Dear Friend,
Yes! It really is this simple...
Every month I average more than $5,864.44 in sales from just one of my websites (I have 9, 13, 15, 16 of them!)... and I do this with traffic I don't lay out a single penny for up front!
How do I do it?
A number of ways, but the most important one I'm going to tell you about today is with free articles I send out over the Internet.
The website I mentioned above recently received 23,234 targeted visits in just 1 month from over 1,651 different sources - many of which came from my articles published in other people's ezines and on their websites. Like I said above, on average, those visitors convert into more than $5,864.41 in sales every month. I don't have to do much of anything now but cash the checks which come in twice a month.
Oh, one more thing, that website has been TOP #1 or #2 out of 1,000's of merchants on ClickBank's Business to Business Category for almost three years now (Click For Proof)!
Here's my question to you: Even if you're making sales from your website, are you paying through the nose for the traffic that gets you those sales?
If you're making less than $500 a month from your website sales -- or even if you're making a lot more -- read every word of this letter very carefully and I will share with you information about my method for getting free traffic that turns into hard cash month... after month... after month!
Have you ever asked...
"How can I get more visitors to my website
without spending a fortune in advertising?"
I used to ask that question daily until I discovered a dependable traffic source that
" Doesn't run dry...
" Requires no complicated knowledge or skills, and...
" Doesn't cost any money to advertise!
Every website could use more traffic!
Every website could benefit from an extra 100, 200... even 500 visitors a day - especially if you didn't have to pay for them!
Those extra visitors translate into spendable cash... and I like that. However, if you're like me, you're not a search engine guru and you don't have an unlimited advertising budget. Also, you know that traffic schemes like "safe lists", FFA links pages, and "exit traffic" exchanges simply don't work.
So what do you do?
Well, I've found a system for generating steady traffic to my websites that doesn't require you to become some sort of "guru" who can manipulate HTML code or install strange scripts. I've found something far simpler and effective that anyone can duplicate that drives targeted customers to your website as well or better than all the complicated and costly traffic schemes in the world!
It's a simple formula really - I'll tell you exactly how it works right now...
Step #1 - You write a 500 word article on a topic of great interest to a targeted audience and then...
Step #2 - You get a few of the tens-of-thousands of ezine publishers on the Web (who by the way need articles desperately) to run your article to their thousands of subscribers.
Step #3 - Of those thousands of people who see your article, some will click on your link at the bottom of the article, visit your website, and purchase your products (or earn you commissions by purchasing other people's products through your affiliate links.)
What makes this system even more effective is that, in many cases, website owners will also post your article to their websites (they're hungry for content too!), the search engines will index those pages, and you end up getting traffic for months -- sometimes years -- after you initially publish your article.
Bottom Line: You continue to get traffic and customers from a one-time action!
How Is This Different and Better?
As you can see, we're not hiding anything! But 3 things make what we offer fresh and new over ANYTHING you'll find anywhere else on this subject:
1. Step-By-Step Plan: We'll show you, step-by-step with a specific action plan, exactly how to write and publish a 'KILLER' article on the web.
2. Money-Making: We'll show you, step-by-step, how and where to find, persuade and motivate dozens, hundreds, even thousands of ezine publishers and website owners to publish your article and post it to their websites.
3. Time-Saving: Just copy me! I've consistently used articles to create traffic in many different industries with many different websites... and I will show you exactly how to do it. (I'm not a "one-hit wonder" or somebody who got lucky with one article.)
The Worst-Case Scenario
Now some people - maybe even you - may wonder if promoting with articles always works to drive HUGE numbers of visitors to your site instantly every single time you do it. The truth is not every single article you write and distribute online will hit a "home run" and bring an avalanche of visitors to your site... in fact, some of my articles are "bunts" and "singles." But I have so many articles out there now that they all add up to a tremendous volume of steady traffic! Periodically I hit a "grand slam home run" with an article that takes on a life of its own and dumps thousands of visitors on my site in a couple of days!
But I have great news! Here's the worst thing that can happen with each and every article you publish:
" You continue to build your reputation and credibility with your target audience as a trusted expert.

" As your credibility increases, "Joint Venture" partners will begin to seek you out and be open to your approaches.

" You'll create additional tools your affiliates can use to sell more of your products.

" You create more valuable content for your own and other people's websites that the search engines can index - driving even more traffic to your website or affiliate link.

" You create additional installments for your autoresponder series that you can easily turn into profitable "mini-courses."

" You'll get better and better at picking topics, distributing articles and your traffic logs will snowball with targeted visitors.

" ... much more!
In fact, just by writing and distributing free articles on the Internet (something that gets pretty easy once you start doing it), you will become recognized as a world-class expert on the topic of your choice and you will have people seeking you out for all kinds of lucrative opportunities.
So you see, promoting with articles represents one of the best ways to not only get FREE traffic, but to build your business and your reputation online as well!
It's not your fault if you don't have enough traffic!
The traditional ways to getting traffic to your website can be
just plain difficult and confusing!
Beside the fact that the web grows more crowded every day, traditional traffic generation just keeps getting more complicated and confusing. Let's look at your options:
" Search Engines - the closest thing to online marketing "Voodoo", the search engine rules change daily. As a former Vice President of Marketing for a major search engine optimization company, I can tell you that getting traffic this way is complicated, time-consuming... and VERY unpredictable. Keep the Pepto-Bismol handy if you choose to get your traffic this way.
" Yahoo! - Yahoo! now charges $300 per year (with no guarantee of acceptance). They also change their rules a couple of times a year... so, after spending all that money, you still have no guarantee of good placement or traffic from Yahoo!
" Pay-Per-Click Search Engines - although you can guarantee traffic to your site, those pay-per-click charges add up fast! Paying $20-$100 per hundred visitors makes it harder and harder to make any money this way.
" Email Marketing - It used to be every online marketer's goal to have a big list of subscribers. But now, people are slowly becoming "immune" to email. They get 50 spam messages for every one they want to read. It's too easy for your message to get lost and deleted.
" FFA pages and "Safe Lists" - These techniques do nothing more than flood your email box with spam and rarely -- if ever -- create additional sales.
" Banners - PLEEEAZE! Banners get ignored more than telemarketers! Banners don't work at all anymore... if they ever did!
Your best source of FREE, Targeted Traffic and Customers!
I've done it all when it comes to getting traffic: traditional search engines... Yahoo!... email marketing... FFA pages... pay-per-click... even some SPAM early on in my career (but not much of that). Here's my philosophy when it comes to generating website traffic.
It's quite simple really...
"You would much rather have a thousand people sending you two visitors a day than depend on two sources to each send you a thousand visitors a day!"
(Re-read the above sentence one more time and let it sink in. It might just save your business!)
If you get your traffic spread out among hundreds and thousands of different sources and you lose one or two it's no big deal... business continues and life is good.
But if all your traffic only comes from pay-per-click, or Yahoo!, or search engines like Google, or just a few key affiliates - what happens if you lose one of those sources?
Answer: Your cash flow goes in the dumpster overnight!

I want to share an article written by Terry Dean who reminded us
seven mistakes we may make in our internet marketing bussiness:

Below are 7 Mistakes which you can constantly see many internet businesses making over and over again. Each of these mistakes can easily cost your business thousands or tens of thousands of dollars yearly.
As a matter of fact, I see many internet businesses out there that have next to no chance of success because a couple of these problems are at the very heart of their business.
If your business is built on a weak foundation, there is no way it will be able to produce maximum income for you even if it does somehow survive.
Mistake #1: You have a short-sighted vision
Do you have a long term plan for your business or are you just trying to make it through the month?
I know marketers who have a 1 year plan, 5 year plan, 10 year plan, and even a 50 year plan for their business...What does your plan consist of?
A lot of people are making fun of Amazon.com because of the fact that they lose an average of $3.00 per book that they sell. Do you realize though what their long term plan is?
Every single day they are using their large financial backing to take up more and more of the book market share. They are quickly becoming the most well known bookstore on the earth...and every other bookstore is beginning to feel the pressure from them.
I am definitely not suggesting to you that you need to start losing money to gain customers, because most of us small businesses just couldn't afford that tactic. What I am suggesting to you is yhat you learn the lifetime value of a customer.
It is 7 - 10 easier to sell a product to an existing customer than it is to sell to a new customer. How are you building the relationships with your current customers? Are you seeking out and finding new products that meet other needs and wants they might have? Are you treating your current customers as your most valuable asset in your business?
Mistake #2: You aren't willing to think outside the box.
For many internet marketers, they only see two types of advertising. Number 1 for them is free advertising such as free links, free classifieds, newsgroup participation, and more. Secondly, they see paid advertising such as banner ads, offline advertising, and paid links.
What about finding people in your business to endorse your products or services to their customers and splitting the profits? Jay Abraham and Mike Enlow both list this as the most powerful marketing tool in existence...do you even know about it?
Press releases can get traffic to your site almost overnight if you have something that people want or need...have you worked with the media to get some Free traffic?
Have you considered setting up your own affiliate program? This is the quickest and easiest way to expand the sales of any successful product or business. Let other people start selling it for you!
Mistake #3: You have fallen in love with the wrong product.
Have you fallen in love with the wrong product? It is interesting to note that in the Direct Mail Bootcamp, where a Dozen Top Marketers gathered together to discuss the recipe for marketing success, one of the main reasons for failure that they all agreed upon was...falling in love with your product or service.
I understand that your product may be your baby, but you will have to be willing to give it up if it isn't what the market wants. Every day the world market is changing and you have to be changing right alongside it. It may be that demand for your product is declining...if so, are you willing to give it up and find a product people want?
Start asking some questions of your web site visitors or ezine readers.
Ask them what it is that they want. What is it that they are looking for?
You may find out that you have been barking up the wrong tree and trying to sell them something that they don't really want (Even if it is what they need).
You will go broke trying to sell people what they need...if it isn't what they want! The actual statistics are that only one out of every seven products turns out to be a winner. Go with the odds and be willing to change if your market WANTS something different.
Mistake #4: You don't have a Unique Web Position.
What makes your site different than everyone else's? Why should they visit you instead of somewhere else? Why should they buy from you instead of the competition?
If you can't answer those questions in one quick sentence, then you don't have the type of UWP you need to succeed in today's worldwide business environment.
Spend some time and visit the competition. What is it that you do better than them? What is it that you offer different from them? For example, in the internet marketing sites out there, so many of them are only me-too sites. What are you going to do to make yourself different than the rest? Is it better prices, better services, free stuff, quicker results, etc.?
Mistake #5: You haven't researched your market enough.
Do you know what it is that your market wants? Have you ever taken the time to go back to your customers and ask them why they bought from you in the first place? Have you spent time in discussion groups, mailing lists, and newsgroups to find out what problems people may be having or what they are looking for?
If you don't know why people buy from you, how can you target them correctly or write a sales letter that will hit their hot buttons? I will give you the answer to that one...you can't do it.
Concept is more important than ad copy. Coming up with exactly the right concept (or angle) for your product will make OK ad copy sell like crazy. A poor concept could never be made profitable even by the best copywriters out there.
Mistake #6: You aren't dealing with people as individuals.
Don't talk to everyone...deal with individuals. I believe in automating as much of the sales process as possible, but there still comes the time that you have to deal with people like people. We run the numbers on our sales statistics, but people are not just numbers.
Always remember the human element. Those aren't just email addresses out there. They are real live individuals who have wants, needs, and desires just like you. Deal with them that way.
Be willing to help...Be willing to give away free information...Give away free samples...Be someone that people like.
Mistake #7: You give up too soon.
This almost goes without saying, but many individuals give up too soon.
I have seen hundreds of individuals make some of the mistakes above on their sites, lose a little money, and then give up in disgust believing that the internet just doesn't work.
I am not just dealing with your entire business either. Sometimes people give up on advertising too soon. They don't test it enough. Instead of believing that a certain web site isn't a good place to advertise or that a certain ezine doesn't bring in responses for you, did you try editing your ad first. I have seen ads double, triple, or even have as high as 10 times or more effectiveness on the same sites just by a couple of changes.
What do you do now that you know these 7 deadly internet sins?
Read through them...Take them to heart...Make changes in your business if needed. Don't just walk away from this and say, "That was a pretty good article." Use it and let these tips help you in your business.

Sure this article can help our business in some ways.
