What Are the Secrets of Turning Your Website Traffic Into Sales?

When it comes to having an online business, there is one thing that is absolutely critical to your success.

Traffic.

No Traffic = No Money = No Business

And while there are plenty of ways to drive traffic to your website, when you're just getting started online, you need an easy, predictable method for getting visitors that wont' break the bank.

For example, pay per click advertising, like Google AdWords, can send you more traffic than you can handle, but it tends to be extremely expensive especially for someone just getting started with a home based business.

Instead, I recommend that all new online business owners start by using article marketing to drive traffic to their websites.

And to make it drop dead simple for you, I'm going to hand you a super simple, yet effective plan for you to follow.

So, are you ready to get some more traffic?

Great.

Here's all you need to do, and it's easy, but you need to do it every day, okay?

Each and every day for the next 30 days, I want you to write an article. What are you going to write about? Topics related to your website, of course.

Now you're going to take that article and post it on your blog (you have a blog, right? If not, kindly get out a newspaper, roll it up, whack yourself over the head and repeat until you put a blog on your website.).

The next day take that same article and rewrite the first 3-4 paragraphs. You can rewrite the whole thing if you want, but the first 3-4 paragraphs will be sufficient. Now take your rewritten version and submit it to your favorite article directory (I recommend EzineArticles, but if you've got one you like better, then by all means, go ahead).

At the end of your article, be sure to include two links back to your website.

Do this for 30 days. You write one article a day and put it on your blog and you take the article from the day before and submit it to a popular article directory.

I know it doesn't sound as sexy as using automated software to put your content on thousands of websites across the Internet, but here's the thing - it works. And it's easy enough to understand that anybody can do it.
