Of all the various ways to get targeted traffic to websites, unique content creation for your sites & blogs and your article marketing efforts always trumps all other free traffic generation strategies. Having fresh, helpful & unique content on your sites and blogs builds a regular readership, and Article Marketing has worked since the start of the World Wide Web and will continue for the foreseeable future.

Why is that? Because most people online are there looking for information, looking for answers to questions they have, or looking to learn more about some topic that appeals to them. And what better way to find that information than through well-written articles on those particular topics?

So it naturally follows that Internet marketers, affiliate marketers and those promoting offline businesses online would use article marketing for attracting targeted prospects to their sites and to generally raise traffic levels to their sites. And busy marketers will outsource the writing to those with the time and expertise to craft search engine optimized, keyword-laden articles.

But that can take a lot of time, too – not so much in finding writers, since there are plenty of qualified writers online, but because the marketer needs to be able to come up with topics for each article. Brainstorming sessions for article marketing topics can take a lot of time, and/or come up with few, if any, new ideas.

Article Content Creation – Tips For Outsourcers

Here are three tips to help you organize your article marketing plan and generate sufficient article ideas to keep your writers busy while saving you time…

1) Start by figuring out how many articles you need for the next few months. Do you have blogs and websites you want new content for? Do you need fresh articles for any membership sites you own? Are you planning to sell any articles as PLR? And what about articles to submit to article directories, turn into podcasts or videos, etc? Make a list of all the places you want to use articles and then figure out how many articles you’ll need each month for each resource. This will give you the total number of articles you’ll need, and an idea of what niche each group needs to cover.

2) Now it’s time to group those quotas by topic, then make a list of titles or title ideas for each topic. Put each topic at the top of a page, and use point-form to list every sub-topic you can think of to go with it. As you work your way through the topics other ideas will pop into your head, so just click over to the appropriate page and list the new idea under the right topic. Before long you’ll have a good list under each topic – then read them over again, think a bit about each title and what related article could go with each. If you can think of just one additional article per title, you’ll have doubled your list of titles to have written!

3) Depending on which niche you’re targeting, your content creation and article marketing may have just gotten a lot simpler… Top-tier PLR writer Peggy Baron has created a new collection of Easy Article Starters (EAS). Easy Article Starters are groups of article ideas on one topic, and each gives you a title suggestion, 2 or 3 points to expand on in that article, and a suggestion on how to wrap up the article.

In essence, what Peggy has done is research the niche, come up with the best article topics for that niche then done the basic structure work for you. Since this is what you’re setting out to do yourself here, the time savings are obvious – plus the work has been done by a professional who makes her living writing content for online use!

The only caveat here is that this is a new service, so only some niches are covered so far – you can see if your niche is ready yet by seeing the current Easy Article Starters selection. Peggy is updating the areas covered regularly, so be sure to grab any that can help you right now, and bookmark the page to check regularly for more EAS that pertain to YOUR online efforts.

Article Content Creation – Summary

Coming up with topics for content is nothing to approach in a haphazard way – it needs to be carefully thought out and properly planned. Not just each article, but a long-term, sustainable approach that builds your business without wasting time. Whether you’re just creating content for blogs and websites, creating content for membership sites or PLR sales, or just looking to increase backlinks and traffic from article marketing, you need to establish a system that works for you and lets you plan your content for a few month’s at a time.

That way, you’ll have a smooth flow of fresh content in place where and when you need it regardless of whether you’re going to write the articles yourself or outsource them to a ghostwriter. And when planned out properly, a growing base of online content and unique articles at the article directories can lead to a nicely growing online income, too!

Getting More Targeted Traffic To Your OFFLINE Businesses Is An Online Activity Too!

©2010 Doug Champigny, Offline Businesses Blog – All Rights Reserved Worldwide.

Between search engine optimization (seo), social media marketing, article marketing, blogging, e-mail marketing, backlink building and a raft of other online promotional strategies, there’s an awful lot of focus online on how to get more traffic to your website or blog – but what about driving targeted traffic to offline businesses? That too is an online marketing task that a growing number of offline businesses are just waking up to.

Just like an online business, offline businesses are dependent for their survival on thriving traffic levels – often referred to as ‘footfalls’ in the offline world. Traditionally they’ve used a media marketing mix to achieve this, and in the offline advertising world the rule of thumb was always that it took 8% of gross income invested in advertising to maintain market share, 12% for growth. Of course these were ballpark figures based mostly on retail advertising but while some industries vary from that norm it’s pretty accurate in most instances for most industries.

But with advertising results dwindling quickly from traditional advertising strategies, what’s an offline business to do? They’re agency will tell them they need to spend whatever additional amount is required to achieve their former levels and that the online other alternative is to leave offline businesses twisting in the wind with sales decreasing in step with their diminishing advertising results.

In actual fact, nothing could be further from the truth – these companies should be cutting their traditional media buys by the same percentage that results are dropping, and investing half that savings into online marketing. Why only half? Because online advertising is MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE than any traditional offline media. Most of the traffic generation strategies used online are free, including all of the techniques mentioned at the start of this article, and paid options like CPA, PPC, banner ads and text ads are not only much less expensive but also much more heavily targeted to results. After all, ever tried getting a newspaper or TV station to only charge you based on the number of visitors the ad sent to your website, or the number of footfalls produced?

Even learning HOW to market your business online is much less expensive – high-quality products like Local Internet Marketing Empire, Social Site Matrix and Advanced Marketing On Twitter can each provide powerful online traffic for your business, traffic you then turn into footfalls using your blog and website. Using online coupons, online-only discounts or e-mail flyers are all good ways to track the actual physical offline effect of your online activities, so be sure to keep track of which social media and which online promotional strategies are working best for you.

Whether you outsource your online marketing or train in-house employees to handle your social media marketing and other online promotions is entirely up to you, but I’ll offer one piece of advice: online marketing, social media marketing and especially local Internet marketing aren’t going away – in fact most believe it’s just getting started in spite of phenomenal jumps in usage year after year already. And neither offline ad agencies nor website design companies are experts in online promotion, no matter what they tell you to the contrary.

Anyone who remembers the dotcom bubble burst knows that big, fancy, glossy web sites simply don’t work – they’re nothing more than very expensive ‘sparklies’ for companies that have huge advertising budgets to try and drive traffic to them. And if you think I’m kidding, when did you last see a Fortune 500 company or major brand name come up in a search at the search engines? That’s right – every day these multi-million-dollar websites are blown out of the water by effectively marketed little sites that cost a few hundred dollars at most. So train a couple of loyal employees in the art of online promotion, or learn it yourself if you’re an offline entrepreneur. No other marketing activity has as much upside for so little investment of time and effort on your part, and NONE can be done as cheaply – just look at the prices of those training materials above for all the proof you need!

How To Get More Free Targeted Traffic From Your Current Article Marketing Efforts

Article marketing is one of the main pillars of driving free targeted traffic online. Not only does article marketing allow you to very tightly target potential prospects, but it’s pretty much the only free traffic-generation strategy that has remained unhindered by search engine changes and evolutions over the past 10 or 12 years. With tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands of people already using article marketing online, anything that can suddenly increase their results from those efforts is obviously a pretty big deal.

==============================

Note: This post isn’t about HOW to market using articles – if that’s what you’re looking for then see my free article marketing reports like Article Power and Article Marketing Overview, more in-depth information like my Understanding Article Marketing and < a href="http://start-article-marketing.com/article-marketing-hero/index.html" target="_blank">Article Marketing Super Hero e-books, or simply read these article marketing articles.

==============================

Now you can add the power of the WordPress blogging platform into your article marketing mix in a whole new way… Not by simply adding your articles to your own blog – I’m assuming you’re already professional enough to be doing that – but by hosting your own easy-to-use article directory! We set one up recently using the WP platform as our CMS – take a look at our Articles and Content Article Directory (and even bookmark it to submit your articles). Because it’s built on the WP framework, I was able to install it and tweak it all in one evening. Better still, it’s built using a free theme and all free plugins, so there was no cost to setting it up ( I already owned the domain name and hosting, but once I saw the potential for this I deleted my old site there and installed this over it.)

First up, it’s another place to submit your articles both for traffic and backlinks – and since you OWN the directory, you can do what you like in terms of embedding links in your articles, your sidebars, etc. Secondly, you can target the directory any way you like – adding or subtracting categories is as simple as in any other WordPress blog. While I love EzineArticles.com and have published over 100 articles there, it’s always irked me that they won’t accept articles dealing with private label rights, or allow links to private label rights products, information, etc. With your own article directory, YOU choose what’s acceptable and what isn’t.

Thirdly, and most importantly, you can now invite other authors and marketers to submit articles to your directory. If that seems counter-productive, stop and think for a moment… The more articles published, the greater the potential number of listings for your article directory in the search engines. And since you approve the articles in the same format as you post to your blog, you have the opportunity to ensure each page is search engine optimized – and the various SEO plugins for blogs work just as well in your directory too. Not to mention every page, whether your content or another marketer’s, has YOUR ads, YOUR AdSense, etc, on it along with the author’s links.

And while most authors will just submit articles and leave, smarter pros will also promote their articles there, especially if you use plugins to make the social bookmarking easy for them. Looking back at our article directory you’ll see buttons for sharing each article on FaceBook and Twitter at the top of each article, and one for Google Buzz at the end of the article. There are also buttons at the bottom to bookmark the page on Squidoo, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Technorati, StumbleUpon and other services. The easier you make it for others to promote your directory, the greater the potential traffic and search engine rankings it can achieve. And if links in your Author’s Resource Box drives targeted traffic to your sites and affiliate offers, think of how much more free targeted traffic you can get if those same links appear in the sidebar of every page in your article directory!

On top of it all, I’ve saved the best info for last… You’ve seen how much potential having your own article directory can offer in terms of getting more traffic and boosting your article marketing results substantially, and as I’ve mentioned, once you know how to set these up and what themes, plugins, etc to use you can install your article directory in one day. So you’ll be pleased to know that all of that information is covered in a series of downloadable how-to videos that show you exactly how to install and configure an article directory. Called ‘Your Article Profits‘, the bundle also includes a copy of the free theme and plugins that enable it all, so that as soon as you’re finished watching he instructional videos you’ll be ready to set up an article directory that very same day.

Then, when you submit articles to other directories you publish it in yours as well, and keep on building your article profits!

Why 59 New People Started Sending Me Free Traffic Today

© 2010 Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

Tweet Traffic Rush launched on Thursday (2 days ago) and just took off right from the get-go. And no wonder – this incredible new Twitter traffic tool uses a 10-level downline to build your credits virally…

Credits for what, you ask? Take a look at this Tweet Traffic Rush widget:

Not much different from a lot of other WordPress widgets, right? Wrong. The Tweet Traffic Rush widget can be placed on ANY site – blogs, static sites, social media sites, etc. For the first time, your tweets can now be seen outside of blogs and social media sites – they can be put on any static sites too, thus exposing your tweets to people who may not use Twitter, social sites or visit your blog yet.

Benefits Of Using Tweet Traffic Rush:

So how do you benefit from using this free system? First, of course, because your links in your tweets remain clickable, meaning that for each page view you get on any page the widget is on, you get your tweet shown on someone else’s site. This alone has the potential to bring you in more traffic – how much traffic depends on how many credits you earn…

But notice the link at the bottom of the widget? Every time someone clicks through on that and gets their own free account, you get a matching credit for each one they earn. Over time, that can lead to a lot of credits – a lot of chances for people to click on the links in YOUR tweets, creating more traffic to YOUR sites! And this overflow from below you can go up to 10 levels deep over time!

Obviously as a traffic master my results aren’t typical, but look at the action so far today alone:

Now do you see the power of the Tweet Traffic Rush system? And before you think it’s just because we have hundreds of sites and a big opt-in list, take a look at the action in my downline today:

Today I earned 57 credits (top chart) and referred 8 new people to the system (Level 1, bottom chart). But thanks to my downline I also got 5094 more credits, and 51 additional people in my downline – all through other people’s activities.

The result? Just today, I have 5,151 more credits – over 5,000 more exposures for my tweets, and another 59 people who will be earning me more credits every day. You can start to see the potential of Tweet Traffic Rush, especially considering the site just launched 2 days ago…

Don’t miss out on putting this powerful system to work for you too – as you can see from the numbers above, I could stop talking about it now and go on to my next project, secure in the knowledge that my downline has hit critical mass and will keep growing for me completely through the efforts of others.

Like the idea of other people building your Twitter following and your targeted traffic? Then get into Tweet Traffic Rush today!

Affiliate Marketing Strategy: Choosing The Right Traffic Tools

©2009 Doug Champigny. All Rights Reserved.

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to make money online, and the usual starting point for most work-at-home online businesses. Since the product, web site, sales copy and often even sample e-mails are already created by the merchant, affiliate marketing success simply involves sending enough targeted traffic through your affiliate link to the merchant’s site.

There are paid options to drive targeted traffic, such as the Pay-Per-Click ads you see in the major search engines, ads on web sites and blogs, and solo ads and sponsor ads in e-zines in the niche. But most people starting out with any work-at-home business need to conserve what little investment capital they have, and as such should focus on the myriad of free methods of generating targeted traffic.

The first concern is to decide which traffic tools are right for each affiliate promotion you’re doing. Look over the salespage and decide whether this product or service is short-lived, like a 7-day sale, or liable to be around a long time, like say a dog training guide. Is it a one-time sale, or can you earn recurring commissions as when promoting a monthly membership site or ongoing service?

If it’s short term, focus on the fast traffic generators like Twitter, your e-zine, your blog and social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon or Digg. You want targeted traffic that hits almost instantly, and don’t need to waste time using long-term traffic methods.

If it’s going to be around a while, start by using those same short-term methods to get sales started quickly, then hop over and do some articles, a Squidoo lens and a Google Knol. That gets you the quick traffic from the former, and then keeps some residual targeted traffic going to the page from the latter. If the conversions are good, keep up the short-term til results start to taper off, all the while adding to your long-term efforts. If results aren’t great, let your long-term efforts to date suffice and move on to the next product.

If you’re promoting an affiliate marketing opportunity that pays residual commissions, pull out all stops. Do all of the above, plus record & submit some podcasts, videos and press releases, do either a recorded interview with the site owner or a live teleseminar, use the recording in giveaways, do a few e-zine swaps and maybe even create some viral e-books on the topic to help promote your affiliate links.

In short, there are a lot of ways to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing links for free – just be sure to use the right tools to match the potential returns, start off slow and if you see your affiliate commissions mounting, turn on the afterburners and maximize your return before moving on to your next affiliate marketing opportunity.

Last post we talked about how you could get massive free traffic from Twitter by following the steps laid out in the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. Today we’ll look at how you can get more targeted traffic by tying your Twitter marketing into the power of PLR products.

For today’s example we’ll be using the PLR Spectacular bundle that’s just been released, both becuse it’s topical and because the entire bundle is under $20, meaning it’s with reach of everyone trying to generate more traffic.

This PLR bundle is on building your business with social networking, so it’s a bundle every webmaster, traffic developer and affiliate marketer should be reading anyway. For our purposes, it’s the Social Networking report and squeeze page that are important – take those, edit the report to include your name, your URL and your recommended links (i.e. your sites, blogs and affiliate links you’re trying to drive traffic to). If you’re not familiar with the process of converting PLR to your own unique products, follow along with the step-by-step how-to videos on using PLR in the PLR Tutorial videos package.

Put your autoresponder’s opt-in signup code into the included squeeze page, and get it online on any of your sites. You can plug this into your existing e-zine, or start a new opt-in list by using the 5 PLR articles included in the PLR bundle. On the download page for the report you’re giving away, add your links again, inviting people to visit your other sites. And if you’re using the 5 MySpace PLR articles as a new e-course, add a PS under the issues, each inviting them to check out another of your links. For a final 6th issue, thank them for taking the e-course, explain that they’ve come to the end of it, suggest they sign up for another of your lists, and then once again invite them to visit your main site/blog/affiliate link.

Now getting traffic to all of those links is as simple as giving away that free report! Post a tweet offering the free social networking report every few hours on your Twitter account, put a link to it on your FaceBook and MySpace pages, your Squidoo lenses, Hub Pages, Google Knols, etc, and announce the new resource on your blogs.

Everyone likes getting free information online, especially when that information is on one fo the hottest trends online at the moment – and the best of it is that social networking isn’t just huge in the Internet marketing or affiliate marketing arenas, but has become a phenomenon right across the boards, covering every niche you may be trying to drive traffic to!

It doesn’t have to be this particular PLR to use this system, obviously, but you can see why a Social Networking PLR bundle would work best, since it does indeed fit every niche. Otherwise, you’ll have to get PLR from each niche you’re in and set up and promote each one separately, but the aggregate results wil;l be roughly the same. Personally I’d say use the social networking PLR, since all of your promotional efforts would then target ONE resource, and that one resource can drive traffic to EACH niche you’re operating in.

As a related promotional vehicle, here’s a free list-building video that shows a powerful way to use that report to get more signups and thereby more traffic, using a free system you probably haven’t seen before.

Now go get the PLR bundle, get your free download set up, watch the video and set that up too – all the Top Traffic Tips in the world can’t help if you don’t put what you learn into practice!

I’ve talked a lot so far about using Web 2.0 sites and technolgies to drive traffic to your websites, blogs and affiliate links. Only natural, seeing as how I was chosen as the Web 2.0 Targeted traffic Expert to speak at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas at last year’s Intrnet Marketing SuperConference…

And Web 2.0 traffic generation has improved since then with the phenomenal rise of Twitter – just look at the testimonials on the page for my new Advanced Twitter Marketing System. From Internet marketing gurus like Willie Crawford, Harris Fellman & Peter Parks to complete newbies, every one of those testimonials is from someone who got more targeted traffic from Twitter within the first few days of trying the Advanced Twitter Marketing System!

But be that as it may, I don’t want you to miss out on the old-school traffic generation techniques either… In fact, the old tools to create traffic to a website still work well, and their effect is mltiplied when combined with the new Web 2.0 targeted traffic strategies. For example, there’s a great blog post today from Kenneth Koh on Free Search Engine Traffic, showing the results he got using keyword research, link building and the like.

The beauty of SEO work like that is once it’s done you can just leave it to work, while you apply today’s faster and bigger Web 2.0 strategies – since you’re already getting the search engine traffic, tie the two together. Use Twitter, FaceBook, Weebly, StumbleUpon, MyBlogLog, Google Knol, MySpace etc. to drive traffic to those same sites, and link from those sites to your profiles on the Web 2.0 sites – get your cross-traffic happening and the whole thing just keeps growing exponentially!

And then, of course, throw Twitter into the mix to really skyrocket your results! Don’t go at it haphazardy though – be sure to follow the system I’ve laid out for you in the Advanced Twitter Marketing System. After all, why settle for mediocre results when you can soar?

If you’re serious about making money – BIG money – online, use Kenneth’s advice on SEO & keywords, then follow the steps laid out here and in the Advanced twitter Marketing manual to grow your traffic exponentially. Can you have too much targeted traffic? Only if you think success brings you too much money!

Many business owners are now capitalizing on Twitter’s popularity to market their business by driving hoards of targeted traffic from this most-powerful of Web 2.0 social networking sites. Twittering is very addictive and it’s no wonder why millions of people send out tweets all day long. The tweets are merely 140 characters and it is also called micro-blogging. With only a few characters, you will need to answer the Twitter question just like other users of the social site. Just keep in mind that if you set your perspectives straight and use the site properly, you can financially and personally gain something from these Twitter fans.

To implement Twitter as a marketing tool, here’s a few Twitter marketing tips:

Twitter Search is a very effective tool that allows you to check on your business. You will be surprised to find out how much chattering takes place in Twitter. Find out what others are saying about your business and learn from them. If you find any criticisms, think about them carefully. You can also make some adjustments to your business if there is a need to so that you ensure profitability.

Keep your followers informed. Once you sign up for your Twitter account, you should be active in sending out tweets to all your followers. Choose the people you follow on Twitter. If this is your first time to use Twitter as a marketing tool, you should follow the right people. Choose the ones who are also utilizing Twitter for online marketing because you can learn a lot from them.

You should also check if the people you’re following are also following back. Once you have many followers, you can now send marketing messages but try to send helpful information too – any information that’s relevant to your market’s needs, including retweeting others.

You can also let your followers know about your promotions through the tweets. If you’re also sending them helpful suggestions and information in many of your tweets and retweets, you’ll find growing response to your marketing posts & links.

Gathering as many targeted followers as you can is vital to ensure your success in Twitter marketing; have you heard of the Twitter limits? Check your numbers regularly. When you’ve followed 2,000 people and you have less than 1,800 followers, you can no longer follow more people. By checking your numbers, you can avoid technical problems like this one.

When someone follows you, take care of that person by sending him/her personal tweets. By befriending your followers, you can build stronger relationships. A relationship built on trust is very important for your marketing campaigns. Keep in mind that you can’t market your products or services to people who aren’t already following you on Twitter.

Capitalizing on Twitter’s popularity can be rewarding but only if you know what you’re doing. Learn everything you can about Twitter. Follow gurus and learn from their experience. If you keep yourself well-informed, you can succeed in online marketing through Twitter.

Many business people are now utilizing social networks because they know they’re effective platforms for promotions. If you plan to use Twitter, you need to have the right knowledge. Start with resources like the Twitter Effect Videos and some of the suggestions on the Advanced Twitter Marketing blog.

Once you have the knack for Twitter marketing, you’ll know what the fuss is over using Web 2.0 targeted traffic tactics – you’re websites, blogs and cash register will all be much busier!
