Articles give us tremendous free exposure. This is the secret of Viral
Markeing which is Free Advertising. If our article is good, it will be
displayed in ezines and websites and the resource box at the end will
proclaim who is the author of that article. Many a reader will click on the
link to our website and we get phenomenal amount of traffic!

When writing an article, it is the Resource box which pulls people to the
site. The Resource box must be well written. I used to write like this

Article by G Kumar, Astrologer & Epistemologist of
http://www.eastrovedica.com/ He is a good Viral Marketing expert & has made
his dotcom successful through VM. To subscribe to his Free ezine, the Z
Files, click here
mailto:info@eastrovedica.com?subject=Subscribe

You should give your site's name & your email address in the resource box.
If you have an ezine, you should give the email address for subscribing to
your ezine. In the Resource Box, it is better to give a short bio of
yourself and your area of expertise. Those who are impressed ...
... by your article
will definitely subscribe to your ezine as they thirst for more quality
information.

Successful marketers never try to sell their products at the first instance.
What they try is to get a free subscription to their Ezine! It is their
sophisticated approach that sells !

The main principle of Marketing is Never Sell - Influence. It should not
look like business. If you write an ad, it should not look like an ad.

Once people subscribe to your ezine via your Resource box, you can give
freebies - free reports, free ebooks and free consultancy. They become your
loyal customers ! They will refer more people to your site and your business
will thrive.

Once the article with the Resource Box is finished, you have to market it to
your target audience.

What I used to do is go to the search engines and type in "ezines" which
deal with your subject.

Since I started writing articles on Astrology, I used to go to Yahoo, Ebay,
Altavista etc and type in Astrology Ezine and search.

This search will give a list of Astrology Ezines. If your subject is
Medicine type Medicine ezine and search.
Suppose it gives 40 lists. You go to these websites and write down their
email addresses. Then you write a covering letter to the Zine Publisher and
submit your article to be published by him/her.

I used to write like this:

Dear Zine Publisher,

I came to know about your esteemed Zine from the Net.

I am a writer on Astrology with a website - http://www.eastrovedica.com/
I have written an article on Astrology. Please publish it in your Zine/Site.

It is a win-win situation for both of us as you get good content and I get
exposure in return.

Thanks and regards,

You can also submit your articles to Site Owners. They may display your
article on their site. Site Owners are looking for quality content. If you
can provide that, they will definitely accept your articles.

After writing articles on the subject, one should group these articles and
compile them into an ebook.

After I wrote nine articles on Astronumerology, I compiled them into an
Ebook called Astronumerology and distributed it free.

Free E Book Compiler

To compile an Ebook, you need a compiler and Keebo is a free compiler. We
have used it ourselves, but at this price of zero dollars, it's certainly
worth checking out: http://www.keeboo.com/ENU/index.html

There are other paid ebook compilers. You can download a trial version from
http://www.ebookcompiler.com/

In the ebook you should give links to your site. You can give links to your
friend's sites as well. You can tell your friends that you have given links
to their sites in your ebooks. They will reciprocate by giving you links in
their articles or their ebooks. They may even give you a link from their
sites as well.

You can ask ezine publishers to give the ebook away freely to their
customers. You can tell siteowners to give the ebook away to their visitors.
This is known as Perpetual Marketing, wherein many publishers and siteowners
market your site free for you!

You can give the ebook away as an incentive for subscribing to your Ezine.
You can give the ebook away when a customer buys your product, as an added
bonus.

You can tell your friends that you have given them links in your ebook.
Inspired, they will distribute it free amongst their friends, relatives &
customers.

You can give your ebook away as a free download at your site. Or you can
give them as a paid download.

If people download your ebook, they will definitely visit your website &
sign up for your newsletter or buy your products or hire you for your
service.

I have created several ebooks that have been read by thousands of people all
over the Net and this has resulted in massive traffic to my site.

Sheer hard work is imperative along with persistence, perseverance & lots of
time to be successful as a marketeer on the Net. Because of the dynamic &
ever changing nature of the Web, marketing becomes an everyday job. "
Promote or die" is the slogan. We have to market smarter, not harder.

Ebook publishing is the biggest money spinner on the Net. Many have become
millionaires as a result of e-publishing. Rick Beneteau ,Jim Daniels &
Monique Harris are some shining examples. So why dont you try this viral
method?
