Yogi Berra once said "it ain't bragging if it's fact". Based on this statement I feel I am qualified to offer article marketing tips. After having written and submitted thousands of articles, both for myself and for customers, I have a pretty good idea what works.

1. Article length. Write articles of 400 to 500 words if you are going to submit them to article directories. Write articles of 200 to 250 words if you are going to post them in your blog.

2. Maximizing an article use. One trick that works very well is to write a 200 and 250 word blog article and post it in your blog. Bookmark it to social directories using Only Wire.

Take your blog article and add more content to it until you are at 400 words or more. Then submit it to the top article directories.

3. Article submission tool. I use Submit Your Article because I can reach hundreds of article directories with their service.

I also like their patented Article Leverage Program for rewriting articles and making each one unique before it is submitted. Once you get the hang of this it only takes about 15 minutes per article.

4. Proofread your articles. Since I use a dictating tool to write my articles, sometimes the words I say do not come out the same way in the article.

If you are not a real good typist you may make mistakes as well. Spending a couple of extra minutes proofreading your article for grammar and spelling errors is time well spent.

5. Article videos. I like to take one unique version of my article and convert it into a video. I personally use Article Video Robot because of how easy it is to use.

You can get as fancy as you want with this service. You can use their voice over feature to have your articles read. You can add graphics to each screenshot as well.

You can also just paste in your article and submit it that way. The key to benefit from this is to get your keyword phrase in the title and in the description before you submit it.

You can submit the video with one click of a button to up to 17 shared video sites. I normally focus on getting them submitted to You Tube and Yahoo.

My rationale here is that Google owns You Tube, and Yahoo is the second largest search engine, so I want my videos submitted to theses sites for potential search engine rankings.

6. Write more. It is a simple fact that the more articles you have online the more benefit you are going to get from them. Most Internet marketers do not truly appreciate the enormity of the Internet.

Get a system in place that allows you to crank out as many articles as you can each day. Depending on the amount of time you have start thinking in terms of 10 to 20 articles a day. You will be amazed at the results this produces over a period of time.
