I recently talked with a friend of mine that has been able to achieve over 70 leads a day for free in his online marketing business. Can you imagine what that would do to your business if you could do that. Now I am not talking about a team a people that is doing this. I am talking about one guy. He also has been doing article marketing, which by the way, is absolutely free. And get this, he has only been doing this for two months.
This guy has really learned some secrets of how to market using articles. If you have not heard of him, his name is Dave Wood and he has been hitting it out of park lately. He did a few webinars over the last two weeks where he shared some of his techniques and I wanted to tell you about them.
First, you write articles that are interesting and that people would link to hear about. How do you do that if you have little experience. Well, since David was in this position he chose to interview some people that did have the expertise and thereby giving his articles creditability. Do you think you could do that? How about you attend a webinar where you learn something interesting from someone who has had success in the industry and you write an article about that. The point is you do not need to be an expert. You just need to listen to one and then write an article that others will want to read.
Second, you must know how to market the article. In order to get others to ready your article you must get it in as many web sites as you can as well as get the search engines to promote your article. This can be done by posting your article to all the free article sites you can find on the Internet that have back links to the original article. When the search engines see that your article has so many other sites pointing back to it, that gives it creditability and the search engine will rank your article higher for the key words you have used. Now posting the article on hundreds of sites can be very time consuming unless you have an automated tool to do it. There are several tools out there and I will share with you later the one that Dave and I use. With this tool you can post your article to over 200 sites in a matter of minutes.
Third and the most important part of getting traffic to your web site using articles it to be consistent. You must write articles regularly so that people will trust you. The more you do it and the longer your do it with good articles you will gain more and more creditability. They can’t just be articles, they have to be articles with good content. In order to do that you will need to attend webinars, read books, listen to CD’s and grow yourself and your knowledge about your market. Eventually you will be able to write your own content from your knowledge. Since this is an industry that continues to change you will need to continue to learn and grow so you can create new and fresh content. This is never ending processes although it will get easier the more and more you know and can add your own in sites to what you are learning each day.
Please let me know what you think about this content. I welcome all comments. I hope that it helps you to be able to attain what you want out of your business.
