Do you use article marketing as one of your business strategies? If so, you need an ArticlesByYou.com website.
You can start out simple and forward your domain to your author page at your favorite article marketing directory.
Or you can use your domain along with a Wordpress blog to build a directory of all your articles available for reprint and benefit from these additional features and options:
* It’s easy to share all your articles with publishers or clients. If they know your name, they can remember your URL.
* Publishers or clients can go to your domain and read only your articles, without being distracted by other authors or advertisements.
* You can invite publishers to subscribe by RSS so they can be notified immediately when you publish new content.
* You’ll be able to quickly find specific articles for reference.
* It provides an additional method for backup of your articles so if you suffer a computer crash you won’t lose all your articles. (Learn to use your hosting space backup feature.)
Now that you know why you need an ArticlesByYou.com website, here are five steps to create your own:
1) Register your domain.
2) Set up hosting. If you’ve got a website hosting package already you can probably setup an add on domain at no additional monthly cost.
3) Install Wordpress. If you are hosted on a server with cPanel and Fantastico you can complete this step yourself in a few minutes.
4) Upload and activate your theme of choice. I recommend choosing a theme that has these three features:
- a search box that’s easy to find
- prominent category links, since categories will be more important for easy browsing than dated archives
- an RSS feed link built in so you don’t have to find and code your own
5) Set up categories and post your articles.
And don’t forget to post all of your future articles to your new blog, too!
