1 Powerful Traffic Method You Should Be Using to Build Your Business

What ever type of business model you are using there is always one important ingredient that you must have, and that is TRAFFIC.

Traffic is always the lifeblood of your business, because even if you had terrible conversions and a badly designed website as long as you still had traffic then you would at least still make money.

Over the last 4 years I have tried many different traffic methods both free traffic and paid traffic. Some were a success and some were a complete failure. I will reveal to you below one of my most powerful and effective traffic methods that I have been using which has delivered great results

Number 1 Free Traffic Source:

Ezine Articles

To some this may be a bit of a shock because submitting articles can be quite time consuming but believe me, it will definitely pay off in time. You see.. the way I look at my online business is I always like to make the most of my time and only use the most effective, profitable and time efficient methods which return the best results in order to build my business. When building traffic, using articles is a very good idea because you will be putting the work in only once, but you will be seeing the results of your efforts for a very long time to come afterwards.

There are however some things you must consider before writing a tonne of articles.

You MUST be sending the traffic from your articles to a squeeze page.

If you are not sending the traffic from your articles to some form of squeeze page then in my opinion it is a complete waste of time using articles to drive traffic  because you are NOT using your time efficiently to build your business. You need to make sure that all of your traffic that you drive from your articles is being sent to a landing/squeeze page so that you can build your email list (This is vital)

I know some people use articles to make one off sales for affiliate products etc. This is all well and good but these are only one off payments and your not building yourself a real business.

I use ezine articles as an example because I always get plenty of traffic when i submit my articles with them. You also need to remember that you cant just submit a few articles and hope to generate lots of traffic. Sure… you could get lucky and one of your articles could start to rank high and starts to get lots of views but you should not just rely on a small number of articles to send you traffic. You need to be submitting a lot of articles. The more you submit the more traffic you will get to your squeeze page.

Remember though, the traffic is permanant traffic and it is a great way to guarantee you a constant steady stream of traffic to your squeeze page.

A quick tip: You will not only be getting traffic from people reading your articles but also people looking at your author profile and as long as you have links in there you can receive a fair bit of traffic that way too. If you contine to submit lots of articles and you manage to get in the top 10 authors for your niche then this will also send you more traffic.

If you are really serious about using ezine articles as a steady traffic stream then start pumping out articles every day. You can either write them yourself or get them outsourced. Which ever the case try to aim at submitting over 100 articles for your particular niche topic (obviously the more the better) but 100 will be sending you some good steady traffic each day.

Submitting 3 articles per day for only 1 month will be 90 articles. It soon mounts up if you submit them every day!

In summary of using Ezine Articles:

• You get to build back links from every article

• The traffic is good quality

• It is all free traffic

• It is all permanant traffic

• You can also receive some good traffic from your author profile page

• Your articles can get picked up and distributed around the internet building you more back links and also sending you more traffic to your squeeze page

BONUS TIPS:

These are some tips which will help you to get more views to your articles (These do really work well, i use these myself)

Bonus Tip 1

Use “POWER WORDS” in your article Titles. After all this is the only information people can read to make them want to read your entire article

Here is a list of  some “POWER WORDS” Which can be used for article titles, email subject lines or on sales pages. These “Power Words” will all help with open rates and user engagment…enjoy!

Power, Fast, Whopping, Ultimate, Blasting, Crazy, Burning, Overdrive, Warp Speed, Profits, Secrets, Closely Guarded, Proven, Free, Discover, Blueprint, Insane, Explosive, Exploit, De-Bunked, Forced, Sky Rocket, Extreme, Jaw Dropping, Mouth Watering, Weired, Boosts, Super, Extra, Jumpstart, Killer, Surprising, Little known, Melting, Blazing, Unleash, Avalanche, Tsunami, Hot, Power packed, Spark, Mind blowing, Mesmerising, Incredible, High powered, Electrifying, Awesome, Blockbuster, Rocket-Launch, Turbo boost, Explode, Ignite

Bonus Tip 2

Use Numbers in Your article Titles. Any numbers work great and much better than just plain old boring text

For example

• 3 secret ways

• 2 killer tips

• 5 blazing hot

• 7 weired

I think you get my point

Bonus Tip 3

Here is an example of an article title that is bad and then an improved title using power words

Boring Title – “how to lose weight, build muscle and bun fat”

Exciting Title – “3 Killer Excercises for Blasting Fat, Building Muscle and Transforming Your Body into a Fat Burning Furnace”

Now which one looks more interesting??

I hope you can see the power of using compelling titles which attract attention

I hope you can now see the power of using ezine articles but using them effectively rather than wasting your traffic

PPS: Look out for more posts over the coming days and weeks where i will reveal to you the rest of my closely guarded and effective traffic methods
