Before employing a writer to produce your articles, it is a good idea to request a resume and/or sample of their work. The resume is beneficial for the obvious reasons and the writing sample will give you an excellent idea as to their writing style and whether it will suit your business needs. The next step will be to determine a fair compensation amount and an agreement on payment terms. For example, once you agree to a payment amount, will that be paid in full upfront, at the completion of the project or does the writer require a deposit upfront with the remaining balance due upon completion? Depending on the writer, fees and payment structures may vary greatly. For reasons of expense, it is a good idea to hire only the writer(s) that you can afford. A clear agreement on payment terms will make for a happy and lasting business relationship.

When employing a writer to produce your articles, it is a good idea to explain exactly the type of article content that you are looking for. How many words should the article include? What subject will the article cover? How much research, if any, do you prefer that the writer conduct? If you have any ideas or thoughts on exactly how you want the content structured, be sure to let the writer know upfront. In addition, if you have a specific deadline or just prefer to get the job completed quickly, be sure to inform the writer so that he/she can deliver the work on time. One of the most important thing to look for, when employing a writer to produce your articles, is dependability.

If you have decided that employing a writer to produce your articles is the best approach for your business, then try and select one or several good writers and build an ongoing working relationship with them. It is good to work with a variety of writers but, if you work with too many, the content of the articles will each sound so different that it may become obvious that multiple people are producing the work. If you are promoting your website, then you will want the articles to sound consistently similar so that there aren’t a lot of different styles of writing.

Employing a writer to produce your articles will save you a lot of time that may be otherwise spent promoting your website, developing new ideas and preparing for new changes. Whether you aren’t a writer by nature or simply don’t have the time, employing a writer to produce your articles will make your strategy for article marketing a lot easier.

website traffic. And the good news is that you can do

things to increase website traffic totally free of cost!

It can be done and here are 10 ways to do it:

1. Submit to Search Engines: This is the first step

towards increasing your website traffic. Don’t wait for

the search engines to find your site. Go ahead and submit

it to them voluntarily. Submitting a sitemap would be

better – this will encourage the search engines to

examine your site more often. Visits by the Search Engine

Spiders are a key way to increase website traffic.

2. Link Exchange: The search engines count inbound links

when ranking your website. Look for free link exchange

programs. You can increase website traffic by including

relevant links to your site – so seek out sites with

similar or complementary products/services. You can also

use free blogs as lead generation tools to help increase

website traffic. When you make a post on a blog, include

a link to your site URL, using anchor text. Blogs are a

direct means to increase website traffic for free! Free

classified ads that allow links to your URL are also good

ways to increase website traffic.

3. Article Marketing: A relatively new but powerful (and

free!) traffic booster. Publish articles on Ezine and

Article Directories. Articles create interest in your

website as you are seen as an expert. Having links to

your URL utilizing anchor text increases your number of

relevant inbound links.

4. “Tell a Friend” Scripts: Include a “tells a friend”

script on your website. This will enable your customers

to pass your website (and links) around. You’d be amazed

at how well this works. Someone finds your site

interesting, passes it to a friend, so on, and so on. You

get the picture. This directly helps increase website

traffic, and you build your customer base! A favorite

technique of Internet business owners and it’s free!

5. Hold a Contest: Use your website’s auto responder as a

means to hold a contest of some type. For example, if

they sign up for your newsletter, they get a chance to

win free e-books
Or one months’ worth of web hosting (or one of your

products). Again, this is an excellent way to increase

website traffic and build your opt-in list, all at the

same time!

6. Press Releases: This is one of the most overlooked

ways to increase website traffic. The subject can be as

simple as announcing a new product that you offer, or a

new hire that you’ve made. As long as it’s newsworthy,

you can distribute your press release to the online press

release companies and have it picked up by the major

search engine’s news categories (for example, Yahoo!

News). Do you know how many people read these things?

Thousands! An excellent way to increase you website

traffic. Totally free!

7. Affiliate Program: Do you sell a product or e-book?

Then you need to create an affiliate program. This is how

it works: you offer to permit sale of your product on

other Internet owners’ websites, in exchange for giving

them a portion of the sale (say, 35%). Do you realize how

many websites that you can have your products on using

this method? There are many Internet business owners that

simply sell other people’s products (we call these Super

Affiliates). This way, you sell more products and

increase website traffic absolutely free of cost! You do

have to promote your affiliate program and product, which

brings us to the next method, which is….

8. Get A ClickBank Account: Clickbank is the largest

product directory on the Internet today. Additionally,

Clickbank will set up and manage your affiliate program

for you. They will also manage sales and any returns. You

don’t do a thing! Both your product and affiliate program

are listed in the Clickbank directory. People looking for

the product you offer find your website and wham! You’ve

just taken a major step toward getting an immediate

increase in website traffic! And, it only takes 5 minutes

to sign up!

9. Joint Venture: You can team up with a company that

sells similar or complementary products and services.

Your website link is then advertised on that company’s

site and vice versa. This results in directing traffic

from their site to yours. All you have to do is contact

the company that you are interested in via email, with a

proposal. This technique works amazingly well. You

increase website traffic, and most importantly, it is

both relevant and targeted, increasing your ability to

make a sale!

10. Use Ebay: Stop passing up Ebay! Ebay is less

intimidating than it looks, and it is easy for beginners

to get started. In fact, Ebay was practically made for

the Internet business owner who wants to increase website

traffic. You can set up an Ebay store, of course linking

back to your website. Including clever sales copy and

pictures of your products/services increases your chances

of customers clicking through and making a purchase. You

can sell ANYTHING on eBay – this is no exaggeration. Go

to ebay.com and you’ll see what I’m talking about!

  Now I have challenged Michael Cheney & Mike Morgan that I can make over half of what their best newbie can make in a year. Their newbie will have the Mike’s personal guidance and I will be using some of their own programs. I have sent them an e-mail with the challenge; I hope to hear back soon and that they accept my challenge. The winner can toast a beer to the loser on April 15, 2011.This is a friendly challenge which will put their products and me to the ultimate test.  I’m not asking for anything in this challenge, no free programs or advice. I’m just looking to test myself and the information already included in the programs I bought from Mike and Michael.

 At the end of this challenge I hope to have proved to myself that I can accomplish something of this level but that Mike and Michael’s programs are well worth their cost. I believe that anyone with enough drive, ambition and the right information can become a successful Internet Marketer.

Should they accept this challenge I will make updates on my blog to keep you informed about my progress and my setbacks. After posting this update I will be e-mailing Michael and Mike to let them know that I’ve posted this challenge on my blog. Stay posted!

Michael Cheney Talks Traffic – Interview With A Traffic Expert

Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos and 11 Days To List Profits. He has unveiled a new videos product – “Michael’s Traffic Videos” which covers everything to do with traffic and comes with 100,000 instant ad credits and a tailored Fast-Track To Traffic Action Plan.

We managed to grab some time with him recently and quiz him on his favorite topic – traffic.

You’ll get a lot out of this interview including a killer 40-page E-book on traffic that Michael has written to help you avoid the Top 20 Traffic Disasters!

So let’s get started.

Q. Firstly Michael, thank you for joining us today in your busy schedule.

A. Hey no problem. Good to be here.

Q. We all know that traffic is important but could you just explain a bit about traffic for the beginners out there?

A. Sure. Traffic is the lifeblood of any business online. Without it you just die. We all know that. But what a lot of us don’t realize is that just like everything else on the Internet traffic changes very quickly. That is, the methods of getting traffic are changing all the time and that’s where people get caught out.

Q. What do you mean by “caught out”?

A. Well people fall into the trap of thinking that just because they know one or two traffic generation methods that they are some sort of traffic master. In reality just because you know how to start a pay per click campaign or a little bit about search engines doesn’t make you anywhere near a traffic expert. I’m trying to spread the word that there is a massive array of traffic tactics that most people aren’t even aware of, let alone using or mastering.

Q. Can you give us some examples?

A. Sure. Offline for example. You might immediately think that getting traffic is a purely online activity but the truth of the matter is that there are lots of things you can be doing offline to get people into your website. And it’s usually these sorts of areas that are being under-utilized and therefore there is less competition for that traffic as well.

Q. So by offline you mean advertising offline?

A. Not necessarily. That is one method, yes, but I’m thinking of more creative ways to get people into your website. It all comes down to the fact that having asked people on my list it came as no surprise that most people want to know about free rather than paid traffic sources. I’ve had to become an expert in free ways of getting traffic in my time online.

Q. What do you mean – I thought you were running a successful online business with lots of cash flow?

A. I am. But it’s not always been this way. When I first started out in 1995 I had nothing. No money to play with. Just my own initiative and imagination.

Q. So are you saying you’re against paying for traffic online?

A. No. No I’m not saying that at all. What I’m saying is that, especially when you first start out, you always want to focus on the free methods. You get the traffic in for free, make some sales and then you can reinvest some of that money into paid methods of getting traffic. This speeds up the process.

Q. So what particular offline methods are you referring to – can you give us some examples?

A. There’s one tactic I used that costs nothing to implement, is relatively quick and ended up getting me thousands and thousands of targeted visitors into my websites. When I’ve shared this tactic with other marketers at seminars they’ve started laughing and slapping their foreheads when they saw how easy it was. They were also embarrassed that they had failed to use this tactic. It was quite amusing.

Q. So are you going to tell us what this method is?

A. No! (laughs) It’s in my course! I truly believe in rewarding those people that are most eager to learn so instead of giving away all my traffic tactics in interviews like this I’ve put some of them in an E-Book I’ve written. It is free though if people want to get it.

Q. So how can people get hold of it?

A. It’s called “How To Avoid The Top 20 Traffic Disasters” and you can get it by going to Michael’s Traffic Videos – you’ll see it mentioned on that page.

Q. What’s in it?

A. Well I really wanted to raise the bar on a free E-Book so I spent a lot of time creating it. It’s 40 pages long and stuffed with juicy content on what NOT to do when it comes to traffic. As far as I’m concerned too many people out there tell you what you should do but not what you shouldn’t do. That’s where this E-Book comes in.

Q. Okay. I think we’re about done is there anything else you want to tell everyone?

A. Just that if they are serious about getting more traffic into their website they need to goto Michael’s Traffic Videos and get that free E-Book.

Q. Cool. Well thanks for your time Michael and speak to you soon.

A. My pleasure. Speak soon.

Something to think about

I was listening to the radio this morning while having breakfast and heard there was a bad accident on the highway. It was a stretch of road I use to drive every day on my way to work. When there was an accident I would be upset because of the time and gas that was wasted. It was an hour to work and another half hour to an hour for the traffic delay. Not a good start to the day. Today I realized that I was living a much greener lifestyle. I no longer had to drive to work every day (about 30,000 miles a year) I had cut my carbon footprint down by nearly 23,000 lbs. of CO2. I was using less gas, less paper, less hydro. Not bad for not even trying. For that  reason  alone it makes sense to earn money online. Something to think about.

That’s why I was shocked when I came across
Michael Cheney’s AdSense Videos site. He’s
produced simple click and play videos that show
you the exact methods he uses to make $19,156

Michael’s videos are different because they
