What is Article Marketing?

Remember the article you read online about that great newly released sports car or a review of a high-end vacation getaway?

Or maybe you scrolled through the blog post about a new diet that promised to melt away fat if you just followed it exactly. All of these articles were likely part of a larger campaign known as article marketing.

Article marketing is one of the oldest strategies used by online marketers to acquire new visitors and increase sales on their websites. The practice typically involves writers and publishers as primary participants, with article marketing services working as intermediaries that help match writers with interested publishers.

The fundamental purpose of article marketing is to attract wider online audiences and increase the number of sales opportunities for products or services offered on websites.

The most popular articles support an author’s or company’s reputation as an expert in a specific field, and help cultivate a loyal audience. Increased site traffic boosts where their web page ranks in search engine results, which means more people will see the site and have the opportunity to buy what the author is selling.

A Step By Step Guide To Effective Online Article Marketing.

Online article marketing can effectively improve organic search results in a number of ways:

Improve visibility for your target keyword phrases
Obtain traffic for additional (long tail) keyword searches
Assist in building awareness and reputation
Increase targeted traffic from other quality related websites
Helps attract more incoming links to your site
Helps make your website more unique and useful

1. Identify your market niche. Your niche will determine the type of articles you write, as all of the articles you publish as part of your marketing strategy should testify to your expertise and inspire web surfers interested in your specific product, service or topic to visit your website. For example, if you website is a blog about Japanese food, then all of your articles should pertain to that subject.

2. Choose article titles. The titles you use are extremely important when it comes to attracting viewers and improving your search engine optimization (SEO), and you should therefore take some care in picking them.

3. Write high-quality articles. Your article marketing will only be as effective as the articles you write, as low-quality articles are less likely to garnish attention and inspire visitors to your site.

4. Place summaries of your articles strategically within your site. For example, if you have an online winter apparel catalog, you can feature summaries for articles like, "Wear Your Scarf These 5 Creative Ways" and, "Must-have Winter Coats" directly on your product pages. This will engage visitors and inspire them to stay and explore your site.

5. Share your articles on social networking sites. Additionally, include social media sharing buttons on all of your web pages, so others can share your articles.

6. Publish articles in article directories. Search the web for article directories to find submission sites that will accept and publish your articles. Include both niche and general terms in your searches to find a variety of applicable submission sites.

Spin, or rewrite, your articles if you plan on submitting them to multiple sites. Search engines may not give high rankings to duplicate content, so it is important that you give each article a makeover before publishing it in more than one location on the web.

The Goals Of Online Article Marketing.

Effective article marketing is about writing quality articles that are useful or interesting to your market, using some on your own website and getting some published on other related websites.

Here are our goals for online article marketing for our clients:

Improving Organic Search Results (Getting found for more keyword searches and helping to increase rankings).
Help Attract Incoming Links To The Site.
Building Awareness And Often Reputation Building.
Increasing Targeted Traffic From Related Sites.
To Help Make A Web Site More Unique And Useful (e.g. Help educate your readers, help them decide what products/services to buy, etc.).

Article Marketing has lost some of it’s luster over the past few years, as changes to Google’s algorithm has decreased it’s importance while raising Social Cue’s. But while it’s not as important, it’s still a critical piece of your strategy for getting your website ranked and for the all-important Google Searches.

I recently found a great way to earn an additional income by simple writing articles . You can write about anything you feel like with the added advantage of a finished template already designed for you .

You will of course drive traffic directly to there website instead off your own , but at least you are getting paid for the articles you write. Its actually a great site to try out Article marketing if you are only getting started now .

What is Affiliate Marketing ?

Affiliate marketing is probably one of the quickest and cheapest (not the easiest) ways to start making money online as you don't have to create any products yourself. You simply link up a buyer and a seller, and you take a commission on the sale that has been referred by you.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

According to Wikipedia.

“Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts”

When you join an Affiliate program and choose the products that you want to sell, sellers provide you with a unique affiliate code that you can use to refer traffic to the target site.

Most affiliate programs will offer ready made text links, banners and other forms of creative copies whereby you only have to copy the code and place it on your website to start referring traffic. When interested visitors click on these links from your site they get redirected to the product site and if they purchase a product or subscribe to a service you as the referrer make a commission.

The sellers can track your performance through your affiliate ID and the affiliate software that they use. You also have complete, real time access to all sales and commissions stats.

You don’t need to sell products all the time to make a commission. Different affiliate programs can use different payment terms such as:

Pay per Sale: In this program a merchant pays you a percentage of the sale price when the purchase is completed.
Pay per Click: In this program you get paid based on the number of visitors you redirect to the Merchant’s website from your affiliate site, whether or not a sale is made.
Pay per Lead: You get paid once the referred visitors provide their contact information on the target site by filling out a simple contact form.

Why be an Affiliate Marketer?

Affiliate marketing is considered to be one of the world’s fastest growing and best internet marketing techniques to earn money online and I will explain why:

Cost effective: Marketing on the internet is cheap and you don’t have to worry about the production cost as the product is already developed by the seller. You don’t need a physical business location or hire employees either.
Global Market: Online marketing gives you the opportunity to reach people all over the world easily.
No Fees: You don’t need to pay anything to join affiliate programs.
No Storage No Shipping: You don’t need to worry about storage, packing or shipment of the product. They are all taken care of by the seller.
No customer support: You don’t need to provide any customer support or deal with consumer complaints as the Seller does that for you.
Passive income: A regular job can give you a fixed income as long as you continue to work. Depending on your marketing skill Affiliate marketing can create a steady flow of income even when you are not in front of your computer.
Work from home: If you make enough money then you don’t have to worry about going to work at the same time every day or getting stuck in traffic. You can work in the comfort of your own home.

Tips on Becoming a Successful Affiliate Marketer

After reading all the benefits of affiliate marketing if you think you will be rich over night by selling affiliate products online then you are wrong. Affiliate marketing is definitely an excellent way to make money online but it’s highly competitive too. In order to be successful in Affiliate marketing you need to know the market needs, learn how to promote products, what works and what doesn’t. The following are a few tricks on becoming successful in affiliate marketing that I have learned over time.

1. Only Choose a Handful of Good Products

The first mistake a lot of affiliate marketers make is that they register with too many different affiliate programs and try to promote everything. Pursuing affiliate marketing down this path can become very overwhelming and you won’t be able to promote any product properly. All you need in order to be successful is a handful of good products to promote. Try to understand the market needs and look for products that align correctly with the topic of your site.

2. Use Several Traffic Sources to Promote Products

Most affiliate marketers put up the ads only on their sites. There is nothing wrong with this approach but know that there are many other traffic sources that you can tap into and promote the products simultaneously. The more targeted traffic you can send to the sales page the more your chances are of making money.

3. Stay Current with New Methods and Techniques

Affiliate marketing is a very competitive field and people are always coming up with new techniques. Try to stay current with these new techniques and market trends otherwise you will fall behind.

4. Research the Demand of the Product

If you try to sell a product that is in low demand then chances are that you are not going to get many sales no matter how hard you try. So it is a good idea to spend a bit of time researching and finding out if a product that you are thinking of promoting is a product that your audience needs. If your site gets decent traffic then you can conduct an online survey and easily get input from your visitors.

5. Test, Measure and Track Your Affiliate Campaign

It is a very good idea to use different product promotion strategies so you can figure out what is working and what is not. Try to do split testing and measure the performance of each campaign then take actions accordingly. Changing a few things here and there can increase your profit dramatically. Make sure to place the banner ads on different areas of your site’s pages. Some positions will make the ads more noticeable than others.

Are you someone who likes to grow? Do you constantly seek to improve yourself and become better?

9/23/2016

Are you someone who likes to grow? Do you constantly seek to improve yourself and become better?

If you do, then we have something in common. I’m very passionate about personal growth. It was just 7 years ago when I discovered my passion for growing and helping others grow. At that time, I was 26. As I thought about the meaning of life, I realized there was nothing more meaningful than to pursue a life of development and personal growth. It is through improving ourselves that we get the most out of life.

Here they are :

Read a book every day. Books are concentrated sources of wisdom. The more books you read, the more wisdom you expose yourself to. What are some books you can start reading to enrich yourself? Some books I’ve read and found useful are Think and Grow Rich, Who Moved My Cheese, 7 Habits, The Science of Getting Rich and Living the 80/20 Way.

Pick up a new hobby. Beyond just your usual favorite hobbies, is there something new you can pick up? Any new sport you can learn? Examples are fencing, golf, rock climbing, football, canoeing, or hiking. Your new hobby can also be a recreational hobby. For example, pottery, Italian cooking, dancing, wine appreciation, web design, etc. Learning something new requires you to stretch yourself in different aspects, whether physically, mentally or emotionally.

Take up a new course. Is there any new course you can join? Courses are a great way to gain new knowledge and skills. It doesn’t have to be a long-term course – seminars or workshops serve their purpose too. I’ve been to a few workshops and they have helped me gain new insights which I had not considered before.

Create an inspirational room. Your environment sets the mood and tone for you. If you are living in an inspirational environment, you are going to be inspired every day. In the past, I didn’t like my room at all because I thought it was messy and dull. A few years ago, I decided this was the end of it – I started on a “Room Revamp” project and overhauled my room. The end result? A room I totally relish being in and inspires me to be at my peak every day.

Wake up early. Waking up early (say, 4-5am) has been acknowledged by many (Anthony Robbins, Robin Sharma, among other self-help gurus) to improve your productivity and your quality of life. I feel it’s because when you wake up early, your mindset is already set to continue the momentum and pro-actively live out the day. Seth recently wrote a waking up early series which you should check out to help cultivate this habit.

Have a weekly exercise routine. A better you starts with being in better physical shape. I personally make it a point to jog at least 3 times a week, at least 30 minutes each time. You may want to mix it up with jogging, gym lessons and swimming for variation.

Stay focused with to-do lists. I start my day with a list of tasks I want to complete and this helps make me stay focused. In comparison, the days when I don’t do this end up being extremely unproductive. For example, part of my to-do list for today is to write a guest post on my blog, and this is why I’m writing this now! Since my work requires me to use my computer all the time, I use a Notebook to manage my to-do lists.

Avoid negative people. As Jim Rohn says, “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”. Wherever we go, there are bound to be negative people. Don’t spend too much of your time around them if you feel they drag you down.

Start a blog about personal development. To help others grow, you need to first be walking the talk. There are expectations of you, both from yourself and from others, which you have to uphold. I run My Blog, where I share my personal journey and insights on how to start a business online. Readers look toward my articles to improve themselves and there business on-line.

Stop watching TV. I’ve not been watching TV for pretty much 4 years and it’s been a very liberating experience. I realized most of the programs and advertisements on mainstream TV are usually of a lower consciousness and not very empowering. In return, the time I’ve freed up from not watching TV is now constructively used for blogging , trading and research.

Blogging for Small Businesses.

One of the most challenging marketing requirements that new business owners face is blog development.
Many small business owners are not inherently comfortable with writing and most struggle with conceptualizing relevant content for their market and relating it to their services or products.

The pressure to deliver consistently interesting and dynamic information to your audience can be especially overwhelming, and many small business owners expect to see immediate results and are swiftly disappointed. Blogging is a marathon, not a race .There is no easy button to instant notoriety and high engagement. Blogging is a long-term, on-going marketing strategy that supplements and grounds other marketing campaigns over the life of a small business.

9/14/2016

By : Andre Klynsmith | Walvis Bay , Namibia

Even though its probable a smarter chose to start your own blog site from scratch using a service like weebly or wordpress , some people just don't want to go through the whole process of setting up there own site to just blog about there experiences.

Well , hear is some great news . I have recently stumble across a service that not only allows you to just blog , but they are paying you as well for the content that you write. You don't need to go through all the effort of creating your own Blog site at all . You can just create a account and publish your article in the next few minutes , while getting paid for the content you write.

This allows you to share your experiences quickly and easily without having your own blog site that consistently needs to be update with new articles to have fresh content on the site for your followers to come back too.

There site will always have fresh content on the site because they have thousands of users making use of there service , publishing content for them every single day.

Advantages of your own Blog Site

When you have your own blogging website , all the traffic that is generated from browsers visiting your site will increase your sites popularity in search engines over time. All the content that you write about and key words within your content will also increase your site popularity .

Over time , all the hard work will pay off and traffic that's generated will go directly to your website or blog site .

When you make use of services like Bitpages , all the traffic generated will lead to there site .

Advantages of using a service like Bitpages

Thousands of other users that also make use of a service like Bitpages, which means there s allot more content being published in a single day that will drastically increase the amount of traffic that they generate.

You will also have the added advantage of a professional looking article because there layout is restricted to a certain layout and feel. There service is easy to use to quickly publish your article in a few minutes.

You will still be able to direct traffic to your social media pages , website or blog site if you have any. When you setup your account you will be able to add all your social media links in the settings tab so that they are featured in your bloggers signature below your article .

And then of coarse sharing your article to the rest of the world through social media channels is only one click away after you have published your article.

How are Bloggers Paid ?

When signing up , you will need to setup your account and add your payza or paypal account details to your account to receive your commission payments . Commission payments are payed once a month directly to your payza or paypal account .

You are rewarded in points for writing content , sharing your thoughts and page views and sales. All over the site you will see banners selling all kinds of products which doesn't look spammy at all . The focus is still on your article with easy to share and comment functionality .

All the points that you accumulated over a one month period will then determine your pool share that you will be paid to your account.

This is a great service not only for earning a extra buck , but also if you are looking to expand your back link building to your social media accounts or web page.

Similar Service that pay Instantly

I would like to share one more service with you that not only pays instantly but is also a great way of monetizing your online content. If you are doing online marketing you will understand the power of creating content on forums , discussion boards and sites like these to drive traffic to your website or articles .

Well , Paymeabit advised a clever way to get the users to pay you for the content you create. Just like on facebook users are able to like your content and when they do you are paid a single Bit for that like.

Not only are you driving traffic from there site to your articles or website but you are also being paid in fractional bitcoins when some likes your post. Its absolutely free to sign up and will quickly get you paid bits for writing content on there site.

With bitcoin payments being instant , your bits are paid to your account balance immediately when someone likes your post.

Its absolutely fantastic ... Checkout my account on paymeabit or just setup your own account to get started.

I would like to know what you think , leave a comment and i will get back to you .
