Content Sharing Sites

There are two main types of content sharing sites that you can use to build your business. The first type of content sharing site we are going to discuss is Article Directories. The biggest and most effective article sharing site is Ezine Articles. All you do is write an article about any topic you want and submit it to Ezine Articles and other article directories. For the body of the article, you are sharing information only. You don’t promote or link to your money site in the body of the article. At the end of the article, you create an Author Bio. In this section you tell a little about yourself and link back to your money site. The best way to use article directories is to write an article about how to use the product you are promoting then link back to your money site where people can buy the product you were talking about. The key is to make sure you provide helpful information before making your recommendation on what to buy. This way you are presenting yourself as a helpful expert instead of a pushy salesman.

In addition to article directories, there are other useful content sharing sites you can put your content on. Two of the most popular content sharing sites are Hubpages and Squidoo. They allow you to make web pages with your content. You can put in many different sections like pictures, videos, and surveys. Just like with article directories, you want to make sure you are providing good information before making the recommendation to visit your money site and buy your stuff. These sites have been used by a lot of spammers over the last couple years and are getting more strict on their rules, but if you are providing good information and not being overly pushy, you can still use them to connect with potential customers and get them to visit your money site.
