SUBJECT: Answer Marketing Lesson #1 - Tap Into The 90 Million Users

{!firstname_fix}

One of the easiest ways to generate traffic to
your website is often one of the most overlooked
methods as well, Yahoo Answers. Not only is it a
simplified method of driving targeted traffic to
your site, it is also absolutely free to use.

And if you're still wondering whether Yahoo
Answers has a large enough user base to yield a
worthwhile response, here is what Yahoo Answers
has to say:

"With more than 21 million unique users in the
U.S. and 90 million worldwide, Yahoo! Answers is
the largest knowledge sharing community on the
Web."

If those numbers don't wake you up, I don't know
what will!

We'll get started by opening an account and
setting up our profile.

Step 1: Create An Account

You will need a Yahoo Answers account to be able
to answer open questions.

To create your account go to:
http://answers.yahoo.com

You will be able to create your account using
your current Yahoo messenger account if you
already have an ID:

Step 2: Complete Your Profile

Once you have created a Yahoo Answers account and
are logged in, you will be able to create or edit
your profile. You should take a few minutes to
fill out as much as information as you would like
to share and then save your information.

You can choose to allow Yahoo Answer members to
contact you via messenger, or keep this
information private. You can also enable “email
contact” if you would like to receive comments
via email, or you can choose to disable all
contact other than through the questions that you
answer.

When you edit your profile it is recommended that
you add a photo or customize an avatar. It’s
important to brand yourself and this is an easy
way to make your profile more memorable as your
photo will appear within your answers.

In the next email I'll walk you through the
actual site itself and how to go about promoting.
