Traffic Thursdays: Sales from Articles : Part Five – The Resoure Box

The Resource Box ties this all together.

When you read an article online, at the bottom you’ll find a few lines about the author. Here’s the goldmine, and the reason people give away free information.

You have normally five lines to share your link, brand yourself, talk a bit about your site or products and deliver a disguised sales pitch – which is the invitation to come to your site.

In this area, I link to include my email subscribe link, my feed link if there is enough room, and the link to the landing page I created for this article if there isn’t. I also include a wacky saying about myself (that’s how I brand myself as the crazy free traffic chick) or the statement that will pique curiosity and make them beat a trail to my stie.

For your own purposes with this model, here’s what you should include, in third person.

1 – A teaser that talks about the additional information on the topic, which will lead to your sales page
2 – The link to the landing page that provides this information.

To make this work best, turn it into a question or statement that you don’t answer in the article. Using our earlier example, you can say “Read part two of this article and find out how I get other people to pay for my Britney Spears poster”.Or you can say “Can you guess how I will take over the world with a simple Britney Spears poster?”

Then leave the link to the landing page.

And we’re done.

Here are some places to submit your article:

I’m really tired, so Freedom Fridays will probably be on Saturday. I’m really, really trying to take the doctor’s advice on taking it easy… so far I’m about 70% compliant. I may have some extras for you instead, depends on my score tomorrow…..
