Article Marketing + Twitter = Endless Waves of Traffic – Visitors & Viewers (AM + T = ET)

By Jeff Herring

Article Marketing is one of the very best ways to bring endless waves of traffic and visitors to your websites and blogs. Add Twitter to the mix and you have an extremely powerful traffic generation system for free.

I could not stop the traffic and visitors coming to my websites and blogs even if I wanted to, and I sure don’t want to.

AM + T = ET

AM + T = ET stands for Article Marketing plus Twitter equals Endless waves of Traffic and viewers. Here’s how you do it:

1. Auto-Tweet Your EzineArticles Submissions – Set up your free account to automatically send a message to Twitter each time a new article is published. Each time you have a new article published an auto-tweet will go out to your followers announcing your new article.

This is great, but don’t stop there…

2. Follow up the Auto-Tweet – As in all areas of business, your fortune and future here is in the follow up. Don’t just rely on the auto-tweet to announce your articles. Direct your followers to your articles yourself. You can say something like this – “For 3 tips on how to… check out” and then give the URL of your article.

3. Other will “Re-Tweet” Your Article – Part of being social on Twitter is “re-tweeting” (RT) messages you like and want other people to see. Many people will do this for you without being asked. How do you get other people to RT for you? Ask them, and return the favor with their tweets.

4. Direct to Opt-In Page – You can also invite your Twitter followers to go directly to the opt-in page that you normally send people to from the Resource Box in your articles. What’s that you say? You don’t send people from your Resource Box to an opt-in page? We need to talk!

Here’s how you do it – “Get free instant access to…” whatever it is you are giving them in exchange for their email address.

And when you follow these tips you will drive endless waves of traffic and visitors your way with Article Marketing and Twitter.

Why You Don’t Need to Increase Web Traffic to Your Website or Blog

You don’t need more traffic to your website or blog…UNLESS you have a way to convert your traffic (well okay, more than one way – but let’s just start with this one).

Coaches, you are wasting your time building a beautiful website and posting regularly on your blog unless you capture some information about your visitor.

Not everyone that comes to your website will come back. It takes a lot of work with link building, SEO, social networking, writing and publishing articles – that’s a big investment of time and money just to get people to click through from your search engine listing or an article to show up at your site.

But, what if when they get to your site they say to themselves, “You know, someday I should hire a coach to help me with…” and then they leave to search for their favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe or how to get rid of fleas on their dog. That visitor may never, ever visit your website again. All that work and NOTHING happened that will benefit you and your coaching business. What a horrid waste of time and effort!

I don’t care how much site traffic you’re getting to your website and blog – it’s a pitiful waste if you’re not giving your website visitors a way to stay connected with you and your coaching message.

In fact, did you know that you could actually eliminate everything on your website – yes, even your blog – and reduce it to one single page about how your coaching message will solve the visitors biggest problems and meet their most demanding needs. One single page of compelling copy about what your coaching message will do for your visitor and a simple invitation…and perhaps a gift…if the visitor would like to know more or stay connected with you.

That one single page and invitation to connect is THE most important part of your website and blog.

Now, don’t get me wrong I am not saying you should get rid of your website or blog (but I do think you would be served just as well by combining the two). It’s just that your invitation to connect with your visitor is so important that it could stand alone without the rest of your wonderful information – yet I have lost count of the number of websites that I visit that have no invitation and incentive to connect.

Let me further clarify that I am NOT talking about simply connecting on Twitter or Facebook - although I think you should do that as well.

Let me show you what I am talking about. Do you see that “Free eCourse” sign up in my sidebar? That’s my invitation to stay connected with me and my coaching message.  

If  I’ve done my job and attracted you  – if you’re a coach, speaker and author who wants to take your message to an International Marketplace and you would like to get a basic overview of what to do to make that happen – then please accept my invitation to stay connected. We’ll start with a 6 week eCourse of information you can use immediately.

Now, go look at your website. Have you made a compeling invitation to your website visitors to stay connected? Go ahead, share your coaching message with them. Write a special report with your top 10 tips to whatever your coaching message is about. Now add an irresistable title so your visitor won’t leave your website without giving you their name and email address.

Now you need targeted website traffic!
