How 7 Articles
Made Me $4,800...
by: Anik Singal
It's a strategy that the top
marketers have been using for years
and years now - they even tell us to
do it, but most of us are just too
lazy! Well, I crawled out of bed and
decided to test the strategy and was
absolutely blown away!
Over the course of two months, I
wrote a total of 7 articles that I
published in a few places (I'll show
you where in a minute). Then, I got
sick as a dog and was in and out of
the hospital.
Guess what? During the time I was
sick and not working, my articles
went to work for me - it was
amazing. In just a few weeks I sold
about 20 memberships to
AffiliateClassroom.com, and am
still selling till this very moment.
Over the course of a year those
20 memberships are going to earn me
about $4,800 in profits. Can you
believe that? Here is exactly what I
did...
I wrote an article of around
500-700 words on any topic related
to internet marketing ranging from
"How to use solo ads" to "How to get
approved for Google Adsense." Now,
you're asking, well how do I write
articles?
How to Write Killer Articles
- Headline - The most
important to get someone to even
read the article.
- Introduction - To hook the
reader
- Body
- Closing
- Resource Box - The second
most important to generate
traffic
Headline
Focus the most on the headline,
introduction and the resource box.
Your headline needs to be catchy and
needs to make a promise - the person
should know exactly what they will
get after reading your article.
Introduction
Once they're reading your article
- you need to hook them to read the
whole thing, that's the only way
they will read your resource box.
Resource Box
This is where you tell them
something about yourself and then
make an offer to get them excited
enough to click a link and visit
your website. For the best response,
send them to a page where you can
offer a fr-ee course.
Why Should You Use Articles
I'm going to cut through the
chase and get to the point, you use
articles for various reasons - they
do more for you than you can imagine
- here are just a few:
- TRAFFIC
- SALES
- Brand yourself
- Brand your website
- Fre-e incoming links to your
site
- Become known as an expert...
Bottom line, NOTHING bad can ever
come of writing articles - only
good. That basically means that you
have no excuse to not write articles
to promote yourself.
Where To Post Your Articles
There are many places that you
can start promoting your articles,
here are a few:
- Submit them to ezine
publishers
- Submit them to article
directories
- Submit them to websites
Now, all of this can be very
time-consuming unless you develop a
system to help you. I use 3
different automated systems to help
me: A service called
SubmitYourArticle.com, a
software called Ezine Announcer and
I also submit directly to ezines who
accept articles.
If you want to learn exactly
where to get these resources and how
I use them, please visit
http://www.AffiliateClassroom.com
- we did an entire case study on
this topic in February, 2005.
The bottom line is that you want
your article to get out as much as
possible. However, once it's out,
you never need to worry about it
again! It will continue to promote
for you for years to come without
you ever having to manage it.
Final Strategy You Should Use
I really recommend directing your
resource box traffic directly to an
opt-in page. Start building your
list with this strategy and you can
profit for a long time to come.
Think of the infinite profit
potential if you build a list!
Final Note
Do not expect this strategy to
pay off in a day, a week or even a
month. If you really want to use
this strategy then be ready to be at
it for months. Put in some work now
and you will profit from it for
years to come.
