Attract People To Your Website Without Using Money - The Key To Article Marketing And Attracting Business For Free!

By Tracey Dornelles

When I started getting into this world of online marketing I was so overwhelmed I became bogged down with INFORMATION OVERLOAD.

You sign up for my free marketing lessons here and there and BANG! You're bombarded with all this stuff. Here, look at this video! Here, download this blueprint! and then buy all my stuff! Arrrrgggghhh!

I had just started with a really great company, but without all the advertising dollars to get started I almost gave up without even trying.

But I stuck it out and decided to sift through all the info to separate any credible stuff from the crap.

So your main target is to drive traffic to your website. You want visitors to find your main page, scroll and read all the way to the bottom and then give you something, whether it be some personal details or to purchase your product.

My website is for a business opportunity, so I ideally want people to leave their details so I can follow up with a phone call and email.

But how do I do that without wasting lots of money on Google Adwords or expensive niche advertising? Especially at the beginning, I didnt have much cash-flow, but I did have some time on my hands. Many new marketers think they have to spend money to make money. But think about what youre doing RIGHT NOW! Youre reading my article!

Im no wordsmith and this is hardly a literary masterpiece " but Im getting the point across right? ARTICLE MARKETING is a silent weapon and best of all its FREE!

So why Article Marketing? Basically it gets your website link out amongst the online world and also helps boost your Google rankings.

Writing lots of articles especially at the beginning really is the key. I started writing about 3-5 per week and then just once a week or even once a fortnight. You can write as many as you like.

Another thing to note is to write about things that are related to what you're trying to market. My opportunity is a home business, so hopefully I can attract people looking to run a flexible home business using all the different tools I teach. You can see I'm interested in internet marketing and would possibly be a great mentor to team up with.

And lastly .... KISS "Keep It Simple Stupid!" An old mentor said this to me one day and it doesn't matter what industry you're in it always applies and it definitely applies to the world of online marketing. Have fun and start writing!
