The resource box or authors box is one of the most important parts of an article. Yet it is the one that is most neglected. This is the only place that article sites will allow you to sell yourself and your product, so it is a very important piece of the article. Yet most people fail in this area. If you want more traffic to your site lets pay attention to the resource box.
When The resource box is set up correctly, you can get a boat load of free traffic. Lets look at the reason for writing good content, its to get people to click through the resource box. So it makes sense to have a well thought out selling resource box to drive traffic to your site. Without it all your work is for naught. If the resource box doesn’t sell clicks, it like you have never written a good article.
Many people have been told just to deliver good content, and the traffic will come. How does the traffic come? People click through the resource box. So if you have more then 20 articles out there and you are getting light traffic or no traffic look to your resource box for clues.
You need to focus on what your readers want, then give it to them. What feelings did you create in your article? What problems did you solve for them? You need to get them hungry for more information, get them a cure to the problem that you just solved for them.
1. This step is called the lead phase. In this phase we lead them right into the resource box. Do not be to sales like or to soft we need the proper balance. You want a real trouble free transition.
2. Benefits Section. You need to offer your reader a benefit that will get them to give up their email address and a visit to your site. So you must tell them whats in it for them at this time.
3. This is the call to action step. You need to clearly tell them what to do next and they will follow your orders.
So lets break these steps down into specific examples.
Transition phase
In order to phase in smoothly you can use terms like this “You want to save time and money …”You can succeed at …”To start earning today…
After we transition we need to give a big fat benefit cookie.
List bait statement or Benefit :
Here are some ideas:
You need to think what are the benefits of your product and just fill in the blanks. Here are some starters. “Save Money and Time” “Live till 101 with the body of a 30 year old…” “Find your soul mate” “Earn Money” So zero in on what your product benefits are, not what the product does but how does it make the client feel.
The next step is the call to action we just need to keep it simple. We could use the Please Visit here, or Go to your-website-here. As long as you guide your readers on what to do next, you have them captivated and they are interested so you need to tell them what to do and lead them to your money site.
Another good way to do this is an action phrase like using something like”To Start Earning Today Go to your-site-here. Here is another one as an example “To Sleep better tonight Visit Your-site here.”
