Here’ a unique topic for article marketing I don’t read about every day. The sense of person. Do you write in first, second, or third person? Which should you write in? Listen as Asher Aw tells you how to avoid a costly mistake.

Article Marketing - Common Mistake #1 That Loses Money

By Asher Aw

Article marketing is a great way to get semi-qualified visitors to your site and it only requires a certain amount of research. If you’re wondering why you have an article that you expected to bring you lots of revenue totally bomb, you might be committing a common mistake that often goes unnoticed. I am going to show you what this common mistake is and what you can do about it.

There are essentially three “voices” in article marketing and they are first person, second person and third person. When you are speaking in first person, your article will have sentences that resemble something like “I think it’s better if you do it this way instead of that”. When you are speaking in second person, “You can do it better by implementing this”. And speaking in third person would be like “Get more information by going to this site”.

When creating your article, be sure to take note of what voice you are applying. Too many article marketers make the mistake of using the third person voice in an attempt to sound like an authority and then suddenly going into first person somewhere in the article. This would cause your attempt to appear as an authority to your readers to fall through straight away. And it happens a lot!

A simple tip to fix this is to re-read your article before posting it, making a mental note what kind of voice you are using for the particular article.

When you are using a third person voice in your article marketing, think of newspaper articles. They’re informative, unbiased and to the point. Pure information that’s given to the reader.

When you want to use a second person voice instead, think of magazine articles that feature a certain expert. If it’s a fashion magazine and there’s an interview for an expert, he’s going to be sharing tips in a way that sounds beneficial to the reader and at the same time, not as dominating and authoritative as the third person voice.

First person voice in article marketing has to be done carefully because it’s most likely done in a form that’s like writing a letter to your friend. It can get quite personal and that may or may not be the best voice that you want to use depending on the article subject

Clearly article marketing is the best way to gain relevant back links. Additionally these back links are gained slowly, not explosively; a characteristic search engines look for. In a very short period of time, your site becomes an authority site, and organic listings develop. It is vital to include appropriate anchor text, and links in the author resource box.
