7 Secrets To Marketing On The Internet For Fast Profits
By Saleem Rana
When marketing on the internet, your aim should be traffic, traffic, and more traffic. Traffic is what can make or break your website business. If you have a constant stream of targeted traffic, your website will flourish, provided, of course, you also have a reasonably well-designed website offering products or ads that appeal to your audience.
However, even the best product and the most dynamic website design with top quality content will not earn you a dime if you can only attract a trickle of visitors.
Secret 1: Use articles, posting them to a high-quality article submission service. While you can, of course, skip the cost of an article submission service and simply post your articles yourself to the top 10 article directories, you will spend a lot of time and energy restructuring your article to meet the submission criteria of each service. It is worth the cost of getting an article writing service which can help you get targeted placements on the most popular websites and ezines. You do not want any old submission service which will give you second or third tier websites. You need targeted traffic, and you get this from being selective as to where your articles get submitted.
Another advantage of working with an article submission service is that they will have a relationship with the article directories, and while they cannot guarantee placement for you, they know what the editors are looking for and can offer expert advice on what you need to do to get your articles published.
Secret 2. As you write articles, you will boost your website ranking in search engine directories by generating backlinks to your website. You will get backlinks because the article directories will feature your website link on their website and because publishers will pick up your articles to place on their website. The more websites that have links to your articles, the more Google and the other search engines will love you. When you have your link on high-trafficked websites, you will boost your Google page rankings and your Alexa traffic rankings. This off-page search engine optimization will create organic traffic for you.
Secret 3. Besides traffic from a good position in the search engine directories, you will also get traffic from people who see your article and link in the article directories and on independent publishers websites. All this exposure will help your branding. You will get expert status for your niche. Potential customers will see you as an authority and they will buy from you. In other words, you will have pre-sold them long before they arrive at your website itself.
Secret 4. Educate your prospects. Make your articles juicy. Write high-quality, informative, motivating articles. However, you should avoid trying to sell from your article itself. You get to benefit from your article by making a bold promise in your author’’s box; perhaps, even offering a free report in written, audio, or visual format once someone clicks on your link.
Secret 5. Write articles regularly. Now that the submission service has saved you hours of time, you can use that time to research and write articles. How regularly you write is an individual decision, but you should create a consistent stream of articles going out. Sporadic submission will still work for you, but regular submission will get you even better results.
Secret 6. Search engine optimize your articles. Research the best keywords for your article, then strategically place them in the right places in your article. Avoid putting in too many of the same keyword, and lean towards synonyms of your main keyword. Your keywords should read naturally to human readers. They should not look repetitious and make your article look as if it were written by an article spinning software.
Work and rework your headlines so that they attract readers to click on your articles. A good header is essential because only if the header is captivating enough for your target audience will they read your articles. Remember, your articles will be competing against many others in article directories.
Besides your headlines, the next most important part of your article is your biography box at the end of the piece. Offer the reader something free, like a free pdf report, audio, or video for coming to your website. Make your offer sound compelling. Also, if you have done something extraordinary in your niche, briefly mention it in your biography, provided, of course, that it is relevant to your target audience and your website.
Secret 7. Set up one traffic generation plan at a time. After you have found out how to make articles work for you, then explore other traffic strategies, testing and becoming successful with each one before moving on. You can, for example, start getting traffic by posting on forums, by learning social book marking, and by mastering pay per click advertising.
Use these 7 secrets to take your marketing on the internet to the next level.
