subject: Internet Marketing Solution For The Frugal, I Mean The Fiscally Responsible [print this page] So you've been at this internet marketing for six months or so and you still haven't made what you thought you might have you? You started out full of energy and high expectations and you were willing to do what you had to do to make it work. You probably spent some money, maybe a lot of money looking for that internet marketing solution that would boost the business and start raking in sales.
So just how many different "blueprints" to success and amazing traffic tools did you buy? How big a bath did you take in the Pay Per Click arena? Other than the money you spent on domain names, hosting and maybe a Wordpress plugin, have any of your investments in shiny objects returned at least the cost of the shiny object? Have you finally reached the point in your search for an internet marketing solution that if it costs money you're not interested?
Well you can take some solace in knowing that yours it not a unique experience. Thousands have gone through the same thing. Some have quit entirely over this dilemma. Others have regrouped and started over again. If you fall into that second group be sure to read on. There is help.
You probably know about article marketing. Maybe you even gave it a try but became frustrated because your articles were rejected, or you didn't get any traffic or you simply don't like writing. Well I'm here to tell you that if you pay as much attention to this process as you did to the "blueprints" you'll end up with a steady flow of targeted traffic.
It's not sexy. It's not fast. It won't drive "crazy insane" amounts of clicks but it will drive targeted visitors for years.
The reason it doesn't work for a lot of people is they simply don't take the time to understand how it works or apply the basics of good marketing and they quit. Article marketing provides free traffic. Better than that it provides free targeted traffic. And as a bonus, it generates backlinks that actually have some Google juice. Just follow these simple guidelines to get your free traffic.
Read and understand the Terms and Conditions
You agree to abide by them, shouldn't you at least know what they are? Violating the terms is the number one reason for article rejections and suspension of membership.
Articles Are Not Sales Pages
You can't push your product in the article. What you need to do is write intelligent, valuable information (like in this article) that the reader can use. You're not directly selling your product. Don't use spinners and don't use PLR articles because they are mostly junk. Actually think about your article. Does it make sense to you? Would you read it?
Resource Boxes Are Sales Pages
Okay maybe not a page but a blurb. Use this space wisely. This is where you get a chance to get a click to your site. Don't be long winded. Try this technique. Ask a question and then tell them where to go to get an answer. For example:
Do you want to learn more about a free internet marketing solution that will bring you traffic for nada? Of course you do. Get the whole story right now at URL
The bold section is the keyword phrase that you want to make an anchor text. Watch your CTR go way up.
Like the sample resource box says, there is a whole lot more to this internet marketing solution called article marketing and you owe it to yourself to give it an honest shot. Did I mention it's free and fits perfectly within your zero budget for promotion?
