                             ADVERTISE USING ARTICLES

A very efficient method to advertise your professional services, the products you are selling or can be used for affiliated marketing is writing targeted articles.

These articles that enclose at the end a short presentation of you or your business can be about various solution to actual problems, about everyday life etc. 

There are many sites to which you can submit these articles to, or if you have a database of your customers’ emails, just drop them an email containing the article and a link to your Blog or Business Website

Don't forget you can add hyperlinks as I have done above as examples, you can always include these articles on some kind disk as added bonus, and allow the reader to pass it on or even sell your work as long as it remains unaltered, State terms of use at the top

 

The more interesting the article is, the more people will read and remember it. Even if you don’t have experience with writing, there are some aspects that can make you try it:

- Writing a technical article puts order in your ideas. You will have to coherent and state clear ideas and proper explanations.

- It will make you improve the way you speak.

- It will bring you visibility.

- If it’s written well it will surely help someone.

- You can prove your knowledge in your professional areas this way.

 

Publishing articles means they have to contains mostly useful information and just a little bit of advertising. If they don’t follow this rule, you might end up with an un-publishable article, which you can only put on your homepage. 

 

There are other things you could do with articles if you are willing to spend some money. There are different publicity sites, ranked high in search engines that for a fee will publish your article on their site for a limited period of time.

The fee is not high usually, and you get much more visibility this way. But if this choice is the one that appeals to you the most, you must make sure the article is really good, so good that it can compete with all the other articles on that site. The user can see them all at the same time and you must think of ways to make him choose to read yours. If you have tried and you are not confident you can do it on your own, you can always hire a professional, or a cheaper alternative is Fiverr.com


If you have articles of your own that are original, you can turn them into short reports or group them together as a eBook by updating them as a PDF 
Don't forget to insert any links before you update to PDF
 

 

What the Guru's Don't Tell You!

Guru, a (teacher) One who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom, and authority in a certain area, and use their knowledge to guide others - they are usually online experts

        The Money is in the List! 

Is a phrase that you may have come across on numerous occasions "Build your list they say" which sounds easy enough!

But what they don't tell you is all the other things that go along with list building, so I shall attempt to shed some light on this subject (We have been kept in the dark long enough

Firstly, building a list only applies if you are going to set up a online business, which many may not feel comfortable about as there are many daunting huddles to get over

 

However if you are still keen on setting up a online business, then here’s what you need to do.

1: Decide on a Domain name, your website address - that name has to be paid for

2: Get it Hosted, which is just somewhere for the new name and future site to rest so it can be found by search engines or people typing in the website name address (Monthly cost apply

3: Set up the actual site, the level of difficulty will depend on what method is used and what you are doing with the site i.e.: selling products or supplying information or both.

Note: Never send traffic to the actual website! Landing pages or Capture pages as they are called - both of these are the same just named differently 
 
4: How to build a list, for the purpose of mailing offers, you need to have something to offer for Free i.e. software or a selection of the same, or a collection of e-books all of which can be downloaded by anyone willing to enter their name and email address (which is how the list is built.

Back up a little here, in order for this to work, you will need a Auto-Responder service, who will provide you with forms that you can edit to suit the offer, which then becomes part of the squeeze page or capture page.
You will have to learn all details of just how to set up these pages, along with follow up messages including a "Thank You" message page with a link to the item for downloading

If you get that far, then you will need to come to grips with the tricky business of getting Traffic to those pages (which is eager visitors willing enough to enter their details.
Not to mention the total cost of all of this and the time and effort it takes to learn everything, so is it any wonder the Guru’s keep us in the dark?
They would have us believe that it is all point click or push button simple, they feed us this lie so that we will continue to buy every NEW thing off them so keeping them RICH and us poor and desperate
