Distributing Articles To Entice Targeted Traffic Or Draw Contact Lists!
Your previous articles you've written for your blogs could be building traffic or building e-mail lists for you much faster if you start to submit articles to article sites regularly.
Posting your best articles to the best online article sites exposes your new articles to a huge potential audience, both at the article directories and on other people's sites if they use your interesting articles as posts. Popular articles can be one of the biggest sources of targeted traffic, thus helping you build opt-in lists and build targeted traffic.
And really, this article marketing strategy only makes sense. Many people begin by looking for information, and Internet articles are one of the first source of new information. Every day thousands of new articles are added online, through article directories, blogs, Web 2.0 sites and the like.
So before adding those new articles to your blog, go to the top few directories and post your articles, being careful to be sure your Author's Resource Box links back to your blog and squeeze page so that you're building targeted traffic that's aimed at building your opt-in list and your blog readership at the same time.
Ensure your new articles are full of high-value content - attempting to create an article just for it's SEO value is a common mistake, since getting prospects to your online articles is only half the process. The intent is to get them swept up in your articles' message, establish yourself as an expert on the topic, and get them to take action and click through to your opt-in form or your blog. That demands both powerful information in your article AND solid, related material on the landing page.
One of the reasons that this system builds opt-in lists so well is that the prospect wants facts on a topic, reads your article and then sees your link to additional info. Build your traffic generation from your articles by giving a free report, audio or video on a related topic to prospects who sign up. This way the interested party gets what they want, while you're building traffic and building opt-in lists.
