I write a lot of articles everyday.  When you manage a network of niche blogs, you have to be able to write good content quickly. I had to learn quickly how to write a lot of articles fast.

I need articles for my blogs, article directories, press releases, and Web 2.0 websites.  I also try to syndicate everything even more by submitting to two special article submission services.

My own technique for writing a lot of articles fast involves this new instant article creation software that creates a lot of unique articles in just under 4 minutes.  Check out the free video this new instant article writing software.  It’s amazing, and will save you loads of time.

Once I create my articles, I submit my first article to Ezinearticles.  My second article to Articlesbase, and my third article to GoArticles.

Then the fun begins.  Those two article submission services that I mentioned earlier are SEO Linkvine, and the Unique Article Wizard.

SEOLinkvine is a link building service that will give you high quality one way links.   Their system is all about increasing your search engine rankings, so that you can get more FREE traffic to your websites.

SEOLinkvine’s process is really easy too.  You simply write your article, add backlinks in your article for any keywords you want, and submit it to SEOLinkvine.  That’s it!

Their system will take your article and distribute it throughout their  network of thousands of sites, publish it, and start building you one-way backlinks.

The Unique Article Wizard is another article submission service that works like magic.  You simply submit three versions of your original article using the instant article factory along with your backlinks and keywords.  The Unique Article Wizard instantly submits your articles to several hundred blogs and article directories.  On average, my articles get sent to between 800 and 1000 different locations for each article…

With my system, you get tons of backlinks, better rankings, more traffic, and sales.  It’s a solid system that I use over and over to make money online.  It will work for you too.

I am a big fan of article marketing for many reasons.  When you start writing articles to promote your website, you increase the exposure of your website, gain valuable backlinks, and give other web publishers the opportunity to publish your content on their website or blog for free.

The key is to market your articles for maximum exposure and traffic, so the big question is….how to promote your website with articles so that you will get more traffic and make money online?

There are a few key things to keep in mind when you are writing your articles.  Create articles with 400 - 600 words, and target a keyword for each article.  This means putting the keyword in the title, the first sentence, and every 100 words or so.

Write interesting articles that your readers will want to read, and create an author’s resource box with an anchor link containing your keyword.

Here is a good list of article directories to start submitting to:

Article Alley

Webpronews

Ezinearticles

iSnare

Article Click

Web Articles

Article Dashboard

Article City

There seems to be so much confusion in internet marketing about creating and spinning articles, and even where to submit and promote them.  I always think that as long as you get the content out there, and you link back to your websites you are making progress.

I have read a lot of article spinner reviews that really don’t approve of their use.  I even recently had Ezinearticles simply delete four of my articles about content spinners with no explanation at all. Thankfully, there are tons of other article directories that will allow me to submit them without “losing my articles” in the process.

I have tried and tested many different article spinning software programs, and most have left me truly frustrated and disappointed.  The best article spinner software is definitely The Best Spinner.  I have used it for several months to create hundreds of articles, and I have made back to back sales, and increased my Alexa ranking, backlinks, and Pagerank.

Another good thing that is often discouraged in online marketing is PLR articles.  I had no idea that you could get access to a whole database with PLR Articles, spin them, and submit them everywhere like other article directories, mini websites, and they can be used for content for more blogs and websites.  Point them back to your product, opt in page, website, and you have a winning formula for sales.

As an internet marketer, it’s important to be able to write quality content quickly.  You don’t want every article to sound like a sales pitch, and you really don’t want to submit boring content either.

It’s not easy to find a balance either, but when you do, you are hitting your stride.  I once read about an internet marketer who makes over $100,000 a year by simply submitting long articles to Ezinearticles everyday.  She starts her day when her kids leave for school, and she writes articles until they return home.  I am sure she takes breaks, especially for coffee (every online marketers best friend!).  She says that her articles are long, between 600 - 700 words in length.  She never has a problem getting them approved, and she has platinum status with Ezinearticles, so she probably gets approved fairly quickly.  She promotes one website, with no list.

This story blew me away.  It’s a good example of discipline, and writing quality articles to make sales.  There are ways to maximize this technique.  I was thinking about writing these articles, spinning them with a really good article spinner and submitting them to other directories like GoArticles, Articlesbase, Buzzle, and Article Dashboard.  Why not then use more versions of the article to make Squidoos, Hubpages, and other mini sites?

Finally, video marketing can be simplified with articles too.  Create a Powerpoint presentation with your article, and create a video with Camtasia, or your preferred video creator.

You can get a lot of mileage out of one article.  Consider using a PLR database for even more articles.  Even sending the spun article to the Unique Article Wizard to gain maximum exposure.  Develop a system and watch your sales start pouring in.

As an avid article marketer, I had all but given up on article spinning software.  They all have such great send ups, and their ad pages would promise the moon, only none of them could really deliver.   Some of them were fast, really fast, but the resulting articles would be unreadable garbage.  Some of them allowed you to go word for word choosing your own synonyms, but isn’t that the same thing as writing an article from scratch?!?

Why do I need an article spinner if I am going to do all of the work?

Here are a few pointers that I have learned about article spinners:

• A good article spinner will save you time
• An amazing article spinner will write a readable article as good as the original (or better!), and it will work quickly.
• The Best Article Spinner will create great, readable articles on the fly, save them to your desktop, and cost you less than a few cups of coffee each month.

I was forced to learn to write articles to promote my website.  When I first started writing articles, I had no idea where to start or even how to tie in my website without feeling like a used car salesman.  I dreaded the feeling of being ridiculed for writing a silly article to advertise my first shopping website.  My first website was a mess.  I started out with good intentions wanting to make a huge coupon site with all kinds of products in the mix.  Little did I know that this was a really huge task for which I could never have enough hours in the day.

The thing was, I was working a full time job, looking after my family, and had little time to develop the site.  I tried to maintain it, and the whole traffic thing just kind of fell apart. This was back in 2003.  The website was great to look at with a lot of cute graphics, and a few coupons that I was able to update once or twice every few months, and I made a few sales.  My big problem was that I was not getting any traffic because I didn’t understand the importance of how to create backlinks, and how to start an article marketing plan.

I thought, wrongly for years that I would have to pay money to drive any real traffic  to my site.  I just didn’t have it.  I was barely getting by on my paycheck, as my significant other is an artistic type, and refuses to be tied down to a traditional 9 to 5, or any job that would otherwise interfere with their tv or nap time.  So, I learned quickly that if I wanted to keep the lights on, and food in the refrigerator, I would have to work full time, and learn to get traffic to my website in my spare time.

I started to educate myself about article marketing, and I ran across a blog, Potpiegirl.com (Read her blog, she is fabulous, and she can teach you how to get started making money online using all free methods with her One Week Marketing Plan).  It changed the game for me.  I signed up with Wealthy Affiliate, and this was like opening up a private online oasis with other internet marketers who would take me by the hand and show me the ropes.  Not only have I learned how to write articles for website promotion, I have learned Pay Per Click strategies, forum marketing, and a host of easy ways to make money online.

For the past year, I have made quite an impact in keeping my family’s finances stable.  The extra money each money from my article marketing efforts keeps pouring in, and I am happy to say that I really love those surprise sales that keep coming from old articles I have long forgotten about.

If you have ever wanted to earn money online without having to spend money, Article Marketing is your answer.   Article Marketing is a technique that allows you to drive highly qualified visitors to your affiliate links and websites without having to shell out any money for advertising.  Wealthy Affiliate specializes in Article Marketing, teaching everything from the core basics, to some of the most sophisticated and highly effective tricks and techniques.  Many Wealthy Affiliate members use article marketing as their only source of traffic and income.

Make Your First $1 Online Now

I started with internet marketing online several years ago.  I discovered Linkshare, and learned how to make websites to display banners, and products on my site.  I made my first dollar online from a flower order.  I have been hooked on internet marketing ever since.

For years I struggled to make just a few extra dollars.  Slowly I began to find enough knowledge through blogs to piece everything together.  I would make sales here and there, but it took a few years for me to start making money every month.   I just didn’t get the whole picture until I joined Wealthy Affiliate.  Now I have a good idea of what to do to make money every month.

I found that article marketing was one of the best ways that I could make sales without having to spend any money.  Associated Content is the article directory that I started with first because they will pay you upfront for your original articles.  I was writing travel articles and making a good $4 per article.  Click Here to sign up as a new author with Associated Content.  It’s free, and you will get paid in a matter of days.

If I were new and had to start from scratch, I would get started creating Squidoo lenses.  I would use the eBay and Amazon modules, sign up for Clickbank, and create lenses based on high gravity Clickbank products.  I would write articles on Associated Content and in the resource box link back to my Squidoo lens.  I would also write another original article and submit it to Ezinearticles.

Here is a couple of other article directories that will pay you for articles:

Examiner.com - One blogger made over $2,000 writing for the Examiner.  It’s worth checking out.

eHow.com - Make money writing “how to articles”

If you are a little nervous about writing articles, don’t be.  Most anyone can write an article, even if you have very little experience.  Copyblogger has some great tips on “How to Write an Article in 20 Minutes“, and Ian at Karmic Consulting is an expert at how to captivate your reader.  A must read is his Article Marketing eBook.  He gives good insight on how to get lots of people to read your articles and buy your products.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

CPA Marketing on Article Websites - What to Do?!?

You can do CPA marketing on article websites.  You want to be sure that the offer allows for “Search”, and it’s helps to check with your affiliate manager to make sure which article sites you can submit your articles to for the particular offer.

One tip you want to keep in mind is to track your links.  Don’t make the mistake of blindly direct linking just to get it out there.  If you direct link, you are not knowing where your sales are coming from, the affiliate link is not attractive and may cause suspicion among your readers.  They might think that if they click on the link, they may get a virus.  Really, what looks better to a reader, “http://dflkhgdsghoiudfbu.43056.com, or http://www.fast-weight-loss-product.com”.  Give the reader an idea of what they will get when they click the link.

There are a few reasons to redirect your affiliate link.  Buy a domain, but remember not to use the product’s actual name as the domain name as this could cause a conflict with the advertiser.  I use .info domains for my CPA marketing.  They are less than $2 with GoDaddy, and as CPA offers get pulled you can interchange them with new offers.  It is really a great way to test what converts, and the .infos are really useful if you choose a good relevant domain name.

Another reason to buy a domain name is to track your visitors.  If you know where your traffic is coming from, you can stop scattering your energy and focus on the directories that are making you sales.  Once you have your domain name registered with GoDaddy, sign up with Hostgator, and change the name servers over.  Hostgator has an excellent tracking system, and you can host unlimited domains for only $7.95 a month.

Finally, write quality articles that your readers will understand and want to click through to your offer.  CPA marketing on article websites should be done the same way that you would with any other type of affiliate marketing.

Looking for good solid CPA networks to join?  My favorites are Azoogleads, and Neverblue.  They pay every month, and the commissions are excellent!  In addition, if you want to amp up your article automation methods, try the Magic Article Rewriter and Magic Article Submitter.  Now get out there and make some money!

Can article submitters really work the way you want them to?

Being an affiliate marketer who has had a website banned by Google, I have often asked myself the question, do article submitters really work?

They work if you are careful with them.  You don’t want to use an article submitter, and submit thousands of articles every day.  Google will shut you down.  I tried it, and it doesn’t work.  You will rank well for a few weeks, or even a few months, but that day will happen when you go to check your backlinks and find nothing there.  Not even a mention of your website ever being indexed.

I have found Google to be unforgiving too.  I have sent request forms several times to ask that they re-index my site, but these requests go virtually unanswered.  So, learn from my bad experience, and submit a safe number of articles at one time, and remember that you don’t have to do everything at once.  Create a schedule for yourself, and spend a day creating articles, another for submitting a certain amount, and so on.

Article submitters are software that you use to automatically send your articles out to article directories.  Remember software is just that, you have to use it responsibly, and gradually build your links, and gain exposure to your website.

Article submitters work when you use them to save time.  You want to only submit a reasonable amount of articles.  You don’t want to overdo it.  Take your time to create good content, rewrite it so that spun articles are useful and make sense, and submit your articles.  It pays off in backlinks, traffic, and sales.

Tired of trying to rewrite every article, and need a good article spinner and submitter all in one?  Take a look at the Magic Article Rewriter and Magic Article Submitter.  It’s amazing software that will save you money and time.  You can easily create up to 1000 unique high quality articles in less than 5 minutes.  (Now you do not want to submit them all in one day ;)), but the software is great!
