Summary:
- Make a Six-Figure Online Income In Record Time, Without Spending a Dime!
- Due to the outstanding success of my Article Marketing 101 thread in the Warrior Forum (Article Marketing 101 - Everything You Need To Know About Article Marketing In One Place!) and to celebrate my internet marketing anniversary, I have decided to compile a more up to date version on the subject.
- I still see a lot of complaints, failures and some people still look down on this method of traffic generation, simply because they are ignorant about its true power.
- Therefore I'm going to make a step by step procedure, with a catch.
- If you complete this plan of action to the line, and you don't receive tens of thousands worth of targeted traffic, I'm going to pay you $500.00 USD.
- That's right, if after 1 month of the completion of this outline, you have not achieved tens of thousand of targeted visitors, you will receive $500.00 USD after showing me all of your work.
- This step is in fact quite simple, but it's also one of the steps most people have a wrong idea about.
- Usually, everyone tries to find that untapped holy grail, a niche with low competition.
- And although such niches do exist and you can profit from them, that's not where the real money is.
- You want to go for a niche with extremely high competition, where there are proven buyers and massive demand, otherwise there would not be such competition to begin with.
- Untapped niches normally have a low demand, and hence not much profit can be made there, at least not so easily.
- High competition is only a good thing, because there are several ways in which you can leverage, intercept and profit from that demand, without having to beat the titans at it.
- Anyone with decent writing skills can make great profit using this in a highly competitive niche.
- Here's another commonly misunderstood step, often skipped altogether.
- When in fact, this is the pillar of Article Marketing.
- Most beginners and even some advanced internet marketers believe that you can acquire massive amounts of targeted traffic by simply submitting hundreds or even thousands of articles.
- This concept comes from the idea that high traffic article directories, such as EzineArticles, will get your article more views and therefore you will receive more traffic.
- The articles will get more views, but you won't receive more traffic.
- All those views are coming from people surfing the article directory, so they are completely untargeted, they don't want what you have to offer.
- They will not click on your link and much less purchase whatever you're promoting.
- The true key to article marketing is not in how many articles you submit, but in the search engine rankings achieved with those articles.
- In fact, 10 articles can beat 1,000 articles if you know what you're doing.
- So I want you to grab your favourite keyword research tool.
- If you're on a low budget, I recommend using the Google Adwords Tool.
- Pick all countries and territories, english language and exact matches.
- Unless of course you are geotargeting a specific country and you wish to promote a local business.
- If you can actually make a small investment (which you should as soon as you have it), then I highly recommend Micro Niche Finder.
- You DO NOT have to target specific niches and directly related keyword phrases.
- For example: Someone interested in fitness, will also be interested in weight loss.
- Someone interested in self defense, will also be interested in pepper spray and tasers.
- A 25 year old bachelor will be interested in getting rock hard abs.
- After you're done, come back here in order to proceed.
- You must find 100 keyword phrases with less than 500,000 competing sites in Google and at least 3,000 monthly searches each.
- To find out the number of competing sites, simply Google the keyword phrase under quotes, i.e: "keyword phrase".
- A lot of people will say that there are several other factors when measuring the competition, and they're right.
- But under this scenario, and with what I'm about to show you, this is the only thing that you need to know.
- Once you have that 100 keyword phrase list with those parameters, we can continue.
- In my experience, there are only 3 article directories out there that work for this precise purpose.
- 1. ArticlesInAClick.com - The best article directory in terms of SEO, I personally contributed in the search engine optimization of this site.
- Not only is it based on Wordpress, it also has built in social bookmarking and the best part, it distributes your articles to the top 25 article directories out there, including GoArticle and EzineArticles.
- 2. GoArticles - The second best article directory in terms of SEO, but the design is horrible and it has way too many ads, which will only result in you losing traffic to them.
- 3. EzineArticles - The best positioned and highest traffic article directory out there.
- But it also has way too many ads which will result in you losing traffic to them.
- Since my favourite is ArticlesInAClick.com, I will use it here as the example.
- I suggest that you write you articles in Notepad, simply because it's clean.
- Microsoft Office might bring some weird html elements into it.
- Grab 1 of your keyword phrases from the list and do some research about it.
- The resource box is perhaps one of the most important things in the article, your traffic depends on it.
- If you are using article marketing for the backlinks, make sure your link is in anchor text with the keyword you want that page to rank for.
- 1. You can simply add an affiliate link or CPA link in the resource box and send them directly to the merchant's page.
- PPC on the internet, online marketing, advertising business and other innovative strategies to make your business boom!
