If you need to get more website traffic then you can’t go wrong with an article submission strategy. Article directories are a wonderful source of targeted traffic but to get the most out of your strategy you need to write frequently. Here’s how you can write 100 high quality articles in just three months to kick start your web traffic.
1. Set yourself a deadline and stick to it.
It is entirely possible to write 100 articles in three months so count three months ahead in your calendar and circle the deadline with a fat red pen.
You might find it helpful to count down the days, wither by marking off your calendar or by adding a countdown clock to your computer’s desktop.
2. Stick to a niche that you have an interest in
I’m assuming that you are passionate about the niche that your website relates to. If this is the case then you will find it much easier to write the 100 articles.
Remember you don’t need to think of 100 different topics to write about, in fact it is possible to write numerous articles on one topic if you approach it from different angles and use different article styles each time.
3. Break the elephant into burgers
Have you heard that saying about the easiest way to eat an elephant is by breaking it down into burgers?
If you sit there and think that 100 articles in three months is an unachievable task then you’ll never achieve it. But break the task down into days and suddenly you only need to write 1.1 articles each day.
Better still why not set yourself a target of writing two articles each weekday. That sounds more than doable and in fact you’ll be able to turn out 120 articles in three months!
4. Look for article templates
Article templates are a great way to inspire your writing. Pick a topic and then pick a template and away you go. Here are some to get you started, a Google search will reveal many more:
* Predictions
* How to
* Things I’ve learned
* The year in review
* Pain points
* Current events
5. Do some research
If you’re stuck for ideas the best inspiration can come from other people in your niche. Hang out in forums, read blog comments, search Twitter, visit Yahoo Answers. Just look for places where people are asking questions or sharing their problems and then write an article than gives them the solution that they’re looking for.
Just write those two articles every week day and before you know it you’ll have 120 articles all sending targeted traffic to your website. And even better than that you’ll have a wealth of information that you can recycle to get even more traffic. Offer to submit a guest post, use the information as the basis for forum posts, or even combine several articles into an eBook to giveaway or sell on your blog. The benefits of taking action for three months are endless.


Good Tips, Clare. I'm hoping to do something like this soon. I find it very difficult to motivate to write so having a challenge of some kind is a great way to force myself.
