Things to Do Before an Article Submission

Author: Dmytro Fodoreyev

Article marketing is one of the most powerful tools used for product/website promotions. This technique attracts many new readers to your blog/website and definitely it increases your sales as well. Article marketing is one of the best strategies to make money online. Read the following paragraph to know more about article marketing and get some tips as well.

The basic thing for article marketing is to have an article. You must have a strong knowledge in English to write an article or you can also outsource the job. Submit the article to article directories which have high page rank. Some of the best directories are ezine, articlesbase, articledashboard etc. The editors of these sites will review your article and if it meets their editorial guidelines then your article will be published in these sites. The first and best thing about article marketing is that it gives you one-way backlinks. These one-way backlinks gives your blog/website a better page rank and good search engine positions as well.

· Do not promote anything inside the article as this may reduce the chances of approval in the directories.

· Give only the factual information in your article as this may help in attracting readers.

· Always do more research for the content and do not just rewrite the things.

· Give an eye catching title to your articles as this helps in attracting readers

· Make short and sweet sentences.

· Insert your keywords inside the body at appropriate places and do not stuff it.

· Use bulleted points and make the article neat.

· Always have a very good resource box when you are submitting and add your URL for your keyword.

Internet Marketing Education Vs College Education

Author: Rigel Powell

Congratulations! in just a few minutes you will become a college graduate. The four years of hard work and discipline finally paid off because today is your day. I know when you look back at the many late nights studying or the topics that you had to research for term papers that you absolutely abhorred was worth it. Don’t forget there were sacrifices as well, I don’t think you can count on both hands the many parties that you passed up or the summers you spent at an internship while your friends sat in the sun by the beach.

Today you make your parents proud because today you have proved to the world that you are entitled to success. You hear your name called out and you walk up on stage to receive your diploma it’s one of the proudest days in your life. Every second you can feel the S on your chest get bigger and the red cape get larger. You are officially a college graduate ready for the world and fully prepared to defy gravity. Like the R & B singer R Kelly once sang you believe you can fly.

Fast forward one year later. You walk through the revolving doors of the faceless building quickly being swept up by the lunch hour traffic. Once again disappointed at your job search. You can’t seem to get on your feet and every time you turn on the TV or open a magazine you see and hear about the job market getting smaller and smaller. What happened your life wasn’t supposed to be this way. What happened was the same thing that is happening to countless other new college graduates. They are leaving school to find out they have been learning old out dated principles that don’t apply to the current job market but even worse the job market doesn’t even exist. The only thing they do have is a mountain of debt created from consumer expense and college loans. Naturally you feel bitter frustrated and even a little depressed. You graduated from college your entitled to more right… WRONG

Sorry to say that the only thing your entitled to is a opportunity to try something different that will present a different outcome. For college students especially those who are seeking careers in business their is unlimited potential for success as a internet marketer. first and foremost their is no recession on the internet, the internet is a constantly growing and changing algorithm that corporations in the fortune 500 listing to mom & pop brick and mortar business need someone to successfully promote, brand, and attract high quality customers to their business. The only possible way a internet marketing professional will be considered non valuable is unless the internet disappears.

The major appeal to becoming a internet marketing professional is the ability to make a substantial residual income while your learning. Unlike major colleges and universities in America you don’t have to graduate before you have the chance to sell yourself. The college of internet marketing teaches you to define your self value so the business opportunity comes to you and you can state the terms. The curriculum is all online so you can work around whatever personal schedule that you currently have and the cost to begin this business education is far less then it would be to get your degree in any major college or university. Apply the same discipline and study habits to this education like you woud for your undergrad or graduate level courses and success is inevitable

I Did One Of Those Things A Freelance Writer Should Never Have Done

Author: Marsha Maung

Written the wrong article. And with a looming deadline too. Nothing could be worse. Things are bad. This could be the end of everything. I am going to have to burn a few midnight oils for this mistake.

Nah. Don’t have to. You see, here I am writing this article for myself after all. Want to know how it was done? Repurposing the article, of course! This is a learned art that one can only make use of through experience. You know, come to think of it, even if you don’t have the experience of writing tons and tons of articles every day, you can do it if you put your mind to it because it is nothing miraculous. You don’t need to know Karate to know how to whack this out.

Here’s what repurposing an article mean. It means saving the article from going completely into the waste bin, that’s what. As mentioned, I wrote the wrong article…two, in fact (yes, yes, as stupid as it sounds) and I need to save both. Here’s what needs to be done. I need to either find a new twist to it and fit it into a new genre or save some, lose some, add more. You know what you have written in your article, so you are in the best position to decide what stays so, give the article a quick scan and see what you can save from the whole thing and still present it to your client without having to rewrite the entire piece.

Admittedly, you probably can’t keep everything in there if it is a completely different topic altogether, so, you compile the information you need to ‘thrash’ and save it for later use. You can expand that into another article for another client later on. Then scan the web for new information that you can insert to ‘fill in the blanks’ for the current article. Find them and write them.

Most of the time, we write multiple articles for the same client so you must have written a fair amount in the past for this client. Re-use the previous information for this article and write it in a new way.

Switch on your torch lights and look inside your head to see if you have further information that you can INSTANTLY add from a previous article that you have written for another client too If you have it, add a few words in there. One of the biggest tool for a freelance writer is to know how to find multiple angles to write about the same thing. If you’re writing about wine bar, can you write it from a kid’s point of view (not the kids drinking but the how to make wine bars kid-friendly)? Can you write it from the wine maker’s point of view? Can you write it from a collector’s point of view? There are so many ways to write on one topic.

This, fellow writers, is called repurposing (I call it rescuing for very obvious reasons – for me, at least) the article so that you can maximize your income writing on the same topic. For some of us, it comes in handy when we stupidly write the wrong topic for the wrong client looking at the wrong deadline.

If you have anything to add to this, please comment. I am sure I could use another few tricks up my sleeves. We, freelance writers, are a pretty friendly bunch of people, aren’t we?

Writers Have The Upper Hand On The Internet

AUTHOR: Marsha Maung

If not for the internet, many of us would never have made it as writers. Some of us would probably be stuck in a boring job in a kitchen or driving trucks from state to state or teaching in a kindergarten. Whilst there is nothing wrong with those professions, it’s wrong when deep inside, there’s a dire need to write and share what we know or a story with everyone else through the written word. Writing is like an itch. It needs to be scratched.

With the internet, writers get the chance to test-drive their skills, practice and get advice, promote ourselves, express our feelings and also start a business. Many writers can’t imagine what life would be like without the internet.

Of course, there are many other ways to promote oneself without the internet but let’s face it, it would be far less effective. And of course, photographers get quite a bit of help from the internet as with many other types of businesses.

But because the internet is a world where the written word is the leading reason why people can find you online, suffice to say that writers have the upper hand. If you could write a decent piece of work, you can use it to promote yourself via various methods. Almost everything is reliant on the written word.

Why Do I Twitter?

Why do I Twitter?

Well, there are a number of reasons, but let’s take a look at a hard core business marketing reason.

Paraphrasing an oft-used line from the political realm, “It’s all about the blog, stupid.”

Let me digress … I provide media replication and related multimedia services. I have been to several networking events of late and in discussions with others have asked, “So, have you been delving into Social Media any?” The answer has usually been something like, “Yeah, I have a Facebook and LinkedIn. I do keep up with Facebook,and less so with LinkedIn, etc.”

I then ask, “Are you Twittering?”  The answer has been pretty much along the lines of, “Whew, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with that!”

Spring Cleaning Your Blog

We old-timers (I hate that word!) fall into two categories, you would have:-

1. jumped from one blog to another over that period of time
2. stuck to one blog all this time because you don’t want to lose your fan-base

If you’re the kind who is from category A, then you’re probably safe because most of the stuff that you have in there on your blog (mostly on the front page and sidebar) are pretty updated. The most recent entries are displayed, and the side-bar reveals a myriad of things that are relevant to your current audience.

Is That YOU Writing…Or Someone Else?

I tried to write like Enid Blyton once because I love Enid Blyton books….I love them when I was five and I still love them today. There’s something very endearing about gnomes, pixies, brownies (I thought they were the edible kind at first) and also those naughty little boys having their faces frozen mid-scowl when the wind blew – mind-blowing. You remember that one? Yeah, it’s fantastic and out of this world. The world could end and Enid Blyton books would still be selling like mad cakes out of the oven.

I also tried to write like John Grisham because he’s really up there and I am a law graduate. I understood (sort of) all the procedures and lingos that he was using in all his books. I got all of those stuff covered. And then when I do that, I sound like a half-baked college student trying to impress her teachers and school mates and the next door neighbor’s dog.

Avid readers of love stories would definitely, positively try to write a romance novel. Those Mills and Boons stuff? Yeah, you’ve got to try writing them….but after a while, you’re afraid that you don’t know enough about all those ‘stuff’ to write them and when you try to get it published, people will laugh their faces off.

Google’s Baby Youtube Needs Help

Google’s adopted some babies in the past and it’s really interesting. I can’t name them all but I sure can name you the biggest few. YouTube (of course), Blogger (another of course!) and Picasa.

Google bought up these baby companies and have been babysitting them, raising and nurturing these little ones for a long few years and I am sitting here, wondering how Google’s trying to bring back those BILLIONS or at least, not lose any more MILLIONS. It was mentioned here that Google’s losing more or less (perhaps MORE) four-hundred-and-seventy million bucks on YouTube alone. Every year.

We all love YouTube. Who doesn’t? My kids love YouTube. You find loads of interesting stuff on YouTube. You learn to cook on YouTube but it’s funny because Google’s big enough to run their very own Google video which makes the acquisition a little nonsensical. I think the purpose of the purchase was the initial hope of turning those jaw-dropping page views into an ass-kicking jaw-dropping money-making machine monster Godzilla!

Based on reports, it’s quite clear that they’re still a little off-mark but can we blame it on the economy? Can we blame it on the fact that not as many people are interested in clicking on advertisements that actually LOOK like adverts?

Brutal Honesty About The Freelance Writing Business

Author: Marsha Maung, a freelance writer, ghost blogger and online social networking consusltant

Every now and again, I get emails or have people adding me on my Facebook account asking me if it was possible for them to become a freelance writer because:-

1. They’re a mother who is looking for extra income
2.  They’re a fresh graduate and is looking for a job
3. They think they’re bored with their current work and think they can string a couple of words together to make a living
4. They’ve just got laid off and is in the middle of a financial crisis

I would love to say that it’s possible for ANYONE to make it as a freelance writer, no, seriously, SERIOUSLY, I would. But honestly, it’s not true. I would be lying to you and at the end of the day, you’re going to hunt me down and spew curses down my throat for misleading you.

Freelance writing, much like anything else in life, needs skills and talents. Stringing a couple of words together does not a writer make. Hang on. I need to rephrase that. Stringing a couple of words together not a SUCCESSFUL freelance writer make. Freelance writers need, not only talents and skills, but he or she needs to WANT to be a writer.

Allena Tapia of about.com explained it at length about what makes a freelance writer a successful one and she has been spot on. During the early days, writers like me offer encouraging words to aspiring writers to spur them on so that they don’t despair. But it’s wrong.
