As what I’ve promised in the first part of this article series, I’ll talk more about internet marketing tools that you can use to generate more traffic to your website. As you know, this is the key to secure more leads, sales, and profit.
Article marketing. When talking about very effective traffic-generating tools, you can expect that article marketing will always come up in the discussion. This is because it’s proven to attract attention in the online arena. This is the process of writing and distributing short, keyword-rich articles to directories, blogs, and ezines. The goal here is build links for one’s website, to establish expertise in one’s niche, to create product awareness, to secure stronger online presence, and to pull up the site’s page ranking.

Ebook distribution. Years of doing internet marketing have taught me one thing; you can easily get people to pay attention to what you’re saying if you give them something for free. So, make time to create short but very informative ebooks. Then, offer them as freebies to entice more people to sign up to your list. You can also use these as your ultimate viral marketing tools. Just instruct your recipients to forward your eBook to all the people they know.…
When it comes to making money on the internet, you should know that one of the best kinds of products that you can sell is “information products”.
