There are many ways of creating traffic to your website, blog, on whatever you have online.  Some are expensive and really don’t produce much results.  Others are free, and give you “free” results (if you know what I mean).  But this is one of my favorites.  Article marketing is very effective, and, with the right tools, can also be free.

Article marketing can also be very time consuming if you are writing your articles and then submitting them to directories, one at a time.    The simple fact is, you need to use an article submission service if you are going to leverage your time in order to leverage your articles.  Since everyone can’t afford to pay to have articles written for them when they are getting started, you need to put your money where it will be most effective.  And that is with a proven article submission service.

The article submission services can get your article to literally thousands of diretories while you spend your time doing other money making activities.  One of my favorites is AFFSphere.  I am going to tell you others in my next posting, but I am going to stick to just one here.  AFFSphere is not the highest volume distributor around.

However, I like them because I make money using their service.  Simply by posting in their directory, you make money and earn additional free advertising.  In this directory, I earned a commission the first day my article was published, and had nine viewings that one day.

They have eight ways to earn cash in their system, and you don’t have to pay to do it.  Most of their system is viral, so you don’t have to do anything but post articles to earn.  So I think you can see why I think this is a good place to go.  Now AFFSphere is acutally article syndication, not distribution.  But they are effective.  My articles get read and pulled from this directory very rapidly.

They also allow links inside your article.  This is good or bad.  For directory use, this is great.  For distribution purposes, this is bad because most publishers won’t take your article with live links in it.  They consider your article less valuable content, and mostly advertising if you are placing your link in the article text.

So, if you want free traffic, free distribution, and free affiliate program with real viral potential, then start using this syndication service.

See you at the writer guild…
