Writing the content for any article marketing campaign may not be the most important part of the task. If you expect readers to actually click from your articles to your website,  you should attend to a few details to be sure the resource box is performing as it should.

The article body and the resource box should actually present one continuous flow of information. Since it isn’t really a box at all, your readers should perceive the resource box as only the final paragraph of your article body.

When composing this element, write in a way that will create a desired response from your readers. The purpose is to maintain the reader’s interest, and “sell” her on the benefit of clicking the link that leads to your website or whatever other destination you have planned for her.

Don’t incorporate more than two links, and by all means avoid the temptation to throw a sales pitch at this point.

Also, do not list your qualifications and accomplishments. A majority of readers will not be interested in how great you think you are. Above all, your resource box should be concise, short and to the point.

Here is what you need to include in your resource box:

- Include your full name. Any article will automatically lose points in credibility if the author is anonymous.

- Include a full URL to your website or other destination – example: http://www.yourwebsiteURL.com

- Include a few words to explain your USP – or unique selling proposition. Why is your offer or your information different or better than any other? Focus on providing a clear benefit and a specific call for the reader’s action.

- Your newsletter or blog access, where applicable.

- Where possible, use keyword oriented anchor text for your resource box links. A trite and threadbare “click here” will not get attention from search engines.

Here is one last thing to keep in mind. Your resource box is not intended to be about you – but rather about your reader. Offer her a real benefit that will easily pass her “what’s in it for me” test.
