Writing Articles Is An Easy Way To Increase Website Traffic

June 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Have you ever had one of those amazing, middle of the night ideas that will not allow you to get back to sleep until you have written it down and fleshed out all the details?

What happens in the morning when those details are fuzzy, but you can still remember the idea, even if you have a hard time reading your writing done at 2 in the morning?

You write an article about it, post it to the web, and hope that someone reads it and likes it, right?

That does not happen as often as one would like, so article writing on any and all subjects that hold human interests is a great way to achieve more website traffic and more readers.

By using article writing, you can show you readers that you not only understand the subject you are writing about, you understand its finer points, and can hold a discussion about its details that other webmasters cannot compete with, thus gaining you more readership.

This will help establish your reputation as an expert in the specific field of your subject and direct more traffic to your website. Because you are an expert in the subject that you are writing about, you can gain more web traffic by concentrating on a specific group of readers who will find your subject of particular interest, and tell their colleagues and friends about your web site, thus increasing your traffic.

To increase your website traffic even further, you can write articles on your specific niche and submit them to other websites. Be sure to add a one-way link back to your site, so that people who are searching for more information on your subject are directed to your site.

Before submitting to other directories make sure and run several spelling and grammatical checks, along with having a fresh set of eyes read it before sending it in, so that you look incredibly professional and other readers want to read your next article, instead of looking amateurish and losing readership because of that.

When writing an article, whether for your money site or for submission to another website, you need to be certain that your article is complimentary or enhancing your topic for which the article is written. Writing an article on gardening to submit to a painting site is not a good way to promote yourself, submitting the same article to a website promoting outdoor hobbies or home and garden topics would better serve to increase your traffic.

While, technically, gardening and painting all belong to home improvement topics, they are very different in the nature in which they are done to improve the home. They are also different in terms of tools for both indoor and outdoor areas of the home.

The more specific one can be with their niches, the more readers they can get from posting to niche specific sites. The addition of a one way link to your website that includes a specific word that is predominate in the article is critical to the success of gaining more traffic to your site.

5 Ways to Promote Your Teleseminar for FREE

August 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Now that you have this great new information to give your target audience via a teleseminar, how are you going to get people to Opt In to the call? This can be an especially daunting task if your current subscriber list is under 1000 people, but it is a pursuit that every information marketer must conquer in order to achieve any amount of success. The first thing you will want to do is to create a plan or strategy of ways that you will get the word out about your call.

Here are 5 FREE ways that you can promote your teleseminar to build your list of subscribers who are eager to hear what you have to say.

Step #1: Use social media! Do not be afraid of places like Facebook and Twitter. Social media sites will be one of your greatest lead generation resources and your presence and regular contribution will generate followers who are looking for exactly the information that you have to give, for free!

Step #2: Write articles and list them with article distribution services. Spend some time brainstorming every possible question your target audience might have and then write 500-1000 word articles answering each and every one of them. Your resource box or bio is where you will give a little shout out for your teleseminar and a link to your Opt In page. Do not forget to include a free offer (like your teleseminar) in this space! A call to action will produce many more leads for you than just displaying your message.

Step #3: Read blogs and forums specific to your niche and comment on them. The more active you are in forums, discussion boards and posting comments about your area of expertise, the greater the amount of traffic that will funnel to your site. Always make sure that you are giving great information (not just promoting yourself) so that people will want to follow you! If you simply post information about you and links to your pitch pages, people will stop following you. However, if you are providing useful tips and comments, people will love you for your wisdom!

Step #4: Email your list and partner with other marketers who have big lists in your niche. Send regular emails to your subscribers. If you do not email your members, you are missing sales opportunities! If you want your subscribers to be happy, there is a fine line between emailing too much and not emailing enough. An email at least once a week is enough to give your list some good information and remind them to come to you for their niche-based needs.

**If your list is still on the small side, find someone with a large list to partner with, so they can email their list about your call! Tell them they can offer your teleseminar as a bonus for one of their product launches. Or better yet, have them sign up for your affiliate program and they can earn commissions if anyone from their list buys from you after the call. Always think win win for everyone involved.

Step #5: List your call with event listing services. There are many services where you can list the details of your call and include a link to your Opt In page. For people who are looking for a call to hop on that day, this can be very helpful and rewarding. List your call on as many of these services as possible if you want maximum exposure and a bigger list of subscribers.

We know of only one service where you can actually have two savvy mompreneurs send out details about your teleseminar for free, twice a day (check resource box). However, the simple listing directories work well too. Remember, the more places you list your call, the more callers will likely be on the line for your teleseminar and the more sales you can potentially make.

Do not underestimate the power of adding your call to one of these free listing services as they are designed to make it easier for you to get the word out about your teleseminar, so you can build your list and make lots of money. Now, go get started with the teleseminar promotion action plan listed above and spread the news about your very important call. Your listeners are waiting for you!

If Copy is King, Context is Emperor

August 26, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Not too long ago I came across a debate on a now-defunct Internet marketing discussion board concerning sales letters. One camp argued that a sales letter should stand alone and follow a specific format. The other camp argued that the sales letter should take into account the context of where, when, why, and by whom the it is likely to be read.

As it happened, the debate arose over a particular sales letter that many in the first camp regarded as ‘weak.’ In this case, the sales letter was the final element in a product launch sequence of communications, preceded by a series of pre-launch emails, reports and videos.

The first camp believed that the sales letter should have stood on its own merits, while the second camp believed that it was fine as it was and should have been judged within the context of the pre-launch / launch sequence. As for me, I was – and am – very much of the second camp.

As the title of this article indicates: if copy is king, context is emperor. Effective communication always takes into account the context – who is reading it, and why, how, where and when they’re reading it. Indeed, context is the reason why, for example, many participants in high profile Internet marketing product launches don’t end up reading the ultimate sales letter. They’ve already been ‘sold’ by the sequence of pre-launch emails, videos, reports and other elements.

For that reason, the sales letter at the end of the pre-launch / launch campaign does not, in some ways, have to be as ‘strong’ as, say, a sales letter that does not follow a pre-launch sequence.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the sales letter that comes at the end of a product launch should be put together as though it’s an after-thought. There will be some people who have either not gone through the launch sequence, or have gone through it and aren’t convinced, or for whatever reason want to read every word of the sales letter.

What proportion of people fall into this category will vary according to the situation, but it will usually be significant enough to justify putting a lot of effort into creating a top-notch sales letter. In fact, in recent launches I’ve seen marketers continue tweaking the sales letter after making the product available, clearly indicating the seriousness with which they regard the sales letter.

But the point remains that a product launch sales letter is likely to be different to one used for an audience that has not been ‘pre-sold’ in any way. Some may regard such a product launch sales letter as ‘weak’ because of this, but chances are that it wouldn’t be effective for the vast majority of readers if it was the same kind of sales letter used for a ‘raw’ audience.
