Do Not Sell in the Resource Box!

Most people assume the resource box at the end of the article

is their opportunity to sell.



You write an article and can sell your product or sell yourself

via a link or email address in the resource box.



However this is NOT the most effective way to use the resource

box. You can actually increase sales by not using this approach.



You really should not sell in the resource box but rather get

the interested visitor to take further action.



You 'give' with your article but you try to 'receive'

with your resource box. But what should you receive?



Instead of trying to sell a product directly through the

resource box, there are more effective techniques that provide

long-term benefits.



Here are 3 offers that you can provide in your resource box:



1. A free email course. This way you get subscribers and you

can then market your product throughout the email course.



2. A free ebook download. Promote your product via links

throughout the ebook. Also, offer the email course in the ebook

as well.



3. An ezine packed with valuable content published either

weekly, twice a month or monthly. Then promote your product

with ezine ads throughout each issue. But make sure you do not

go overboard with ezine ads. Generally, the fewer the better.



The resource box is an invaluable marketing tool but is often

used for making direct sales.



However, my own research has shown that by providing offers

through the resource box rather than the product itself, your

sales will actually increase.



In the resource box provide an offer for readers to take

further action.
