I submitted forty articles to four directories and got enrolled in this wonderful coaching program. I didn't really know the exact reason why I submitted those articles, but I did it anyway.

After I got accepted, the coach told us to write articles and distribute to various directories (again). We had to find the websites ourselves (we were 70 at the beginning). I typed article directories and other keywords in Google to find those.

He told us that we needed to add a resource box at the end of the articles with an anchor link to his website because it was one of the best form of traffic on the web. After all, the web is just content and links.

Almost immediately after we submitted those articles (it became a weekly task after this), we were taught to create an opt-in box to capture our visitors emails and first name.

What is an opt-in box?

It is a form that you can get from your autoresponder software and add to your website to build your list of subscribers. You need to be aware that almost %90 of the visitors to your website are not going to buy from you. For this reason, you need to quickly qualify them to find out if they will do business with you in the future.

Think about it, if they don't trust you enough to give you their email and first name, they are not going to give you their credit card number... And to run your business, you need to be in profits. Once a surfer becomes a lead (he subscribed to your autoresponder message), you need to build a relationship with him. Now it will be easy for you because you already wrote a couple of quality articles.

All you need to do is to add those articles into your autoresponder series and your subscribers will receive them automatically.

Next, we will discover how to monetize these articles.
