Discover how I used this article internet marketing strategy to bring free traffic to my site

Do you know how to get hundreds or even thousands of people to come to your site without paying a single penny for it?

If you don't then this post is for you.

Let me explain...

I discovered a couple of years ago how to get traffic to my site without out paying for it by luck really. I was getting low on cash and was considering shutting down my website..when one day while discussing my problem with a friend he mentioned that since I liked to write that I should submit my articles to an article directory...

What he said completely flew over my head...I said..what is an article directory...and how much will it cost me to join.

Now imagine my surprise when he said that they were free to join and I could post as many quality articles as I liked.

Well, I'm no genius, but he didn't have to tell me twice.

So I went on a streak of writing a new article everyday for 30 days.

After that I made it a habbit to write at least one new article every week.What happened next nearly floored me.

In my signature box I would often advertise different products or services I was affiliated with when I wasn't advertising my own site. As time went on, I started to get notices from the affiliate programs that I had a new sale. One here one there and so on and so forth. Now it wasn't earth shattering numbers to begin with..but it was consistent.

Now if you want to learn how to get free traffic this is just one of the many strategies you can use to do so.

The idea here is to create an article about a problem your target market is facing. Next after you've shown them what life will be like having this problem- you'll want to then let them know there is a solution..primarily in your product or service.

After you've done that lead them to your signature box for more information.

Here's a quick tip.

What you offer in your signature box should be a direct extension of what you talked about in your article.

For example..if you wrote an article about how to create an ecourse using autoresponders...then a logical extension in you r signature box would be an autoresponder service.

Th Honest To Goodness Truth About Fire Sales

Ok..since this blog is relatively new..this will be my first rant if you will...

Now...before I tell you what I'm ranting about let me first say this...I am a true fan of marketing. I like to study what works what doesn't and why. Once I've answered those questions, I pass it on to people like yourself.

Anyway...my issue is with fire sales...you've probably seen them before. Where some marketer claims that he or she has some highly sought after information that they are basically giving away because of their ridiculously low price. And you better get them now because they only have 100 copies available..and once thery're gone they will never offer anything like it again.

Don't buy it...it's a scam..

Yep...it's a quick way to plant the seed of urgency into your mind and an easy way to get you to make an emotional decision.

Why do they do this?

Because they know that it's part of your human nature to use your emotions first and justify your purchase later with logic. But by then it's too late.

What these marketers should do instead of having a fire sale is provide honest, useful, quality content that their readers can use. Then there wouldn't be no need for fire sales. Their customers would be eagerly awaiting their next product.

The Top 2 Ways Internet Marketers Can Generate Free Traffic

Today I want to talk about something that's very important to the future of your online profits.

Whether you're making $100 a month or $5000 a month - the principle will still remain the same.

Your profits will continue to shrink unless you know how to keep a steady flow of traffic flowing to your site.

There's no way around it...no matter how good your conversion tactics might be...if no one ever shows up then it doesn't matter.

With that in mind I want to introduce you to the only 2 forms of traffic you can get.

1. Paid traffic
2. Free traffic

What that means is this...

You're going to have to get traffic through your efforts (free traffic) or through your poketbook (paid traffic)

Let's take a look at 2 ways for you to get free traffic to your site.

When I talk to my customers about maximizing their sites profits there's always one question that seems to pop up.

They often ask... can they really get free traffic?

And my response is sure you can.

But..I also remind them that it will take effort on their part to make it work.

If that's ok with you...then I'll give you 2 of my favorite ways to get free traffic.

==>Search engines

This one is quite popular. The idea is to get your site listed in the top ten search results.

You can't trick the search engines, dont even waste your time trying... however the easiest and best way to get traffic is to provide content...and lots of it.

Make your site helpful to human readers. If you do that..you will do fine. When you try to outsmart the search engines you'll go broke buying the latest and greatest thingy that simply won't work..or it won't work for long...

Create a content rich site and the search engines will reward you by displaying your site when people search for that kind of information.

==> Articles

Without a doubt marketing your site with articles is the #1 free traffic method. And the best part about using this method is that you don't have to write like stephen king to do well either.

All you have to do is write a short article... about 500 words wok best...

You'll need to describe the problem that they're facing and also provide ways to solve that problem.

Once your article is written you can submit it to article directories, ezines, and other website owners..

Next, write and submit an article at least once a week..and pretty soon you'll have interested visitors coming to your site.

The Internet Marketers Secret Headline Writing Formula

Ever wonder how some of those high traffic websites get people to read their long salesletters?

Is it trickery? Do they know something about how your mind works that you don't?

Well, if you guessed that internet marketers know something about your mind that you don't...then congradulate yourself...because you're partially correct.

Because I want to keep this post short, I won't go into great detail about what it is that marketers know about how our mind works..

But I will give you a quick snapshot of a simple headline writing formula that they use that you can begin using within minutes after you've finished reading this post.

Now most marketers know that one of the easiest ways that you can get your target market to read your salesletters is by triggering their curiosty. Now I know that somewhere along the lines you've probably heard that before.

But I want to add a little something to it. To move you beyond just triggering your prospects curiosity.

Instead, if you simply add a benefit along with triggering your prospects curiosity...then you'll come up with the following formula.

curiosity + enticing benefit = attention

The best way I know of to show you how this formula works is by showing you this formula in action with a few examples to look at.

"How to collect free grant money from uncle sam for any reason"

"Forbidden Health Cures"

"How to collect social security at any age"

"The amazizing direct mail secret of a desperate nerd from ohio"

All of them..they all use curiosty along with a benefit to grab your attention.

So give it a try..and see how it works in your ads.

Finally you can learn about the 2 words that savy internet marketers use to create captivating salesletters

Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to write ads that spoke directly to your target market and would make them feel like your product or service was the answer to their problems?

And to be able to do it in an open and honest way...without resorting to any kind of trickery...

I'd assume that you'd want to know about it right?

Well the technique is a simple one really.

All you have to do is use 2 of the most powerful words in the english language.

In fact I've used them several times already.

They are the words you and your.

I know, I know, you've heard this many times before...and you want to know something new right?

Well how about this.

Within the first paragrapgh of your ad...try to get the word you and your in there. Your readers will feel like you are talking directly to them when you can fit either of those words immediately after your headline.

Here's another tip...after your first paragrapgh...sprinkle the word you and your throughout the rest of your ad.

Your readers will be more responsive because the words you and your secretly suggest to their subconscious mind.."me and mine". This will give your reader the thought of ownership.
