$1,036 in 12 Hours from Writing a Single Article

Would it be worth it to master a technique that places the power of generating a flood of consistent, highly targeted and rabid traffic squarely in your hands?

As an online marketing professional, your time is valuable, and you need to focus on what works, that’s exactly why this technique is so powerful.

To be truthful, the $1,036 in 12 hours is an accomplishment I can happily say is not abnormal these days - what is nice about this example is that it was a Sunday (typically my slowest day for sales) while I was gone the entire day to a local festival here in my hometown of Ottawa, Canada.

Let me say, I do tend to still work for a few hours on the weekends, but this Sunday, I didn’t even check my mail until the kids were fast asleep at 8:30 pm, exhausted by a combination of rides, music, jugglers, magicians and an unending diet of junk food — ahhhh…

My inbox was filled with orders for my own products and over $500 in affiliate sales — after about an hour of answering my mail, I decided on an early rest and hit the sack.

Today, I decided to check my statistics to find out where the sales came from (tracking really IS important), only to find that an article I wrote last week and was picked up by a high traffic site (from a generic article directory) generated most of the sales.

What’s important to understand is that this is NOT a one-time occurrence. I’ve had this happen many times over the last year. In fact, if I had to identify one single technique that has consistently increased my traffic by over 15% for the last 12 months (I mean every month), it is simply writing an article a week.

To repeat, I invested maximum 20-minutes, and NO greenback writing these articles. The return on investment is in the 1,000%+ range… a pretty nice technique don’t you think.

But remember, this information only gives you the formula for generating an ongoing stampede of traffic and sales, it does not write the articles for you.

Like any successful system - it requires a solid formula that works with action to feed the formula.
