How 7 Articles Made Me $4,800...
It's a strategy that the top marketers have been using for years
and years now - they even tell us to do it, but most of us are
just too lazy! Well, I crawled out of bed and decided to test
the strategy and was absolutely blown away!
Over the course of two months, I wrote a total of 7 articles
that I published in a few places (I'll show you where in a
minute). Then, I got sick as a dog and was in and out of the
hospital.
Guess what? During the time I was sick and not working, my
articles went to work for me - it was amazing. In just a few
weeks I sold about 20 memberships to AffiliateClassroom.com, and
am still selling till this very moment.
Over the course of a year those 20 memberships are going to earn
me about $4,800 in profits. Can you believe that? Here is
exactly what I did...
I wrote an article of around 500-700 words on any topic related
to internet marketing ranging from "How to use solo ads" to "How
to get approved for Google Adsense." Now, you're asking, well
how do I write articles?
============================= How to Write Killer Articles
=============================
1. Headline - The most important to get someone to even read the
article. 2. Introduction - To hook the reader 3. Body 4. Closing
5. Resource Box - The second most important to generate traffic
~~~~~~~~~ Headline ~~~~~~~~~ Focus the most on the headline,
introduction and the resource box. Your headline needs to be
catchy and needs to make a promise - the person should know
exactly what they will get after reading your article.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once they're reading
your article - you need to hook them to read the whole thing,
that's the only way they will read your resource box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Resource Box ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is where you tell
them something about yourself and then make an offer to get them
excited enough to click a link and visit your website. For the
best response, send them to a page where you can offer a fr-ee
course.
============================ Why Should You Use Articles
============================
I'm going to cut through the chase and get to the point, you use
articles for various reasons - they do more for you than you can
imagine - here are just a few:
1. TRAFFIC 2. SALES 3. Brand yourself 4. Brand your website 5.
Fre-e incoming links to your site 6. Become known as an expert...
Bottom line, NOTHING bad can ever come of writing articles -
only good. That basically means that you have no excuse to not
write articles to promote yourself.
============================ Where To Post Your Articles
============================ There are many places that you can
start promoting your articles, here are a few:
1. Submit them to ezine publishers 2. Submit them to article
directories 3. Submit them to websites
Now, all of this can be very time-consuming unless you develop a
system to help you. I use 3 different automated systems to help
me: A service called SubmitYourArticle.com, a software called
Ezine Announcer and I also submit directly to ezines who accept
articles.
If you want to learn exactly where to get these resources and
how I use them, please visit http://www.AffiliateClassroom.com -
we did an entire case study on this topic in February, 2005.
The bottom line is that you want your article to get out as much
as possible. However, once it's out, you never need to worry
about it again! It will continue to promote for you for years to
come without you ever having to manage it.
============================== Final Strategy You Should Use
============================== I really recommend directing your
resource box traffic directly to an opt-in page. Start building
your list with this strategy and you can profit for a long time
to come. Think of the infinite profit potential if you build a
list!
============= Final Note ============= Do not expect this
strategy to pay off in a day, a week or even a month. If you
really want to use this strategy then be ready to be at it for
months. Put in some work now and you will profit from it for
years to come.
