Social Media Traffic Secrets

The oldest chant in the Online Marketing world is the money is in the list!! and this has remained so because its true.

Yes there are a thousand Social Media sites around and people like Perry Belcher making an absolute killing from them. But even people who spend most of their time developing their social media personalities still need an email list to make money.

This is the third post on Article marketing and the whole series has focussed on why Article marketing is as important today as it was three years ago.

In the previous posts on this subject I have discussed why articles work and why your resource box plays such an important part in the whole Article impact and effect. The final post in this short series is why your Ezinearticles author biography is as important as the articles you publish.

Affiliate marketing is as old as the internet and the volume of sales driven by the ever increasing numbers of affiliates is staggering. In the last year alone the total number of sales produced by online retailers and marketing efforts may exceed $200 Billion US (see this report) in 2009, and that sales figure is rising at over 20% a year, despite the more recent global downturn. So it is even easier than ever to make a profit as an affiliate marketer, if you know what you are doing of course.

One of the most important elements of your article marketing effort should be in your resource box which generally speaking is just below your Article once its published. This is where you add the all important link(s) to your site, from which you stand to get all the benefits from your article marketing effort.

EzineArticles.com is the Grand-Daddy of the article marketing database sites online in 2009. But if you check out the stats its often very difficult to become an expert Author at the Platinum level without spending hours and hours pouring Articles into the system to reach sufficient entries to make the grade. So just what does it take to make the grade as an expert Author and why should you even bother?
