Step 3. Start By Presenting The Challenge

You know and your reader knows challenge you are trying to solve - but you want to use first paragraph to really re-create "feeling" of having problem in reader's head. You are setting them up to really look forward to rest of your article - where you will solve their problem.

Step 4. Offer A Simple, Effective Solution Linked To Your Website

What separates super-charged, traffic generating articles from those that disappear into ether? You need to offer your readers hope by outlining a simple, fast solution to their challenge while NOT giving away all of methods behind HOW to achieve solution. You want to convince reader that YOU can solve their problem, all while giving them impression that there is more, so much more, that they could still find by clicking on a link to your website, opt-in or other follow-up system.

Be consistent. Once you complete your articles, send them out to distribution directories, build private publisher lists, and post them to your articles directory on your website - even post them to your blog, if you have one.

Finally, generating a massive stampede of traffic to your website is possible for anyone - trick is spending your limited time on right activities and methods.

The following is perfect example of an article that was written about a gift from another direct sales company rep: http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/rainy-day-cakes.html

Don't forget to add your resource box to end of your article, and remind them to do same. So really you are getting twice advertising as you would just writing your own article! Not to mention you have a "testimony" that's not an ad and being used as content on other sites.

Pull up your address book and start figuring who you can exchange products with. Try to find others that have similar but not competitive products. Such as if you sell home decor with no candles, find someone that has candles.
