Write Articles for Cash - The Details

It seems like it would be a simple matter. Write an article of two and then sit back and wait for the cash to roll in. Like they say, LOL. In reality, there are a lot of details to take care of. And if you really want to be successful writing articles for income, you need to focus on these details.

1. First and foremost, you need to have a list of products that you like and can recommend. It doesnt matter if they are your own or affiliate items. For each of these products, you will need the web page where the item is available using plain text (http://blah blah blah) and the page listing in html using a href. I like to have both versions available so that I can quickly cut and paste the information when Im writing an article. If you are promoting eight items, you have sixteen listings to keep track of.

2. Are you using pre-sale pages? This is a soft sell page that lists a number of features and benefits of the product and provides a number of links to the item. If you are using pre-sale pages, you will need to list the web-address for each item. Again, you will need plain text and html versions.

3. For each item you are promoting, you need to know if they have free downloadable reports available. For each report, you will need 2 web addresses, one plain text and one html.

4. If you are using affiliate products, you will need to know the web-address, your username, and password for each product you promote.

5. I like to keep track of how my articles are performing. In order to do this, I have two excel spreadsheets that I update every morning. These spreadsheets tell me which article directories are sending me the most traffic, which articles are getting the most page views, which articles are being published the most, and where Im getting the most URL Clicks. It sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but it is worth it.

So, if we are selling eight products, according to my count, that is about 80 details that we have to keep track of. Wow! I use a word document called Product to keep track of all that information. I post each item separately and list all of the details previously mentioned just below it.

By using this method, I can quickly and easily reference an item and use either the plain text or html version (depending on which method the site requires) of the address that I want to use in my article. If you take care of the details, the details will take care of you.

Making Money by Selling What You Have to Say

The best product to sell on the Internet is Information. By selling information, you will not have any inventory to keep track, and the profit margin for each sale is very high. You can start a business on the Internet by selling an information product like an e-book, which talks about a subject you know.

You can start selling on the Internet by building a website with advertising, affiliate links and associated products. After you have set up your website, focus on the basic, which is to drive traffic, traffic, and traffic. With the traffic, build up a quality list, and then try to convert your list subscribers to your customers.

Now I am going to share with you the steps in creating your own information product so that you can start your internet business right away.

1. Do a market research to find out the demand for a particular topic. You go to Yahoo Keyword Selector tool and enter your main topic; this will give you a list of searches related to your keyword - how many people searched for that term. It will also give you an idea of the profitability of your topic.

2. Conduct a competitive analysis before you decided to create the information product of your interest. Make use of Google and Clickbank to check that whether are there similar products on the Internet.

3. After you have done your analysis, create your information product and turn it into an e-book by converting to a .pdf file.

4. With your information product ready, it is now time to build your website. Your website needs to have at least 3 pages, the Opt-In Page, the Pitching Page, and the Thank You Page. The Opt-In Page is used to capture your visitors information like First Name and Email Address, where you can do promote other related affiliate products to them. The Pitching Page is where you sell your product, and the Thank You Page is where your customers download your products.

5. After your website is live on the Internet, the next thing you will need to do consistently is to drive traffic, but not any traffic, drive quality traffic. Using Google Adwords, which is a Pay-per-Click program, is a fast and good way to drive quality leads to your opt-in page.

6. Lastly, use other Internet marketing strategies to drive more targeted traffic to your website.

Do see your first sale; you will need to be persistent and patient. For one to make thousands of dollars from the Internet does not happen overnight. But it is definitely possible if you persist and do the right things.

The Fundamentals Of Writing 'Blockbuster' Articles

Article writing can be one of the most difficult jobs of an Internet entrepreneur, especially if you are just starting out writing articles. However, the process of writing articles can be easy by following a step-by-step formula. Once you follow a formula, writing an article can become easy and as you practice each day, it can even become second nature.

Before you write your article, you need to do your due diligence in researching the topic you are going to write about. The way to do this is easy: simply read two or three articles on the topic, and remember the main points that the articles mention. These will form the main points of your article. Do remember, though, not to plagiarize and copy those articles word for word. However, there is nothing illegal but using the ideas in the articles to write your own.

Your articles shouldnt be too long. Try to keep them to 5-6 paragraphs at most. It is preferable to use simple words rather than words which your reader might not understand. Sentences which are too long are also hard to understand. The best way to write articles fast is not to think too much about it. Just put your thoughts on paper and the article will flow well.

As with anything else, practice really makes perfect. The best way to learn about writing is to read articles first, so that you can tune your mind to write better articles. Using this simple formula, you should be able to start churning out your very own blockbuster articles.

Article Marketing

I've written tens of thousands of words for articles and many of my articles are on the Internet through article directories. Although I have only been doing article marketing for a short while, I have found it to assist me in building my list of subscribers.

People who search the internet for information are a targeted audience but are by no means a guarantee to building a list fast unless you write hundreds of articles in a short amount of time. You have to be satisfied to use the strategy of writing articles as a long term effective method of list building and creating credibility.

The downside is if you put too many articles on your website [not Internet through directories] too fast you could end up being blacklisted by the search engines as a suspected spammer. I haven't found this to be the case as yet, but you need be aware of it because see this as a risk.

The way articles work for building your business through directories is sound. When you write an article and submit it to directories you place links back to your website in a resource box [or bio as it is commonly referred to]. Website owners and e-zines writers use these articles as free content for their website or newsletter and their readers have access to your site through the resource box if they wish to read more about the subject you have written about.

This works because article directories require that the resource box is left in place when the article is published. You now have a one way link back to your site on your article in directories and also on other websites and in e-zines. Free advertising is good when it is highly targeted.

If you have a small budget this is an excellent way to go. Membership to article directories is usually free. All you have to do is be prepared to spend time to help yourself in the marketing game.

Is article marketing as good as they all seem to say? I don't believe so unless you have no other options available to you. Sure, you have to be involved in article marketing but it should only be used as one of many strategies to market. It is good to get inbound links to create leads and credibility. However, a word of warning. Don't rely on it to build your business fast without other strategies to support it.

Unlock The Secret Of Choosing A Profitable Niche Market For Your Article Marketing

Are you using the correct strategy for your article marketing? Many people when they first start doing article marketing want to write about anything. It is very important to target your articles to a very specific market.

When I first started marketing on the internet. I did everything right. I built my website and started driving traffic to it. Unfortunately this was all in vain. You see I could not actually monetize my traffic.

This is a common mistake for most people new to internet marketing. They will do everything right only to find out that they can't monetize their traffic.

So one of the very first steps that you need to do before you decide to stick to the article marketing niche that you are going to focus on writing articles for is the following. You need to send two hundred visitors to your sales page and if you receive no sales then it is unlikely that you will make money from this niche market.

Consequently this means that you need to find another topic to write articles on that you can monetize the traffic. Get this crucial step wrong and your internet business will crumble.

So let us look at the theory behind a niche market. You need to find a smaller segment of a mainstream market where the volume of sales is too small to justify a big competitor to enter that market. You also need to offer good customer service. This will allow you to generate repeat sales from loyal customers. This will earn you substantial profits in the future as it it is much easier to sell to an existing customer than to a new customer.

The better that you become at choosing a niche market to write articles on the more stable the foundations of your internet home based business will be.

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