Marketing on
the Internet
is a whole different story because
of the way
your articles reach humans who have an interest
in them. Article Marketing will help you increase
your link popularity, search engine positioning for your keywords and phrases, and it helps you reach more potential customers for your products or services.
What qualifications do I have to show you how to format your author resource box?
My company owns and operates 5 article directories that have over 10,000 articles listed online. I've seen every type of article submission there is. We typically get 100's of submissions every single day!!!
Convinced? Let's move on!
"About The Author" is the reason why you write articles in the first place. It's your own personal dedicated section that gives you the tool to promote anything you want. Failure to promote yourself properly might result in loss of potential business.
About The Author - Dos & Donts....
=================================================
Ex1: "For more information visit mysite398u5.com"
This form of promoting yourself is a huge mistake! First of all, many directories automatically activate your link ONLY if it is formatted properly. What I mean by that is that you need to add "http://" in front of the link. Without using http:// your link may not actually be activated by the article directory site. As you can see above, I didn't use http://www.mysite398u5.com!
Second, this style of "about the author" is terrible. Granted, if your reader wants to keep reading about the topic you wrote, they MAY visit your website. Once they get there, then what? If you want to use a simple "one liner" like the above example, at least send your visitor to another article that relates to the one you provided. This way, your visitor won't feel lost looking around your website for more articles. On another note, if you send your visitor to this page... (Ex. http://www.mysite398u5.com/my-articles.html) you can then promote your products and services around your articles. You've now sent your visitor to read more articles while at the same time promoting more of your products and services!
=================================================
Ex2: "Martin Lemieux is the owner of Smartads, he helps people promote their business online."
Whoops, where is the authors website? I've come across many articles that didn't utilize the power of marketing through their author resource box. Instead, they decided to add a link near the top of the article which MANY article directories are against. If you promote your business in the "body" of the article, your running a chance of alltogether loosing the promotion for your business. Make sure to promote your business in the appropriate section of your article (at the very bottom).
=================================================
Ex3: "This article is a copyright of my company."
"Note to the editors: You may reprint this article as long as you activate one link, the article remains exactly the way I submitted it, and so on..."
Where is the promotion? Oh wait there it is, below all the copyright information, below everything else. Copyright information should be the very last thing people will ever read. Most website owners know enough to pay attention to the bottom of the article for your copyright information. Why would you use your valuable promotion spot in order to warn people that this article is yours? Promote your business first, then worry about telling webmasters about your reprint guidelines.
=================================================
Ex4: <![CDATA["<a href="www.yoursite211.comwww.yoursite211.comwww.yoursite211.com>."]]>
This is THE MOST COMMON mistake authors do. Making sure that you properly format your HTML link is crucial. Not all article directories will fix this grave mistake. There's a proper format for creating a link, here it is...
<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoursite211.com/">Text Line</a>]]>Real simple. Any variations from this example will result in a loss of your most important commodity, the link pointing to your site!!!
=================================================
Ex5: "www.Yoursite2032.net." & "emailme@something203.com."
Most article directory websites will activate your website links for you if they are properly displayed. Adding a "." beside the link, can sometimes de-activate the link alltogether. This happens because the article directory system thinks that your link is part of a sentence, not an actual link to be activated! The same applies for your email account, refrain from adding a "dot" in front of, or behind your email account, simply add a space if you need to.
=================================================
Now that we've seen some samples of things not to do, let's move on and actually creating a great resource box!
Here's an outline on the information that should be found in your resource box:
1) Your name
2) What you do, who your company is
3) Where people can find more information about you
4) Give away a free gift (if you want to)
5) A product or service
6) Copyright information
That's it! Let's see this in action....

Just what are the Benefits of Submitting Articles to E-Zines
E-zine advertising is perhaps one of the most underused forms of promotion.
It is a good idea to do
your homework, before launching
your viral marketing campaign. Article writing and publishing has become the latest buzz in the internet website marketing world. The name of the game as far as Internet marketing
Right now, I'd like to offer you a condensed, brief crash course on article marketing and writing and quickly demonstrate to you how these little "viral cash generating goldmines" can instantly increase your traffic and sales.
Forget everything you were taught in English class. Writing articles Is "meatball writing". You want to write in your own style and at an 8th grade reader level...
Here are 7 effective tactics for explosive article marketing:
1. Don't try to impress your readers with your sheer intelligence.
2. Don't use big words when you can use much simpler, shorter words that have the same meaning.
3. Don't bore your readers! Add some sizzle and spice.
4. Be unique and show your personality! Don't be afraid to be yourself.
5. Always keep your articles short, sweet, concise... and to the point. Each article should be about 300 to 700 words.
6. When adding articles (as content) to your website, you can make your article as long as you'd like, however when submitting to article directories to promote your affiliate products and or your own sites you want to follow their strict guidelines which usually involve a specific maximum word count and format.
7. Use bulleted points and break up lines of text with transitional effects like this... and this -- or use (parenthesis like this) to make it easier on your reader's eyes.
And always try to keep this vital tips in mind as well when writing...
A well marketing article should consist of short sentences and short paragraphs, bulleted points and sub-headings, each addressing a specific point of topic in your article.
There should be lots of white space within your article body. Most people look at large blocks of text and will go away from your article very quickly. You do not want to lose your reader.

I think a good author's resource box is short and sweet. An author's resource box that is written in the style of a classified ad and explains your credentials as well as the benefits of the offer works well.
What I've seen people do to increase their results from article marketing is also to break up a very long article into different parts, so there is part 1, part 2...but leaving them wanting more by having the remainder of your article on your website is a great tactic. I haven't used it myself before, but I know others are having success with it. It leaves things hanging and that always gets click-throughs.
A little enthusiasm in your resource box surely helps, and you do need to be enthusiastic about your products and be willing to put on the sales hat online to make sales, but too much of the hyperbole and people do get turned off. So probably a balance would work.
[b]How To Outsource Article Writing[/b]
I personally use freelancers myself to write some of my articles; I'm looking for volume but I'm also looking for quality. So before I hire a writer, I'd always check out their samples first. And if they are good, I hire them to write articles for me.
I typically get a batch of 10-20 articles first before doing anything of a more bigger scale or giving my writers repeat projects. I like to make sure they are producing quality work.
If you're doing article marketing, be in it for the long-term. There's a lot of patience required to see some tremendous results from article marketing, but the wait will be well worth it, and you'll get some pretty nice long-term traffic.

The Budget Webmasters 6 Step Guide to Improving Existing Rankings in Google
You know the scenario. You get an occasional click from Google for a certain keyword. You go to find out why you arent getting more clicks, and you find out that youre ranked in the 30's, 50's, or heaven forbid, the 300's. Great, you think, I finally get ranked for a good keyword and its a worthless ranking.
Not necessarily.
If you got ranked for a keyword you wanted At All, the games not over yet. If your sites content is geared towards that subject, you can get your ranking in search engines increased, at no cost. How?
The first thing you want to do is find out how well you are ranked for this keyword. For Google in particular, this used to be a difficult chore. In the old days of 2003, youd spend your valuable time doing a search on your desired keyword, then a sub-search for your site, and crawling through pages of listings to find out exactly where you stood.
Now there is hope in the form of the following website. Direct your browser to:
http://www.googlerankings.com/index.php
You can use this site to find out what number you come up for in the Google listings, which can be very powerful information if used correctly. If youre ranked in the top 1000, you have a shot at raising your listing for that page by tweaking the page to be a little more relevant.
So, secondly, you have to know how good a shot you have at getting a better listing. Go to:
http://www.searchguild.com/difficulty/
I posted a tip about this a month ago, and its also in the free optimization Guide I released the week of March 7th. It tells you how hard it is to rank well for certain keywords in Google. Youll need a free Google API key to use it.
Now that you know your chances, the third piece of information you need to know is how much traffic you can expect. Digital Point has a free tool that gives an approximation of how many hits per day a good ranking gets. Access it here:
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/
Okay, lets say everything checks out so far. You rank in the top 1000. The term you want wont be that hard to get, and will get you enough traffic per month to justify your efforts.
Our fifth step is to take the term you chose and optimize your page.
This site does periodic reports on the search engines, and their February report gives their analysis of what the best ranking pages in Google have in common. And as a free bonus, it will also tell you what Yahoo wants. Follow the following link for details-http://www.gorank.com
Now that you know what to shoot for, you need to know how the page you want will measure up- you need to calculate your keyword density. You can also do the sixth step at gorank.com - it has a free tool that will calculate it for you. Prepare your page with that in mind, re-upload, and youre almost done.
Great, youre all set. Now you should submit your site to Google, right?
Wrong. Absolutely not. If you can help it, you should never, ever submit any page of your site to Google. Let it find you. HOW it finds you can affect your page rank. I dont mean that there is a standard penalty for submitting. Theres been speculation on that for a while but I have yet to prove it matters.
What I DO know from personal experience and testing on my members sites, is that getting the Googlebot search engine spider to happen upon your site shaves up to 6 weeks off the standard time it takes for indexing. You can show up in Google in as little as 4 days.
Which site links to you can also affect your Google Page Rank. While this is not as important as it once was, it still carries significant weight my site didnt start getting spidered on a daily basis until my Page Rank increased to 5.
So even if the spider comes to your site on a Monthly basis, youre better off waiting for the spider to come back by. Thats the seventh step, let your page be re-discovered with its great new changes.
And yes, theres an even faster, better way to get Google.coms search engine spider to re-index that page, but thats another article, isnt it?

Just what are the Benefits of Submitting Articles to E-Zines

the most underused forms of promotion.

Internet marketing
Article marketing is undoubtedly the most efficient and cost effective product and website promotional tool these days. It is being used by a lot of webmasters from across the globe because it can easily augment website's traffic and increase their sales potential.
Here are the 4 popular steps to explode your article marketing:
1. Target market. The one element that will guarantee you success in article marketing is knowing how to satisfy your target market. When you do, you can be assured that your articles will be widely read and distributed online. This is the reason why it is very crucial to know the people you are writing for even before you tap on your key board. Get to know their needs, demands, profile, and preferences. These can help you make your articles more targeted and focused to their demands.
2. Titles. When people search for information online, they are usually presented with numerous articles. People choose the article to read based on title alone at least on this point. Don't let your articles be ignored by giving them titles that are truly interesting and attention-grabbing. This can help you dramatically increase your clickthrough rate.
3. Writing skills. Never be contented with what you know and strive to improve on your craft so you can always offer the best to your readers. This can easily be done through constant practice and by attending seminars or coaching programs that are specifically created to help you excel in the field of writing.
4. Quantity. One of the best ways to excel in article marketing is to multiply the number of your output to easily augment the number of your inbound links. If you can't extend your writing hours, you can hire ghostwriters to do the legwork for you.

I am going to try and keep this series of articles straight to the point as I will try to give you a very simple and proven plan that you can use right away to start generating profits from your home internet business using the bum marketing method.
However, be advised as there will be some work involved. Like anything in life you reap what you sow. Most people make the common mistake when they start a home based internet business of mainly doing research. To succeed you need to use a system that works and then take massive action. So by not taking any action even if their website is not perfect they ultimately set themselves up for failure.
At this point you may question me and ask can I really be successful with this system? Well this is my own unique system that I am personally using so that I know it works. I am sure that you must have read plenty of adverts by now promising instant riches. Well I am sorry to disappoint you as this system will not provide instant riches. However, if you follow it you will build a stable internet business with hard work that can become lucrative if you are persistent and have an entrepreneurial mindset. So just remember that all you need is time and massive effort to succeed using bum marketing.
The very first step is just to get going using this proven bum marketing method. Most people have a mental barrier about succeeding online. Once you put in some work and you earn your first few dollars you will realize that success is possible. This will allow you to focus more and achieve better results.
Usually people who fail with internet marketing have actually never had any tangible success. That is the main reason they give up as they think of it as an impossible dream.
I am really a bit introverted so running a business where I need to call people or sit in a shop really does not appeal to me. I once tried face to face selling and I absolutely hated it. I think that is why most people fail in network marketing as nobody likes rejection.
So with this system of bum marketing it entails mainly communicating or writing and thinking like an entrepreneur. You can start off by recommending products as an affiliate marketer using a system like Clickbank to earn commissions. Once you start seeing results you can also develop your own unique products.

Most webmasters are looking for ways on how they can promote their websites without spending too much but still get the kind of traffic that will bring them huge profit. Article marketing is considered one of the most effective ways in promoting your products and driving organic traffic to your website without shelling out your precious dimes. As such, it is one of the most used marketing strategies by webmasters these days.
If you are currently using this technique but still want to improve the number you are getting in terms of profit and traffic, these 4 big steps will help you advance in article marketing:
1. Write more articles. The quantity of your articles plays a major role in the success of your article marketing campaign. Simply because, each submission grants you one quality back link to your website. Thus, the number of your articles dictates the number of your backlinks.
2. Post your articles to paid submission sites. If you are willing to spend money on this technique, you can do so by joining paid submission sites. These sites allow you to put HTML codes on the body of your articles. In addition, they post your articles quicker because they put them on high priority.
3. Get article submission software. Submitting your articles manually can take a lot of time. If you want to focus on writing articles, I strongly suggest that you get article submission software that will electronically distribute your articles to over 200 submission sites in just few clicks.
4. Permit other online users and webmasters to use your articles. Provided they post your website link on their site. This can lead to massive distribution of your articles that can result to even great exposure for you and your products.

Here are some common fears, misconceptions and hesitations that I myself experienced when I first began writing articles for the web. Do you know what carrying around such fear accomplishes?
NOTHING!
Your fear and self-doubt prevents you from submitting web articles that serve as global marketing for your website, ebook, ezine, blog... and any other place where you market your unique product and services! And that stops your business from booming like it can so easily out here on the web.
Some of the below fears took me as long as JUST LAST WEEK to expel from my brain! (Okay - maybe last month).
Dina's Article Fear 1: My article must not have any typos, ever!
Dina's Article Fear 2: No one will notice my articles in such a congested (popular) category as mine.
Dina's Article Fear 3: I can't write an article that's under 800 words.
Dina's Article Fear 4: I can't write articles as fast as I need to keep up with the volume needed on the web.
Dina's Article Fear 5: I will attract "lower food chain" clients if I write articles that are short and simple.
One noteworthy point about my past article fears:
Ultimately, my fears never stopped me from writing articles. Hence, I was able to blow past all of them and move closer toward my article marketing goals.
I took my articles to the next level by following along with what Chris and the EzineArticles.com team had to offer in the way of article direction, support and motivation. YOU CAN, TOO. And if you want to grow a business on the web - this information is crucial.
So, now it's your turn. What stops you from writing articles? How can I help you overcome your obstacles? Let's conquer those fears together. After all, the only thing that's *really* stopping us is... US.

Article marketing is a great way to build an internet business. One of the things I really like about article marketing is the more articles that you write and post on the article directories, the more traffic, prospects, publicity and profits come your way.
Article marketing is a numbers game - the higher your article numbers, the higher the rest of your numbers (traffice, prospects, subscribers, customers) will be.
Life begins around 100 articles
Now don't panic. One hundred articles sounds like an unreachable goal if you are just starting out, but it is achievable. I have one student/mentee that is going for 100 articles in 100 days.
Once you get to that level, and sometimes even before, you begin to experience the benefits of something I have come to call "The John Grisham Effect."
You know what it is like - you read a novel by an author you have never read before. You really like the book. So you want to read more by the same author. You go looking for what else that author has written. Sometimes you wind up reading everything that author has written.
It is the same as you begin to get more and more articles on the article directories. Someone finds and uses your article, and they have found your article to be very useful. So then the reader wants to know if you have written anything else. Then your new prospect is excited because they have found more information by you.
Pretty soon you have a loyal reader, subscriber, fan and maybe even customer. All from writing and marketing good quality articles.

Also, make sure that the links will take the readers to the appropriate web page where they can easily get the information they are looking for or place an order should they become interested with your offers.
2. To convince online users to read and republish your articles, they must be content-rich, offer solutions to the pressing issues of your target market, keyword-rich, easy to understand, and they must be all well-written.
3. Make search engines index your articles by simply using relevant keywords on your articles. Your content must be highly relevant to the keywords that you are targeting to avoid being tagged as keyword spammer.
4. Convert readers to potential clients by enticing them to click on your resource box. Offer "baits" such as free ebooks or vouchers to effectively move them to visit your site.

Viral marketing is a methods of list building
There are multiple methods
of list building, and if you are just getting started, until you have gained mastery over one or two methods, it is advisable to use multiple methods of list building strategies. You’ll see every step of the process, no matter how small, in exacting detail so
Not every person who visits your website will spend money. But, some will. And, if they subscribe to your mailing list they may spend lots of money buying multiple products.
Over the long haul, each person who visits your site has an average value. By knowing this value, you can successfully manage advertising campaigns, confident you will not be overspending.
The simple way to determine the average value of a visitor is to take the total sales your site generated and divide by the total number of visitors. So, if your site produced $25,000 in sales and 10,000 people visited your site, the value of each visitor would be $25,000/10,000 or $2.50.
Knowing this figure, you may be inclined to think that using a pay-per-click campaign with a maximum of $2.40 cents per click would be a way to increase net profits. But, we may need to look deeper.
So far we've taken only the high level view at 30,000 feet. Looking down from that level we can see only the broad outline of what's going on. In fact, there may be different types of visitors and different ways of attracting those visitors.
Buyers and Subscribers
Novice affiliate marketers are mostly interested in attracting visitors who may become buyers on their visit. Their web pages are heavy on sales copy, testimonials, and bonuses. A visitor is either a buyer or not. The simple value of each visitor is based on the total commissions earned divided by the total number of visitors.
More sophisticated Internet marketers understand that the main goal for each new visitor is not to convert them into a buyer. Rather, it's to convert them into a subscriber. Once they subscribe to your newsletter or ezine, you can recommend a number of products related to your niche.
Your maximum profits come from people who are members of your mailing list. Because subscribers may buy several products, the value of each subscriber can be many times that of a visitor who either buys or does not buy a single product.
Two Types of Visitors - Two Measures of Value
Now, it's easy to see that there can be at least two types of visitors to your site. There are those who want to purchase a particular product and those who want to learn more about a subject area or niche.
And, this means that you can attract these two type of visitors with two types of ads. The "buy or not" visitor can be attracted by an ad that says, "Get Product X at a Deep Discount". The potential subscriber can be attracted by an ad that says, "All the Secrets of Niche Y Exposed Before Your Eyes."
You, thus, have two types of visitors, each with different average values. And, you can direct them to different pages on your site and determine their separate average values. This allows you to better evaluate the amount you're willing to spend on your advertising campaigns.
Summary
The value of a visitor depends on why you attract that visitor. Knowing the value of each type of visitor is powerful. It help you manage your advertising campaigns to better maximize your profits.

Driving traffic to your website and gaining higher search engine rank positions can be done in several ways and each are important as an overall strategy, however in this article I am going to focus on one main way which is link building.
In specific when planning a link building strategy it is of the utmost importance to realise that not any old links pointing to your site are advantageous. In fact some links to your site can have the complete opposite effect and be detrimental to the performance of your websites rankings.
You need to plan which type of sites you are targeting to build link relationships with and the obvious first starting point on the link building platform is to look for links from sites that are of a similar nature and category as your own.
The saying goes that birds of a feather stick together and this is most true in search engine optimisation as in general most major search engines will tend to rank you higher if you site becomes what is known as an authority site and has many links from sites offering similar and complimentary content matter.
Combined with this criterion is the added fact that these similar content sites to your own should be quality sites that in turn may be well linked to from other quality content sites.
As you will see there is a constant theme emerging here that quality content sites with a similar theme when linked together aid and assist each other to improve their search engine ranking positions and in turn this brings increased visitor traffic.
Moving on one step further in our link building strategy we can improve our chances of increased search engine positioning even more by obtaining links from these high quality content sites in one direction only, in other words to optimise the benefits of these links we need to obtain them in such a way, if possible, that there is no requirement to link back.
One way links from quality content and authorities sites can be considered as the most beneficial links to obtain and are seen by most search engine optimisation experts as the best.
Now of course in general most website owners are unlikely to give you a one way link without some sort of compensation, but there are ways were you can obtain links and these methods should be part of your overall strategy.
Remember that, in my opinion, this should be looked at as a marathon and not a 100 yard dash, in other words working on a strategy to consistently obtain links to your site over a long period of time is far better than having one mad session for a day and then forgetting the whole business to move onto some other interest.
It has been suggested by some people that the longer a website has been registered online and operating the better it is perceived as far as search engine rankings is concerned and with this in mind it would also seem quite logical that the long term link building approach should also fall into line with these thoughts.
Some obvious ways of receiving one way links to your website could include writing articles and submitting them to article directories and also using website link directories.
Of course trends will come and go so you should always be prepared to adapt and look for new ways to increase your link building methods but the main quality you will need is to prepare a plan and take positive action on a regular basis.

Marketing your elder care service in today's "mature market", means offering added value at every turn. Setting yourself apart from the competition and convincing your prospects that they would be absolutely crazy to do business with anyone else but you is essential to your survival.
Understanding and addressing the financial concerns of clients may seem foreign to many elder care service providers, but without that knowledge and a proactive approach to helping them solve those problems, elder care services lose private pay clients faster.
Some of the key concepts that all providers should have a basic knowledge of, and a referral source for include:
Reverse Mortgages- using home equity to pay for immediate long-term care needs at home.
Long-Term Care Insurance- be sure to ask if your client has this important coverage.
Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit- is your client a veteran or were they married to a veteran who is now deceased? This benefit can help pay for in-home care for longer periods of time.
o The Veterans' Administration offers a Special Pension with Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit that is largely unknown. This Special Pension (part of the VA Improved Pension program) allows for Veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing, undressing or taking care of the needs of nature to receive additional monetary benefits. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisted living facility also qualifies.
o This most important benefit is overlooked by many families with Veterans or surviving spouses who need additional monies to help care for ailing parents or loved ones. This is a "pension benefit" and is not dependent upon service-related injuries for compensation. Most Veterans who are in need of assistance qualify for this pension. Aid and Attendance can help pay for care in the home, nursing home or assisted living facility. A Veteran is eligible for up to $1,519 per month, while a surviving spouse is eligible for up to $976 per month. A couple is eligible for up to $1,801 per month*.

For most people that are starting an internet business they are very limited with their advertising budget. There are free advertising sources that you can use.
I have tested these free advertising sources with varying results of success. The first one and probably the easiest is forum marketing. Based on my own personal testing I found that about fifty percent of people would remove themselves from my newsletter. The second was web 2 advertising like articles on Digg. However, I found it extremely difficult to get this traffic to actually convert. The only method that I found to convert leads into customers consistently was article marketing.
I promote my internet business using the following method of article marketing.
Choose a niche market to focus the articles that you are writing for. Create an attention grabbing headline first. Write the introduction and conclusion next. Brain storm ideas for the body encapsulating each idea in a bullet point. It is very important that you share a slice of your expertise. Make sure that you help your reader. If you do this correctly then they will want to subscribe to your newsletter and learn more.
In the resource box you can offer a free report for download from your squeeze page. When your reader actually clicks on the resource box they will go to your squeeze page. You need to ensure that the squeeze page submits the name and email details to your autoresponder. I suggest that you use a professional service like Getresponse.
Finally, you will have a series of opt in emails that will follow up with your prospects, build a relationship and sell them products.
