And with good reason??.. it is so easy to do, cost little to nothing and can flood your website with tons of FREE traffic. Just one well written article can provide your website with traffic, sometimes for years to come. Just imagine if you were to write and submit one article a day?

Here are the ?Nuts & Bolts? of what is involved....

Write a few articles around 300 to 500 words in a subject matter that you know about. Or themed after a product that you are promoting.

Place your name and website in the authors Bio (Resource Box) at the bottom of the article.

Do an internet search for ?Article Directories? and submit your articles to them free.

That's the skinny of it and basically as tough as it gets.

Now?. When you submit your article/s to the article directories, website owners will go to the directory and copy your article and place it on their website so that they will have fresh content on there website.

This benefits you in two ways??.

First, Google will reward you for having many backlinks pointing to your website by raising your PR. (Page Rank) This means that after some time and as your backlinks increase, your webpage will raise further and further towards the top of the search engine listings. This is known as ?Organic Listings? and will provide you with a steady source of free traffic.

Second, All those websites that have your article will be sending potential customers to your website and giving you a chance to convert them to customers.

If you have no product of your own to sell, no problem, here are two ways you can get great products to sell.

One:

You can go to one of the internets largest resalable product showcases and fine something in pretty much any category. The site that I use is nlcjax.com/cb/. At this web site you can select from thousands of instantly downloadable products and almost all of them come with resell rights. This means that you have the right to resell the product and keep 100% of the money for yourself. Most all of them will also include a professional sales website ready for you to put your Paypal link (Or Other Payment link) into and start promoting, (Article Promotion First?.) remember?

Two:

If you do not have any money to start off with or want to get your feet wet before you invest ANY money, then sign up for a free ClickBank account. ClickBank is a place that will allow you to promote other peoples products and receive a commission for your efforts. This is called ?Affiliate Marketing? Do not overlook this technique. There are thousands and thousands of people making a VERY comfortable living using ONLY affiliate marketing. And I mean money into the millions of dollars per year. You can go to clickbank.com for more information.

One last thing:

One small problem with article marketing is the time that it takes to submit your article to all the Article Directories. And there are tons of them. What I do, is use a special software program semi automatically submits my articles to 160+ of Article Directories. I love it. The fully automatically ones just spam sites and will get you banned. Saves me a ton of time and I can spend more time doing what counts the most, writing more articles.
