Article Marketing And List Building – How to Combine Them

Two of the most effective methods of building an online business are article marketing and list building.

Use article marketing to drive traffic, and use list building to leverage your traffic for as long as you have a list.

It really is that simple.

You simply write articles, submit them to the various online article directories, then send the traffic from the articles to your squeeze page (you list building page).

The article writing and submission (article marketing) creates the first – effort traffic.

Then the list building creates second – effort traffic.

Second effort traffic? Yes, I said that correctly. Second – effort traffic. This is all the backend traffic that you get when you send emails out to the original visitors who came to your web site via the article marketing.

This allows you to leverage your traffic in extremely powerful ways.

You see, the article marketing creates the first visitor.

Then that visitor opts into your email list.

Then you send that visitor a series of emails that endears that subscriber to you – you build a relationship with that visitor.

Then you send that visitor to your web site again…and again…and again…leveraging your traffic to create many times the amount of traffic your visitor would have created the first time they went to your web site.

This is the power of article marketing and list building. Used together, they can really create a lot of traffic – the article marketing first, to the squeeze page, and the list building traffic, to your sales pages.
