Big Profit Article Marketing Lou Diamond Editor

Dear Fellow Internet Marketer,It’s no secret that the key to making money on the Internet is traffic. The more traffic you can drive, the more money you will make. It’s a simple equation.When it comes to finding that traffic though, there are many different ways to find the people you need. If you’ve been selling online for any matter of time, this doesn’t come as a surprise.You probably know that some methods can be very effective, but those methods normally can be more expensive than they are worth.If you are looking for huge sources of free traffic, most people will tell you that they are as mythical as dragons, leprechauns and the loch ness monster.But there are ways to drive tons of traffic for free. Not only that, but there are ways to drive tons of product hungry traffic who’re ready to buy immediately that won’t cost you anything more than a little bit of time and effort.The most effective ways of these free ways to drive traffic is to write and publish articles to different article hubs.Sounds odd, right? Most people would never guess that the arcane act of writing an article could produce such a profitable response in these high tech times. But it works. I can tell you first hand how well it works…I started out as an Internet marketer working by building affiliate websites. I did the normal ClickBank thing…I’d find a product that I thought would convert well, built a website around it and starting driving as much traffic as I could.Try to guess what happened…Yeah, nothing. Not one single person came to buy from me. I was disappointed but I wasn’t ready to give up, not by a long shot.I thought maybe it was the particular product I chose. So I took not just one more product, but five. I figured the more products I sold, the better source of statistics I’d find. I won’t ask you what happened next, because there’s no mystery in it. Again, no one came and no one bought.But still, I wouldn’t be discouraged.I thought that the problem was with the affiliate products, so I switched things around and started creating my own unique products. It took more time to create, but I thought the results would pay for the added effort.I wasted countless days, weeks and even months doing things for myself and at the end of the process, nada. I made barely enough to cover the URL fees. I worked hard and had nothing to show for it. I had less than nothing to show for it. What’s less than nothing…a canyon? a deficit? a black hole? A gapping hole in my bank account where money used to be? Yeah, that’s what I had. I’d love to say that I was still determined to succeed, but after all this time with poor results my spirits were crushed and I was ready to give up.I needed to do something to make a quick buck so I answered an ad online to write articles for an online magazine.I always thought of myself as a strong writer, so I figured it would be an easy way to pay some bills. I imagined myself writing beautiful articles that would garner a following of dedicated readers who would gobble up everything I wrote.When I finally submitted my first series of articles, I asked my editor where I could read and how I could show my friends what I’d done. My editor told me he didn’t know yet, but that they’d probably be on bunch of different article exchanges.I was confused. I’d never heard of an article exchange before and I asked him to explain the concept to me. What he told me blew my mind.He told me that he posted the articles to establish himself as an authority on specific topics. He then used that power to drive traffic to his websites.I couldn’t believe what he was saying. He was describing to me how much traffic he got from the articles and how much money he made from this traffic. As he was talking, all I could think was how quickly I needed to off the phone so I could start using this power for myself. Finally he hung up and I jumped back onto my computer and started writing articles for myself.I picked one of my sites and tried to my best to write articles to drive traffic to it. I wasn’t really keen on spending another huge chunk of my time working on a failed project, but I was excited to see if this attempt would succeed.I wrote a dozen articles and spread them out all to different article exchanges throughout the Internet like my editor explained to me. Low and behold, traffic started coming to my site.The traffic that was coming was great, I could barely contain my excitement. But when I started receiving emails saying that I was making sales, my eyes lit up like a freaken Christmas tree.That night, I couldn’t
