Quickie – Words of wisdom from Michael Silvester

Here’s an email I received today that I thought was well worth sharing.

We all love step by step instructions, all credit to Michael Silvester for laying out this excellent traffic strategy:

Here is his 11 step content/marketing plan.

Step 1. Write an Article

Step 2. Submit the Article

Step 3. Social Bookmark your Articles

Step 4. Turn your Article into a Video

Step 5. Submit the Videos

Step 6. Social Bookmark the Videos

Step 7. Turn the Video into Audio

Step 8. Submit the Audio to podcasting sites

Step 9. Social bookmark the Podcasts

Step 10. Generate RSS feeds from everything

Step 11. Submit the RSS feeds to RSS sites

There ya go! The best damn marketing system that
you ever laid your eyes on!

Why don’t you make a checklist out of this email
and follow these steps for every article that you
write.

In fact you can start doing this with articles
that you have already written.

Actually, you probably have a heap of PLR
articles on your computer that you can use.

If you’re going to use PLR, I suggest that
you start from step 4.

There you go… Genius Michael!

Easier And Faster Traffic Than Article Submission…

A few months back if you had asked me what is the quickest, easiest and most effective ‘Free’ method for making some fast cash online… phew lets take a breath, I would have said:

Get an account at ClickBank.com
Browse thru some interesting categories (avoid the business and IM stuff to start with, too competitive)
Pick 2 or 3 products with Gravity of 5 or more but less than say 60 (again probably too competitive)
Find 5 good long-tail keywords (i.e 3 or more words in the keyword phrase) with 10 or more searches per day (Use the free Wordtracker search tool or Google’s keyword tool and just type in the main topic of the product) for each product.
Write an article on each keyword phrase, roughly 350 words long (If your stuck for ideas just type your keyword phrase into EzineArticles.com and use the results for inspiration!)
Include your affiliate link for the product from Clickbank in your Author/Bio box with an interesting statement like: If you want to know how to lose 10 pounds in a week then visit -YOURAFFILIATELINK- (Cloaking your link using a service like TinyUrl.com)
Submit your articles to GoArticles.com, they allow affiliate links in the bio box unlike EzineArticles.com who require you to link to your own site first.. An easy workaround for that if you want to take advantage of EzineArticles’ clout on Google is to setup a free Blogger Blog and link to that from EzineArticles, put your affiliate link in your Blogger Blog…

Do that and in a short space of time (once you have built up lets say 10 products and 10 articles for each product, which should only take a month or so even if you just spend a few hours in the evening) you will find a nice steady flow of traffic running through your affiliate links making you a decent bit of extra cash.

So that’s great I hear you say! Well yes it is but lately I’ve been using a technique that can potentially get you sales within hours of finding your product to promote, is more likely to get your keywords listed in the top 10 results on Google and doesn’t require writing a heap of articles…

Need To Get Content For Your Website?

Here’s a post made to my second Blog IMDiscounter.com that I thought is well worth sharing with you here. While it’s a little basic it is good solid advice all the same – Thanks go to Susanne Myers

“As a website publisher, you already have your own little piece of virtual real estate, just sitting there trying to make you money. However, the more pages of quality content you add, the more changes you’ll have to make the kind of money that makes you feel like you’ve got a web-business instead of a hobby.

The problem is that writing oodles of articles is tiring to say the least — or is it?

Nicole Dean, the Mostly-Sane Marketer, someone who I enjoy learning from, teaches these methods to build internet real estate without tears.

1. Grab a keyboard.
If you’re comfortable writing, and enjoy it, this is the way to go. However, I still recommend that you read the additional methods so you can incorporate some of them as well.

2. Find a ghostwriter.
There are countless writers online who will write content for you, for a fee. Find one that can write to sound like you and pay him/her well. Guess what? You just made your life much, much easier.

Internet Marketing Uncut Secrets Launches Soon

Internet Marketing Uncut – Is It BIG or Basic Internet Marketing For Your Small Business

For a small business that has always been brick and mortar only, the transition to the online world can be a difficult one. A business owner that has always done offline advertising and networking may feel that they are at a disadvantage when it comes to marketing their business online.

However, that is not necessarily the case. In fact, these business owners may actually have an advantage in that they already know what kind of marketing materials and messages work for their business offline, and they can use those advertising pieces and marketing activities to begin to drive traffic to their online destinations.

More and more small businesses find it essential to market their products and services online. Customers are increasingly turning to the Web to research companies, compare product features and prices, and to purchase online. A company that does not take advantage of the Web and to market their business can lose valuable customers and profits.

A website does nothing for your business or organization by itself. Its use depends on traffic, and traffic depends on marketing. It has never been easier or more cost-effective to market online. Below I outline a couple of strategies that you can start employing immediately to start driving traffic to your business: Read more on Internet Marketing Uncut Secrets Launches Soon…

Internet Marketing For Profit

If you are new to owning a money making blog and want to offer your customers a way to purchase your “wares” online, then you need to consider internet marketing. Marketing online can reach a large amount of people in an affordable fashion and in a way that can get the word out to the masses. In order to get the information about your product or service out to the world, marketing is a must and marketing online can be an optimum way to do just that.

Your blog needs to be set up before you start any internet marketing campaign. Whether or not you have an outside store, those who visit you on the web can only judge you by what they see on your blog. If you think about it, your online presence IS your company. The blog should be completely designed and then optimized before you ever present it to the public. Your small business will only benefit from your blog being set up correctly.

When you start marketing your money making blog, you will want to start with the basics. First you will want to define your target niche. For example, if the product you are going tomarket is made for teen mothers, then you will not want to concentrate on teenage boys. Knowing the demographic for your niche helps give you an idea of the best way to market it online. Once you are able to recognize your demographic audience, there are several ways that you can begin marketing to them. You may choose to use email campaigns, banner ads, e-zine ads, pay-per-click advertising and SEO techniques to promote your site.

It is important to remember that when you begin your money making blog, that it is directed toward your particular audience. Next, it is very important that you decide what type of marketing is right for you. There are many different types of marketing out there and not all of them will work for every product and service. Research before you begin and seek out business advice from experienced business owners about online marketing programs; your time spent will pay off.

Making money blogging is not for everyone but with a little hard work they can be extremely profitable. Check out PLR Articles for help and advice on building profitable blogs.

Outstanding Article Marketing – 5 Fantastic Ways for Making Money with Article Marketing

Article Marketing is still one of the best ways to make money online these days. Let me show you 5 great methods you can use right now:

1. Drive traffic to your website. Right now, article marketing is the best method to get online users to give you a visit. When you submit keyword-rich articles and they match relevant searches online, search engines will take online users to your articles where they can find a link to your website. The more traffic you generate the higher your chances of making a sale.

2. Position yourself as an expert on your chosen niche. As you know, it is very important in internet marketing that you earn the trust of online users so you can get them to transact with you. You can showcase your expertise by writing highly informative articles and by helping your readers in resolving their pressing issues by sharing a slice of your knowledge. When you are able to help these people, they are most likely to take advantage of what you offer.

3. Promote your products and services. You can build up your offerings (without resorting to blatant ads and sales pitches) through your article content so you can make them more enticing to the eyes of your potential clients. You may highlight their features and benefits or create a need for them so your readers will realize the importance of your products and services to their lives.

4. Promote easy recall. Article marketing can help you establish your reputation and promote brand awareness without burning your pockets. All you need to do is submit a lot of articles online so people will keep seeing your name when they are searching for information relevant to your chosen niche. Through doing this, these people will remember your name and they will contact you when they are ready to make a purchase. You can get articles written for you to save time when you are focusing on sheer volume.

5. Build numerous links for your website. As you might already know, the more links pointing to your website, the more valuable your website will become to the eyes of search engines. Right now, article marketing is the best way to build inbound links for your website. It will not require you to email established webmasters or pay for link exchanges. You can just post your articles online and once they are accepted, you’ll automatically get backlinks for your site. It’s that easy!

I hope you enjoyed those free tips!

Best wishes,

Andy
