Attracting Google Traffic with “Repurposed” Articles
If you’re a “techno-dummy” like me, you’ll love this traffic-generating tip 
As an author or info marketer, nothing is more important to the life of your business than fresh, targeted traffic from Google and other search engines on the Net.
When it comes to free traffic, nothing is easier than repurposing (transcribing) your Virtual Book Tour or teleseminar content into delicious Google “spider” food with Article Directories that offer free submission.
My favorite free submission Article Directory is EzineArticles.com and with nearly 100 articles I’ve “written with my mouth” (not with my hands) I get nearly 25,000 unique visitors to my blog each month.
Watch this video until the end because I give you access to an article I wrote that got me gobs of Google and PR Web traffic. I’m giving it to you from the parking lot of a Whole Foods grocery store in THIS video. Enjoy!

Hey Alex!
As always, excellent information!
I was a Cub Scout myself and used the same technique!

You are excellent at simplifying what we tend to make so difficult. Your tips provide peace of mind and a roadmap to getting where I want to go.
You Rock!

Alex, great info thank you! I’ve been struggling with getting articles together for my blog and other sites. You just make it look so easy by just doing it… I guess that’s the key, verbal or otherwise just get it done and get it out there. And more importantly get it in the right place! During my consulting sessions I always recommend my clients spend the time up front to make sure they’re in the right place, then they can be assured that the right time can come along soon afterwards. Keep up the great work Alex!

Awesome video! Starting with a story; very hypnotic!

Great video!
Simple concept, but very powerful.
I liked the story about you selling cookies as a cub scout. Not only did you make tons of sales, but I think you had much less stress than other cub scouts knocking on doors.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Alex,
Great video! And you are so right! I just came in my office this morning and told Pat, today between appointments I’ll be gathering articles to send to our SEO guy. We out source that work and he optimizes and submits them for us.
Speaking of outsourcing, my son Caleb is now offering a great new service for infopreneurs where he’ll take one hour of audio content, transcribe it and then split it into 5-7 articles, 5-7 blog posts, 5-7 podcasts, 5-7 videos and then he’ll submit them to multiple ezines and video sites for you, saving you tons of time while generating targeted traffic back to your site.
He’ll be adding this service to his site next month but you can contact him before he has too many clients to handle at http://www.northbankaudio.com
Ask Adam Urbanski and Melanie Strick about his work (it’s amazing)…you may think I’m biased because he’s my son…but they’re not related!
Thanks for all you do, Alex!

Hi Alex,
I appreciate your analogy in your story and in your visual demonstration. I enjoy your candid and personable approach. I am getting very close to doing what you suggest. I am also going to sign up for the teleseminar to get more suggestions and guidance.

Great video. So incredible how one thing can be repurposed and then spread out in so many different spots to drive traffic in. There are going to be some happy people that take VBTS.
Love the timing of the vehicle leaving!
Great camera work Hugh!

Great blog post Alex. I love the candy bar sales approach analagy. Thanks for this informative video.

I love it!! I have written two articles and have submitted them to a few sites, I intend to write more and submit to all 60 sites listed by Matt Bacak. I like him a lot. I love his style. I believe what you tell me. So I will continue on this project with increased vigor. I’m also going to use teleseminars to share my information with others. I’m going to send you more about the Power of Respect. You’ll be hearing a lot from me very soon.

Hi Alex,
Yet another great video! I love your videos because they are entertaining as well as thought-provoking. I also love articles although I tend to write and then speak mine.
And as you and Jeff Herring teach (I took his Article Writing and Marketing course recently - excellent!) articles are so great for re-purposing.
One article can certainly go a long, long way.
Here’s a sample of one of my re-purposed articles:

You make it sound so easy. Great stuff! I need to stop focusing on my 2nd book and focus on article writing.

Hi Alex,
Great video! I posted 8 articles on EzineArticles.com while taking Jeff Herrings class. I’ve been busy writing other things but you’ve inspired me to get back to writing articles. It really does work. I definitely have seen an increase in traffic.
Thanks so much for the great info!

Alex,
A great technique and one we have started supporting in our new products (we provides some additional articles on the niche for people to use just as you suggest).
Would you mind if I pointed to this blog post so my customers/list could be reinforced in the technique?
Unfortunately, I haven’t been as good at doing it as you/I say but you’ve spurred me to finally do as I say!
Thanks,
David

Hi Alex, thanks for the encouragement again. You know when you get the ah ha moment while you’re learning, well, this week I’ve had my ah ha moment with the importance of videos and how they can get you ranking higher on the searcg engines. This video just hit that point home again.
Many thanks
Kind regards

Alex,
This is a great tip! I was recently speaking with my wife Maura about this…and we sat down and did a mind map, followed up by a timeline to get this done. I look forward to sharing this with Maura and also look forward to creating the video’s, blogs and audio recordings.
Keep up the great work, and remember this world would not be the same without you!

Hey Alex - as always, a great and timely message - i’ve been slacking with my article submissions lately - and forgetting the keep it simple of repurposing existing content in various ways - articles, video, blog,etc.
Al the Best!
