Start a Business from Home: Generating Traffic from Articles
Posted by: Jerry in - Traffic Building: The Number One Traffic Resource, How To, Search Engine Marketing, Traffic GenerationArticle marketing is an easy, high-return way to generate traffic as you start a business from home.
I ought to know: The 800 or so articles I have written and syndicated over the last 5 years have not only generated millions of visitors to my web sites, they have also gotten me over 100,000 mentions on Google.
Not too bad for a farm boy from Kentucky.
So, how do you go about getting that kind of traffic for your site? Here are the steps:
1. Generate a list of keywords you want to target.
Your keyword list will give you a great start in knowing what articles you want to write.
2. Generate a list of interests in your target market.
If your target market is people interested in digital photography, you would want to make a list of information they would find appealing: How to choose a digital camera, Fixing Bad Shots, etc. Info they would be interested in.
3. Using your list of keywords and market interests, create a book outline.
For many of you this might seem premature to some out there. Here’s why you want to make this outline: You are going to write 50-100 articles over the next year. Why not look ahead and make them into a completed book rather than just a list of barely related articles?
4. Begin writing an article or two each week to fill in the outline.
Choose one of your points or subpoints each week and write your article on that theme.
5. Syndicate the articles with article banks and article distribution services.
