Internet Marketing with Mike Gillis

A very important key to writing articles that convert readers back to your site or whatever your linking to in your resource box is making it flow.

I learned this strategy close to a year ago and it makes a huge difference in the amount of people who read your article and then click on the link in your resource box.

Have you ever noticed when reading an article that once it starts talking about the author of the article, it means the article is done! This is a huge mistake and a very common mistake for a lot of people that write articles.

Since most people will end up clicking the back button, go somewhere else or occasionally they will click on your link.

The strategy that I want you to know about is – making your article flows into your resource box, simply by changing your resource box so that it flows into your resource box instead of putting “stop” words like the authors name, about the author or company, etc. (Continue reading)

One of the most common and successful way to get long term traffic is from writing and submitting articles. Traffic from articles can some times be very quick depending on how targeted your article is and how much competition your up against will determine how quickly you get ranked.

I recently had a question about how to promote a site and branding, so my first answer is start to write a few articles and submitting them. Not only will you be able to start putting links back to your site and generating traffic but your articles won’t disappear giving you the opportunity to benefit from them over and over again (long term traffic)

I created a short video below on how to submit articles using a free software that I highly recommend.

When you hear that article marketing isn’t free you have to stop and think for a minute, lots of internet marketing experts and gurus say that article marketing in one of the best free methods of getting targeted traffic to your websites, blogs or whatever you are promoting. And now someone is telling you it’s not free!

What’s going on here?

If you write your own articles, then your “spending” your time instead of money plus you need to spend more time or money to submit your articles, bookmark your articles and a bunch of other stuff you can have done with your articles in order to get the maximum effect from your articles.

If your prefer to outsource your article marketing and the promotion of your articles then you are in turn paying someone money to spend their time writing articles for you.

So now you may be thinking, is their any method of getting traffic that’s completely free?

The answer is a big no !! And guess what… nothing you do from start to finish in your business will ever be completely free. Just think, even your learning new stuff, testing and trying out new things, it all requires your time and your time is always worth money. I don’t care what you do, who your are or whatever else, everybody is worth money!

Now think about it, what is your time worth? Is what you do in your business and for your business worth your time to do or would you rather find someone else to do it. If you outsource the steps in your business that you don’t like to, don’t know how to do or aren’t good at you’ll start to see that you have more time, save more money and be much happier.

Now you may be thinking of how did I get myself from free article marketing to outsourcing article marketing and other marketing strategies that you’ll face in the success of your online business. Well one way or another you will have to spend money for time, whether it’s your time or someone else’s.

So if your starting to think you would rather start outsourcing some of these tasks such as article marketing, your can get a free copy of The Outsource Compendium to learn more about outsourcing.

I hope this helps everyone get a better perpectitive on why free article marketing is a myth.
