In a previous article, Web 2.0 Social Marketing Case Study Results, I talked about how I managed to generate over 1,000 visitors in less than 24 hours from Netscape to a brand new blog.

So let's discuss some important copywriting tips you can use in your social marketing so that you can maximize your success when trying to generate traffic using web 2.0 sites.

Write a powerful, attention grabbing headline.

When writing an article, whether it's for your blog or an article directory, you should think about your headline the same way you would think about a headline for a sales letter.

The headline is the first thing people are going to see when they come across your article.

If it doesn't compel them to keep reading, you won't see any results, no matter how great your information might be in the body of the article.

This is just as true, if not more so, when incorporating social bookmarking and social news sites in your marketing plan.

Your headline MUST grab the attention of the reader immediately.

Let's use Digg as an example. Read more

Is internet marketing using web 2.0 for real?

Can you drive traffic to your web site or blog with social marketing using sites like Digg?

The short answer is yes.

I was able to drive quite a bit of traffic from Propeller.com (formerly Netscape) to a blog that was only a few weeks old.

In fact, I managed to drive over 1,000 visitors to my blog in less than 24 hours from one blog post that was submitted to Netscape!

All told that blog post submitted to Netscape drove over 2,400 visitors to my new blog for the month of August.

If you're trying to create a successful online business, you've most likely heard about The Secret, now out on DVD.

They've run a heck of a marketing campaign for it.

And I wouldn't expect any less with top marketers like Joe Vitale involved in the project.

While The Secret has been repackaged and given a great marketing campaign there really isn't anything new in it. That's not to say it's bad. Not at all.

It's just not new or groundbreaking.

But with their marketing campaign they took these long standing success principles and delivered them to a lot of people who probably have never heard about the law of attraction.

And that's a good thing.

Here's what I think is the bad thing and it's not the fault of The Secret. Unfortunately, most people miss the most important aspect of the law of attraction.

So what's the real secret of The Secret? Read more
