Creating A Traffic Avalanche Through Viral Articles

Do you have a website but struggling to generate traffic? Don't you wish you could just sit back and let the traffic flow in an endless stream? Can someone else do the promoting for you? Well you can! And it can all happen for FREE. That's right; we're not talking about paid advertising here. What we're talking about works better than paid advertising and doesn't cost you a thing! We're talking about article submissions.

Submitting an article to an article directory is a great way of generating traffic for your website, whether you're just starting out or just trying to increase the traffic to your site. All you have to do is write an article that would be useful to your prospects, and put a resource box at the end of the article with a link to your website. A resource box is just a small statement about yourself with a link to your site for them to find out more information. Then you submit it to a few article directories. That's it. Other people take over from this point.

What exactly happens when you post articles on an article directory is nothing short of a miracle. A lot of content hungry website owners and web masters check these article directories for articles they can use as content for their website or newsletter. But when they use your article, they agree not to change the article and to leave YOUR resource box on it. They advertise your website for you! You don't have to do anything.

I can hear you now, this all sounds great but I'm not that great at writing. Well you don't have to be! You're not trying to sell a novel here. All you are doing is writing something that you think would be useful for someone else to know. As long as it is helpful I'm sure there will be plenty of people who WANT to read it. And the more you write, the better your writing is going to get. So don't sit around procrastinating because you don't feel you can write good enough. Just do it. You'll get better.

This sounds good but is it really better than paid advertising? I would say a resounding yes and there are several reasons for this. First of all it is FREE. Second, it's viral. Take a look at this scenario. If you post an article on a couple article directories and only 10 people decide to use it in their newsletter. Each of these people has 2,000 people on their list. This advertises your site to 20,000 people. Now imagine if 100 people used your article or if they had 20,000 people each on their list. This stuff is powerful. Third, it establishes you as an expert in that field. People will trust you more and will be more willing to by your product if you've already given them useful information. Forth, after you've written a lot of article you can compile them into your own ebook and give it away for free (with links to your site of course) or sell it. Paid advertising doesn't even compare to this.

If you don’t believe this, just check out my own articles all over the web by google searching “R.G. Srinivasan” or "Gopal Srinivasan" and you will find the article marketing does work and work well. Don't waste any more time. Just start writing your articles now!

How to Build an Online Home Business Website



The first and foremost secret of running a successful online home business is to have a search friendly website. It is worth spending the time to make your site more search engine friendly, because it will bring you profit and appropriate exposure. Here are some simple advices on building successful web site for your online business.

How to build search engine friendly website? You can find plenty material when browsing the Internet, but a good foundation cannot sabotage your online initiative. A search engine friendly site is not just beneficial for top ranking in the search engines, but also helps to attract customers, thus getting business for you.

The first and foremost aspect of a website is to have a good domain name. The Domain name is your URL or Universal Resource Locator as in what a person types into the search engine bar like yoursite.com and others. Hypothetically, if your business is related to something like Learn How To then it is good to have the word "LearnHowTo" included into the domain name separated by dashes from other words or numbers. Generic domain names may not help in search engine listing. It will be easier to find the sequence of words within a domain name directly related to the main idea of your business.

Write your site content with at least two hundred words holding clear information of your products, services and business. The visitor and potential customer will be able to know about your business and get some information on products they require with a quick scan of the content. Apart from verbal description, you might use web design attributes to underline your point. Blinking texts, shocking colors and confusing animations on the web pages will more than likely to confuse the visitor and he may move on. Avoid excessive use of such web elements. The website must have a clean look so that the web visitor will feel more relaxed and get all relevant information about your services. If the looks are cluttered and confusing he will move within minutes and you have lost a chance to sell anything.

Navigation is another key factor in retaining your visitor and lead him on to pages which you want. Keep the site simple and easy to navigate. Complicated navigation will confuse the visitors. The navigation must be user-friendly and easily understood by the visitors. If you search through search engine results, you will find all the top ranking websites are optimized properly. These optimized websites make their presence felt in the search engines by making their site user friendly with good navigation, content texts, and Meta tags relevant to their websites, and having proper placed images. Why shouldn't you use such simple tool like navigation at your favorite?

Incorporating a news column in your web site design which is relevant to your site is also a great way to bring in traffic. Many people nowadays get their news online and do not watch much TV as they are online most times due to their work or otherwise. As in the above example of Learn How To many people have How To questions which they want to find the answers for which may be provided as a news item. A great advantage to having news on your page is that if it is well written other news sources like Yahoo and Google may take your masterpiece and put a link to it from their site. This would give you thousands of hits, and that is the goal of any website .

It is important to remember while designing your website, is not to trick search engines by adding hidden texts or hidden links, irrelevant keywords or text, or very small text which is hardly visible for human eyes. Key word spamming is looked down upon by all search engine. Google usually punishes these websites by giving them low rank or sometimes removing them forever.

If these fundamentals of web design and Search optimization principles are incorporate in your website It is guaranteed to make your job of bringing traffic much more easier. Building a poorly optimized website and then finding that you need to star over from scratch, because of faulty web design could put you offline and potential money lost.

How to Make a Fortune Promoting Other People's Products


There must be a reason why some affiliates succeed and some
fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some
affiliates profit substantially.

There must be a reason.

There is.

And that reason is this:  "super" affiliates start, sustain and
strengthen relationships with subscribers.

It begins and ends with a list.  Even a small one can be a
powerful, profitable mechanism if you follow these 7
guidelines...

1. CAPTURE THE OPTIN FIRST.

Instead of sending traffic directly to your affiliate link,
send them to YOUR site where you offer some kind of list for
them to join.  (Hint:  Mini-course works best)  Once you have
them on a list, they become an asset.  If you send them directly
to an affiliate page and they don't buy,  they're gone forever. 
On your list, you can follow-up  with them
indefinitely.

Note:  You can even redirect them to your affiliate link AFTER
they join your list, effectively getting them where you wanted
them to go in the first place.

2. DIFFERENTIATE THE OFFER.

Instead of sending out the same, tired, lame advertisement that
every other affiliate in the world sends out, write your own. 
Trust me when I say that many people find it  OFFENSIVE when
they receive two dozens duplicate emails from two dozen list
owners all promoting the exact same thing in the exact same way.
And even if they don't find it offensive, it's not as effective
if you simply rinse and repeat what everyone else is doing.

Hint:  Here's how you differentiate...

3. SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

Nothing - nothing - nothing speaks louder than RESULTS.  If you
want to lose a few pounds, who do you turn to?  Someone  who is
still struggling with their own weight or someone you've seen
drop 35 pounds?  Exactly.

The way you make your mailings / ads different is you speak
from your own personal experience.  This product or service that
you are promoting as an affiliate, how has it been useful to you
personally?  What results have you personally achieved? When you
used it, what happened?

Note:  If you haven't personally used the product, then shame
on you for trying to make a quick buck from it hocking it to
others!

4. OFFER A COMPELLING INCENTIVE.

Another way to be different - and to dramatically increase your
chances of getting a sale as an affiliate - is to offer some
kind of compelling incentive if someone buys the offer through
YOUR referral link.  Whether it's a special report or access to
an audio recording, personalized consultation or advertising, a
private training call or existing products and services, this
can be a highly effective method of converting fence-setters
into paying customers.

In order for it to work well, it must be UNIQUE (I.E.  You're
the only one making the offer) and USEFUL (I.E.  Something of
great perceived value to the reader).  

Note:  Don't have anything to offer?  Don't worry!  There are
many ways to easily obtain extra incentives:  conduct an
interview, hire a ghostwriter to create articles / reports for
you, buy reprint rights to other products, assemble a bunch of
free articles and other resources into a private access site,
etc.

5. LOOK FOR RESIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

Rather than exhaust your efforts on purchases that give you a
one-time commission, why not make the most of your marketing by
looking firstly for offers that pay out ONGOING monthly
commissions for your referred sales?

There are many different residual income generating services
such as membership sites (ranging from PT Cruisers to weight
loss), stock photos and clipart, hosting, autoresponders,
databases (from hiking trails to sermon outlines) online
magazines and a variety of other subscription based
opportunities that reward you with monthly recurring commissions.

While you definitely want a mix of types of affiliate programs
to promote, your priority should be in identifying and promoting
those services and programs that will pay you month after month,
instead of only one time.

6. BUILD A SALES ARMY.

One of the biggest untapped sources of income in any list is
that of "turning subscribers into partners".  In other words,
find those on your list who are interested in making money and
provide them with training and materials to promote affiliate
programs as well.

This has a two-fold advantage for YOU:

* First, if you find 2-tier affiliate programs, you can get
your subscribers to join the program through your referral. 
Anytime they get a sale, you'll earn a commission as well.  You
effectively get free commissions from their effort.

* Secondly, you can use their efforts to build your own assets.
For example:  If you provide them with a 10-page report to give
away to promote their affiliate link, you can include a page in
the report promoting YOUR list!  You effectively get free
subscribers from their effort.


7. MONETIZE FOR MULTIPLE STREAMS.

As your own list continues to grow, you certainly want to
diversify in your offerings.  (Not to the point of bombarding
your list with offers every day of course!)  

* Promote other affiliate programs.
* Create your own products. 
  (Even short $10 reports will earn profit!)
* Establish joint ventures.
* Co-author products.
* Cross promote.
* Conduct surveys.

There are MANY ways to make money from you list and keep your
list growing, growing, growing!

Remember, it all comes down to:  starting, sustaining and
strengthening relationships with subscribers.

And that's how you make a fortune as an affiliate promoting
other people's products.

How to Generate Traffic through Good Web Writing Techniques

NakedPLR



If you have been working on any kind of internet marketing business and struggling to get traffic to your website, then you need to focus on the key area of your business. You may well ask what the key area is and the answer is Article Writing. There are innumerable articles on how to write for the web. Much of them are the same old rehash without really getting to the few proven techniques that can make a difference to your writing and get you some quick traffic. Writing for the web is very different from writing for the print medium. Writing for the web requires some special abilities. Mastering these abilities is crucial to establish yourself as a well known author or content writer in this challenging medium.

Here are the key tips to make you an expert in writing for the web and bring on the cash producing traffic.

Make your document scan able
With huge amount of knowledge available on the net, people have very little time to read in a leisurely fashion. People scan a web page rather than read them. Make your document easily readable by using simple and short sentences. A few short sentences make short paragraphs. Short paragraphs are more easily scanned than longer ones.

Use heads, subheads and lists

Start the article with writing a header followed by short sentences. Use as many sub heads as required for different points. Sometimes you may also use a list to highlight all the important points.

The title could be short and work the best. However longer titles have the benefit of latest semantic phrases and are more search able.

Use of Keywords

Being searchable is an important aspect of Web writing. Whatever be the title of your topic, article or web page, use related key words and phrases as often as possible throughout the page. Start with a summary which has a higher density of these keywords followed by a liberal sprinkling of them throughout the copy.
However the use of keywords must be natural and should not be used without making sense just for being search able.

Provide links for additional information

This is something unique to web writing. Wherever you want to be descriptive or provide more information you can provide a link to the required page. While this makes your writing to the point, the reader has the option to learn more on the subject if he so desires.

Summarize

The best principle to follow in web writing is to “tell what you want to tell. Tell it. Tell what you have told”.

Start your writing with a small summary of what you want to say. Then say what you want to in the main content. Finally conclude by giving a summary of what you have said.

The key to traffic generation is content. The more and better content you can write the better would be your traffic.

Keeping these 5 simple but effective tips to write articles in mind for whatever you want to write for the web will make you more readable, keep your readers happy, lets the search engines find you easily and create your own satisfaction at being able to deliver quality content.

Everything you require for internet marketing success is here..at no cost.
