You would never believe I have a lot of faith in writing articles with a title like that, would you?

Well, the truth is, I really do.

I have tried just about everything for traffic, and writing and publishing articles has been the most consistent form of quality traffic.

I have tried all the junk traffic – just about all the purchased traffic you can buy – and I have used Adwords and I have abused the JV giveaways - and articles are my best form of traffic

Don’t get me wrong. I get subscribers from the other traffic. But the article readers buy.

Why? Because there is a connection, a relationship that occurs, that begins with the reading of the article. Only people who connect with my style will click through.

What happens is that when a web surfer reads your article, some of them like your style, relate to you. And some of them do not. So the only people who click your links, who visit your site, are serious. They like you. They like your style. They connect with you. And only those who connect with you will buy.

One thing that is incredibly important is for the connection that you create in the article to be continued on the squeeze page, to be continued in the emails, and to be continued on your sales page. And the only way for you to keep that unique connection alive is to write it all yourself. You are cheating yourself if you are writing your own articles and your own emails but someone else is writing your squeeze page and your sales copy. It will be more than worth the effort to learn to write sales copy yourself. But that is a different topic all together.
