How To Master Article Writing To Get More Traffic
If you are starving for traffic, can't seem to consistently
draw thousands of visitors to your website each day and
struggle to get them to buy when they get there - you can
benefit from this technique.
For several months now I've consistently written and submitted
at least 2 articles each week.
The articles are NOT the crappy 300 word articles loaded with
keywords with very little added value for human readers, but
articles in the 500-800 word range that follow a very specific
formula.
There are MANY ways to massively increase your traffic - the
grandaddy of courses if you are ready to get serious is
Traffic Secrets over at:
http://www.highertrustmarketing.com/part/ts
Writing articles with this format is one of the best methods.
Here's how to write 2 articles each week in less than 60-minutes.

Read Your Market's Mind - 3 Great Market Research Resources
Starting a new online business, developing a new product,
launching a new marketing campaign, buying advertising
can all depend on how well you are able to research your
market.
All business is based on demand.
The formula and 40 techniques for finding demand we list
in "The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur's Success Package"
show that there are many ways to discover and test demand.
One of the leading ways is to look at magazines, journals,
and media sources within a given market or on a specific
target.
Specifically, what you want to see is evidence that:
1. There are multiple magazine titles focused on your
market and/or proposed business idea. If there are no
magazines targeting your market, that is a surefire warning
sign that you may not have your market segmentation or
problem statement correct.
Another factor important to your success is that... Read

You - An Online Infoproduct Publisher?
I joined several top marketers had a blast on a conference
call last evening reviewing the latest results of a mass
consumer survey pioneered by Ken McCarthur (owner of many
sites including Affiliate Showcase and JV Alert).
The survey will be made available soon, and I can't wait
to tell people about it because it really is chalk-full
of some very revealing things about information product
buying habits online.
Perhaps the most revealing part of the study is a breakdown
of more than 50 different niche categories that the
respondents showed interest in paying for information.
Now Ken would have my butt if I jumped the gun and gave you
too much information about this very confential research,
but it is safe to say most of the BIG NAME marketers on this
call were blown away by some of the areas of interest.
In fact, given a first look at the results, I would bet that
ANYONE could pick at least one category and match it RIGHT
NOW with their skills, experiences and passions and have
80% of the content for an information product already in
their head.
If anyone ever doubted that non-marketing topics were in
demand, this study will certainly change your views.
To give you a sense for the findings...here were a few of
the niches that showed up strong: Read More Here

So You Want To Live The Ultimate Writer's Lifestyle..What's Next?
Admit it, you've dreamt about getting up late at home,
enjoying the view, smelling the waft of bacon coming up
from the kitchen, hammering out some writing before
you even get dressed, and be free for the rest of the
day to do what you want.
No office politics, incompetent managers spreading the
insanity into your little world.
No insane drivers that somehow figure that racing you
500 feet to the next stop light somehow is a major victory
for them each day.
Forget the control your mail has over your mood when you
get hit with a truckload of new bills that all need paying,
how the heck do you get ahead anyway?
If only you could write for a living - what an incredibly
liberating and happy life it would be.
And yes, it really can be.
But for 99% of writers, its NOT.
Somehow the dream falls flat though when you try and
figure out how to get from your job to getting paid
the $500 per day you would need to make $100,000 a
year and still enjoy life.
Here are a few choices you could follow - see if you can pick
the best one for you... Read More Here...

$1036 in 12-hours From Writing A Single Article
Would it be worth it to master a technique that places
the power of generating a flood of consistent, highly
targeted and rabid traffic squarely in your hands?
As an online marketing professional, your time is valuable,
and you need to focus on what works, that's exactly why
this technique is so powerful.
To be truthful, the $1036 in 12-hours is an accomplishment
I can happily say is not abnormal these days - what is nice
about this example is that it was a Sunday (typically my
slowest day for sales) while I was gone the entire day to
a local festival here in my hometown of Ottawa, Canada.
Let me say, I do tend to still work for a few hours on the
weekends, but this Sunday, I didn't even check my mail until
the kids were fast asleep at 8:30 PM, exhausted by a combination
of rides, music, jugglers, magicians and an unending diet
of junk food - ahhhh...summer!
My inbox was filled with orders for my own products and over
$500 in affiliate sales - after about an hour of answering
my mail, I decided on an early rest and hit the sack.
Today, I decided to check my statistics to find out where the
sales came from (tracking really IS important), only to find...

The Forgotten Niche Marketing Success Secret
Despite all the hype and information on niche marketing,
are you still scratching your head about how to put more
money in your pocket?
Niche Marketing Won't Work Without Doing This
It's an easy mistake to make, and it can cost you tens,
even hundreds of thousands of dollars - and its likely
to happen to your niche marketing camapaign.
Let me ask you, when you consider a niche market, what
do you look for?
You probably look to see if there is a group of interested
individuals you can find with similar interests - right?
Good start.
Next step in niche marketing, you look for signs of demand.
You check online keyword popularity using tools like
Overture or much more accurately with Wordtracker
(http://www.highertrustmarketing.com/part/wordtracker)
You may even go one step further and check popularity of
the market or business on Ebay, top selling books on Amazon,
magazine subscriptions, and more.
Super, are you done yet?
That's not niche marketing. Those of you who have followed
my formula for creating high-demand infoproducts will know,
there is a MORE important step to niche marketing...Read the Full Article Here!

How I Painlessly Created 3 Infoproducts In 7 Days
Creating your own "How To" infoproducts to sell online may seem
like moving mountains...and to be very honest, my first
product WAS much more difficult than it had to be.
I did just about everything wrong you could think of...
1. I wrote what I wanted to, not what my market wanted to
buy.
2. I spent months agonizing over writing 200+ pages, in the
end we decided to completely re-write it, release it at 55
pages and sell it for 3X more than I first thought.
3. I was too descriptive and theoretical - people don't want
theory, they want experiences, concrete recommendations,
answers to their questions and stories.
4. It took me too long to listen to my initial reviewers and
really HEAR what they were saying - when I finally listened
it took less than a week to turn my product into something
far more valuable.
5. I didn't test my market, idea, title, product idea with my
prospective customers. When I did, I had a constant FLOOD of
input - enough to write 3 more information products that were
in INSTANT demand.
I could list a few other mistakes, but you get the idea.
The formula I now use to quickly create hot selling infoproducts
is... Read The Rest of The Article Here!

A HOT Viral Marketing Model
Here's a new spin on a contest that will quickly build your list -
it combines two common methods into a model that is ten times more
powerful than either model alone.
First, check out this contest run by Fender Guitar right here
Go ahead and enter, if you wish, and you will see that you can then
refer up to ten other people (or even many more) and if any one of
them win the contest, you get a second prize.
I immediately sent this off to ten of my friends who I knew would
be interested in winning their very own Fender Stratocaster package -with my email, that's 11 emails in just a few minutes.
They will likely do the same - and so on.
Think of using this technique in your business - all you have to do is
offer an attractive first place price with a second place prize for
the runner up. Then implement the refer a friend script that maintains
the relationship of referral so you can award the referee when you
select a winner.
What a powerful list builder!

What "Scares" An Online Millionaire More Than Anything Else?
I just arrived back from the best seminar I have ever
attended in the last 10-years.
There were more "Underground" millionaires at Yanik Silver's
"Underground" seminar than I've ever had access to at one
time ever!
Upon arrival, we had to sign Non Disclosure Agreements, and
for very good reason. These high money earners are all making
their fortunes from a wide variety of markets - but are NOT
selling products to the get rich crowd.
On the marketing side, we had Corey Rudl - the role model
that I followed to break free into doing what I love.
Corey's a millionaire many times over, his system is is
well documented over at:
http://www.infoproductcreator.com/part/secrets
Then there were the big names such as Dan Kennedy, Jim
Edwards, Phil Wiley, Rosalin Gardner and of course, Yanik
himself.
I was amazed though - these guys were actually taking notes,
buying products and networking with these other "Underground"
marketers.
After taking almost 20 pages of notes, 2 MAJOR things you
MUST know about that came directly from these millionaires...
