| How To Drive Traffic To Your Website |
 |
|
Everyone wants more people to visit their website.
My clients are always asking me how to accomplish
this. Well, I can answer that question in just one
word -- ARTICLES!
More and more people are using articles to generate
traffic directly to their website and it works great!
The secret is to provide something interesting and
closely related to your website. For example, if you
are selling insurance, you could write an article
explaining the difference between term life and whole
life insurance and the benefits of each.
Make sure your article is well-written, grammatical
correct and free of spelling errors before you sumbit
it. You should provide links in your article pointing to
your website, and most importantly, there should be
a resource box at the end of the article. A resource
box tells people a little bit about you; directs them to
your website; and gives others permission to reprint
your article as long they include the resource box.
Okay, now you have a well written article; what's
next, where do you submit the article? There are
many places to submit articles, just Google "free
articles" and you will get millions of links.
Here are just a few of the ones that I use:
Another great place to submit articles is right here in
my e-newsletters! I send out several newletters each
month to over 2300 subscribers (and that number is
growing each month). Your own articles also make
great fillers for your newsletters when you need to fill
that white space. The best way to use articles in an
e-newsletter is to just have the first paragraph or
two as a teaser then include a link to your website
where readers can get the full content of the article.
What are you waiting for, start writing your articles
and watch your website traffic begin to increase!
You may copy this article and place it on your own
website, as long as you do not change it and include
the live links. This resource box must also be
included.

| Does My Business Need a Blog? |
|
|
You may be wondering, just what is a blog anyway?
The name blog is short for weblog. There are many
different types of blogs. In fact there are millions of
blogs on the Internet and research shows that a new
blog is started every 7.8 seconds.
A blog is much easier to create than a website,
anyone can do it. Just go to www.blogger.com and set up a FREE account. Within a few minutes
you will be part of the blogosphere!
Blogs offer huge marketing potential. You can use
your blog as a discussion forum for customers of your
products or services. Only you and the people you
give posting rights to may create articles on your
blog, but anyone can leave comments. (You can
even review comments before they are posted and
select which ones to post.)
Blogs are typically updated on a daily or weekly basis
and are great for advertising special offers or
upcoming events. Before long you will have a group
of loyal readers who check your blog frequently for
updates.
Once you have established your blog and have
several posts then you will want to join a blogging
community to help promote your blog. I use Blog
Explosion. Click on the link below to check out all
they have to offer. It's FREE to join, and a great way
to increase your blog traffic.

Here is a FREE GIFT
for
you, just because you are taking the time to read my
newsletter.
Promoting Your Website
Don't forget to promote your website every chance
you get. Make sure your business cards and all
printed material include your website address. Leave
business cards everywhere you go. I leave a business
card on the table at restaurants, on bulletin boards in
grocery stores, on the magazine table in the doctor's
office, etc.
Don't forget about good old fashioned "word of
mouth" advertising, this is still a great way to
promote your website. You can say something as
simple as, "By the way, have you checked out my
new website?" Then hand the person a business card
and ask them to visit your site and let you know
what they think about it.
If you are anything like me, you probably send and
receive hundreds of emails per day! Set your
outgoing email to include a signature line with your
website address, this is free advertising at its best!
