The single most important thing to remember about article marketing, and the one thing most article marketers aren’t doing, is to provide valuable, unique actionable information in every article your write.

That bears repeating:

provide valuable, unique actionable information in every article your write

When you provide information in your articles that people can’t find anywhere else, where you drill down deep and give your readers explicit information that they can use right now, today, in their businesses and in their lives then you’ll be successful with article marketing.

Your information must contain these three characteristics:

• Relevance to your niche - If you write outside of your niche then don’t expect your articles to be read or published. The point is to get published so you can drive traffic to your website. Writing off topic won’t make you an authority in the niche market you are trying to reach.
• Authority - You must present yourself as an authority on your subject without looking as if you are patting yourself on the back. The way you do that is by writing about your topic intensely, with passion, and accurately on a level that your competitors are not able to reach.
• Search-engine optimized - The better you are at optimizing your articles the more likely you will be to get them published.

When you become a recognized authority in your niche because you are able to reach your market through articles then you’ll be well ahead of your competition.
