Article Marketing - Why I Use Article Marketing for My List Building

Article marketing is one of the most effective methods of lead generation and list building that I have found online. I have tried many different types of lead generation and traffic sources, including web directory submission, purchased traffic, safelist submission, advertising, PPC advertising, classified advertising, and many other methods of advertising and traffic generation.

I actually stumbled on article marketing as a form of lead generation. I originally intended to use article marketing to create top ten search engine rankings (google: 'christian time management' or 'christian success'), but found that in addition, and more importantly to me, I was getting direct traffic from the actual articles that I wrote, and that that traffic was very responsive and converted well into sales.

What I found was that if I wrote articles and sent them in to the highest -traffic article directories, that I would receive high levels of high-quality traffic. This was a surprise to me, but I immediately began to capitalize on it.

So how do I do it?

1) Write articles about topics related to my web pages.

2) Create a squeeze page to send the traffic to.

3) Put a link to my squeeze page(s) in the articles.

4) Send the articles to the big article directories online.

5) Repeat the above process.

That last step, repeating, is really important. Do you want massive traffic? You must take massive action.
