. There are recreation and second home properties which are often further broken down into beachfront homes, beachfront condos, golf properties, mountain properties, ski properties, lakeside properties, horse properties and even properties for automobile collectors.
