Article Marketing - How to Become Independent of Ghostwriters

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.

Business Ideas for Teenagers

“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!
