I'm sure you know the feeling. You've a great idea for a new article. You're sure it'll help your audience. You create it and place on a high ranked site. But, no matter how many times you look, there are only a handful of people who read it. On top of that, nobody's clicking the link.
This article is about ensuring your articles get read, and you have people clicking through from your link.
First, you must have an excellent title. It's by the title that searchers decide whether they'll read it or not. It needs to stir their interest as soon as they see it, and tells them what they'll find out by reading it. Think of articles you've decided to look at and read through. Did they have a clear message for you? Were the one's you didn't read too vague? Stand out from other articles on a site with titles so clear the reader can't resist having a look.
Second, once you have them starting to read, you need to have the first one or two sentences like another headline. You have to keep their attention at this point so they read on beyond them. If their interest suddenly falls at the beginning, you might lose them forever. They might decide not to read another article by you.
Third, when they do read on, you still have to keep them reading all through the article. Keep the information to the point but also valuable informtion they can use for themselves, preferably straight away when they've finished reading. However, don't try to tell them everything. You just can't do that in one article and it would become too heavy to read through.
Fourth, having kept their attention to the end, give them a call to action they can't resist. Give what they could read next on anther website or tell them what they can find out about on your website, or send them straight to your squeeze page, and put a link.

They Don't Want You To Know This About List Building
You've probably seen products and courses on list building. You also know that all the successful marketers have built a list, and how important it is. Those successful marketers maybe get hundreds of targeted leads a day into their list. Other marketers, trying as hard as they can, only get a handful a day. And make no money.
What's the difference between them?
First, the successful ones have squeeze pages set up so that when a visitor lands on their site at that page, they have to sign up as a subscriber in order to see the sinformation on the website. This is better than having a sign up form on every page. A squeeze page used the first way can get you sign ups of up to 80%. Of course, you have to have a solid squeeze page and a website with information people want. What number of subscribers would an 80% sign up give you?
Second, the successful list builders use their statistics. If you're only getting a few subscribers each day, it's more difficult, less efficient, than if you have hundreds a day. They take the actions to make sure that happens.
Third, to improve their statistics and their tracking, they make sure to test all their actions. So, they keep records of which traffic sources convert the highest into optins. They also know how much each subscriber has cost them from each traffic source. That way they make their subscription numbers get better and better.
Fourth, they realize their subscribers are, in effect, their business. These are the people who will buy from them, and they aim to have as many as possible buying products repeatedly. The successful list builders know how much each subscriber is worth, and know that of the average one. If each subscriber is, or should be, worth at least $1 a month, then it's well worth you paying $1 in order to get that subscriber. You should be paying less for each subscriber than the profit they generate for you.
Fifth, the successful list builders are selling a backend product on the thank you page. This may not be as strong as it was but if it works you're making profit, and helped them with a product they want, before they've even finished the subscription process.
Sixth, to be successful you have to be focused. So, focus on 1 or 2 traffic sources and be an expert in those, knowing and becoming adept at what converts them. For example, a specific squeeze page may be good for one traffic source but absolutely hopeless for another source. This is why testing, and improvement, is important. To achieve that, you have to concentrate your efforts and attention.

Do You Really Want To Fail Online?
It seems sometimes like a lot of people looking to start an online business just decide to fail instead, and before they've even got started.
Are you someone who really wants to fail?
A newcomer online looks around and sees how some rich people made their millions on the internet. They think to themselves, well if they can do it, I can too.They pay for a very expensive home study course and another expensive set of materials for online success.
The course has a lot of CDs with audio and video. The first one gives an introduction as to how things work online for businesses. The newcomer decides to skip that as too easy for them as they feel they know all that information anyway. Instead, they look through the list of titles and go for the audio "Email Copywriting For Sales".
On the way to work, they listen to it. They think it's much more convenient that way and less time wasting. They don't understand it. They've chosen this one even though they have no list or website. They have nothing online yet.
They return home that day and inform their spouse that the course is useless.
They go for the other expensive set of materials. They paid $100s, if not $1000s, for it. Again, they ignore the first part. They check on the internet for the online material. They see a mass of material together with initial instructions of what to do first with that material. At that moment, they remember that new show they wanted see on TV.
A month passes and they have to glumly pay the bill on their credit card for the courses. They haven't looked at them since first opening them.
If you are in this situation, or have been, then dig out those courses and listen, watch, read and take notes. Do it all again. Start at the beginning.
After that, plan, and take action on that plan, online.

What You Really Need To Succeed In Online Business
Seems like every day there's new information, software, or platform that wants to prove to you it has the answer to online success. A lot are about the way to start up. How to improve your website so it shoots to number 1 on Google. The best method for building your list. Ways you can get more sales. How to be a better copywriter. In fact, you could write down the words "How to.....quick and easy" and complete them with just about anything to do with internet marketing and building a business online.
There is a mass of information from short blog posts to expensive courses promising you can make an income or be rich or improve beyond your dreams online.
There is a lot of good information around if you can dig it all out, and make it connect together.
So, why are at least 95% of people not making any or very little money online?
There's certainly plenty of information.
Is it down to individual psychology?
If you ask anyone about what they want in life, they'd probably give you a clear answer: such as a big internet business, plenty of money, respect from those around them. Or whatever a particular person wants.
Now, if you look at your life, you'll see the possessions you've worked for and gained; your family and relationships; things you really wanted in your life and worked for. That is, you didn't just hope you might get them, and did nothing to do so.
Isn't your attitude to wanting an online business the same? Do you really want it, like you wanted those other things in your life? Finding or buying lots of information does nothing in itself to achieve what you want.
So, how strong is that wanting within you? Are you willing to keep failing until you get it right? Seeing that failure as a way to eliminate things that do not work, as a way to move forward?
Do you really feel a solid need to succeed at an online business, and stop, or reduce to essentials, just collecting information?

Want To Build A Big Subscriber List?
I presume you realize how important it is to build a list of subscribers.
But how can you achieve it?
You can spend some money on advertising, and, in effect, buy your way to a list. Or you can use your time (and this can be a lot) using free or cheap ways that can get results.
You might ask: which is best?
Having the money means you can save yourself a lot of time. Create as large ad campaigns as you can and get clicks by the thousand. Test everything to see what works best for the result you want, and change and improve things to get even better results.
If haven't got the money to do this, then spend the time.
So, if you have enough money, do the following:
First, do Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. Pay for keywords in ads such as Adsense. Send the traffic to your squeeze page where you can convert it into your list. This might be very fast, done right, but can be very expensive.
Second, advertise in ezines where you buy a number of ads. Again, test all you do, tracking all your ads so you can find out how many subscribers you're getting for each ad. However much you're paying for each subscriber has to be below the money you're making from your average subscriber. Yes, you'll get very targeted subscribers but it takes very careful tracking, which takes time.
If you only have the time, do the following:
1 Create useful content and put it onto high ranked and relevant websites of various kinds. Place a link so that they click through to your squeeze page. These are targeted subscribers but it takes up your time and can be very repetitive.
2 Use relevant forums in order to answer lots of questions with valuable information. Use the signature section to include your link to your squeeze page. This is a good way to build your reputation as an expert in your niche, and the traffic is quite targeted. But there is a lot of time taken up actually taking action, and it can be slow in building up traffic.

Go The Right Way About Website Traffic
When someone starts online to create a business, they often imagine all the traffic waiting on the internet ready to be sent to their website. After a while, they can see that there is plenty of traffic on the web but it's not merely sitting around until it's sent by the marketer to a sales letter or squeeze page. In any case, the issue isn't about the amount of traffic you get but how you deal with it, what the interaction is, once it arrives where you want it to.
So, turn the thinking about traffic around. Avoid the focus on sending a whole variety of traffic to your target destination, in the hope someone buys something. The key is to be able to develop a relationship with them, so you can discover what exactly it is they're looking for. Also, give them an opportunity to find out about you as a marketer. What is it you're able to help them with?
To get to this point, don't send traffic directly to a sales letter but to a squeeze page. There, they can join your list. Then you can communicate with them regularly, perhaps daily. But not making one offer after another. At first,, and all through the long term relationship with them, send them valuable information that they need and want. Ask them what they want. Let them ask you questions.
Getting the traffic.
1 Create content that gives useful information and help. Place the content on websites where your prospects might go regularly. Your content lets prospects see what quality of information you provide. They get to experience your tone, attitude, and information without any pressure of having to buy anything. They can make a choice as to whether you fit with their ideas or not.
2 Use Pay Per Click (PPC) such as Adsense. The focus here is on choosing the right keywords for your niche or product. Someone clicks and is sent straight to your destination page. It costs money. Therefore you have to able to get enough subscribers from it who then convert to customers. Some people have lost a lot of money on this method as the desperately try to get the clicks, for example, by being at the top of ads list on the search pages. If you decide to try it, keep control of your costs, know how much you're making per dollar spent, and avoid the temptation of paying more than anyone else for a keyword.
3 Advertise in ezines. Again ,this costs money. Begin with cheaper ads, usually lower down in the ezine's classified section. Test them and change them to improve them. When you're getting better click throughs you can upgrade to more expensive and better placed ads.

Making Money With Your Email Campaign
You might have been tempted to buy an email list, thinking you'll save yourself time and effort. But I should think you quickly found out it's been used by other marketers a massive amount of times already. With the result that nobody responds except to complain about how you're spamming them. Yes, you might have made a little bit of money but it's just not worth your payment or effort.
It's far better to have your own personal email list that you built up. You can contact them as you want. Built from targeted traffic, it can be highly responsive, even with a small list. Also, subscribers aren't complaining about spam.
How to build that list? Take these actions.
First, create a website which you can do easily and fast with the free Wordpress platform you get with your hosting account. Then, get an autoresponder account. On your website place a form on a page, for visitors to sign up. This page is where you send traffic, and once they've signed up their email goes into your autoresponder. You get the form to use, from your autoresponder service.
Second, have a freebie ready to offer to subscribers for signing up.
Third, from the start of your email sequence, send your subscribers only relevant and quality information. In this way you begin to create a relationship with them so that they will trust you. Make your emails good enough so that subscribers look forward to your next email each time. You want them to open emails, read the emails, and respond to them, feeling positive that they are getting a quality service.
Fourth, when you've developed a trusting enough relationship you can intersperse offers and links that make you profits, such as affiliate offers.
Fifth, keep nurturing the relationship over time. Even if it's a small list, once that relationship is created you'll make more money from offering quality products, than from a huge list which never responds or does so erratically.
