Follow the directions below as well as watch the Three Part Video Training Series and you should have a clear understanding of how to make this a powerful part of your online marketing plan.



STEP #1 - Write a good article to submit online.

Watch these videos first to learn how we research, create, prepare and post effective, keyword focussed articles to powerful article submission directories all over the internet:

When you are writing articles to distribute online you will want to choose topice that are related to both the product (opportunity) you're promoting and one or more targeted keywords that are associated with what you are promoting.

That gives you two distinct advantages...


1. You're able to capitalize on everyone who is searching for a particular keyword and will therefore already be highly interested in the subject of your article.

2. You're able to mention specific products (opportunities) or offers withing the article (related to both the topic and the keyword) and then provide links that take the reader directly to any pages you want to promote.

Article Title:

So You Want To Start A Home Business... Do You Have A System In Place To Increase
Your Chances Of Success?

Author: Joe Articlemarketer

Article Body:

What is it that makes some home business opportunities shine while others become
casualties and another notch on the belt of failed home business entrepreneurs?
Throughout my own extensive research I think I’ve came up with the solution and
cracked the code to home business success or failure.

As an online entrepreneur I must tell you that I get approached with blazing new
business opportunities pretty much on a daily basis. It seems as though everyone is
telling me I’m going to be a billionaire simply because they have a new revolutionary
product to offer or a compensation plan that has never been seen before in the history
of network marketing.

Most of the time I stare blankly at the person pitching me and ask them this, "Do you
have a home business marketing SYSTEM put in place to go sell this new wonder
product?"

I’ll be honest with you, 99% of the time I hear this... "System, what are you talking about?
This product is so amazing that it practically sells itself!" So in other words NO, they don’ t
have a proper home business marketing system put in place and will likely go out of
business soon after.

I’m going to let you all in on a little secret that I have discovered from my own home
business experience. No product will EVER sell itself if there isn’t a proper marketing
plan and SYSTEM put in place. It just doesn’t work that way!

If you want to make money online you have two options you can pursue. Option one,
become a sales, marketing, statistics, and computer genius as well as teach other
people how to become those things.

Or

Option two, Forget the sales junk and align yourself with a proper home business
marketing SYSTEM that will help take care of the selling for you!

Personally, sales are okay and if you’ve got the skills you can make some good money,
but my sales skills haven’t made me a fraction of the money that a good SYSTEM can.
The reason for that is because I can show other people how to use a SYSTEM, but I
can’t always teach other people how to become salesman (or saleswoman).

Besides, I would rather have my home business marketing SYSTEM working for me 24
hours a day, even while I’m sleeping, then picking up the phone and trying to "sell
people" for 8 hours a day. (That makes me nauseous even thinking about it!)

This my friend is the power of LEVERAGE! By using a good SYSTEM you can leverage
your time and efforts to get more accomplished by working less.

In other words... SYSTEMS = LEVERAGE.

In the end, I encourage you to get out there and find a home business opportunity that
has a "System" already put in place for you to have success. Products and
compensation plans are great but it’s the "System" that will get you the money you really
want to make from home.

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

There are a couple of things you should take note about this article.


1. Do you see how "Start A Home Business" is in the title of the article? You always want to use your base keyword in the title because it's going to target the audience you're after (people wanting to start a home business) and it's going to be search engine friendly and easy for people looking for this type of information.

2. Did you notice that the phrase "Home Business" was used very frequently throughout the article? Again, this is to make your article very search friendly and easy for people to find when I submit it.

3. Did you notice that it didn't say anything about a specific opportunity until the slight recommendation in the Author's Resource Box at the bottom? When you write articles, don't treat them as a sales letter. The #1 sought after thing online is information. Your goal is to give them good information they can use then slip in a quick invitation or recommendation at the end. If people like your article they will click your link to find out more about you and that is what you're after.


A few other tips about writing good search friendly articles:


1. Your article doesn't have to be that long. I suggest writing articles that are between 1/2 and 2 pages long. Don't think you need to write a long drawn out book, just pick a key point you want to get across and work off that.

2. Even if you're not a writer, new to your home business, or just think you don't have any good information YOU ARE SO WRONG. Write the article! Everyone has some information that other people would find interesting. You could write about being a home business mom, starting a home business to save money for retirement, tips for starting a home business, tips for marketing and generating traffic effectively, tips on how to use Attraction Marketing basics to grow and effective home business how to locate the right home business, the difference between network marketing and direct sales businesses, top ten reasons to start a home business, how to turn you kitchen table into your home business office, etc...

The possibilities are endless and everyone reading this can write about something that deals with "starting a home business" or "attraction marketing & list building".

3. Make sure you proofread and spell check your articles before you submit them online. People won't take you serious if you have a bunch of blatant errors in your articles.



Step #2 A Super Tactic: Use POWERFUL Attraction Marketing Psychology & Inject Your Article Marketing Plan With Some Rocket Fuel - Create A Capture Page That Is ONLY Used For Traffic You Get From Your Articles


Although you could just use your primary capture page that you've built using http://www.theTRAFFICplan.com  
or your Custom Attraction Marketing Minisite you created at you can greatly increase your opt in percentage by creating a page strategically designed to optimize lead generation from the articles you submit.

You want to build a specific Lead Capture page for 2 very important reasons:

1. The page you create can speak directly to the audience that is viewing it. If you know that everyone who will see this page has just read one of your articles, you can customize the page to reflect that (I'll show you an example here in a second).

2. You want to keep specific stats on how much traffic you get from submitting your articles online and how many people opt in to become leads from this strategy.


To show you a sample of an "Ad Specific Capture Page" visit the link below and you'll see a lead capture page we use ONLY for traffic that is generated from email marketing solo ads.

http://www.GlobalCashflowSystems.com/index-email.html
 

There are a couple things to note about this capture page.


1. The page is directed at the target audience coming from email ads. You can even read in the copy where it mentions that we know they came from clicking on and email ad.


2. The page is clean and has a set color scheme that matches the background. Don't get carried away with color and stick to a 2 to 3 color plan.


3. The name and information of the site owner is on the site and prominent for branding purposes. When these leads optin and start receiving the Free Attraction Marketing Newsletter, they will again see the name of the author and the link and this will help position yourself in their subconscious mind as a serious potential business partner that offers content, value and professionalism and not the same old hyped up pitch-fest that most follow up campaigns seem to be. You want them to have a picture in their mind of you as someone who can help them succeed. The value of branding and position is HUGE in online marketing only because our industry is full of hype, lies and "marketers" who hide behind websites and email.



Step #3 - Submit Your Article Online


Now that you've written an article as well as linked it to your special capture page that will be used just for this form of advertising, the last thing you need to do is get your articles out there on the internet. You do this by submitting them to article directories.


Here is a list of the top article directories:

Article City - http://www.ArticleCity.com

Ezine Articles - http://www.ezinearticles.com

ISnare - http://www.isnare.com

Go Articles - http://www.goarticles.com

Article Feeder - http://www.articlefeeder.com 


There are many other article directories you can post to also. Do a search online for "Article Directories" of "Submit Articles Online" to find some others. When you go to post your first article you will need to open an account with each of these directories. Simply take it one at a time and then make sure you keep your login information somewhere for the next time you write and post an article.


Step #4 - Repeat The Process Over and Over Again


It's very important that you don't just write one article and call it a career! You should strive to write at least one article a week and get it published. Since you don't need to create a new capture page for each article and you already have accounts set up with many of the article directories, your next articles should be easier to accomplish and take less time.


Just think -

If you wrote...  just one article a week, that would be 52 articles you would have floating around online in just one year! That could be a ton of traffic coming back to your capture page and leads being generated for your opportunity.

It's a wrap! I hope you've enjoyed this brief glimpse into the power of Artlicle Marketing and how it can be a major force in your marketing plan. You can positions yourself as a proven leader and teacher of online marketing by putting these tactics to work for you, and even better... to teach this stuff in emails, videos and on the forums.

Online marketing is a simple art & science. There nothing too hard about it. And you can leverage the power of this information and the internet to bring home some bacon to your family and design the lifestyle of your dreams.
