Can A Single Super-Performing Online Article Actually Bring You Tons Of Mindshare, Fame, Or Cash?

Randy Ingermanson explains how to write super performing articles

I'm Randy Ingermanson, and I'm the author of 6 award-winning novels.

I publish the largest electronic newsletter in the world on the craft of writing fiction. My free Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine has over 8000 readers and is growing rapidly.

How did my e-zine get to be #1 in the world only 15 months after I launched it?

Simple. I have a free article on my web site, my world-famous "Snowflake article", on how to write a novel using my "Snowflake method." People all over the world use my method to help them design and write their novels.

This free article draws in monstrous numbers of people every day. In recent months, this page has been viewed by more than 10,000 people per month. In the runup to the last National Novel Writing Month last year, it drew 17,000 viewers. For one article!

Here is a graph showing the cumulative number of page views my "Snowflake article" has attracted since I launched it a few years ago:

The Snowflake article is a high-performing article! It's what I call a "SuperArticle." Month after month, year after year, this SuperArticle brings people to my web site. They like what they see, so they stay and read what I have to say. And then they sign up for my free Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine.

My Snowflake SuperArticle has brought me three things:

  • Mindshare
  • Fame
  • Money

Let me elaborate on those:

"Mindshare" means that people all around the world are talking about my idea. They use my Snowflake method to write their novels. They discuss it on forums and email loops.

"Fame" means that people know who I am. I'm known all over the planet as "the Snowflake Guy." My Snowflake method has made me famous in my niche.

"Money" means money. I've earned thousands of dollars in speaking fees because I'm the Snowflake Guy and people want to hear me speak. I've earned tens of thousands of dollars in product sales because people know I'm the real deal -- that I create excellent products on the craft of writing fiction.

What I've done isn't rocket science. I've done what all those expensive internet marketing people tell you to do. I made a bunch of mistakes along the way, and those slowed me down. But I also did a whole boatload of things right.

You could write a SuperArticle too!

Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, you've got something to tell the world, right? You could write a SuperArticle on some aspect of your message. You could grab mindshare with that SuperArticle. You could gain fame. You could even earn some filthy lucre, if you're not above that sort of thing.

I can teach you how. I've analyzed exactly what I did right (and what I did wrong) and put it all together in a 32-page Special Report, titled "Super Performing Articles." You could read this Special Report in half an hour and write your own SuperArticle in a week. Then with a little work promoting it (I'll show you how), you could watch your SuperArticle start bringing in more and more traffic to your web site or blog.

You can do this! It would cost you a few hours of effort to do it, and the payoff could be huge. Huge!

I jammed out my original Snowflake SuperArticle in a couple of hours. I did only a little promotion for it. And the thing has performed like a rocket. Look at the graph above. My Snowflake SuperArticle has brought in over 300,000 people to my web site. And it's tireless. Month in, month out, whether I'm asleep or awake, whether I'm writing a novel or teaching at a conference or gone on vacation, my SuperArticle brings people to me.

With every new person who comes to my site, I get a little more mindshare, a little more fame, and a little more cash. And it just goes on and on and on. That SuperArticle sits there on my site, doing all the work, while I collect all the benefits. That's a great deal for me.

Do you want that? I bet you do. I bet you've got what it takes to do something similar in your own niche. No, I'm not worried about you competing with me. Why should I? You've got your niche; I've got mine. We don't compete.

But what if you're a novelist? Will a SuperArticle help you?

Yes! You can write a SuperArticle even if you're a novelist. I'm a novelist, after all. I intend to write SuperArticles to help me promote every novel I ever write from now on. Because now I know how.

Here's what you get in my Special Report, "Super Performing Articles":

You may be asking, "Why so cheap? $7 is barely the cost of one fast-food lunch!"
