Simple Online Startup

Article marketing is a great source for Entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Not only is it a great way to brand yourself and practice magnetic marketing but if done right, it is a great way to drive free targeted web traffic to your site.

Here are some simple tips to get the most out of your article marketing strategy.

Instead of just writing articles and sending traffic to your capture page, product or service, work backwards from your blog to your article marketing.

Figure out what you want to write about on your blog and do your keyword research for the headline and body. Write your article and share it via social media, social bookmarking and any free or paid tribes/content sharing networks you belong to.

Now create your backlinks. Write 5 (or more) articles on the same subject and submit them to as many article directories as you can including the anchor text link that you want to point back to your blog.

Here are some of the top directories.

www.ezinearticles.com

www.articlesbase.com

www.amazines.com

At this point you have a piece of content on your blog with related content on sites that Google loves pointing back to your site. This strategy, if done consistently, should enable you to get the most out of article marketing and gain lots of free traffic.

Here are some ways you can receive traffic from article marketing.

• From the article directories
• From your articles ranking in search engines
• From your site ranking in search engines
• From other web publishers putting the articles on their sites (which actually creates even more backlinks to your site)

Remember… Consistency is king. do this every day and you should have some nice traffic and leads for your business.

How to win the twitter marketing game with the right targeting.

 

 

 

One of the coolest products I've seen, affiliate bonus domination, teaches you how to create your own bonus around affiliate products and product launches.

You can do this with clickbank products, MLM or direct sales companies, your own products and services or anything else that people are looking for.

In the next month, there will be a new product of some sort and with this information I am sharing here, you can now dominate the launch, get on the leader board and win some cool prizes.  If you put the information to use and you work hard at it…

Another cool thing about this training is you can use it to rank in the search engines for products and services you may already be promoting.  Most people in the industry do not know how to do this.

So why does this work?

Chances are when a good product or service comes out, there are lots of people promoting it. So if you get a couple of emails promoting the affiliate link and then you see someone you already like giving away a huge bonus if you buy from them, chances are you're going to buy it from them.

This training can put you in the drivers seat so you can be offering the cool bonus to your list, to your blog readers and to your social media friends.

This webinar will put you on the fast track.

Here's a tip.  Don't promote every offer under the sun.  It will annoy the industry as a whole and will annoy the heck out of your list.

Only promote things you have used yourself or at the very least, things that come from the highest of trusted authority's.

To the top!

Have you ever wondered if there was an easy way to get a book published, become an author and get your message or story out to the entire world?

Well now there's a way according to Digital Marketer.

This process has been made very easy when using Amazon's own Kindle Direct Publishing model allowing anyone with good content to upload their books or newsletters to the Kindle store.

Kindle publishing can span across tablets, mobile devices and personal computers.

I'm an affiliate for Matt Lloyd's Online Home Business Empire System.

Matt is on the cutting edge of the industry when it comes to product sales, traffic, lead generation and conversions.  Everything you need to know about running a successful business online.

He is doing a training tonight on creating your first info product.  Why would you want your own product?

 

Here are the 7 reasons…

 

1.)  100% Scalable.  

 

I've gone from selling less than 1k of my info products / month,  to selling over 120k of my info products last month… in less than a year.

Think about that.  I now make 120 times what I was making one year ago.

Do you think I'm working 120 times harder??  Absolutely not.  

I'm not going to lie to you- I do work harder these days.

But, it's only by a little bit- and I don't mind it nearly as much, since I'm making a lot more.

The only way this kind of growth is possible, is if you have a scalable business model.

Trading your time for dollars, is NOT scalable.  You will never build wealth that way.  

But when you have your own info-products, now you can scale.

 

2.)  Creating info-products is quick and easy.

 

Now, some people might disagree with me on that… maybe even you.  But, trust me.  Once you know the process, and you've done it once, you'll wonder why you always made such a big deal about it.

I'll show you how this Wednesday, 9 pm, in our workshop.

I've cranked out 4 info-products in less than 5 weeks- all of them being over 8 hours of video content, ebooks, and selling for several hundred to several thousand, each.

There was work involved.  But now, I can sell them for years and years to come…

 

3.)  If you currently sell an expensive service / business opportunity, your info-product becomes a pre-selling tool.

 

How do you think I get paid up to 497 / hour to get on the phone with someone for an hour?

It's because they have invested in one of my info-products, which positions me as the 'go-to' guy for internet marketing related stuff.

In my product, the person gets to know me.  They get to hear my voice.  Hear stories from my life.  They see that I obviously know what I'm doing.

In other words, your info-product builds the one thing you need to make sales: trust.  

And they help to establish your credibility and position you as the expert.

 

4.)  Your info-product pre-screens all your leads for you.

 

On any given day, I'll average over 450 leads per day – some days, many more.  Right now, my list is approaching the 50,000 mark.

Now, out of that list of names, the vast majority are never going to buy anything from me.  In fact, the vast majority don't even read my emails!

So, if I were to go through every one of those leads, and try to sell to them 1-on-1, it would take YEARS… and would not be profitable.

But, when you have your own info product- it allows you to find the few people out of a hundred on your list, who are worth spending time with.

Why?  Because they're buyers.  And, a buyer lead is worth at least 10 times what your typical lead is worth.  They are proven to be responsive… not just by their words, but by their actions.

 

5.)  Price has nothing to do with the cost to make or fulfill the product.

 

Go into a video store.  And you'll be hard pressed to find a DVD selling for 1000 dollars.  Even if the movie cost 200 million to make…  Why?

Because, people have in their minds a pre-conceived notion of what a DVD should cost.  But with your info-products, it's different.

I've seen people sell ebooks for over 5k.  Yes… an ebook, which costs absolutely nothing to send someone, and nothing to create (apart from the actual content)… selling for over 5k!

How is this possible?

It's because of the upside potential of that information, to the customer.  If you show me how to increase my average transaction size by 5% in your info-product… and I'm selling $20,000 items, and 10 of them a month, I'll happily pay you big money for that info.  

I won't care too much what format it's in- whether it's an audio interview, ebook, video program… all I want is the information. 

We'll spend a bit of time talking about pricing on this Wednesdays product-creation workshop

 

6.)  Lifestyle.  Right now, I have 1 person full time, and another people part time, running my business.

 

And, all of them live in different countries to mine.  I've never met any of them in person.

This small team I've assembled helps me run a 120k / month business.  See, I'm not exactly what you would call a 'social' kind of guy… 

I dont' want to show up to an office and have to babysit 20 grown adults.  I just don't want those headaches.

So, that's part of the reason I got into the info-marketing business.  I could design my business around MY lifestyle, on my terms.

There are few business models you can do that with.

 

7.)  You have full control of the marketing, and the process.  No one is ever going to tell you how you can and can't market.

 

If you're in network marketing, a franchise, or one of these 'lead systems,' you have to follow all their rules.

If you break them… well, just see what happens.  You can have your entire business taken from you in an instant.  

And it happens all the time.  Yes… even in the company who have chosen to parnter with.

If you want security for you and your family… then having your info-product business is the only way to go.

These are just a few of the reasons you need your own info-product, and you need it asap.

Don't know the first thing about creating your info-product?  

Then come along this Wednesday, and let me show you Step-by-Step how to do it:
