THREE Success secrets of Your Resource box.

Internet marketers write articles to submit to ezine publishers or content sites. By doing this their website or product get exposure and people reading the articles start coming to the authors website. This is a great and effective not to mention free type of advertising.

Article authors add Resource box at the end of articles. Resource box is a 4-6 line signature file that contains authors details.

Why Resource box is important?

Hey… It is giving you free advertising. When somebody reads your article, they will see your name and web site link at the end of the article and clicks the link to come to your web site.

When ever your article is published on other web sites, it increases your link popularity in search engines. You know how the search engines love the web sites with good link popularity.

So what are the THREE amazing success secrets?

‘Don’t try to sell your product or service through your resource box.’

Do I kidding? No way! Instead of keeping your product page link, provide some link to your free course or free subscription newsletter. This is a way of increasing your opt-in list. I am not saying not to include your product. But offer something free from your resourcebox too. Most content sites allow two links in resoucebox. So instead of two product links, keep one product link and one free offering.

Example resourcebox:
———————
How I sold two hundred copies of an ebook with in one week!
FREE Crash course on Ebook Marketing plan’.
Subscribe now: yourdomain.com/subscribe.html
———————

My point is focus on getting subscribers through your resource box.

‘Use the word ‘FREE’ in your resource box.’

People love to see the words fr*ee, bonus, discount etc. Offer something free from your web site. The idea behind this is to increase your subscribers base substantially.

Some freebies like:

* free email course
* free subscription to your newsletter with sign up bonuses
* free ebooks
* free membership access
* free trials of your product
* free ads
Any other ideas you get, offer from your resource box.

‘Always keep a web site link in your resource box.’

What I mean to say is a simple ‘mailto’ link won’t increase your link popularity. URL that starts with your ‘yourdomain.com/’ counts for search engines. If you want to keep a subscribe link to your ezine, keep a webpage URL.

This also leads visitors to your web site. If you provide email link, people subscribe from your resource box and chances of visiting your web site will be remote. If you keep URL link, they visit your web site to subscribe.
