Never Call Your Friends and Relatives Again

For all of you who have been told that creating wealth through network marketing begins with writing out a list of your friends and relatives, there?s hope. I am here to tell you there is a better way!

It?s called Permission Marketing.

Permission Marketing means that the only people you have to put on your list are people who have asked to be on that list. From now on, your list need only consist of people who opt into receiving your emails and telephone calls because they want information about how you can help them create wealth.

Seth Godin, who literally wrote the book called Permission Marketing, contrasts permission marketing to what he calls, ?interruption marketing.? When a network marketer calls a long lost neighbor, who moved away five years ago, to invite her to an opportunity meeting, that?s interruption marketing.

And when a complete stranger approaches you in a public place and says, ?you would be great in my business,? that?s also interruption marketing.

Interruption marketing intrudes. Interruption marketing invades. Interruption marketing does not establish a relationship prior to blurting out a sales or opportunity message.

But when you see a classified ad with a 24 hour recorded message that will show you how to replace a job you hate and a boss you loath, that is permission marketing.

When you submit your email address to a website that offers to help you spend more time with your family, that is permission marketing.

And when you request a free ebook that offers to help a single mother stay home with her babies, that also is permission marketing.

Permission marketing offers a real benefit, right now, to opt onto an email list, leave your telephone number on a voice mail system or subscribe to an email newsletter. Permission marketing also allows you to opt out of that same list if you decide it just isn?t for you.

I am not saying you cannot talk to your friends and relatives, sometimes you already know if they are looking for a way out of the rut (translation: “job”)they are in. But here?s my promise to you: Once you master permission marketing, you will be able to create wealth faster and build your network marketing organization bigger than any of those folks who told you to begin by calling through a list of your friends and neighbors.

You don’t have to embarrass yourself, you don’t have to risk relationships, and you don’t have to feel like a lazy failure if you don’t write out a list of 200 people you know. There are many, many people who are looking for a way to change their lives with what you have to offer. All you need to do is set up the procedures to let them find you.

Content Is King For Targeted Website Traffic

Targeted website traffic is the life blood of your website. Without it you may as well not even bother building a site. This is not said with the intention of discouraging anyone. After all, what can be greater than earning a lively income from an at home internet business. However, it can be a painful exercise in both time and dollars if you are not tuned in to the importance of building targeted website traffic.

Targeted website traffic through article writing is a technique based on how to promote your online business even if you’re a newbie, without having to offer your first born as a matter of payment.

This method has proven successful and is highly recommended by others. The ideal length of your articles should be between 500 to 750 words. There are many article submission sites, the cost of which, are free. Article submission sites are looking for high quality content to add to their pages.

There are other ways to attract visitors through targeted website traffic in order to sell products. To wit: Join relevant forums and make sure to include a sig file with each submission. Find websites that provide free classified ads. Explore the use of Google Adwords, Adsense or pay per click methods, but be careful, this can get costly if you don’t know what you’re doing. Others will bring in traffic through the use of publishing their own ezine or purchasing ads from others ezines. One of the newest methods to bring in traffic is through the use of blogging.

Now, before we continue with the process of article writing to bring in targeted website traffic let’s assume you already own or are building a website. Let’s also assume you are familiar with the importance of writing good content, a very important ingredient to the success of your sight. If you know your topic well, you will find it easy and enjoyable to write quality subject material.

After having written twenty, thirty or more quality pages for your site you will see the search engines begin to spider your content. As Google, MSN, Yahoo, Jeeves etc. apply ratings to your articles, you will receive targeted website traffic to your site. Getting this traffic can take some time as the search engines are continually changing their algorithms for rating content. This is a way of protecting themselves from the all invasive SEO manipulators.

However, the more quality content you add to your pages, the more the search engines will spider you. This will speed up the process of getting visitors to your website. Performing this exercise has another benefit to bring you more targeted website traffic at a decidedly quicker pace.

This, as previously mentioned, is in the form of article writing, a fast and easy way to get people to visit your website. There are many article submission sites, easy to find through the search engines.

When you submit an article, you are able to add a link at the bottom of the page that clicks back to your site. The advantage of this method is, since you have already written lots of quality content for your website, you can probably use some or many of your ideas to submit to articles sites. In this way you can kill two birds with one stone. The result: a significant increase in targeted website traffic from both the search engines and your articles.

Furthermore, there are a significant number of ezine publishers and webmasters who are always looking for quality material to add to their sites. If you establish a reputation as a good writer and become recognized, your article can be used by any publisher interested in your work. Imagine 10 or 20 publishers adding your articles to their sites This can quickly add up to increased traffic.

By making your articles available to other sites, you can greatly increase the number of links pointing to you. In fact, it is extremely easy to get at least 20 new links via each article that you produce. This can be a conservative estimate because in many cases you will end up with hundreds of new links bringing you lots of targeted website traffic

Of all these methods, it seems to me, article writing is the best way to go. Not only will it build traffic fast but will also allow you to use content you’ve already created for your web site. Getting started is the hardest part of writing articles. However you will have a distinct advantage having already written so much quality content for your own website.

Good luck with your online targeted website traffic endeavor. Keep in mind, like anything else, writing articles will get easier the more you work at it.
