How’s Your Article Marketing Strategy Working?
Filed Under Article Marketing, Internet Marketing, Main Content | Leave a Comment
By: Steve Casteel
Having a good article marketing strategy can really give your article marketing efforts a boost. There is little doubt that article marketing is one of the best, if not THE best way of driving free, targeted traffic to your offers, not to mention all of the SEO benefits that article marketing provides.
But what about an article marketing strategy ? Is there such a thing and will it help me?
Well, the short answer to those questions are yes, and maybe. What I am going to do in this post is layout the article marketing strategy that has worked well for me. By no means am I implying that this is the only article marketing strategy that you should use, just that this one works for me. Feel free to adapt any of these tips to whatever method you use.
Article Marketing Strategy Tip #1
Sit down and plan your article submissions at least a week in advance. This an important step and taking the time to do this right will save you a lot of time. Know what articles you are going to submit each day and to what directories you are going to submit them to, and then follow your plan!
Article Marketing Strategy Tip #2
When you are launching a new site or entering a new niche, plan on submitting at least two articles and if possible more every day for 7 to 10 days. Don’t sweat anything you may have heard about not bulk submitting articles. If you have 5 or 6 articles ready to submit go ahead and submit them. This will help you get more readers right off the bat and you will control more real estate inside that category listing.
Article Marketing Strategy Tip #3
Once you start receiving traffic and hopefully sales, submit at least one article a day for the next 4 to 6 weeks.
Make this a habit!
This will greatly increase your chances of getting a lot of article views, traffic and again, hopefully sales and will also keep the search engines returning.
Article Marketing Strategy #4
Once you have established steady traffic and sales submit 2 to 3 articles a week in this niche. Now “steady traffic and sales” is a relative measurement and depends on the particular niche. For some niches two or 3 sales a week may be great while for a smaller more obscure niche, one sale a week may be good. The important thing here is to weigh your results (sales, opt-ins, etc) with the effort to see if the niche is going to be worth your time pursuing any further.
Article Marketing Strategy #5
Always keep track of your vistors per article and keep your eye on your earnings per article. You can use your web stats to do some of this tracking but the best way to do this is to actually have a tracking system in place so you can tell exactly what your articles are doing.
This is a very important step. You should always keep track of your ROI and your earnings per article. If you are not tracking, you cannot test and if you can’t test you will never know what works best.
Well that’s it for my article marketing strategy. Give this a try or develop your own article marketing strategy and see what happens. I think that you may be pleasantly surprised.

Having a squeeze page, or as it is also known, a landing page is an essential part of your sales funnel. Without one you can’t build your list, can’t follow up with prospects or get a second chance at making the sale. Not only is a squeeze page an absolute must, having a squeeze page that converts well is even more important.
So how do you increase the conversion rate of your squeeze pages?
Here are three squeeze page conversion secrets used by all the big dog marketers.
- Squeeze Page Secret #1
Use Personalization.
There are two easy methods to personalize your squeeze page and I recommend using them both.
Make sure that you include a picture of yourself at the top of all of your squeeze pages.The second way to add personalization is to add your signature at the bottom of your squeeze page.
An easy way to make a signature is to use a script font in your word processing program, write your name and then save it as a graphic file.Adding your picture and signature to your squeeze pages will radically increase your visitors trust factor. Most people who are hesitant to purchase online because they are worried about being scammed by some nameless, faceless stranger who will not be around when they need support or want to return a product. - Squeeze Page Secret #2
Use Black Text On A White Background.
No matter what anyone tells you, a simple, clean and professional looking squeeze page will always covert better than one that uses loads of crazy looking off beat fonts and wild colors. It’s ok to use some color to emphasize your headline and sub-headlines (red works well for this), but don’t go crazy and distract your visitor.Remember, your squeeze page only has one purpose: Opt-in or leave. Any other choices like adsense ads or other links will only lower your conversion rates. - Offer Valuable FREE Content.
I know this is sort of a no-brainer, but these days the FREE bar has been raised considerably! You are not going to get anyone to join your list by offering some crappy report that doesn’t provide really good information. Reports, e-books, videos and e-courses still work well as long as they offer high quality information.Offering free, quality information is still effective for two reasons.
One, it allows your visitor to evaluate you and your products without having to spend any money, and secondly it reinforces the all important trust factor.
Follow these three steps and you will significantly increase your squeeze page conversion rates.

I just spent some time checking out the site and some of the available videos and this looks like it has a lot of potential to be a high quality article directory. Besides the obvious benefits of having another directory to submit your articles to, AffSphere is going to allow you to place your adsense code and banner ads on your article pages. This could result in some decent income as well as traffic and backlinks to your sites.

4 Secrets To A Wildly Profitable Home-Based Internet Business
Filed Under Main Content, Work From Home | Leave a Comment
By: Steve Casteel
Generating serious income from a home-based Internet business requires more than ‘good ideas’ or hard work. It requires a step-by-step system that is proven to convert prospects into customers, all while letting you work ’smarter’, not harder.
An effective system, no matter what it is you’re selling, should revolve around the following process: Target Your Market -> Target Your Offer -> Drive Targeted Traffic To Offer -> Follow Up.
Let’s talk about each component now in a little more detail.
Target Your Market
This is always the first step when starting an Internet business. If you’re already in business and not making much money, I would recommend going back to review your market research. Improper targeting can bring your whole business to its knees no matter what else you do.
Target Your Offer
Once you find a hot market, you must find an appropriate offer for that market. This means bringing unique products/services to that market that truly address the market’s needs, problems or concerns.
Pay close attention to the difference between targeting and relevance.
What’s ‘relevant’ is not always targeted.
For example, a warm coat would be relevant to someone living in Alaska because it’s cold there; but, as a product, it wouldn’t be very targeted unless the coat had some special feature that people there would use. This is a subtle distinction, but an important one.
Drive Targeted Traffic
Targeted traffic is market-specific traffic. In other words, you want to draw visitors to your offer from the market you’re targeting. This is not just about using the right keywords, but also about advertising on market-related websites using text links, banner ads, signature files, classifieds and anything else at your disposal.
Follow Up
You should try to capture as much of the traffic to your site as possible onto an opt-in email list. This list will allow you to keep your offer in front of your prospects until they convert into customers. It will also allow you to generate repeat business from existing customers.
If you follow these four steps, you’ll have a winning system that can generate significant profits for you now and in the future. The steps are based on solid marketing principles and will work for you in any niche market, which means you can put the system in place in as many Internet business as you like!
