(4) Write an Anecdote

Have you had a strange or frustrating experience on Internet, or have you made a big mistake that you learned from (people love reading about other people's mistakes). Write about it!

(5) Write a 'How To' article

These kind of articles are always in demand. And it doesn't have to be very long - five tips that you've picked up in last month on some aspect of running an online business. Maybe you learned how to choose a web host, how to choose a list server, how to deal with spam, how to get better results from your Newsletter, or how to succeed with affiliate programs? Why not share those tips with others?

I hope these ideas have given you food for your next article and next surge of free traffic to your website!

Spend resources to bring your most likely customers to your website.

KEY: Attract highly targeted visitors

First, define your most likely customers. What other interests and concerns do they have?

Next, figure out where your most likely customers hang out online. Are they looking for your products on search engines? Do they research your products on other websites? What newsletters do your customers read? What can you do to put your name in front of people when they're ready to buy what you offer?

Once you know where your most likely customers are online, you can work to attract people who want what you offer on your website. You can place ads, get on search engines and place ads on appropriate websites.
