Free Website Traffic For Your New Aromatherapy Venture, Year After Year
If you're in need of low cost methods to generate customers for your new complementary therapy business, particularly if it has an online shopping cart, the ideal way is Article Marketing because it's free and the traffic keeps coming, month after month, from each piece of work. So if you are looking for product launch ideas read on.
Article Marketing isn't an instant way to get started online, but it's a low-cost, risk-free strategy anyone can adopt. First let's compare it with some different ways to get Internet visitors. Let's take the example of promoting a new shopping cart.
The usual way of getting prospects to your new site, taught by some on-line marketing training, is to contact other website owners asking for a link exchange. This can be successful, but it's a slow process and you need to take care who you target. For instance, if I sell dog collars by post I may be happy to do a link exchange with someone who runs dog training classes, but not someone who is promoting dog collars.
Another method is posting on forums in your niche, with your URL in your signature. Also effective, but time-consuming.
In theory a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaign is fast to set up and you could see leads within an hour. In practice unless you're experienced at these campaigns, you can spend ages testing for the best settings and exhaust your budget without making a single sale. I did! And being cynical , I often wondered how many clicks were by my competitors, to use up my funds!
Other online strategies include FFA (Free For All) sites and traffic exchanges where you view other people's sites, in return for them viewing yours. This strikes me as a waste of time. I am trying to sell, not buy, so why sit heedless, clicking on other people's websites so that they will sit bored to death clicking on my site? They probably never even look at my advert. With tabbed browsers the temptation is just to open the next tab to click on the advert, never reading the adverts.
These strategies are time-consuming and ineffective for a serious product launch.
Offline promotional methods include networking to exchange cards at business clubs. Time-consuming, costly and again in general, people are there to sell, not to buy.
In contrast, article marketing targets people who have implied that they are interested in the topic your website targets. Choose the correct keywords and readers will be actively intending to buy, not sell.
The idea of article marketing is that you draft an article and submit it, with your website details, to article directories from which publishers can download content for blogs etc so long as they include your website details with your article. Then when interested parties read your article, they can click onto your website.
The article you have produced in an hour or so stays (theoretically) online forever and you can receive focused traffic from it in perpetuity.
For instance, I submitted an article in October 2005 and 4 years later it is still generating traffic, with no extra work, and had received 28,897 lifetime views, with 5,961 clicks through to my website. How much would that have cost by PPC? Another advantage is that the best article directories send you a report showing the keywords on which your article is being found.
In my opinion article marketing has so many advantages over alternative methods that I cannot think of any reason why it would not be one of your marketing strategies.
Much of my success with article marketing was learned through trial and error. With a little free, or low cost, training I would have seen rewards much earlier.
Article Writing Is A Major Part Of Any Online Marketing Website Many times when I am communicating with other marketers and I bring up the subject of article writing, I'll get a response like "I'd rather have a root canal, than write!" Article writing doesn't have to be this hard, follow these guidlines, and you'll write articles that get more readers!
