Article marketing is biggest load of Bull^%&#

As you know, that I am huge proponent of article marketing.
And whenever I recommend it, people often email me and tell me
how it doesn’t work.

And to their surprise I often agree with them.

Why? Because I know with so many writers out there, the artilce
directories have become overloaded.

Even the so called mighty ezinearticles.com doesn’t give you
good results. Let’s just not talk about rest of them.

Of course a lot of this has to do with what you write and
how you write.

And the worse thing about this is “anyone can write an
article”. The momemnt such crowd enters into arena, it becomes
hard to breathe and produce results.

So the only thing you can do is “work smarter than them”. And
that’s good for you. Because you let others fight for low
hanging fruits. You have an option to go beyond.

And this is where I can help you.

In next 7 days eclass, I am going to take from pure basics of
writing an article to make you understand what makes your
articles stick.

For next 7 days, you can ask me any questions that’ll help you
with article writing/marketing.

Plus I’ll give you an extra 7 days to ask me any questions about
blogging and product creation.

This eclass is only open for 25 applicants. Act Quickly to
register your seat.

100 Article Challenge

100 article challenge.

Right Now it’s 4 PM sunday and a thought came to my mind. Something that can help you build your website, your products and web traffic. On Nov 25,2009 I clocked my article writing speed at 300 words at 7 minutes 55 seconds. I know it’s surprisingly high speed and now you know it can be done.

I am calling this 100 Article Challenge.

The challenge is very simple. You are going to write 100 articles for your website (niche). It doesn’t matter in how many days you can do it. It’d great if you finish is as soon as possible.

With 100 articles written, you have content to promote for your website for next 3 months and 10 days. You can write 10 articles a day and finish this challenge in 10 days. You don’t have to worry about content and what to promote for next 3 months.

You can submit 1 article per day for 100 days (imagine how much it’ll help boost your traffic)

You can put together a few articles and create a PDF ebook to give away to your subscribers and build a list

You can expand few concepts taken from articles and create small reports (sellable at $10 – $30)

There are so many ways you can use these 100 articles.

You have 30 days to finish this challenge.

Post your results and effort on your blogs

UPDATE : Right now it’s 7 pm, and I decided to write few articles after making this challenge. I didn’t cared about how many words I am going to write and ended up 5 articles with varying length. I’ll start posting these articles (and promoting by morning).

Are you going to pull up your sleeves and take this challenge?

My 3 Simple tips to get FREE traffic

Traffic building is sore spot for many marketers. People are spending thousands of dollars just to learn how they can increase web site traffic and profit from it.

Often I am surprised at the stuff (how to get traffic) people are buying these days. Internet marketers sure have made it complicated. So what do people like You and me have to do?

I am going to share 3 of my simplest strategies which you can work right now as you finish this article. There’s no complicated Link building plans to remember, No complicated farming techniques, pure simplicity.

REMEMBER : Traffic is all about building momentum and continuing it. The more you work on building traffic, better your results will be.

So Here we go.

1. Article Writing – I am surprised how many people miss the fact that this thing works. If you notice at the top article directories (like www.ezinearticles.com), people start off with gusto but later on they lose the fizzle.

Article writing is all about content and lots of content. You should at least submit articles for first 4–6 months everyday. Only then you’ll be able to see some good results.

If you think this will take time, you are half right. I often see the difference in my traffic in 7 days. Chances are you’ll see same are very high. Provided you are working on it everyday.

Do not burn yourself trying to submit many articles per day. 1 article per day is good enough to generate a momentum.

2. Blog comments – I highly recommend you to create your own blog and start posting comments on other bloggers. Do not spam. You’ll be surprised how many people will come to your website/blog from these comments. I still get visitors from comments I left few years ago. That’s how good it is.

Again, providing and adding to the discussion of the blog will help you. If you spam, you’ll be pretty much blacklisted in no time. Often bloggers do not have patience with comment spammers.

Get into habit of daily leaving comments on high traffic blogs.

3. Answers/Groups/Forums – These are few places where people go to get answers to their problems. You should take your time out and answer few questions a day. It’ll take some time but you’ll start getting results from this in 8–10 days. BTW, DO NOT SPAM.

Again do not forget about building momentum and keeping it.

From my calculation and experience, it’d not take more than 1 hr per day to follow the above 3 tips and start getting traffic in 7 days. You’ll probably double your traffic in 30 days.

If you noticed, I haven’t touched web 2.0 at all. Why? because even with all the hype it’s not necessary to follow the crowd to get traffic.

Like I said, simplicity will win over complication in 95% of scenarios.
