Article marketing is Dr. Joe Vitale's "secret weapon" (he's a legendary marketer and was in the movie "The Secret").

But don't worry if you're not a great writer, or simply hate writing. You can create traffic-pulling articles in 7 minutes or less. I'll show you how, along with state-of-the-art techniques on getting your articles spread all over the internet like a virus.

Here are 3 quick ways to write high quality articles:

1) Interview somebody. This is the fastest and easiest way. Simply find an expert on a your topic or niche, and do a Q&A with them. These experts can be found anywhere... website owners, blog writers, or even in your social circle.

Contact them, and offer to interview them. In return you can give them exposure by sharing their business information with your readers (which is what they want). Most people are usually flattered if you ask to interview them.

2) Do a "Top 10" list. These always make very attractive articles, and publishers love them. Create a list of 10 things someone can do to accomplish a specific goal, or top 10 mistakes to avoid in your topic. You can also do top 3, top 5, or top 7 lists. Think David Letterman!

3) Outsource your articles. This may be the most convenient way of creating articles. Although it costs money, you can always find writers who will write great articles for you on any topic for a reasonable fee.

Websites such as Elance.com or Guru.com are full of writers who are hungry for writing tasks. Once you have 10, 20, or 30 articles written over time, you can submit them weekly to any of the hundreds of article directories online, or submit them directly to ezine publishers.

The goal is to get your content passed around all over the internet, and article directories do that well... but there are other ways you can do it much more effectively.

Nowadays, there are websites such as MySpace, Facebook, and blogs you can put your articles on, and have them INSTANTLY viewed by potentially millions of users, instead of having to wait for a publisher to share them.

These are called Web 2.0 websites because they're the next generation of internet tools. Dr. Joe Vitale wrote one blog article once, submitted it to a Social Bookmarking website, and generated 20,000 visitors to his site in just a few days!

Now this takes some practice and discipline, but you can certainly start generating fast traffic to your site in no time with these Web 2.0 tools. To learn exactly how to use these tools, check out the new Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 and additional bonus trainings.
