Practical Article Marketing Tips

Discover the Power of Traffic Driving Articles

Got 20–30 minutes a day?

Thanks for dropping by. I’m glad you’re here!

I’ve got a few questions for you about getting the traffic you want and deserve with Content Marketing.

Do you need more traffic to your website?

Do you really want it bad?

Are you willing to invest 20-30 minutes or less a day?

Can you come up with 300 or more intelligent words about your niche on a regular basis?

If the answers to the above questions are yes, then I’d like to show you how to create endless waves of traffic with your articles.

Just 3 steps

Sometimes I hear that I make things sound so easy and it really can’t be that easy to do. Yes, it is and yes it can. Really, I could make it more complicated and hard for you, but why?

Step 1: Craft a great quality article on a regular basis

I recommend an article a day because “an article a day keeps recession away.” It’s very doable. If you are not ready to do an article a day, just make sure you get on some kind of regular writing schedule to reap the full traffic benefits of Content Marketing.

Step 2: Publish your article on Medium.com

When you submit your articles to Medium you get two immediate traffic benefits:

1) You get in front of all the traffic coming into the Medium

2) Join the Medium Partner Program and get paid for the amount of time your reader spends on your article.

Step 3: Rinse and repeat

Do this over and over again on a consistent basis and you will love the traffic that you could not stop if you wanted to, and you won’t want to.

This process gets you three kinds of traffic :

Immediate traffic comes when one of your articles is published, especially on publications like Illumination.

Regular traffic comes as you continue to add articles and each article continues to work for you. It’s a growing compound effect.

Long-term traffic comes because each article is evergreen, working for you 24 hours a day all over the world, never asking for a raise or calling in sick.
