Your tip today starts with my own shocking secret - I used to *HATE* listening to audio online. I'd still rather pay to download a transcript. I'm just a print-oriented person.

But I’m an oddball- that’s why you need to remember this one very important fact:

Almost everyone in online world would rather listen than read if they can.

(And people like me will buy your audio if you let them - I’ve paid for free audio streamed seminars to be sent to me on a CD.)

I can’t name one friend who doesn’t own at least 25 CDs, but only five have more than 7 books. Yes, even if it's same material - when faced with clicking an audio link to listen, or reading, they’d rather listen.

Not everyone is a great writer. But just about everyone can talk -- or get someone else to talk for them. So here are three reasons why you need to figure out how to have an audio-enabled site today.

1- Visitors love audio. And your site is about preferences of your visitors, not you, right?

Right?

Whew! You scared me for a second there.

2 - Audio keeps people on your site longer.

In a recent conference call by makers of Instant Audio, a discussion was sparked that detailed many of reasons why visitors stay longer at your site - particularly on your sales pages - when they are also Audio-enabled.

3- I’ve got one word for you. Podcasting.

If you run a business that has even simplest web site, even if you don’t have an audio-enabled computer, there’s a way that you can widen your audience, perhaps up to one hundred visitors by this time tomorrow.

This is not an exaggeration.

Podcasting, in lay-persons terms, is simply a way to incorporate audio and other types of media into RSS Feeds.

Some podcasts are full-fledged amateur broadcasts, and others, like one at my main site, are just quick daily tutorials, tips or greetings, that I like to call mini-casts.

(There’s a free video that will teach you how to do a mini-cast at http://howtopodcast.blogspot.com and there are free how-tos all over Net.)

It's a strategy that top marketers have been using for years and years now - they even tell us to do it, but most of us are just too lazy! Well, I crawled out of bed and decided to test strategy and was absolutely blown away!

Over course of two months, I wrote a total of 7 articles that I published in a few places (I'll show you where in a minute). Then, I got sick as a dog and was in and out of hospital.

Guess what? During time I was sick and not working, my articles went to work for me - it was amazing. In just a few weeks I sold about 20 memberships to AffiliateClassroom.com, and am still selling till this very moment.

Over course of a year those 20 memberships are going to earn me about $4,800 in profits. Can you believe that? Here is exactly what I did...

I wrote an article of around 500-700 words on any topic related to internet marketing ranging from "How to use solo ads" to "How to get approved for Google Adsense." Now, you're asking, well how do I write articles?

============================= How to Write Killer Articles =============================

1. Headline - The most important to get someone to even read article. 2. Introduction - To hook reader 3. Body 4. Closing 5. Resource Box - The second most important to generate traffic

~~~~~~~~~ Headline ~~~~~~~~~ Focus most on headline, introduction and resource box. Your headline needs to be catchy and needs to make a promise - person should know exactly what they will get after reading your article.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once they're reading your article - you need to hook them to read whole thing, that's only way they will read your resource box.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Resource Box ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is where you tell them something about yourself and then make an offer to get them excited enough to click a link and visit your website. For best response, send them to a page where you can offer a fr-ee course.
