Articles

One of the many blessings that I have received as I have learned this business is that I have learned about article marketing.

When I first got started, I tried many forms of traffic generation, and I was actually able to achieve a lot of traffic. But the traffic wasn’t what I call effective traffic.

To me, effective traffic is traffic that wants something from me. Effective traffic is traffic that wants to learn from me, buy from me, and send other customers to me.

Another thing that I have learned is that list building is critical to my success. I build lists that convert my traffic into buyers. You see, by building a list, I can reach that traffic time and time again.

So where does articles and article marketing come into the list building picture?

Well, if you think about it, if I am building a list out of my traffic, and I want a list that is full of buyers and responsive subscribers, I have to start with responsive traffic.

And I have found that articles and article marketing provide a really high quality traffic source.

Why?

People who click through after reading articles are already pre-qualified to like your style. They have been presold on your ideas, on whatever it is you are promoting.

So how do you do it?

1) Write articles that give relevant information for buyers of your website.

2) Submit the articles to the top three article directories online.

3) Be sure and send article traffic to a squeeze page, not a sales page.
