How Can You Make a Living On the Internet with Article Marketing?

Article marketing helped us double our Christmas sales this year at Fun Cool Collectibles. Article writing also helped us double our traffic as the 2008 Christmas season ended. I am now an advid believer in article marketing.
We have been selling on the Internet for over eight years now, and have searched for effective ways to market our businesses. Believe me, most of it has all been trial and error. The reason I didn't really use article marketing sooner, is that it seemed too easy, but this last year has made me a believer. When our traffic and sales doubled at Fun Cool Collectibles, and my main blog Marketing Online Business, I am now getting up earlier, drinking more coffee and writing articles before I start working on store business.
.
Wnen you are starting a business on the internet, you want to use your free cash or lack of cash for purchasing merchandise, so article marketing is imperative. It involves using very little cash, but it is labor intensive. So, polish up on your writing, and get up in the wee hours in the morning and work on getting all that free traffic from article marketing.
Did I see you shudder at the thought of article writing early in the morning? You haven't written anything since you left high school or college. Well hire some one to do your writing. There are individuals out there who can sit at a computer all day and write. Really, you can use your time more productively marketing your program, and hiring someone to do your writing.
I hire myself out at Marketing Online Business for article writing, and you can check my rates for article writing.

Get Up Early and Start Your Article Writing for Traffic 

Write like a nut and watch the avalanche of traffic

Article writing is the key to bum or article marketing. You will want to write as many different articles as you can. This is why you will want to get up early in the morning, and start your writing. While it would be nice to be able to write 5 to 10 different articles a day, I am lucky if I can do this. This is still my goal. The more articles with different keywords and different slants that you can write the better. If you could write 5 to 10 well written articles a day, you would have 150 to 300 articles in a month! This would generate a lot of free targeted traffic to your website!
You would also have a good number of backlinks to your website. This would help you with Page Rank in Google and increase your website's ranking in searches, therefore increasing your free traffic. It would be an avalanche of free traffic to your website

I read a Free ebook on how to make money 

Zero Dollars with a little talent and 30 days

This is an excellent ebook, and it is free and you can get it at 30 days to Make Money on the internet! It describes how a SEO specialist could make money on the internet in 30 days. It explained how she used the forums she belonged to - this is important! She does not spam forums like so many uncouth marketers do. She has been a member for several years, and knows many of the people that belong to these forums.
She explains how to make Press releases work for you. This is important, because many press releases are what the press use as news!
The blog was her main source of marketing, she does this very effectively. She uses online contacts to link to her blog. I cannot remember the number of views her site was getting, but I think that it was around 500 a day! Anyone of us would love to get this number of views. This is an incredible ebook, and it is really worth downloading

Start selling on Ecrater 

A great ecommerce site - and it is free

We opened a store in June 25th, and we had our first sale in the first week of July at FunCoolCollectibles, and we have been selling ever since. This is a great little site, and it is free! We have paid for several other stores - and have eeked out a sale or two a month, but with ecrater it has been different. They do alot for you, like submit the website to froogle on a regular basis. If you are serious at making money on the internet, you will have to check out this site. Making money on the web was never so easy.
Of course you will still have to apply the other techniques that I will be covering with this lens - such as seo, website design, etc., so make a point of coming back every day for new advice.

Bum Marketing and Google Juice 

Let's go where the Juice is!

Free Classifieds

While I was reading articles about Bum Marketing and Google Juice I came across the site USFreeADs.com - this is an excellent website for selling products whether it is ecommerce or affiliate marketing. This site is "google juice" as google loves this site, and frankly so do I. We had a pair of shoes up for one day - 24 hours and the shoes had 17 views! This equals the number of views in any one day at Ebay! Actually, the Catalog is a basic default ebay store setup! All for only 9.99 a month without any listing fees or final fees involved! What an incredible deal! I tell you it pays to read and to read and to read. There is alot of valuable information out there if you do alot of reading!
Apparently, these ads will be in Googles system within the next few days or the next couple of weeks at the latest! I was reading about Bum Marketing and I came across this site several times. I said, Ok, I will try it. They have a three day free trial for their premium membership (which is a measly 9.99 a month). So, I put up four items from our Fun Cool Collectibles Store, and was totally impressed as a pair of TUK shoes received over 20 views within 24 hours! The pair of shoes was listed in Google within 24 hours! Talk about Google Juice - UsFreeAds.com is juiced to the bone! I have spent the last few days listing stuff over at UsFreeAds. I have also been listing my Amazon stuff. I like the layout of their Product catalog - it is similar to the Ebay Store Layout! this is very nice! The traffic at UsFreeAds.com is quite impressive, and they are very active. It will also help your with your backward links, and your page rank. .

Use Your Tags for Optimum traffic to your website 

Squidoo Lenses are used to get traffic to our website.

I am currently optimizing a website for traffic to our FunCoolCollectibles.info store. I was playing around at Site Submit with keyword search tool when I thought I would check out keywords for my squidoo lens. I did not realize when I first put up my lens that I could use more tags, but you can. I used the keyword phrases that sitesubmit.ca generated from a keyword search and doubled the number of keywords for my lens (I currently have 3) I will probably add 4 or 5 more keywords/phrases per day over the next few days. I would suggest that everybody maximize their lenses search engine exposure by utilizing a good keyword search and adding the best keywords to their tags.

Marketing Mix for the Retailer 

Selling on Auctions and use Ecrater

Make selling on auctions and Ecrater a part of your marketing mix. This will help you to sell more product on the internet, and that is the name of the game! Getting more product exposure. Many of the items - close to 40% - that we have sold on auctions have gone to International customers. If we had a just a brick and mortar store this would have been impossible. Some of the products that we sell at Ecrater also go internationally. We would never have this much sales if we were just a brick and mortar in the middle of New York! Selling on auctions and Ecrater have added another dimension to our marketing mix! We ship Internationally, so our sales are quite good!

Do You Need a Website? You Bet. 

Do you need a website. I believe that you do, domain names are incredibly cheap - you can get an .info domain name for $2.99 from Godaddy and get hosting at Godaddy for 3.99 per month! I can remember when domain names were $16 and the cheapest hosting was $14.00 a month. All of these have decreased incredibly over the past couple of years. We have hosting at Godaddy for 6.99 a month and we can host as many domain names as we want! I have purchased many .info domain names for 2.99 and put them up as blogs over at blogspot and I have a domain name pointed to other our FunCoolCollectibles.info pointed to our Ecrater Store, I have Halloweenpartyideas.info pointed to one webpage about Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise that we sell! This webpage is optimized for Nightmare before Christmas - and this is a keyword phrase that is well searched term on search engines. While many people think that the only good domain name is an .com, this is not true - .info is a high level domain name - it was one of the original four and it is as good as any other. Besides, it is how you market it and optimize it that counts!
Every business person requires Business books and Organizers! Oh, yeah, and of course cell phones, but I will not be dealing with that right now! Check out this Estore!

Marketing Off line 

Your spending time and money on offline Marketing

While you spend a good amount of time with online marketing, you should also spend some time on offline marketing. A good portion of the population have access to the internet either at home or work. We leave business cards and leaflets laying around in malls, parks, rock concerts, etc.. We also pass out our business cards to people that we meet during casual conversation. We have gotten sales from these simple little interactions.

Selling Online is More Energy than Money 

Marketing online is more about energy than money. It takes time and effort to get people to your website. Energy in Social Networking is the key.
Many of the old principles of good old fashion selling are important. Getting out there and convincing people to visit your website. It always comes down to convincing people that they will gain a benefit from visiting your site. You will have to put yourself into the other person's shoes, and imagine what benefit they will derive from visiting your site. Who will benefit from what you have to offer? What benefits will they receive? Will they return to your site? etc, etc.

When you are selling on the Internet, you will basically have to employ bum marketing. You will have to use social networking, USFreeAds, and article writing for basic selling.
