How To Create An Author Box For Businesses From Home

A free article on Network Marketing

By: Francina Smit

Writers loose a lot of free advertising due to the all important Author box that was not used for maximum benefit. An Author Box or Bio Box or Signature box is one of the most outstanding marketing tools for Businesses From Home. This box, that is shown beneath your article, is extremely powerful for affiliate marketing or any website owner to better Search Engine rankings for your article and your website, because of all the back links generated back to your site or sales page.

Not only will your rankings gain from this but if you write intriguing articles with good substance that is grammatically correct, the reader will in all likelihood want to know more about you and click on the link you provided in the Author Box. More articles, more clicks, more money for Businesses From Home. Make sure the links are connected to the article content. Do not link to your faux paintingl website in an author resource box attached to an article about the health benefits of a day spa!

It will even be better if the links come from high-ranking websites. Good article directories have great traffic and strong Google page rank, so publishing data there increases the probability that people will see and read what you have to say, in all likelihood follow the link and increase sales for Businesses from home. You can even include some links in the body of your article but some directories do not tolerate this. Submission guidelines of Article Directories should be read to make sure what their rules for acceptance are. Many of the top directories accept as many as 3 links and Html. too.

Author box/ Signature rules of thumb:

1. Your full name must be the first detail in your Resource Box (and your title if applicable).

2. You can write a sentence or two about yourself. Keep it brief.

3. It is very important to use your keywords in the Author Box but too many will defeat the purpose.

4. Your marketing pitch or particular selling suggestion. Personally I feel this is optional. This is after all an article providing needed information and not a sales letter. Give the reader the choice to follow the link included in the Author Box without pushing them to do it. Let them decide from themselves.

5. Your website address with a valid URL (make sure it is a live link).

6. A call to action. It is a great idea to use your bio box to give away a free report, book or newsletter.

A good bio box can be the difference between making sales or not, getting high SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) or not, and gaining reader admiration or not. You will be getting the name of your Business from home out there, supplying value in the article, building your believability and name, acquiring a one-way link for it from your author bio box and at long last, you can get some additional free traffic from your article if readers click on the link to your website. Many article directories also have URL click counts that permit you to see how many people are clicking the URL in your resource box.

Too often you see people whom have spent a substantial amount of time writing a outstanding article, only to be let down by a poorly written, incomplete or confusing bio box. You give other webmasters permission to publish your articles on their own websites or in newsletters by submitting it to article banks. The only condition is that the Author Box must be kept intact.
