1. Be a Guest Blogger – Some bloggers solicit guest articles, in which case you can create a blog post and submit it for consideration. For example, my articles can be found on blogs like Cathy Goodwin’s Copy-Cat- Copywriting Blog. A great resource that will help you find bloggers who want content is: BloggerLinkUp.com

2. Submit your articles to the top, targeted websites and ezines. For example, I get traffic every day from my articles that are being found on sites like About.com, Microsoft Community Dynamics, Fast Company, Bank of America Small Business, MarketingProfs, SiteProNews and thousands more. You can get a complete, customized database of websites and ezines that you should submit articles to at: ArticleSubmissionSiteDatabase.com

3. Trade Newsletter Articles – If you like the idea of trading content, then consider trading newsletter articles with other people in your niche. Here’s a great tip for you: Look for those who also post their newsletter issues on their blogs, as you’ll get the benefit of a backlink and ongoing traffic!

4. Invite people to become your affiliate. Then provide your affiliates with articles and videos that they can use on their websites, on their blogs and in their newsletters. If you’re in front of your affiliates face all the time with new content for their readers,they’ll be more willing to promote you – and send you ongoing traffic.

5. Compile your articles and create viral, re-brandable special reports. Using a tool like ViralPDF.com, you can create a report that allows others to change the affiliate links in a report to their affiliate links. This way anyone who distributes the report has the opportunity to make money on the backend. The more money they make, the more they’ll distribute the free report, which means more free traffic for you.

6. Turn your articles into videos and promote them on sites like YouTube. You can use services like Traffic Geyser to get your videos broadcasted on hundreds of sites that your audience goes to. Now, not only do you have articles bringing you free traffic, but you also have videos working for you as well.

7. Host a teleseminar. Ask an expert in your industry to come onto your very own teleseminar. You can host as many teleseminars as you’d like for little money with services like Instant Teleseminars. Ask the experts to promote the call to their list and have everyone sign up on your own squeeze page. This way, you capture everyone’s name and email. Make sure you gettranscripts, and then turn them into articles that you can submit and get more website traffic.

8. Become a teleseminar guest. On the teleseminars, promote a squeeze page where you offer a free special report or special incentive. For example, I often promote: Free Article Writing Templates where you can get 3 free article templates. From there, I have an autoresponder series, which further educates prospects on article writing and articlemarketing. And, of course, I promote the complete article template product that you can get at: StartWritingArticlesFaster.com

9. Provide thought leadership content and share information that no one else is providing. This way, others will want to Tweet and retweet about your content. They’ll share it on their Facebook pages. And, email their list.

10. Promote other people’s products in your own articles and special reports. One of my new article marketing coaching clients has a walking shoe reviews site. The first thing that came to mind was to create a special report “The 2010 Top 10 Best Walking Shoes For Your Health!” Inside this report, he’ll reveal the best walking shoe brands and why. He’ll show you how to buy the shoes online (through his partnership link so he can get money!)And, more importantly, he’ll write articles that promote the special report as well as a press release so he drives traffic to his site. He’ll also write a press release for the shoe companies to submit as well for even more exposure and website traffic.

Now, if you like implement these ideas, you will begin to get more website traffic now without spending lots of time and energy.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing a Great How-To Article:

1. Pick a Topic in Your Niche – Think about things that you have done that require a specific set of steps, like how to install a toilet, build a bookshelf or make a 3-bean salad.
2. Lead with a Great Title – What is the top benefit of your informative article? Use that as your title. Try this template: “How to [get/save/become] and [insert big reward here].” In his book, Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich, copywriter David Garfinkel gives these examples:
   • How to Save Time and Get Things Done (Time Management Coach)
   • How to Get a Better Job and Make More Money (Recruiter)
   • How to Save Money and Retire Rich (Financial Planner)

   You don’t have to use the words “How To.” You could just say “Install a Toilet Yourself and Save a Pile of Money” – or whatever.

3. Begin with a Simple Introduction – Maybe relating a personal experience as to how you came to know about the topic the hard way – or, conversely, how simple it was to learn.
4. Include a List of Supplies, Tools and/or Resources – If your reader is going to need something besides their wits to accomplish the task, tell them upfront so they can prepare everything in advance.
5. Write Instructions in Chronological Order – Don’t make your instructions convoluted or confusing – keep it short and simple (KISS) and don’t include more than one thought per step.
6. Create Mental Images – Since your article can’t include photos or illustrations, use words to paint a picture instead. Clearly describe what your reader will experience to avoid confusion … and a loss of credibility for you!
7. Conclude with Cautions, Tips and Advice – This is a great place to add some goodwill and wrap things up on a positive note. It’s also a wonderful way to lead readers into your Resource Box.

Using this incredibly flexible and powerful template, you’ll be able to create article after article that will not only benefit your readers, but you as well with increased traffic, credibility and exposure.

5 Tips To Get Website Traffic With Or Without SEO Submission Software published at Start a Business Building Websites

Create a Budget before you Start
This is the hardest thing to do upfront, simply because most people believe they will start making money soon. Unfortunately, starting a home based business can hurt you financially if you have no idea what you’re doing and sometimes even if you do. However, if you say, “I am going to spend $20 a month,” then make sure you stick to it. Once you start making a profit, you can always add more to your budget.
SEO and your Website
When you build a website for your home based business, the idea is to build traffic and get sales conversions. Once you have chosen a niche, it’s important to place the right keywords on the site. Remember, the search engines are looking for relevant information when crawling your site. When it goes through the page, it will be looking from left to right. This means your SEO scheme should be set up the proper way.
One overlooked area you will want to make sure you place your keywords in is the title tag area. This can be found in your HTML coding. This will actually be the first thing the search engine crawls. You will find various different tips regarding your options here, but the golden rule is somewhere around 10-12 words. Anything more will be cut off when you see the result in the search engine.
SEO and Promotional Tools
There are several different ways to promote your website. Whether it’s article marketing, social networking, using forums, email marketing or anything else (the list is long), the secret to your success is proper SEO strategies. In these areas, you have to find the most searched keywords with the least amount of competition. In order to do this you have to utilize a keyword tool.
Earlier we talked about a budget, and that will go hand in hand with what type of keyword tool you use. If you don’t have it in your budget to use a high-quality tool like Micro Niche Finder, then Word Tracker will be your best option and vice versa. Whatever way you go, they can both work, but a free version will just take more of your time.
In the end, you can start making money online with ease if you have the right SEO strategy upfront. Each home based business is unique simply because there are different people running their own. Nevertheless, if you don’t use SEO the right way, your online adventure could be over before it even gets started. So let us help you get moving, and gain all the information you need to be successful online.

Article Marketing Is A Cheap Alternative To Increase Traffic To Your Website published at Start a Business Building Websites

Your readers should want more! They should comment on your article and offer you suggestions for more articles. If you’re getting this already, you know the meaning of substantive … Keep up the good work!

If you’re not having this dynamic conversation with your readers, then here are some tips that will help you achieve this:

• It’s Not OK to be Short and Sweet – Saying something is a cool idea without adding the WHY does nothing for the reader. This is not quality – this is easy writing. Your readers will see right through it. Good writing takes hard work and research.
• Relate Yourself to Your Work – Readers want to know how this has affected you and why it works. Add YOU to the topic by offering tips and further exploring why the tip works. People want MEAT. They want to know they can trust you. You’re the expert, so show them you are. Give them the MEAT.
• Make Connections with Your Audience – Do your research and ask them what they want. Then deliver this value in articles. This is worthwhile stuff. Readers want to know what they will find valuable TODAY. They don’t want to know what happened in the news last year. Think EVERGREEN!
• Think 400-600 Words as Your Quality Base – Don’t fill your article body with FLUFF just to reach this word count, but rather allow yourself enough room to explore the topic.
• You Won’t Know Until You Try – Perfection should always be your goal, but remember to submit and learn along the way. Trust me, you’ll get better with time.

Remember, writing high-quality, original content is not an overnight process – it’s hard work. Keep going, and you’ll get there in time.

Almost every article niche contains topics that can be quickly plugged into (3) clearly defined stages, or levels. Although these stages could be given any number of different labels, for the sake of simplicity let’s just call them:

1. Mild
2. Moderate
3. Severe

This article template capitalizes on the fact that your readers can mentally plug themselves into any one of these stages and in so doing can easily identify with content that is of interest or appropriate to them. In the case of painful subjects, like unhealthy debt, your article can guide the reader through the steps of escaping the negative impact of a particular stage. In the case of more enjoyable pursuits, like yoga, your article can give the reader a road map to the next stage of proficiency.

Here are (3) excellent examples of stages within a niche:

• Debt Relief
  • Mild – Low Debt: Self-management through Consolidation
  • Moderate – Medium Debt: Settlement Services and Grants
  • Severe – High Debt: Bankruptcy
• Yoga
  • Mild – Getting Started (Novice)
  • Moderate – Developing a Routine (Intermediate)
  • Severe – Maintaining Excellence via Advanced poses (Expert)
• Anti-Aging
  • Mild – Topical and Nutritional Products
  • Moderate – Simple Procedures
  • Severe – Cosmetic Surgery

How the “(3) Stages of X” article template works:

1. Find a topic in your niche that can be easily broken down into (3) levels of severity and give each stage a label.
2. Important: Only list (1) stage per article – but you can list multiple examples and methods within each article.
3. The first paragraph or two outlines the (3) stages and clearly defines the attributes of the particular stage explained in the article.
4. In the next paragraph, relate to the reader’s current stage and reassure them many others are currently at this particular stage.
5. Provide examples of how others have escaped this stage or graduated to a more desirable stage using your methods.
6. Give the reader clear directions to either escape the stage they’re currently in or to achieve a more desirable stage.
7. Once you have shown the reader the path(s) to their desired outcome, explain how they can maintain their new status.
8. Conclude with a quick summary of the (3) stages as you defined them, your method(s) for improvement and how the reader will benefit by following your advice.

By using this template you should be able to write at least (3) articles on each of the stages of “X” you discover within your niche. Find (5) topics that fit this template and your efforts will generate (15) new traffic-driving articles!

Better yet, it’s surprisingly easy. Once you find these topics and outline the stages, you’ll be amazed at how these articles will virtually write themselves
