I think articles are probably the easiest cheapest form of marketing on the internet. To begin with they are free to post on as many directories as you can. There are people who actually read articles, plus webmasters publish them as content. They lend credibility to you and your business. The key factor to getting benefits from writing an article is to make sure it shares good information and is not a sales pitch.
There are Several Benefits to Article Marketing:
Online Business Credibility " Providing information to your readers through articles shows people you know about your field or industry. This builds your reputation and raises awareness of your brand. The result of this is that people trust your products, or recommendations if you are an affiliate marketer.

Your resource box that concludes your article has information about you and directs people to your site. If another webmaster choses to publish you article, they leave the resource box there, building a link to your site. Several webmasters pulish articles on their site, therefore building a wide network of links to your site.
