Two Steps to an Investment-Free Online Empire
If you're like most of us, you're not on a budget that allows you to spend massive amounts of money on advertising for your Internet marketing campaign. With that in mind, let me show you a fairly simple two-step formula for profiting online with little or no investment. How much does it cost you to write an informative Internet marketing article? The only cost is a little time, but essentially it's free. The key is to write as many articles as possible, not just one or two. After you've written a number of articles, go ahead and submit these to the top twenty article directories, as well as the top twenty ezine article directories. Be sure to follow their submission guidelines. I recommend you format your sentences at no more than 60 characters per line to meet the requirements of these different directories. At the end of each of your articles you will include a resource box that entices your readers to click through to, not your website, but your free blog! Remember how I told you this method would be investment-free? For a general idea of what a resource box looks like, take a look at mine at the end of this article. Offer readers a benefit for clicking through to your blog, and they most assuredly will. You can create a blog in minutes by going to blogger.com. Then continue to do what you've been doing already; keep writing articles. Devote half of your time to writing articles for submission, and half of your time to creating quality content for your blog. On the side of your blog, create links to the five to seven best products that offer affiliate programs that you are signed up for. Include them under a heading that is most appropriate for your topic. Include "sleeper links" to merchant sites that you can earn affiliate commission from. Don't create blog entries that are nothing more than product pitches. Make your blog entries informative, and tie in subtle endorsements to products that help to meet their needs. For example, read the sentence a couple of paragraphs above where I told you that you could "create a blog in minutes by going to blogger.com". Simple, isn't it? As a general rule, don't include affiliate links in more than 30-40% of your blog entries. If you do, your visitor will feel like you're trying to constantly sell them. Besides, if your blog entries are information-rich and informative, they will keep reading and eventually run into one or more of your affiliate links anyway! Chances are that they will likely click on one of your affiliate links located on the side of your blog page as well. While you will eventually want to get your own website, if you are on a shoestring budget, this is the best method that I am aware of for profiting without spending a dime, or selling your own product. By creating quality content on a regular basis, repeat visits are virtual guaranteed, and the more articles you submit, the higher your affiliate commission will be! **Attn Ezine editors/Site owners** Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave all links in place, do not modify the content and include our resource box as listed below. Feel free to substitute your referral link in place of ours in the resource box. Thanks!
