Article Marketing - How to Become Independent of Ghostwriters

2008-02-22T01:31:00.000-08:00

The importance of article marketing on the internet is well known: by writing and submitting articles (with a link to your site) to directories, your site gets exposed to multitudes, which optimizes your searchability and earns you a reputation as a trusted resource.

But for many site owners who wish to maximize their exposure potential through article marketing, there's an extra cost to the process. Since they don't have the time or skill to put together an effective piece of writing, they outsource their work to ghostwriters. In addition to the money allocated, site owners pay a price when they hand their expertise over to someone else they sacrifice the originality and authority that only they can provide about their topic of mastery.

If you've been outsourcing because you're not confident in your writing capabilities, here are some tips that can help you restore your voice to your articles and web content.

Spend time planning your article. First, decide what you're trying to accomplish with your article. Write down what point you'd like to make to your readers. Then figure out how you would make this point break it down into steps. You can list these steps or draw them out visually using a mind map ( http://www.jcu.edu.au/studying/services/studyskills/mindmap ).

Write it out. Spill your ideas onto the screen or piece of paper, following the steps or map you have created. Just dump the ideas out don't worry about the language yet.

Go over what you've written. Read it out loud see how it sounds to you. Read it to a friend and get their feedback. Fine-tune it accordingly.

That's it. There's tons of material out there to show you what you might want to accomplish in a marketing article. Learn that stuff, but follow the steps above and you're on your way to writing success.

Hiring ghostwriters is often unnecessary. You can build your own writing potential to save yourself that additional cost.

Using Facebook For Marketing

2008-02-20T00:49:00.000-08:00

For whatever reason many internet marketers stay away from social networks on the internet. Why is that? Their claim is that the crowd that ‘hangs’ around these social networks are mainly high school and college students discussing boy/girl issues. However when taking a second look at these networks you will find that not only are high school and college students hanging out there – but also adults and professionals from all over the world and this crowd is just growing within these social network sites.

There are many social networks on the web and sometimes choosing the right one can be very confusing and at times frustrating. I have tested many of them and I have found facebook to be the most valuable when it comes to marketing my website.

Why facebook?

1] I have found the facebook crowd to be more professional, intelligent and mature.

2] I am receiving less spam then I was with other networks.

3] The general look of facebook is more mature and appealing to the adult crowd then other networks and this just attracts more and more people everyday. I think that on some levels because of this look - it also has an impact on the way people express themselves or even the things they post on facebook.

4] I found more people that I knew on facebook then on any other network. This gave me a push start in building my profile and network list.

5] I enjoy the many different ways facebook allows you to get the word out about whatever is on your mind and the beauty of this is – that anyone in your network can see your latest updates with the Mini Feed and News Feed the moment they sign in to view their profile. This means that everyone in your network is immediately updated on your latest activities.

6] I can spend weeks and months just building traffic via facebook marketing without spending a dime, just time.

7] The professional look of facebook it makes me feel like a pro as well.

Once I started getting into facebook I was really excited about marketing my website through facebook. I joined just about every group that had thousands of members and I just started bombing them with a link to my website. After facebook threatened to kick me off and close my account….. I took a few steps back to really understand how to make facebook work for me with out getting threatened to be kicked off.

Everyone thinks that “well, if I just post on this group that has 500,000 members I will for sure get at least 100,000 visitors today…” - it doesn’t work like that. Why not? Because I have found that the massive groups on facebook are not groups where people are active. It’s more like a one time shot thing – because everyone else is joining. I have found that the smaller groups are more valuable then the larger ones. When you join a group that is focused on a specific topic and you share your knowledge with that group this will help you build your credibility among the group members and eventually may lead to potential customers.
If your business is related to food – then joining a group related to soccer is just not relevant. When people see that you are constantly joining groups [and posting there as well] that are not related to your business they will stay away from you!

I also think that in your profile page try to share as much information about yourself, information that you feel will help your business. People would like to know a little bit about whom you are and where you are coming from. Try to add some projects in the past that you have worked on. Be open about your professional career.

Facebook gives you all the options of marketing: forum marketing, article marketing, building a mailing list with your network, and more.

Understanding the basics of facebook and how facebook really works can be very valuable to you and your business.

This can be done in many ways and I will just mention a few - article marketing, forum marketing, social group marketing etc... By sharing valuable information that you have.
Use these tools [forums, articles, social networks etc..] for marketing but don’t abuse them! When you 'spam' forums and social networks - don’t be surprised that you are not getting any traffic from them.
Spam in this case means that you post once and never show up again, it means that you join a discussion group that’s not related to anything and you start posting your website....
If you want visitors to your website, if you want to build an audience around your website - then you need to build trust & respect from your potential visitors.
Be a contributor - it may take more time but in the long run it’s worth it!

This Is How I Market My Website

2008-01-09T01:29:00.000-08:00

I have a website helpwithyouressay.com ; well actually my two partners and I have a website. We have been working on this for about four months. It’s a free information website, we finally launched our website a few weeks ago.

In my real job I work in the afternoon, so this gives me time in the morning to work on my own site, after I take the kid to his little nursery, I then come home, make coffee and sit in front of the computer till its time to pick him up.

Oh boy it can be frustrating! I want massive traffic to my site but dear lord HOW? Every day I find another article that will tell me “how to…” Everyday I will discover a new website…. then I find myself just sitting in from of the computer flipping through sites, watching some videos on Youtube , checking my email, checking the news…..Until I decided enough is enough!

Let’s get down to business! I aint no pro. I m just like almost everyone else – learning as I’m going.

I sat down and wrote out my marketing plan. First I understood that there are two aspects when it comes to driving traffic to a website. When I got that little “ka-ching!” in my head then I was able to get to work. Here it is: There is short term traffic and long term traffic. What is short term traffic? This is building up visitors, sending someone and email, posting on a yahoo group, craigslist – I do this to continue the steady flow of traffic to my site. When I send someone an email [from my own personal email contacts – over 300 people] they will usually click on the link, visit the site a page or two and then move one. In some cases they will bookmark the site if they like it. Then the email gets lost in their account. Same thing with posting on a related yahoo group – it gets lost after a few days with all the messages being posted on that group.
What is long term traffic? This is building up an audience around your website. This means that you need to invest a little more time in some areas – and yes its hard but its worth it in the long run. Like being involved in a social network like myspace or facebook. It means making friends on the web via internet forums and when I talk about internet forums I am saying is that you shouldn’t just post things like “ I have a new site! Visit my site today! here is the link!” - You know what that is? That’s called being an internet jerk. The whole idea of a forum is where people can share information with one another , information that is helpful. Get involved in some forums and share your knowledge with the world. Most forums allow you to put your URL as your signature. If you share your valuable information – people will trust you, they will become your followers. I have some “gurus” on the internet. I have never met them. They share such wonderful information that I almost every time visit their websites [ and click on one of their google ads!] and maybe even buy something. Why? Because I trust them, I admire them. Remember this rule: People like nice people.

I decided that I need to create an action plan for myself or I will never get things done!

Sunday morning [my wife is watching the baby] I usually do a round of yahoo group postings. Before launching out site, I joined a bunch of yahoo groups that are related to my website. Then I write something up about my website and I just copy and paste it on every group that I am member of. Now some yahoo groups won’t allow you to just promote your site – so I get involved in the discussion and I add my link at the end.
By doing this I am working on the short term traffic. Then I will go to facebook, I have created a profile and a groupie for my website on facebook. I make friends over facebook and invite them to join my website group. I am very careful about spamming other people. So what I do is I search for people I know and then I approach there networks by asking “hey I am a friend of Joe, I am looking to build my network …” So they know right away that I am not some random unknown guy who trying to spam them. In 99% of the cases people have agreed since they know Joe and trust him. On my facebook group I try to make it interesting. I post music videos, updates about my site, interesting articles…. This is building my long term traffic. I am building a community of people around my site. I try to focus on one social network, If you try more then that – you will go crazy! Focus your energy on one spot and own it!

Comes Monday I focus on Forums. I try to write up an interesting article and then I post it in different forums, I try to create something that has valuable information and that it could start a discussion. Then I will go back and get involved in some discussion groups. Remember: The link to my site is my forum signature. So this really takes up Monday morning.

Tuesday! Social book marketing day! This day always brings us good traffic. We get involved in our social book marketing sites – Stumbleupon.com, Digg.com, Del,icio.us
We stumble, make friends and get involved. This is great for short and long term traffic.

Wednesday is Link exchange day. I have decided that link exchanging really needs a separate day. This is can really drive in long term traffic. When your link is sitting on another popular website – this can really drive in traffic. The beauty of this is – you don’t have to do anything! I also try to post comments on blogs related to my site.

Thursday is the day where I let myself to go wild! No not partying but crazy posting! Anywhere and everywhere I can. Its kind of like having a brick and mortar store in the center of the city- I have fliers and I am going to hang them up on every bulletin board I find in the city. Again you have to be careful about spamming. Sometimes I will send emails to my friends asking them to forward the site to others. Now! Every other Thursday I Do article marketing and submit them to relevant sites like squidoo.com, or ezinearticles.com or even forums [great place for articles!] .

Friday is when my partners and I review the week – what marketing methods worked; we discuss the content of the site and what needs to be added. We discuss ideas for the coming week and ideas for the future, we discuss the Google ads, and affiliate marketing programs… we try to cover everything. Remember: if you want to make money then you have to treat it like a business!

Saturday….. I rest!

In the evening after the baby goes to sleep – I spend time reading articles, exploring new website, I try to understand in depth the websites that I am already using and how I can make them “work for me” – I basically spend this time for my own education and to catch up with what’s new in the internet world.

Is it hard? Yes it’s hard, but one thing that I do know and that is:
“ A Quitter Never Wins And a Winner Never Quits!”

This is really funny - The guy cant stop laughing

Five tips for getting over writer’s block

2008-01-08T11:10:00.000-08:00

Got an essay? If you’re stuck, feeling helpless, don’t have any ideas… you are not alone. Thousands of high school and college students all over the world are probably having the same experience you are right now. When I wrote my first history paper in high school I was stuck for hours and I remember it as one of the most miserable times in my school career.

Later I learned how to unlock my writing potential. You can too. Yes, you.

Here are a few insights/tips I’ve come up with for getting through the difficulties of the writing process.

1. Before you get started, do two things. One is to create an environment for yourself where you can work. Put yourself into a setting where you will be productive. This is perhaps the most important tip, since your environment can influence how you think and feel profoundly. I personally work well in a room alone without distractions or even music. Other people are really productive when others are around and there’s background noise, like at a café or a bookstore. Those people are usually good at multi-tasking too. The point is, you can control your productivity and unlock your writing mind by putting yourself in the optimal situation.
2. The second thing to do before you actually write anything down is to make a writing schedule. Budget for yourself a certain amount of time that you’ll be focused exclusively on your task, with nothing else going on but writing. Give yourself a realistic amount of time in which you can get something substantial done without driving yourself crazy (if you drive yourself crazy, you won’t be able to write anyway!). I like to work in 90-minute stints, with breaks in the middle.
3. When you sit down to write and you’ve got nothing, you’re totally stuck… Two things. The first is, take a deep breath, look at your topic, look at your clean sheet of paper/screen in front of you, put your pen/pencil/fingers-to-the-keyboard and just go for it. Just write whatever comes to mind about the topic. Keep on going and going until you realize that you just jotted some valuable information. Of course, some of that information won’t be so valuable, but that’s not the point. Don’t worry about organizing the information or using the right words – that comes later. For now, just get it all out onto the paper/screen.
4. If you get stuck again, do the second stuck-tip: take a five-minute break to clear your head – make scrambled eggs, do pushups, wash the dishes, listen to your favorite song… just don’t watch TV or go on the internet, because you might get sucked in and procrastinate, which could screw up your essay writing and your self-confidence as a writer. Do something that you will feel refreshed afterwards. Then go back to your writing pad/screen and spill out some more about your topic.
5. The final tip I’ll leave you with is to organize your thoughts with an outline. You’ve jotted down a lot of info – it’s worth investing 45 minutes or so and putting together a plan for how you will present it all. An outline is like a map of your essay – it will guide you through the rest of the writing process, and will save you at the times when you feel stuck and lost. My website (mentioned below) has a free tutorial for doing an outline and a bunch of other free writing-process tutorials and tips and stuff.

Good luck!

A Complimentary College-Essay Fix

2008-01-08T11:09:00.000-08:00

As the year closes, tens of thousands of high-school seniors are scrambling to put together viable college-application packets, hoping to ensure their academic, professional and social future. The most pressurizing element of that packet is the essay: whereas GPA, resume of activities and SAT scores are statistics to put down on paper, the essay demands something more daunting of students, of these budding young adults. The essay calls for a statement of who they are.

What teen knows how to answer that question? Of course, they've been thinking about it for the past several years. They've been moving in and out of social groups, establishing personal boundaries, trying to fit in, trying to discover their identity. Now they are asked to express this identity in a clear statement – they get stuck.

They turn to their college advisors for help, to their teachers, to the adults in their life. Some spend lots of money on tutors who specialize in college-essay writing. They get advice about being original, about using the right words – they are instructed to omit a key aspect of their personality because Tufts or UC Davis might not like it.

At HelpWithYourEssay.com, we offer students a simple formula for composing the college essay, for formulating their life's vision and self-concept. We provide students with a blank text box in which to respond to the prompt:

"What is it that makes you great? What do you have deep inside of you that can do wonderful things? Spill it out in this box…"

After they've done so, we challenge them: "Done so fast? Go back and write some more."

We then email the students the piece of gold they have just written about themselves, directing them to take it and organize it in a structured, readable essay. We invite them to use our free premier automated essay-writing tutorials to facilitate that process. We wish them success in their endeavors, encouraging them to exploit their own greatness in whatever path they choose.

We at HelpWithYourEssay.com wish the same for you in this holiday season.

Ami Steinberger, MA, has been facilitating the growth of many student writers through private tutoring and other educational encounters over the past ten years. He has now begun to do so en masse with his new online writing facility, http://HelpWithYourEssay.com. Ami is 27 years old and lives in Jerusalem, Israel.

Business Ideas for Teenagers

2007-11-20T03:19:00.000-08:00

“Don’t Get a Job – Make a Job”Technorati Profile

A wise man once said that the reason why many people become rich is that they know what to do with their spare time. Think about it, how much time do you spend in front of the television? Wouldn’t it be nice to have your own money, to have your own bank account? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry every week about asking your parents for money?

We say, “Don’t get a job – make a job,” because we believe that everyone has the potential to create their own little or huge enterprise. Some of the top companies were started in a basement or a garage. Think Cliff Bars. Think Microsoft.

Have an idea? Learn from these tips to launch it:
(if you don’t have an idea yet, scroll to the bottom and find one)

1] Getting your head right, this is critical. What does this mean? This means that from when you wake up in the morning till you go to sleep you say to yourself, “I know that I am destined for greatness and I will do everything I can to achieve it”. Getting your head right means that you will do everything it takes to get your business off the ground, it means that you will get rid of any fears you have that are holding you back from going for your dreams.

2] Create a proper business plan – don’t just jump in the water! You need a plan. How many hours a day will you work? What days? What’s your method of operation? How much will it cost to start? A business plan is like a map – it will guide you and help you along the way.

3] Find a partner! A good friend and someone who you trust! Remember, it’s never good to run things on your own – with a friend you can give each other strength when the going gets rough, and its great when you can share your ideas together.

4] Market your business! Don’t just create a business and wait for someone to call you! This will never happen unless you are a very lucky person.
Hang up flyers wherever it is permitted, send out emails to everyone on your email list, start a blog about your business sharing with everyone information about it. When you send out the emails, sign them with your blog address as well! Ask you parents to email their friends about your business. Always be creative (you are creative) and think of creative ways to promote your business. Remember don’t give up on this - sometimes it may even take a week till someone finally calls you! Create business cards to hand out to everyone. What ever it is you do – Don’t give up!
If you really want your business to grow, it’s important to understand that the advertising is an ongoing process. Remember that if you are good at what you do, your name will get around very fast.

5] Be positive and have fun with it!

-

These are just some of the basics that we wanted to share with you.

Here are some ideas to run with!

Make a t-shirt with an inspiring message and super-cool graphics to sell to everyone at your school and community.

If you’re a good writer, start your own paper-editing service at school.

Have your peers consult you on how to make funny videos and promote them on YouTube. Take 10 bucks for a half-hour consultation.

Bake cookies daily and sell them at school.

Start your own advertising agency! Promote products or services for local businesses.

Start your own tutoring business – get a few kids, and you are on your way! This can be very a profitable business.

Start a dog-sitting service for neighbors or family friends who are going on vacation.

Like to write? Set up a blog writing ideas for local stores and businesses.

Play music? Start your own band – and get some gigs going at your local church or temple, Sunday school, etc. Initiate your own event like in your back yard or at your local youth group.

Are you good at sports? Become a sports mentor for kids who are not so good in sports.

Running errands - many people are busy and don’t have time to start running around going food shopping – set up your own little errands-running business.

Sell your homemade jewelry! If you have a passion for making nice jewelry then why not set up a little business making and selling jewelry? Or start a little group teaching younger kids how to make jewelry.

Bicycle repair business – who doesn’t need their bike fixed?

Gift Basket making

Invitation card making, if you are artistic and can design beautiful things – maybe

Start an invitation card business.

Photo album designing business – so many people have photo albums that are with old or falling apart, or they have a photo album with just pictures in the book that don’t look too exciting. Start a photo album design business! Take their photo albums and design them so they will be enjoyable to look through!

If you have computer skills, why not start your own web design or typing business?

Lawn care – sometimes it’s worth investing in a lawn mower. Just from your block you can make some nice money!

Start an online business – We recommend that you have someone older and experience guide you through this process.

Funny, Strange & Crazy Dating Stories

2007-11-20T03:17:00.000-08:00

This actually happened to a friend of mine. He was on a date, and while they were waiting for the food to be served, he had to go to the bathroom…. When he was done he forgot to close his zipper…. He came back to the table and she didn’t realize anything. As they were sitting by the table and talking, suddenly he realized that his zipper was wide open! With the table cloth covering him he carefully closed his zipper without her noticing. When they got up to leave, he took the whole table cloth with him.
Jeff, Cleveland

On my first date [22 years old] I was in total shock. We were heading towards a restaurant with huge glass windows and to me it seemed like a sliding glass door, so I kept on walking ….boom. Although I didn’t break the window – I had a huge bump on my forehead – it was very unpleasant.
M., Israel

I smashed the car on the first date.

Hi my name is Sarah from LA – on my first date I was with this guy who didn’t want to eat anything. All we did was walk around the mall for what seem like forever – I was SO hungry! Finally after about three hours I said to him – aren’t you hungry? He goes – “I sure am, follow me! So there I was getting all excited. We started heading out of the mall – I didn’t ask any questions, I was thinking, maybe he’s taking me to some special restaurant… We get to his car, he opens the trunk and pulls out tuna sandwiches! He said, “Oh I figured that this would be cheaper then going to a restaurant.”

I didn’t tell my parents that I was going on a date – you know I didn’t want the whole pressure thing…. Well guess who shows up in the same restaurant?
Deborah, Kansas

We were sitting in a restaurant by the beach. The sun was slowly setting and the conversation was flowing and everything was going great. Then for those of you who have been on dates know that sometimes on the first date there are moments of awkward silence. In the worst cases it lasts for about 2-4 minutes until someone breaks the ice, or until the guys asks the question “would you like desert? “…. Well here the silence was killing me… I could not think of anything to talk about and he was focusing on the sunset as a cover up for this awkward silence. Suddenly he says “ok I know what!” - And then he pulls out his flute from his bag and starts playing! Forget about the fact that he was just a beginner – but the whole place was staring at us and I could not get him to shut up! I said to him at some point “dude I think you should take dancing.” – that was our first and last date.
Rachel, LA

When I was 15 my father drove me to my first date, he told me that he would pick me up at 8:00pm. We went to Starbucks. 7:45pm comes around I am looking out the window and who do I see? Yup it was him alright. But he doesn’t stay in the car – he comes in.
Meanwhile the guy I’m with has no clue what’s going on. I am turning colors not listening to a word he is saying. First my father orders a coffee [oh crap he’s getting ready to sit down] Then he takes a spot right near me behind the guy, Giving me the one eye blink and the thumbs up. I was ready to die. Its 8:00pm and I am prepare, I know what going to happen next…. Sure enough he walks over – “You guys having a good time? I’ll be waiting in the car honey when ever you’re ready” ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I said “um …ok..” , so the date when smooth – he was a guy – kind of full of himself but a good guy, until it came time to pay. A waiter was walking by with a platter of food and this guy purposely bumps into him and the food goes all over him! Then he starts a whole riot – “This cant be! This is how you treat your customers? Shame on you!” Then he demands to speak with the manager, who comes over and this guy tells him “I demand a free meal for the way you treated me and my girlfriend!”
Jenny, NH

I went on a date with a divorced woman – she was great, however the only thing she forgot to tell me was that she was bringing her two little kids along with her.

The worst is when you are on a date and the guy has a terrible stomach ache and jumps into the first bush he finds right near the parking lot, and he starts yelling “ Sarah – could you go get me a newspaper or some toilet paper “
Sarah, NJ

Does the guy have to say “ I have been wearing the same pants for three days straight!”

I was dating this guy and we would call each other every night. One night I called him and I said “Hi my love guess who” – so he goes “who is this?” and then I said “oh sweetie are you playing games with me again?” he answers “ oh, hold on this Jacks father I’ll call him downstairs”

Harvard or Junior College? Alternative Routes to the BA degree

2007-11-13T23:23:00.000-08:00

Where I went to high school, it was an ideal to get into an Ivy League school. Kids who went to community colleges were considered to be inferior students.

But check this out. Those who went to Ivy League schools paid (or got their parents to pay) upwards of $120,000 for their education. For some people, that money doesn’t matter so much. For most, though, it’s a big (impossible?) dig into the pocket… Of course, people are willing to pay for those great schools because the education is supposed to be that good…

Is it worth it?

People who go the junior college route (attend JC for a couple of years and transfer to a state school) end up taking the same core classes that the Ivy Leaguers take. They also end up with a BA degree – which is not from Harvard, to be sure, but it’s still a BA…

Does it really matter where or how someone went to school?
