2. One of the best ways to drive traffic to your website is by
writing articles. Getting your own articles
written, distributed and published on the Internet is one
of the very best Internet marketing techniques in
existence.
3. Once you have become an author of an article, you
become an instant authority. When visitors locate and
read your article they could obtain some useful
information from it. They would most probably appreciate
you. When appreciation turns into trust, it is very likely
that would click the link in your article resource box to
visit your website to get more information.
4. Chances of them signing up with you in one of your
recommended business opportunities or buy one of your
recommended products would be greatly enhanced.
5. The question is how to write the relevant articles which
might demand some of your effort and time?
6. If you are good in writing and enjoy doing it, you might
decide to write your own articles. Otherwise you could
join an article cooperative to get access to private label
articles OR hire someone to write articles for you.

8. 1) Do Your Own Research and Write Your Own Articles.
9. The main advantage of writing your own articles is that it's
"free" and it would give you a sense of pride in
accomplishment. You might enjoy writing articles to share
your experience in Internet online business. The downside
is that it'd take up some of your time to conduct some
research work.
10. 2) Join An Article Cooperative to Get Pre-written Articles.
13. If you are not comfortable writing your own articles or if
you find it too much a hassle especially when you're new
to this business or if you do not fancy pre-written articles
due to lack of originality, you could use an article ghost
writing service such as Just Articles to put your own ideas
into writing.
14. For a relatively small fee you can get your articles written
very quickly.
15. For article marketing on the Internet, articles written with
between 400-700 words would suffice. It goes without
saying that your articles must be relevant to your Internet
business. Hence topic of your articles should be related to:
"working at home", "home based business", "Internet
marketing", "making money online", "promoting a
website", etc.
16. The next question is how can you ensure that your articles
will reach the maximum amount of potential web visitors?
19. The best place to submit your articles are Article
Directories. Many publishers of websites, blogs, and ezines
visit the sites of these Directories. Hence your articles will
be quickly exposed to people who have a large amount of
traffic.
21. The next step is to submit your articles to article lists such
as newsletters on Yahoo and Topica. Articles from such
sources are normally better received by publishers. Hence
when a submission is done by you via an article
list, publishers have more confidence in your articles and
would very likely use them.
23. Many Websites focus on providing valuable information
and educational materials to their readers. You could
submit your articles to these sites if your articles are
relevant to what they need. It is best that you only contact
sites where the readers would have an interest in the topic
of your article.
25. Once your articles have been submitted to directories and
article lists as mentioned earlier, you could start
contacting individual publishers such as the publishers of
ezines that are related to your topic. Choose those who
accept articles and write to them and convince them that
your articles would be of value for their purpose.
26. 5) Give The Articles to Your New Affiliate members
27. To help your affiliates especially the newly "recruited"
ones, you could give them your articles as a way to help
promote your site. They could either publish them as they
are or they could substitute your link with theirs in the
resource box of the article. They would be impressed by
such generous gesture from you.
28. In conclusion, submitting your articles and getting them
re-published on others' websites and newsletters/ezines is
one of the most powerful Internet marketing strategies.
Your articles will then start working as a free
advertisement for you forever. And you do not have to pay
even a dime for such advertising space. You will continue
to enjoy free traffic driven to your website for a long, long
time!
