Having trouble finding easy free traffic to your site?
• Article Marketing is simple and free traffic to your website. By publishing articles about your niche you are expanding your exposure and impression on the internet as a leading authority of knowledge. Publishing articles allows the company to present quality original content to it’s subscribers. When those subscribers read and share your article you get traffic from back links, ping backs, and track backs created by your article. Articles also helps your search engine page rank, by having a live link to your site in the authors biography/resource box. Article Marketing is easy traffic for the following reasons:
  Creating Live Inbound Links
  Self-Branding, Authority Image
  Reach Subscribed Targeted Audiences
  Increased Exposure=Increased Traffic
  Chance to create/be featured in an eBook with your articles
• Creating Live Inbound Links
  Through your author resource box you are adding in 1-3 links to sites which relate to the author or the article. This helps build in-links/back links to your sites and will affect your search engine page rank in a promising way. Also Live Inbound Links can be obtained by having a user/author profile with the specific company/site which will and can include live links back to your site as well.
• Self-Branding
  Self-Branding is just important now as it was 3-5 years ago. By creating a follower and reader base through quality content rich articles written by yourself you will be labeled as an authority in your niche. This takes time to build, but the results are fantastic. Everyone hopes to build a name for themselves in life, either as president/ceo of a company or as an actor/actress, etc. The internet is no different, if you seem like you know what your talking about and people enjoy reading what you have to say they will follow you. Just look at John Chow and ShoeMoney, they have great websites setup with thousands of followers due to self-branding.
• Reach Subscribed Targeted Audiences
  Many times when you submit your article to article submission directories they are placed in certain categories. By categorizing articles into certain topics, people know exactly what to expect when they go to the section “Article Marketing”, or “Marketing with Ezine Articles”. This allows you to reach a targeted audience of subscribed readers to your specific topic. It’s important to establish a strong reader base for your articles as they will also be picked up by search engines and can propel your page rank within weeks of being published.
• Increased Exposure = Increased Traffic
  If you have a higher search engine page rank your article traffic will increase, which will increase your blog/site traffic, which will then increase your page rank even higher. Okay, that’s in a perfect world. Realistically speaking, you can hope to see about 100-500+ unique visitors a month from a free article submission depending on the topic. If you do a paid submission then you will see a much much larger number.
• Chance to create/be featured in an eBook with your articles
  If you publish alot of articles it’s wise to advertise that your articles can be reprinted/included in an eBook with/without your permission dependent on they link back to your site/article. This creates a viral marketing effect, because free eBooks have a very good tendency to spread like wildfire throughout the internet, especially if they are filled with quality content. Another important thing to consider is once you get 5-10 articles/posts on a certain topic you should begin to think about making your own free eBook which can be sent out via email newsletter/or can be sold through your site.

Influence of the Mind: Eastern vs Western Culture
• I would like to speak about a few subtle differences about eastern and western culture when it comes to the form of external and internal energy. I would also like to speak about the differences in the gym environment and the emphasis of preventative exercise vs reactive exercise.

    First and foremost, this is not about politics, religion, or economics. The classification of western vs. eastern culture is a mere generalization of what may be seen, but does not allude to any guarantees of validity.

    In my opinion many western cultured individuals are focused on superficial energy. We are set in a reactive exercise habit, and are not exercising to achieve balance within our bodies. We routinely drive to a gym, to physically drain our bodies of any energy it may have had. We run and sprint until we can barely walk, we force our bodies to lift two-five times our own body weight, and generally work out for the sole purpose of appearances. We do not in a sense work out for ourselves, our internal balance and energy, we work out for others to admire, cherish, and loathe us. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, people will and can do what they want, when they want. The point I’m simply trying to make is there are different ways to do things.

    In many eastern cultures exercise is not seen as a past time, but a daily ritual built into culture. Daily exercise is meant to strengthen your mind, internal organs by releasing toxins, and body at the same time. Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation, and Yoga are just a few ways to achieve such balance. By achieving a balance within yourself you will be able to do the western culture thing, but will also feel 100% better doing the eastern and western.

• Preventative Exercise vs. Reactive Exercise:
   Preventative exercise in essence is creating a healthy environment for your body to live in. You routinely try to reach a balance in your life, be it at school, work, lunch, dinner, gym, etc. Reaching a balanced lifestyle allows you to prevent any more serious illnesses which may occur. Seen today more than 65% of Americans are overweight or obese, some at their own fault. I sympathize for these individuals and wish to share my knowledge to help them reach a balanced lifestyle.
  
   Reactive exercise is basically exercising in a reaction to a reason to exercise. You go to the doctor, and he says you need to lose weight, aka your overweight, then you react and exercise. Reactive exercise may fix the problems, but it doesn’t prevent them. Reaching a balanced lifestyle WILL HELP!
