How
To Make Your Resource Box Sell

Ezine Articles -
they're everywhere! And little wonder. They're one
of the fastest ways of building traffic to your
website. But what many people overlook is the
Resource Box. It's almost as important as your
Article. After all, your traffic comes to you
through your Resource Box.
Writing your
Resource Box is an art in itself. You have very
little space (5 or 6 lines) and you want to make
the most of it. Here are four key elements your
Resource Box should contain.
1) Your
Name
Remember, one of the reasons Ezine Articles are
such a powerful promotion tool is that they brand
your name, they establish your reputation as a an
expert. So the first line of your Resource Box
should be a short sentence that gives your name and
tells the reader what you do on the
Internet.
2) Your
website URL
This is pretty straightforward - you want
people to visit your website. But there's another
reason for including your website URL. As well as
being published in Ezines, your Articles will also
be published on websites, often with a live link to
your website URL. And that's going to do wonders
for your link-popularity. Remember, the major
Search Engines are making link-popularity one of
the key factors in ranking their search
results.
3) Your
Newsletter subscribe address
A given reader may not purchase your product,
they may not even click through to your website,
but why not at least capture their email address?
Remember that the average person has to see your
message seven times before they buy your
product.
4) Something
FREE!
Your Resource Box is probably one of a dozen
other Ads in the same Ezine, all clamoring for
attention. Offer something free and you'll vastly
increase the chances of a reader clicking through
to your website.
