The purpose of article marketing is to establish credibility and drive traffic back to your blog. If your article contains good value then it’s fairly likely that the reader will want to visit your website to find more valuable information.

What is Article Marketing?

Article marketing in a nutshell is providing readers with valuable information for free.

It allows you to get promote yourself and your company by producing articles that can be distributed all over the Internet. You’re not limited to just the article directories, you’re making your content freely available for reproduction on other websites.

Writing articles that target a specific niche can help set you up as an expert or authority on the topic. This should lead to readers wanting to learn more from you and result in traffic to your website.

Choosing Your Articles Title

Your articles title should be keyword rich as well as clearly stating what the article is about. For example, if your article was about generating traffic to a website then a good title would be “Traffic Generation – 7 Methods To Increase Web Traffic”.

I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I’d be sharing information here on this blog about Traffic Generation. Well, I have just completed a module all about the importance of Social Media with my mentor Alex Jeffreys.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be updating this blog with posts containing everything I’ve been taught plus more with regards to generating traffic to your website.

I’ve created a category called ‘Traffic Generation‘ so that you will be able to find all the information easily and refer back to it at a later date. After all, you won’t be able to implement every method at once.

I’ll get my first traffic generation post up for you shortly but until then, keep filling your blog with useful information or updating it with your story so that others can relate to you.

Remember, I’m here to help you so if you have any questions, please post a comment below.

Cheers

It’s all very well having a good content on your blog and great plugins doing work for you but if this is the place where people are going to come to read about you, then you certainly don’t want it looking unprofessional or amateurish.

To fix this you need to change your blogs theme. At this point most people will take the simple route and go to search among the many free WordPress themes that are available. For the majority of people just getting started, this is probably the best thing to do, especially if you’re working on a budget.

However, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be quite picky and want your blog to look a certain way with a certain colour scheme etc. In this case, you have a few options;

• You understand HTML, PHP and CSS and therefore will be able to modify a theme to get it looking exactly the way you want it.
• You’re willing to hire someone to design your blog theme for you.
• You make a one time payment and purchase the Thesis Theme. With this theme, you can get your blog laid out exactly how you want it without having to know any coding at all. You select the relevant options and this theme automatically does all the coding for you. Its design also has built in optimised SEO, so that’s one less thing for you to worry about.

Hey guys,

Just a quick update to let you know how things are going with my mentoring program so far.

Other than learning how to plan out my work, which leads to getting a lot more done each day, believe me, the main thing I’ve had to do so far is to get this blog setup. If you read my other posts you will see that I’ve described exactly how you can do this for yourself in the Getting Started section.

My mentor is very big on the importance of list building. In fact he actually paid Mike Filsaime to teach him the best ways to do this. You may have heard the expression “the money is in the list”. This couldn’t be more true.

You can get a Free Report about list building written by my mentor here.

The next stage of my mentoring will be all about traffic generation. I can’t wait to learn more about this because without traffic, you have no customers and if you have no customers, there’s no money to be made.
