Bum Marketing Methods - How To Make Money Online Writing Articles

Have you heard of Bum Marketing? If you haven't then you are probably new to Internet Marketing. Bum Marketing is a powerful and proved technique that has been used successfully by thousands of Internet Marketers over the years to generate income online.

The best part about Bum Marketing is that it is a no risk strategy that anyone and everyone can take advantage of.

Before writing articles, you should do research.

First, analyze the competition in Google for the keywords you are writing the articles on. However don't spend too much time on keyword research. Use your common sense as you do keyword research. You can do keyword research using Google Keyword Tool.

Take advantage of the hot selling products on Clickbank.com and Commission Junction and write articles on the product. In your article you should focus on the following.

What are the product features?
How does the product have an advantage over its competitors?
What are the benefits of using the product?
What needs of the customer does the product satisfy?

Churn out articles regularly. Don't spend a lot of time thinking what to write. Just start writing, you need not be a top notch writer, write your articles in a conversational manner. You should plan on writing at least 5 articles everyday.

Don't write lengthy articles. Instead of writing a 1000 word article, split the article into two. Even better create multiple accounts online with the article directories and tweak your articles so that you have a better chance of being listed in Google.

Avoid submitting the same articles to different article directories because it affects your article ranking.

Apart from ezine and goarticles, you should also write articles on Squidoo. Squidoo is very popular among Google Page rankings and you should add a RSS Module once you complete your lens to generate greater traffic to your articles.

Remember that Bum Marketing is the best technique for Internet Marketers. There is absolutely no reason for you to give up on Bum Marketing. Article Marketing remains the most powerful technique used by many to generate income online and you can do it as well.

Article Submission Software Skyrocket Sales!

Article submission software has to be the best tool ever created for article marketing. If you have been an article marketer for half your life, you would probably know the ills of article submission. Not only that, you also do understand fully how effective marketing with articles is. Let us start counting the ills of manual article submission and see if we are better off combining article marketing with article submission software.

Why is manual article submission so frustrating and painful?

Flash back a few years ago, article submission software was not in existent. Manual article submission to article directories or article submission websites was the only way. In fact, it does lots of good for our websites by bringing in targeted visitors who eventually either buy our products or subscribe for our services. You see, submitting free articles to free article directories are simple if we do so for one or two websites. But the problem is it is a real dread to submit to dozens or hundreds of article submission websites. And even every street dog knows that you have to submit to as many of them as possible in order to gain the most exposure. Thats the trouble.

No.1 Article Submission Headache Submitting Articles to Hundreds of Websites

I have done this before numerous times. Sat still in my seat in the morning and submit to 100 over websites each time I write an article. By the time I finished, the sun had set and my bum was sore.

No.2 Article Submission Headache Formatting Articles for Submission

I wish all article directories use the same article format. Each article directory tries to be unique. And I mean there is nothing wrong with that. But poor article marketers like me have to format my article, resize them, remove html, add html, change the number of links, copy and paste and reorder text for each different article submission website. Sometimes we really feel like article formatting robots.

No.3 Article Submission Headache Boring Monotony

Time is precious and we all prefer to do something more challenging rather than to face the computer the whole day doing data entry. Submitting articles by hand is one of the most boring tasks ever for the life of an internet marketer or webmaster. Find me an article marketer who enjoys submitting articles manually without the help of article submission software and you would have struck gold!

Fortunately, some smart software engineers came up with powerful article submission software to rescue us. These software totally changed and revolutionized the way articles are marketed. Firstly, submitting articles to hundreds of websites can be done in a fraction of time. Some article submission software also have built-in features that modify your articles into the correct article format before submitting to each individual article directory. And the most beautiful part is all these can be done while you are sipping a cup of hot coffee and watching your favorite TV show.

This sounds incredible but it is truly happening today. Many internet marketers and webmasters like us are using powerful article submission software to drive endless streams of traffic and injecting more sales each day.

Quick Article Marketing- 6 Quick Steps to Article Marketing

If you have a website, nothing may be as important to you as attracting quality traffic. One of the best ways to do just that is to use quick article marketing. Article marketing means that you submit articles that are relevant to you website and distribute them online. The result is that people read your articles and then are directed to your website. If you wish to get started in article marketing, here are six quick steps.

1. Write for quality, not quantity. There is so article marketing on the Internet these days, and the vast majority of it is junk. The articles that attract the most attention and rise to the top of online tiers are ones that are well-written, original, informative and interesting. You could submit 100 junk articles that wouldnt do as much for your business as one high quality article that gets a lot of coverage.

2. Have a good headline. The article headline is 90% responsible for how much traffic and distribution the article will get. Keyword optimization always helps.

3. Make sure you include some active URLs at the bottom of your article with your companys name. This will help tremendously in generating traffic and links.

4. Be consistent. Just like any other kind of advertising, quick article marketing needs to be done on a consistent basis to keep generating results.

5. Submit articles to a small list of relevant publishers. This is much more effective than sending them to lots of irrelevant publishers.

6. Keep the articles reasonably short. You want the reader to get to the bottom of the page and see your website link.

How To Get Your Articles Published Online

Article marketing, using articles to boost your traffic and sales, is one of the most effective online marketing strategies you can use. Why you ask? Because articles are the perfect marketing tools for promoting any website or product.

However, it is not just simply a matter of throwing a few words together on a webpage and hoping for the best. To effectively use articles as marketing tools you must follow some simple procedures and practices in order to get your articles published online and in ezines more often.

Here are some article marketing tips you can try. These methods are proven and have worked for thousands of professional online marketers including the one writing this piece.

Why Articles Work

But before we start, you must understand why articles are so crucial to your marketing in the first place. You must truly understand why and how articles work so effectively as marketing vehicles in our newly wired world. It all boils down to one word... information.

The main reason articles work is information. The whole Internet is based on information. People use the web to access information and your well written article can help satisfy this need. You must place your article squarely into this whole information cycle.

Your article must be informative and provide some benefit to the reader. Tips, advice, how-to... your reader should gain something from spending a few minutes reading your article. The more beneficial your article, the more popular it will become and you will have a better chance of getting it published.

Title & Keywords

Your article title should contain two vital elements: Keywords and Benefits. Your title must contain your keywords or keyword phrases, these are the exact words someone types into the search engines to find what they are looking for on the web.

You must find the exact words people are using and include these in your title as well as in your article. Many professional marketers use keyword research software like Keyword Elite but you can also use free keyword suggestion tools like WordTracker or Overture: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

I find short catchy titles are best for capturing the attention of the reader. With our split second surfing habits, the title may be your only chance you get to hook your readers and keep them on your page. Another tactic is to make all your articles easily scannable with your main points highlighted for quick absorption.

Length

Most experts suggest you keep your articles short, in the 500 - 700 word range. Many authors/marketers use even shorter formats in the 200 - 300 word range in order to fit neatly on webpages.

I personally have found my more meatier articles in the 900 - 1200 word range have worked the best for me and seems to get featured in important ezines like Addme, SiteProNews... more often than shorter articles. My best advice is to cut out any unnecessary fluff but write in your own natural style which is comfortable for you.

Submission

You must distribute your articles on the web. You can personally submit your articles to the many article directory sites on the web or you can purchase a service which does this for you. I do both.

I personally submit my articles to the major high PR6 or PR7 sites which display my articles. I have found articles placed on Ezinearticles.com, Buzzle.com, Goarticles.com, Articlealley.com, Promotionworld.com, Thumbshots.org, Site-reference.com, Ideamarketers.com, Selfgrowth.com... do extremely well.

I would suggest you use 9 or 10 of these highly popular sites to display your articles, not only for the traffic they deliver but for increasing your rankings in the search engines, especially Google.

I have also found using a paid online service like SubmitYourArticle is really helpful, especially when I am on vacation or away from my computer for any length of time. I also use this service to quickly write different versions of my articles for the best search engine optimization. I am also concerned with covering different article lengths because many webmasters will only publish short articles.

Resource Box/Anchor Text

Your resource box is at the end of each article and this is where you place URLs for those all important One-Way links back to your site. Many marketers are careful to place their targeted keywords and variations in the anchor text of their links. It is also a good idea to provide some benefit or free gift to enhance your 'call to action' and improve your chances of getting that all important click.

Be Consistent

I have found a steady supply of fresh articles on a regular basis works the best. These articles keep your site or products fresh in the search engines and in front of your potential customers and editors/webmasters who publish your content. Try for at least two articles per week.

Own List of Editors

Along the same lines, build your own opt-in list of editors and webmasters who have opted in to receive your latest articles. Send a copy of your article to these interested parties and you will increase your chances of getting your articles published.

I also make it a point of including my most popular articles in my own ezines and blogs. This helps to kickstart or launch my newest articles.

Autoresponders

Many marketers place their articles in autoresponders so anyone requesting your article can easily use email to retrieve it. Many marketers also use RSS feeds to distribute their articles. If doing your own feeds seems too complicated, then just use any of the major article directories like Ezinearticles which will supply you with a convenient RSS feed for your articles.

Spam Check Your Articles

I always make it a point of testing my articles for any words or phrases that will trigger the spam filters and block my articles. This is extremely important if you want your article to be featured in ezines and newsletters. I check my articles within my Aweber autoresponder service but you can use a free SpamCheck service offered by SiteSell: http://bizwaremagic.com/spamcheck.htm

Personality

Articles that show some originality and personality have worked the best for me. Showing and telling your own story and experiences in a light hearted way seems to work really well in the somewhat impersonal online world. Having a sense of humor also helps, try to make your articles entertaining as well as informative and your articles will be picked up more often.

Conclusion

Writing unique informative articles is one of the most effective ways to market on the web. Remember to keep your articles informative, personable, keyword rich, short and to the point. Take a pro-active approach to promoting your articles: submit them to the major online article directories, send them to editors and webmasters who request content from you and place your articles on your site, in your blogs and RSS feeds.

Used properly, articles can be effective marketing tools for boosting both your traffic and sales. Perhaps the best part of all, article marketing is completely free. What more can you ask for?

For Affective Online Advertising Write An Affective Subject Line

Being the Associate Director for an online business that puts businesses' products and services in front of thousands of potential consumers on a daily basis, I am constantly getting emails from our customers, and those looking to become our customers, on how to write an affective Internet promotion on our web site.

More specifically, how to write an affective headline or subject line that will really draw in a customer to investigate what you have to offer. That is what I am going to focus on in this article segment, the `art` of writing and developing a quality online promotion or advertisement subject line.

At any given time, we have thousands of promotions placed in over 4 dozen categories, through out over 20,000 cities worldwide. I have had the privilege of seeing some really good promotions and some really bad ones. Here is what I noticed. Let me start with talking about the bad subject lines I have read.

One thing the bad promotions all have in common in regards to their subject line is unrealistic over hype. I can`t tell you how much head shaking I do when I see a customer place an promotion, without asking us for advice first, and then write a headline that is so incredibly bad. I have seen things such as "Make millions today!", and "Click here for the greatest product ever!". Those are some of the worse headlines you can write. They are over dramatic and anyone with a half a brain knows they are unrealistic and a waste of time to look at.

Your headline or subject line should read something more realistic, yet `hook` your potential customer in reading further into your advertisement. A good advertisement would be, "We are Looking for Partners in Business", or "Our New Product Makes Cooking Easier", or something along those lines. You will have to tailor your online subject for what it is that you are selling or providing.

Keep in mind you have one line, sometimes with only up to 50 characters to hook the reader. Don`t over hype what is in the rest of your promotion with a gaudy headline. Make it simple, yet will intrigue the potential customer. In turn it will trigger their inner feelings to want to know more about what is in the rest of the promotion.

For an affective online advertising campaign, there are three separate parts, the subject line, which we have already touched on, the subject matter and then finally the close. In our next article segment we are going to go in depth about writing an affective promotion in your subject matter. I can tell you from our own business that we offer robust web tools so you can really make your subject matter shine. However, beyond the bells and whistles, you still need to make the content of that ad, reader friendly. With good promotion content, the reader, your potential customer, will get excited about what it is your offering. One they are excited you need to pull them in with the close, which will be part three in our article segments, in place online promotions.

Now you can start with a better understanding of approaching an affective online promotion, knowing that you need a subject line that will hook, not over hype, the potential customer.

21 Ways for Content-Sites to Increase and Monetize Traffic

Go Social! Tap into the social marketing trend which is taking over the net. There are a variety of tools and platforms to take advantage of.

Social Bookmarking. On the landing page for your content, you should have an addthis.com link to allow users to bookmark your website using their social bookmarking tool of choice. This can allow for viral exposure of your content.

Send to friend. Create a send to friend feature to allow users to evangelize your own content within their personal network.

Open Social / Facebook Application. Create an application for these two popular standards which will open up your application to be viewed on the top 10 highest trafficked sites on the internet - which are all mostly social networking sites. The application can expose your content and also allow users to interact with comments or ratings. Again, you will convert casual viewers into interested fans who want to come back to your website.

Create social networking profiles. Create profiles on popular social networks such as myspace, facebook, and orkut. Dedicate an internal resource to update the profile frequently with new videos, add friends to your network, and see the interest in your brand and the visits to your website increase.

Think outside the browser. As internet users continue to consume information and interact with the web in new ways, you need to be prepared to tap into that and offer your services and information in an increasingly variety of formats - mobile and email are a few good ones for starters.

SMS Contests. Like American Idol, you can incorporate SMS polling into your existing live events.

SMS Marketing - same concept but sending videos by SMS to mobile devices.

Mobile site. Create a mobile version of your website for on-the-go viewing.

Email Marketing. Create daily or weekly alerts to be sent out by email to your most loyal user base. Members will enjoy the email and will be reminded to come back to your site daily. Its great to get a new visitor to your website, but if you get a new email address, you can continue to market to that person for years, and even for a marginally interested person, get hundreds or thousands of site visits from them, simply because you have the ability to continue to communicate with them.

User-generated Content. The good news is that users want to contribute to your website, they're ready and waiting to add valuable content to your website for you. The catch is that you have to put some time into thinking what are the most appropriate ways to offer these opportunities to your audience. And also, you don't want to do this in a vacuum, because it will take a while for enough users to contribute their own content, so you will need to continue supplying the content until your user-base takes off.

Upload pictures / videos. Create contests around popular themes on your site.to encourage users to submit their own videos and pictures to the site. Announce the winner on your live event.

Incentivize by Participation. Your viewers want to participate with your website. By creating contests and user submission campaigns, you will give users a reason to visit the website. Create a contest themed around one of your categories of content.

Classifieds. Create a classified section to allow visitors to interact with eachother and form a community on your website.

Audio / Video. As more and more video websites are gaining popularity and being invested in by large corporations, its not hard to see where the future of information consumption will be. The good news is that tools for creating your own audio and video are increasingly more affordable and accessible. Here's how to leverage your audio/video:

Embeddable Video Player. Leverage existing video content by adding a video player with embedded advertising. Allow users to embed this video into their website, blog or myspace page to share revenue by an affiliate program. Leverage the long-tail effect of users sharing your content within their own networks. Although you may be weary of giving out your content for free, people will always want to come back to your website to get the full experience of your brand, so you need not be worried.

Increase exposure of web content. Place teaser video clips on Youtube and other popular video sharing sites, to tap into the large user bases on those sites and convert them into fans and frequent visitors of your website.

Flash Media. If you're still using windows media as a video player or audio player, stop right now! Standardize your video to flash video format and get rid of windows media player

Create a video montage. Gmail did a similar campaign (http://mail.google.com/mail/help/gmail_video.html) where they encouraged viewers to submit videos with certain parameters, and they stitched all the videos together into an interesting and funny montage.

And more! Here are some additional weapons to add to your arsenal.

SEO Optimization. For the purposes of greater exposure to search engines, each piece of content, whether text, audio, pictures, or video should have its own separate landing page. Its OK to have a player on the home page which allows the user to conveniently browse all the videos on your site, but a link should be available to a dedicated page for each video with a good URL structure. Some suggestions for additional features on this page are user comments and related videos.

Adwords campaigns. The key here is the customized landing page - you need to take the time to figure out a very specific target that you want to market to and create campaigns along those lines.

Interactive game. Create a flash video game tailored to the interests of your viewers.

Live events. Create live events centered around your content. If you have video content, these can be live webcasts. If audio, they can be live teleconferences. If it is simply written content, create a chat room and announce a time when you will be online, live, available for question and answer.

RSS Feeds. Create feeds to syndicate your content in this popular format. There are many aggregators which will pick up your content and a growing user base of information consumers who prefer to consume news, videos, and photos through the convenience of an RSS reader.

Blogging. Dedicate an internal resource to write blog posts frequently. Search engines love blogs and you will be rewarded with traffic for well-written and frequent blog posts.

Article Marketing - Should Be Reader Friendly

Article marketing is an excellent method of increasing traffic to your site. There are a lot of writers out there who are talented and can write articles for your site. With a large pool of potential employees who usually work free-lance, this is a marketing campaign that a site can undertake with little financial risk. You hire a person to develop creative content that will draw online surfers to your site. This small investment is an opportunity to increase site traffic as well as your search engine rating.

Article marketing, is placing your articles in online article directories for everyone to read. These articles usually will have a link to your own website at the bottom, with a photo and a short biodata about you. If someone reads your article and clicks on the backlink, your website gets traffic. Your article has to be impressive enough to induce the visitor to click on the backlink.

You can be successful if you remember a few things. You have to compose copy that reflects your readers' concerns. Perhaps you can inform your audience about a previously unpublicized service or give them pointers on how to do something for themselves. You want to create one-of-a-kind articles to get their attention, and unique content is what accomplishes that.

Use words that are easy for your readers to comprehend. Avoid flowery phrases that may tax the ordinary person's vocabulary. Avoid complicated concepts as well. Define any words you think will stump your audience. You can render copy more readable if you use boldfaced headings and bullets in front of the items on your lists. You want to offer your audience useful information and communicate to them that you have expertise pertinent to the topic.

As soon as your copy is prepared for publication, put it on a popular article directory. This is a kind of site that solicits columns from authors of all nations throughout the globe. It provides room for your contact information and for a backlink. It is crucial to post your copy on more than one directory at a time in order to raise your internet profile and generate more visitors to your site.

Article marketing can periodically fail to generate the funds it promises. A poorly written article will not attract viewers. The writer must possess rudimentary literary skills. The abrupt disappearance of the writer from the internet may also contribute to lack of income. Article writers must consistently provide new articles with fresh ideas. For a productive and gifted writer, article marketing is a great way to make a living.

In today's technologically driven world there are many ways to earn money through Internet and article writing is one of them. Many article writers are happy writing content for websites. If you engage yourself in article marketing, then your article will pay you as long as it is present on the site. Write something your reader is interested in. Your subject matter can be about a little-known but useful service or a self-help guide, a how-to article or handy hints about something. If your unique articles contain stimulating information, their unique content is sure to arouse your reader's interest. Write in a reader-friendly language and style.

Let us look at the reason why article directories may want to publish your articles for free. The main reason is that they have advertising on the website. So the more content that they have the more visitors they will receive from search engines. Consequently this means that they will receive more advertising impressions and more clicks from their adverts.

Another significant benefit is that your articles will be picked up by other websites as they publish it. Increasing your link popularity and your search engine rankings.

I am sure by now you may be asking a very important question. What article directories should I submit to? In my experience you only need to submit to Ezine Articles. You can submit a few articles to some of the other article directories to increase your link popularity, but they receive a lot less traffic.

Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

My Article Marketing Process, From Beginning to End I

This article is designed to tell you exactly how I do my article marketing, just the way I do it everyday.

I identify a niche. That's kind of a basic level--I did that nine months ago. I know what my niches are so I write around those niches.

The second thing that I'll do is write out my twenty article titles for the day so that I don't have to keep getting creative. I'll do this all in Word, so that I can add to it. I will write out twenty different things that I want to write about today.

So for example, I will type in: "Article-writing, Article-marketing, List-building, Email-marketing, Niche-building, Internet-coaching." I will come up with twenty different things. That's my first step in my creative process. Then I'll go back in and I'll ask myself a question--I'll either ask about something.

For example, Article-writing. I know that I've written a couple of articles about Duplicate-content. I'll go ahead and write the title out: "Article-writing, How to avoid the duplicate-content penalty in Article Marketing." I'll go through and write a title for every single one of them. Then I'll go back in and start writing each article.

Sometimes, you'll run out of ideas. You'll get to two-hundred words and you'll just stop. Go to the next article. Write on that one. When you're finished writing that one, go back and finish the article that you've just done. I do it almost like an assembly-line system. It's almost like an assembly-line. When I'm writing these articles, a lot of times I will close all other windows--all other browser windows, on my computer. I won't answer any emails.

I won't answer the telephone if it rings. I'm just very, very, very focused on writing those articles. So the number two step is to write the articles.

Internet Marketing Success Secrets - How To 'Siphon' Time For Your Internet Business

It's a common complaint among many people that they 'don't have time'. That's nonsense, if you ask me. We all have time. We are all each given 24 hours a day. The exact number of hours, minutes and seconds. Hence, the only reason why we might not find time to do something that will make a difference in your life is only you yourself.

The only way you can make time for yourself is to take action. Eliminate the fluff from your daily activities and you will suddenly find you have an abundance of time. It's all about self-control and discipline. Tell yourself, how badly do you really want success? If you want it badly, you would sacrifice a few things to get to where you want. Or you will prove to yourself you are not cut out for it.

Here is how to 'siphon' some time to work on your business:

1. Wake Up One Hour Earlier

The time before dawn is one of the most productive times to work on your Internet business. Nobody is awake at the time, there is no traffic on the roads, and it is quiet. It's perfect for working and there are no distractions to move you away from your tasks. Try waking up one hour earlier and see how much more work you are able to put in.

2. Sacrifice Some TV Time

Sacrifice some of your TV time to work on your business. I enjoy watching TV but I try to limit my time to spent on it to no more than 2 hours a day. If you spend just 5 hours less time watching TV every week, that's 20 hours of more precious time (almost a day more!) to work on your business every month.

3. Focus On One Task At A Time

Multi-tasking is over-rated. Sure, sometimes you will need to multi-task. But focus is always better. Do one task at a time, and do it well. Imagine if you were writing an important email while instant messaging and listening to music all at the same time, would you be able to make a good job out of it? More likely than not, it will take longer for you to complete that task and it will be a poorer effort. Do one thing at a time, and make it excellent.

One Way Links - The Best Way To Get A Bunch Of Them

Everyone who has been a webmaster for some time or has read about it probably already knows that getting one way links to your web site is the single most important step in boosting your site up in search engines results pages (SERPs). Search engines just love these type of links, as they see them as votes to your page. If many people are voting to you by adding links to your site, than you must be some kind of an expert in your niche, and that is why Google and other search engines rank you higher in SERPs. They love experts, they love to give knowledge to people who are searching for information.

That said, you must ask yourself what is the best way to get bunch of one way links? Well the answer is writing articles. That is right, write articles about whatever you are expert on. And you do not need to be an expert to write articles, you just have to put some value in your article, to interest the readers, and there you have it, you have their attention, they believe you, and they will trust you when you tell them how to fix their problem, or give them great advice.

So, first, you have to find some niche that suits you best, something that you are good at, something that you like, maybe a hobby, or maybe something that you are familiar with. It is not difficult, just ask yourself what can you offer to help others. Be sure to include a link somewhere in a body of an article, and the anchor text (link text) should be main keyword phrase of your page.

Next thing you need to do is find article directories and lots of them. Just Google it. I am not going to tell you what are the best article directories, as you probably know, since you are reading this article. Create accounts and submit your articles. And thats it. Now you need to wait and see the results. And the results are great, I can tell you. For submitting your articles in article directories, you will get links from directories, and that is already very good for SEO. But the real power is in article distribution, and the variety of websites that are linking to you. So, for doing a fifteen minutes writing, you can get thousands of one way links, the best kind. It just can't get better than that!

Directory and Article Submissions for Link Building

Those webmasters searching to gain an edge on their competition are looking for ways to rank in search engines. A couple of the more popular ways of increasing your search results are by submitting your website for inclusion in Quality Directories and writing and submitting articles related to you niche. Here are a few rules for submitting your content.

The main benefits you receive when submitting your website to Quality Directories for review are traffic from the directory and a back link that will help your website rank higher in relevant search results. The general rule is that the more quality and relevant links you have, the higher you will climb in search engine results for relevant searches.

The first thing that you need to do prior to submitting your website for review in Quality Directories is to create the submission information. That means anchor text, keywords and site description.

The anchor text that you choose should contain varied keywords that you are targeting to increase search engine rankings with. Come up with many variations of anchor text to be used for different submissions. The text should be relevant to the site and not be too long or it may be considered keyword stuffing and be declined or altered by the Directory.

Your site description should be anywhere from 150 - 450 characters long. Do not use hype or make it sound like an advertisement. Just make it a nice description of your site. Make sure that you use proper grammar when writing it.

For keywords take five of the most important keywords you are targeting and place them here separated by a comma. Some directories may not provide a space for this and whether they do or not is really not all that important.

Article directories can also benefit your directory with link building. Some article directories will allow up to3 hyper links back to your site from the resource box from every article you submit. Often they will also allow for deep linking to pages within your site. The article itself will create content for the back link that is relevant to your website.

There are a few guidelines that you should follow when submitting articles to article directories. First just make sure your article is not already published there. Then make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors in your article. Fill out all the fields for the article submission when you submit it and select the most relevant category for your articles content.

By using these tips for submission you should be able to use these methods successfully for your link building campaign. They can guide you in the process to increase your acceptance rate with directory and article submissions. As your submissions to quality directories and article websites are accepted, indexed and your link count rises you will see that your search engine results are going to rise proportionally.

Link building is not a quick process, but a prolonged and ongoing process. By staying on task you will be able to attain your goals with a consistent, hard approach.

Advertising Secrets Exposed - How to Conquer & Secure Your Advertising and Promotional Game

It's the goal of many businesses, perhaps even all of them. It's the Holy Grail, the advertising campaign that brings you the maximum sales for the minimum investment. But make no mistake; the smart money is on a planned approach using the key points listed below. Even if advertising is still as much an art as a science, don't let that put you off digging for the facts and using a rational approach.

Your marketing plan is the first step. Don't have one? The now is a good time to make one. Your marketing plan will essentially say what kind of customer you want to attract, what your offering will do to gain that customer's interest and how you will promote and fulfill the sale that you make. It doesn't have to be complex. Some of the best marketing plans get written on the back of an envelope and it's this simplicity that helps them drive business success.

Next up is your advertising strategy. It's a bit like betting on horses. And if you've ever placed bets on horses, you'll probably know at least one thing: intuition and hunches are dangerous things! Advertising, like horses, need a careful look at the facts and the statistics so that you can then put your money on the option that really is the best bet.

The amount of money you want to spend also needs to be defined. It can differ widely from a few percent to almost half of the revenue. It'll depend on your business and the return that you can get on your investment. Consider aspects like repeat sales that you might make with customers. If they are likely to come back to you time and time again, you can justify a higher ad spend to get them on board.

Advertising copy has to be top notch as well. Let's not confuse top notch with super expensive. It may be a case of clearly and simply articulating your business philosophy (for example, "We make and supply superb art reprints that are guaranteed to fit in with your home". Resist the temptation to get tricky, at least until you've got some solid advertising working for you. Tricky or obscure advertising appeals to a very limited market at best.

Finally, track what you do and the results that it brings you. This is why you wrote your marketing plan, you defined your advertising strategy and you laid aside your hunches. Tracking is what will let you see where your money is working and where it is not. That means you can switch your expenditure to the advertising that works.

People who may have the best intentions in the world will often offer their opinion about what advertising you should do. Compare what they say with what you see going on around you, but always come back to the facts that you know to be true. That way, even if there is no "one size fits all" solution in advertising, you'll at least be pointed in the right direction.

Bum Marketing Method Exposed - Why I Market Exclusively With Articles Part 2

Now that I have some of the basics explained I will continue with this series of articles. Just to refresh what we have gone through previously is that you need to note that most important ingredient to succeeding online is to take massive action.

So let us look at what your very first step is going to be. When you are first starting out on the internet it is going to be very overwhelming to design and create your own products as this takes a lot of work. Usually it would have taken a creator hundreds or thousands of hours to finish a professional product. They also spend countless hours maximizing their sales copy so that they make the most sales for every visitor. After this they also need to provide professional customer support which is very time consuming.

So your very first step is to choose a niche market where you can market a profitable affiliate program. A niche market is a market that supplies a product where the volume of sales would be too small to justify a big company entering the market. This kind of market is ideal for your home based internet business.

I suggest you pick an idea that you enjoy or that you are interested in as you are going to working with this for a very long time. So for example if you enjoy photography then you need create a website on digital photography and sell digital cameras as your affiliate products.

So once you have chosen your niche market you need to start preparing to write articles solving specific problems for that niche market that will help to drive traffic to your website and establish you as the expert in that specific niche.

Here's your chance to drive massive traffic to your web site:
