How To Master Article Writing To Get More Traffic

If you are starving for traffic, can't seem to consistently draw thousands of visitors to your website each day and struggle to get them to buy when they get there - you can benefit from this technique.

For several months now I've consistently written and submitted at least 2 articles each week.

The articles are NOT the crappy 300 word articles loaded with keywords with very little added value for human readers, but articles in the 500-800 word range that follow a very specific formula.

Here's how to write 2 articles each week in less than 60-minutes.

Step 1. Find One Compelling Problem Within Your Market

How do you find these? You can pull from your own experience, what problems did you tackle this week that you could share with others? Check the last few days of questions on forums related to your topic - these forums are a real idea bank. Survey your subscribers and customers to find out what they are struggling with - this should give you enough articles for an entire month if you ask the right questions. The key point is that you want to identify one, very specific, high demand issue per article.

Too many people ramble on, try to address multiple issues or just want to tell a story -- that's a writing hobby, not a business.

Step 2. Work On a Riveting Title

Focus on capturing your audiences attention, pumping up their interest, even border on contoversial. Relate your topic to a hot current event. I wrote an article several months ago about leadership traits of Walt Disney that related to building your infoproduct business. That article has pulled in several thousand visitors on its own and still attracts huge search engine traffic to this day.

Step 3. Start By Presenting The Challenge

You know and your reader knows the challenge you are trying to solve - but you want to use the first paragraph to really re-create the "feeling" of having the problem in the reader's head. You are setting them up to really look forward to the rest of your article - where you will solve their problem.

Step 4. Offer A Simple, Effective Solution Linked To Your Website

What separates super-charged, traffic generating articles from those that disappear into the ether? You need to offer your readers hope by outlining a simple, fast solution to their challenge while NOT giving away all of the methods behind HOW to achieve the solution. You want to convince the reader that YOU can solve their problem, all the while giving them the impression that there is more, so much more, that they could still find by clicking on a link to your website, opt-in or other follow-up system.

Be consistent. Once you complete your articles, send them out to distribution directories, build private publisher lists, and post them to your articles directory on your website - even post them to your blog, if you have one.

Finally, generating a massive stampede of traffic to your website is possible for anyone - the trick is spending your limited time on the right activities and methods.
