Once you apply the multipliers which is search engine data for content sites, affiliate programs for sales sites and then after one-time promotions, my #1 strategy which I have found to be the most effective method of getting traffic to new sites as well as old is submitting articles with a short promotional blurb in a resource box at the end of the article.

There are many avenues to get your articles distributed. You can posting articles at EzineArticles.com or GoArticles.com, Associated Content and SearchWarp all good places to submit. You can also use services like iSnare.com or ArticleMarketer.com and pay to have your articles distributed. Another way to distribute is to use software like Article Submitter Pro or Article Post Robot.

There is nothing wrong with any of these techniques. I have used them all successfully. But there is a much, much more powerful method of article marketing that most marketers miss- ezine and newsletter marketing.

First I want you to get a grip on the potential of article marketing and then I want you to get a grip on how small of a slice of the pie the above methods cover. Go to Google and type your one word topic followed by the word "article" and then followed by the word "articles". So if your topic is "golf", then search for: golf article, golf articles. Then repeat the above process using "ezine", "ezines", "newsletter" plus "newsletters". I want you to make a note of how many search results are returned for each of these -these are the results your competition is missing. Thousands of article marketers are all competing for the attention of just a tiny fraction of the total market for article distribution, while missing the important ezine and newsletter channel for distribution.

This is where ArticleROI can be a powerful tool in your arsenal - it submits to hundreds of built-in ezines and newsletters, and allow you to add an unlimited amount of your own, custom publishers.

1. The "Affiliate Tease" Strategy

The "you will buy my product anyway once you see how well it sells..." strategy informs future customers that you aren't going to force them to purchase your product before they join your affiliate program like some businesses do. You will show them how much confidence you have about your product and they will assume they will have a good chance to make a lot of money by joining your affiliate program.

2. The "Check It" Strategy

The "check any of the boxes that apply to you..." strategy informs future customers to take physical action or interaction with your sales letter. Sometimes when people take a little action or get physically involved in the sales process, it sets them in full motion to buy and gain their desired benefit.

3. The "Junkie" Strategy

The "I have a confession to make: I'm a (type of product) junkie..." strategy informs future customers that they aren't the only addicts who purchase product after product to gain their desired benefit. It will show them that it's okay to invest in your product even though they may already own a ton of similar ones. Plus, tell them why your product is different from the rest.

4. The "Advertising Specialty" Strategy

The "bonus: a (your product's name) T-shirt..." strategy informs future customers that they are going to get a specialty item as a bonus which they can use in their every day life. You'll get free offline advertising by placing your product information on the item. It could be your product name, web site address, etc. Some good advertising items are coffee cups, bumper stickers, key chains, pens, license place covers, etc. You can also tell them the quantities and that it's on a first-come, first-served basis - once you run out, that's it.

5. The "Commission Call" Strategy

The "make (no.)% commissions on this call..." strategy informs future customers that if they sign-up to your affiliate program and promote your free tele-call they can earn money. Just tell them to get people registered for the free call and you'll help close the sale for them. You could even tell them if they make over so many sales they will get a prize; the product or higher bonus commissions.

6. The "Myth And Fact" Strategy

The "MYTH: (a description of the myth). FACT: (a description of the fact)..." strategy informs future customers a myth that would stop people from purchasing your product and a fact which quickly eliminates the myth. For example, MYTH: You need a big investment to start your own business. FACT: You can start your own successful business today for only $10.

7. The "It's Your Fault" Strategy

The "if you don't (your product's benefit) this (week/month/year) it's because you didn't read this letter..." strategy informs future customers they won't benefit unless they read your sales letter. In your sales letter you can give them tips for gaining their desired benefit but tell them your product will allow them to gain their desired benefit quicker and easier than your competition's.

8. The "Perfect Time" Strategy

The "have you ever wished you were in the perfect place at the perfect time to (your product's benefit)..." strategy informs future customers they can take advantage of one of those situations by purchasing your product. You can tell them that you have a new feature that your competition doesn't have; you offer a patented benefit that no one else can offer; you teamed up with another business so you can offer them more for their money; etc.

9. The "Behind The Scenes" Strategy

The "I've secretly helped successful (topic) experts for years..." strategy informs future customers that you work behind the scenes to help these experts become successful. You can even ask the experts that you've helped to give you an endorsement or testimonial. You can tell them now you are finally going to allow the masses to get your help and product so they can become successful too.

10. The "Personalized" Strategy

The "it can be personalized..." strategy informs future customers that they can custom order your product with their business name, web site address, logo, or any other advertisement on it. If it's just for normal consumers, you could say their name, picture, pet, age, etc. Or if it's going to be a gift for someone else, they can personalize it with that person's personal information.

If you are seriously thinking of using articles marketing to drive traffic to your site, pull up your search engine ranking, establish your expertise in your chosen field, and generate more income, you need to uncover these 5 intriguing methods so you can jumpstart your article marketing:

1. Make sure that you only submit original content. Copying somebody else's work in article marketing is a big no-no. This will not only tarnish your credibility online, but you will also be penalized by major search engines.

2. Target human emotions when writing your article. Instead of focusing your efforts on logical reasoning, touch your readers' emotions by pushing their buttons. How? If you are selling diet pills, focus on how weight gain affects the confidence and social life of your readers.

3. Keep your paragraphs shorter. Ideally, you should explain one idea on every paragraph. As a writer, you must be able to explain that idea in 4-5 sentences. You can easily do that by finding the most appropriate words to get your message across and eliminating fillers and fancy words to make your paragraph direct to the point and brief.

4. Provide your readers with useful information. Make sure that the content of your articles contain information that are highly relevant to your readers. If they are facing problems, be sure to offer solution. When you do this, online users will appreciate your writing and you will build a huge following in no time.

5. Make every word count. When you are using fillers and other unnecessary words on your articles, you are wasting your readers' precious time. To make your readers feel that you value their time, strike out words that do not help you in getting your message across.

You did it! You finally took that leap of faith and started your own business. You have a website, and you are ready for your first client. The only problem is no one is visiting your site. With so many websites online, how do you make your company stand out? How do you get people to even know your business is alive? Marketing is not just for the major fortune 500 companies. Every business needs a marketing plan. No matter if your company has one or two employees, or one to two thousand employees. In this article we will look at a couple of different ways to market your site.

The first thing you want to do is submit your website to all of the major search engines. This will include Google, MSN, and yahoo. By doing this, it will allow the search engines to crawl your site and index it accordingly in the natural listing. The natural listing is the list of websites that appear on the left hand of the page. Another method would be sign up for sponsored ads, or pay per click ads. This can be done with one or all of the major search engines. You will create an account, and set up a monthly budget. You will then create ads and list of keywords appropriate for your website. When consumers are online searching for a particular product and enter your keyword, your ad will show up in the sponsored ad section. This can be found at the very top, the very bottom, and the right hand side of the page. You pay a set amount every time someone clicks on your ad, which is really a small price to pay for a potential customer.

Email marketing is another great way to gain customers. Make sure you have a sign up box on your website to capture email address of your visitors on your site. There are several companies available to help you with this, and many of them come with a free trial period. Constant contact and I contact are a few good companies to take a look at. It is important that you have the consumer's permission before sending them an email. You do not want to be accused of spam. Not only does spam turn a customer off, it is a quick way to get a bad reputation for your business.

Make sure you get professional business cards with all of your contact information listed. You want to include your business name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, and of course your website. Hand them out as often as possible; during business functions and even at the grocery store. You never know where a potential customer may be. Flyers are another great marketing idea. You can have them printed professionally or if your budget is tight, print a few yourselves. All you need is a color printer, glossy paper, and a software like adobe PageMaker, or Microsoft word. Post your flyers wherever possible; grocery stores may have bulletins, your local library, and your local community center. Once you start to gain customers, it's important to keep in contact with them. It is much more expensive to attract a new customer then it is to have a repeat customer. Send out postcards to keep them abreast of what's new with your company. Let them know when you will have sales and promotions or if you have a new product available. You can even send them a birthday card or a Christmas card.. This will keep you on your clients mind.

If you put all of these methods into action, you will start to see traffic to your website. And of course, the more traffic to your website, the greater chance you have of making that sale!

First of all, we must define success in article marketing. If you do not know what you are trying to achieve, then how will you know if you have made it or not?

Before we can even talk about how to define success in article marketing, we must think about what are the possible goals with article marketing.

There are two general ways to make money with article marketing: direct traffic, and building long term inbound links to help you gain high search engine rankings for long term traffic.

In the first case, direct traffic, you will be writing a larger number of articles (100-200 per month if you are fulltime online) and submitting them to a small number of high-traffic article directories.

In the second case, you will be writing a smaller number of articles (perhaps 10 per month) and submitting them to up to about 200+ article directories online. This will create high numbers of backlinks to your web site, which will help increase your search engine rankings, so you can develop long-term sources of income.

Which to choose? I think you should have some mix of both of course you have to decide how much of each you want, as any time spent on one takes time away from the other.

One of the biggest keys to success with article marketing is quantifying your goals online and with article marketing, then going out and doing them. That means if you commit to 200 articles written and submitted this month, if you get behind you simply have to work extra to catch up.

At present the number of web sites on the Word Wide Web is on a rise. This number is increasing steadily. The reason of this very quick increase in the number of web sites on the internet is that the internet has become a very important source of collecting information these days. Most of the businesses are also carried out on the internet. In this situation it has become really difficult for the web sites to stand out of the crowd.

There is a lot going on in the world of internet. It is simply not possible for the web sites to survive without proper promotional backing. The internet marketers are using many ways of promoting a web site nowadays. Some of these methods are traditional while others are nontraditional methods of promoting a web site. One of the ways is article marketing. If you want to excel with article marketing, you can follow certain ways.

1. Submit as many articles as possible. The more articles you submit, the better will be your chances of getting a better page ranking.

2. Your articles must be related to the product or web site you are trying to promote..

3. You must pay close attention towards the requirements of becoming a search engine favorite while going for article marketing.

4. The quality of your articles should be good. If the quality is not good, the article will not be able to help you out in article marketing.

5. Be original. On the internet all the copied content is seriously disliked by the search engines. All your efforts may go in vain if the search engines note that you have submitted copied stuff. Keeping this in view, being original is the most important way to go about article marketing successfully.

Article marketing isn't just about writing articles but more importantly, it is a productive way of providing your potential clients with information they need to better understand their problems and be open to your suggestions to resolve the pressing issues.

1. Sell your products. Although blatant advertising is a no-no when writing your articles, you can subtly sell your products. How? By talking about problems or issues that can be resolved by your offerings. For instance, if you are selling home security devices, you can talk about home burglary, home break ins, and the importance of protecting one's home. By doing so, you will create awareness as to how your product can play crucial role in your potential clients' lives. This can increase your chances of convincing them to make a purchase.

2. Make your articles scannable. People online do not usually read the articles word for word. They mostly skim through the article content looking for keywords that will take them to the information they need. Help them out by making your articles scannable. Use subheadings, bullet points, and numbered lists. You can also use short paragraphs for every idea that you present on your article.

3. Master the art of selling. In article marketing, it is not enough that you have the ability to produce quality, well-written articles. You must also know how to use the elements that can potentially persuade your readers to make a purchase. Be credible, persuasive and learn how to build up your product so your potential clients will see it as "something they cannot leave without".

4. Make use of powerful resource box. It should be compelling enough to get online users to click on your website's URL.

Q: How do you motivate yourself to write articles everyday?

A: You know what? That is a really good question. As I think about it, you are really asking two questions -

1. How do I get motivated to write articles everyday?

and

2. How do I stay motivated to write articles everyday?

Fortunately the answers to either question apply to both questions.

How to get and stay motivated to write articles everyday

I have several tips for you which I will share in bullet point form -

• You need to write regularly to get and stay motivated. Writing regularly keeps you in the flow of article writing and makes article writing much easier.

• When you are writing regularly, you see article ideas everywhere.
• Keep a pad and pen with you or a voice recorder to capture your article ideas as they come. One of the most de-motivating things that can happen is to have a great idea, not capture it, and then not remember the idea when you sit down to write about it.
• Keep in mind at all times the results of regular article writing and marketing. You may even want to write the results down somewhere that you can see everyday. In addition to the pure pleasure of writing, the results are the most motivating factor for me. I don't hope - I don't think - I know that the more articles I write, the more traffic, prospects, subscribers, customers, fun and profits I am going to have.

And with your permission, I'd like to offer you free access to two of my Article Writing Templates that will help you write everyday. You can download them by going to

Article marketing is one of the very best ways that you can build a six figure income. I am sure if you have just read that previous statement you will want to read it again.

You may have written a few articles and gotten some results, but not realized how powerful this method of marketing actually is. However, it is a numbers game and the more articles that you have out there the higher your number of subscribers and sales.

So let us look at how you generate money from article marketing in forensic detail. You need to write articles focusing on your niche market and submit them to all the article directories. Here you will get free search engine traffic because these directories have a very high page rank. You will include a link to your squeeze page in your resource box. When somebody reads your article and likes what you have to say they will click through to your website and subscribe to your newsletter. Using your autoresponder you can follow up and convert them from a subscriber into a paid customer.

Now one of the biggest problems with article marketing is that you need thousands of articles to generate a six figure income. Also writing and submitting them to directories takes a very long time as this is extremely time intensive. So for most people they simply do not do the volume that is required to achieve a six figure income.

Now the expert article marketers outsource everything. They may have started doing everything themselves to get everything going and generate a profit, but once they start earning a decent income they hire people to write the articles and submit them to the different directories. Using sites like Elance you can easily find people to do all of this and I know of one article marketer who pays a dollar for every article that gets written.

Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

Here's the answer:

You can easily promote your business using article marketing without spending any money on advertising. It does however require work as you need to write articles on a consistent basis. The benefits are significant. You will build link popularity to your web site as the articles are viral in nature. Other publishers will pick up your articles and publish them to their web site increasing the number of links pointing towards your web site. Also search engines will pick up your articles increasing your traffic.

However to succeed at article marketing you need to learn writing skills. You need to produce professional articles of a high standard. If you do not like writing yourself you can always hire a ghost writer which will allow you to still keep your name on the article. You can use services like Elance to find one. There is a lot of competition on the internet so you should be able to find one and get a good rate.

Here are the main reasons why I promote my business using article marketing. The leads are very responsive up to ten times better than leads from other sources. It does not cost anything. With the high prices of ppc and ezine advertising it can be very difficult actually running an internet business at a profit. Also you may not actually convert these leads into paying customers as they are not responsive as leads from article marketing.

Article marketing forms the back bone of my marketing efforts. I do use other methods to promote my web site as well, but I still find this to be one of the most effective ways to promote my business. The sooner you start using article marketing to promote your business the sooner you can also generate high quality very responsive leads.
