Article marketing has been known to give great results. But this only applies when you know what you’re doing. Without the proper ‘know how’ you’ll end up nowhere.

If you plan on getting those results that experts get, then all you need to do is follow certain key habits to get there.

Just follow these guidelines and before you know it you’ll be writing and submitting articles like the experts!

1.) Submit in a regularly manner and not frequently.

Balance is essential when it comes to the quantity of submission of articles. Take note that if you submit too many articles, you’re quality is at stake. If you also submit too much, publishers might feel swarmed by you and in turn might affect your reputation as well as future submissions.

But submitting too little can lead to unrecognized efforts.

So you’re probably asking yourself, what’s too much and too few?

For article marketing, it’s a standard that you submit somewhere between 1 and 8 articles per month.

2) Demonstrate expertise thru writing rather than promotional articles.

Educational and informational articles that are not self-serving are usually what publisher seeks. This means you don’t mention your own business, products or even your website anywhere on the article. The resource box is where you should place info regarding your business and website, so try to spend effort and time on it. Articles are a way to demonstrate your expertise in a given field. Take note that effective marketers aim to teach than sell.

Your resource box functions like your bio; this is located below your article. This is where you’re free to talk about yourself,your business, products and website. Your resource box is very essential to the effectiveness of article marketing.

Take note that your resource box should entail info regarding you and your business. It should also include a call-to-action to generate click-throughs to your website. And don’t forget to include, and double-check, your link.

4) Have realistic expectations and submit articles consistently over the long term.

Article marketing is a long term marketing strategy that usually takes 3-4 months to see the results. Don’t rush on to see immediate results; perseverance is important so try to hang on. This kind of strategy takes time, patience and devotion.

5) Craft educational, and grammatically correct articles.

Effective article marketers write articles that their target market finds useful and informative. The trick here is that you must take into consideration what your visitors want to know, after which you can proceed to writing your articles, and don’t forget to proofread before submitting.

Remember that your articles are submitted on the World Wide Web, so always proofread several times.

6) Create enticing titles.

Remember that the title plays a vital role in luring readers, so try to focus on crafting attention grabbing titles. If possible, work on titles that will surely grab ones attention on the first look.

Take note that when people are looking through an article directory they’ll likely be looking for a list of titles. So it’s imperative that your title should stand out and capture the readers’ attention.

7) Creativity is essential in making up topics.

An expert article marketer is like being a professional writer wherein you need to come up with fresh ways of writing about your niche.

Articles directed to readers of different skill levels is quite a good thing, this way to newbie’s and advanced readers can read it. Try to be involved in communities in your niche and see what common problems and questions people are having. This way you get tons of info regarding your field.

Remember that in article marketing, you act as a teacher. And as a good teacher, you should find ways to communicate different elements of a subject in such a way that grabs the attention of readers.

Affiliate Marketing on Mobile Browsers

July 25th, 2010 Sara DaiVy Posted in Make Money Online No Comments » 109 views

Business Graph

If statistics are to be believed, then e-Marketer, an internet research firm states that the current numbers of mobile internet users across the globe are 450 million. With the trend of mobile commerce catching up in the internet space, it is acclaimed that Mobile Browsing will become the next big thing in the coming years and the number of users shall approximately double in the next 4 years. The constant innovation in the mobile manufacturing arena with devices and features such as PDA, camera, email, internet browsers, MP3 players etc. offer a great opportunity for affiliates to tap into the mobile space.

The increasing number of WAP users who prefer quick solutions to their problems presents a scope for affiliates to tap into three major mobile channels. Namely,

  • Mobile Messaging – Advertising opportunities via SMS or MMS for text advertisements, splash pages and animated images.
  • Mobile Web – Advertising opportunities on the mobile web involves banner advertising, text ads and branded mobile websites which work on a CPC or CPM approach.
  • Mobile Video – Mobile video includes specifically branded videos which are live, podcasts or downloaded. The advertisements here can be on the basis of pre-, post- or mid-roll adverts.
    There is a major opportunity for affiliates to build on the mobile version of their successful sites in order to guarantee newer audiences and increasing the market potential. But, the pace with which the mobile browsing has been adopted by affiliates is disheartening as companies such as Commission Junction and LinkShare have been very slow in adopting it. On the contrary, Las Vegas based  XY7 Network has made an innovative move by announcing that they are the only affiliates which possess dedicated division of WAP deals and other mobile-ad inventory for their mobile phone portal-owners and publishers.

The future success of affiliate’s lies in recognizing the fact that increase in number of mobile internet users will help develop affiliate marketing in an innovative way. Bango, a mobile payments and services company states that the mobile web will soon become the key medium of generating sale and earning revenue for mobile services and applications.

The challenge here lies in creating and implementing successful mobile affiliate marketing platforms which would change the way affiliate marketing is implemented in the mobile space. Companies such as Mobpartner and Jamster proudly boast of one of the best mobile platforms today by focusing on a particular niche of mobile payment settlements with merchants and mobile casino respectively. Belboon and MediaPlazza are also big players in the mobile browsing market offering scope to thousands of affiliates via the mobile web. Affiliates can also look into various adult affiliate marketing programs on the mobile which are also worth giving a shot, but are never safe as they most often get caught in filters. Admob is another very famous site which specializes in serving ads on the mobile version of sites and blogs.

The tremendous innovation in the mobile browsing has helped mobiles become something more than a fundamental communication device. Affiliate marketing programs on the mobile web have emerged as the next most viable mobile business model which for sure is here to stay. These mobile affiliate platforms can be further used as a particular functional strategy among broad marketing strategies such as CRM, Branding, Direct Sales and Direct Marketing implemented by companies.  The projected forecasts suggesting increment in adoption rates are indicative enough for smart affiliates to know the fact that neglecting the mobile arena as part of broader internet marketing strategies will have a negative impact on their business model and revenues.

Internet has emerged as one of the biggest revenue generation source in the past few years. It has surpassed other traditional mediums of advertising and revenue generation. The major credit goes to Affiliate Marketing programmes.

For affiliate marketing programs to be successful, it is important to increase the brand loyalty of internet users to your website. Building up user loyalty and creating a positive outlook towards your blog is one of the stepping stones to make big bucks online. Here comes the role of Affinity Targeting which aims at creating an affinity towards your website and the affiliate programs running on it.

The sense of affinity is a great medium to increase the traffic onto your website and hence increasing the conversion ratio. This is only possible when a website can command a competitive advantage over its competing websites by implementing pay per clicks, SEO to increase affiliates and creating a positive attitude towards online advertising enabling a wider audience reach.

Few steps to create affinity towards your affiliate marketing programs include;

  • Building up visitor trust by publishing unique content and showcasing its benefits.

  • Usability should be the main focus as a site which is easily navigable and not at all cluttered builds up an enjoying experience for the user.
    It is also significantly important for a brand/site to command loyalty and have the potential to emerge as one of the best names on the web. Professionals are hence on a lookout for innovative techniques to boost up their affiliate sales. Therefore, it is important to create Brand Affinity and work in tandem with your partners or affiliates to enhance the customer value.

Marketing Service Talk explains this further by mentioning four ways to work with brands:

  1. Brand Affinity – working with other brands to change perception and generate awareness for your brand;
  2. Partnership Marketing – tactical short term marketing initiatives, consisting of promotional or third party tie-ups;
  3. Affinity Marketing – Adding value to your brand via a complementary service from another brand e.g affinity credit cards;
  4. Affiliate Marketing – white labeling your product or service to others to sell for commissions such as Moneysupermarket, U Switch.

In the early days of affiliate marketing, it was looked upon as an unprofitable source of income. But with newer business models coming in, such as pay per performance and other affiliate business models by creating an online partnership with firms and thus determining their revenue sharing allotments, the internet marketing environment has evolved. Websites such as PepperJam have become one of the best in the business. Alanna Richter, VP – Marketing of NY based Bluefly says,

Affiliate Marketing During a Recession

July 25th, 2010 Sara DaiVy Posted in Make Money Online No Comments » 23 views

directory-submit-linksIt doesn’t take a genius to understand that the world is into one of the deepest recessionary slumps for the moment and it is going to continue this way for some time. But, it does take some brain storming to understand the business opportunities in this recession period. The emergence of click only companies has made brick and mortar companies suffer in their businesses and this has resulted in a decrement in their profitability.

So, the question springs up, what is the best business to be in now? Bet me on this, the answer is Affiliate Marketing.

This is the time where affiliate marketers actually can earn as much as they desire just because the payment depends on the performance. Also, the products being promoted can be ordered via online shopping which is actually a booming business presently.

The best of the reasons for online shopping catching pace is because it is a cost effective way and a competitive one as well. There have also been various polls being conducted which have emphasized the importance of affiliate marketing through SEO during the recession. There are various internet marketing strategies which can also be followed successfully.

Few other strategies which affiliates should implement in times of recession to come out successful:

  • Target the niche users always helps as there increases the chance of a focused search by a prospective customer who is desperate and has the drive to generate sales for him/her and profits for you.
  • Increase in conversions and traffic also plays an important role and there comes in effect the role of proper promotional efforts for your product. It is worth remembering that this is a ‘numbers game’ and the more efforts you put in, the more numbers you get.
  • Focus more on PPC because there could be a decrease in the final sales of a product, but there would always be focused searches. So, the scope of earning money through pay per click should be well grasped upon.
  • Improve networking in these times with fellow bloggers, websites, community forums etc. as these people would be of help when the recession ends. On the recovery, you could be in a good position to capitalize on the surge in spending. Nevertheless, always keep in mind the target market of yours while interacting and making friends.

All said and done, it could also be the right time to change the design of your site and make it more attractive. Always remember, “Looks do Sell”. Also essential is to understand the fact that there cannot be a mercurial rise in the market conditions in the near future, thus it is time to focus and strategize in a better and effective way. Stress more on the volume which can be generated and keep a close eye on the present rends with the decline in spending all across the globe.

Article marketing: How to Effectively and Efficiently Make Money Online

March 26th, 2009 Sara DaiVy Posted in Internet Marketing, Make Money Online No Comments » 166 views

One of the most effective ways of making money online is article marketing. It is also a very effective means to promote your online business and other sites. The process involves submitting your articles to various web properties that publish them on their sites and this allows you to build links back to your own sites. This then increases your exposure to both internet surfers and search engines, and thus helps in driving traffic to your site which you use to convert into sales, leads, clicks, etc.

Article Directories are not the only way.

There was a time when article directories were the best way to do article marketing. Today it is no longer the case, and article directory submission has become only an arm of the article marketing engine, whereas it used to be the primary means to do it. Don’t get me wrong, it is still an effective way on it’s own but now there are other equally powerful means to do it.

The sheer quantity of article directories, however still make it a viable means to get good relevant one way backlinks. It is best to start off with the most popular ones such as EzineArticles and GoArticles among others, as they already have good foothold in this niche. You can then extend to the other smaller article directories to diversify your reach.

The Web 2.0 Revolution

Sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages, Wetpaint, and others have opened up many opportunities for article marketing. With some of these sites alone you can already make money online selling products, either of your own or as an affiliate without having your own website. All you need is good quality content, a good product to promote and a well structured page on these Web 2.0 sites. As far as article marketing is concerned, it is also a very powerful way to get links back to your online business or websites.

The popular Web 2.0 sites already generate a lot of traffic and building your own pages on them allows you leverage the popularity of these sites to promote your own sites, through backlinking and RSS feeds. If you create content on these sites that are relevant and compelling your page may become more popular and increases the possibilities of readers looking at the sites you are linking to for more information.

The Rise of the Blog Networks

How do you get other blogs on related topics to your site link back to you? First of all, you will need very good and unique content, with information that other site owners like and will gladly link back to. Easier said than done, as it is not always easy to come up with great content on a consistent basis. This limits the amount of link you may get. What if I told you that there are blog networks that exist where members are able to submit versions of their articles to certain blogs on specific niches within these networks thereby getting one-way, targeted, keyword backlinks to their own sites.

A number of networks such as these have existed for the past few years, however a majority of them are only accessible to members who pay a fixed monthly fee to access the blogs in each network. Each of these networks can have from as little as 100 blogs to as many as 10,000 or even more, with a wide variety of niche blogs in their networks. This is a very powerful article marketing strategy as it can target a specific niche with highly relevant keyword links, and when used over various networks increases it’s effectiveness. An example of such membership based blog networks is the one from Portal Feeder.

Promoting your online business or website with the use of article marketing is not hard, however you need to keep a few things in mind when doing it.

The best results come with the use of all these methods of article marketing together as a cohesive article marketing strategy. Sticking to one method limits the potential the areas that a particular method can cover. If you believe that search engine rankings, Google in particular rely a lot on the number quality backlinks to a site in order to rank them on their indexes, then it would be foolish not to utilize every article marketing method available as it will increase the number on links you can potentially have.

The quality of your content plays as much a part of your success in article marketing as the number of links you get. Using any of the methods above still require you to create content that is worthy of being read. Your authority on a specific topic determines whether or not you will get the most out of your article marketing campaign. Remember, you are marketing articles to provide information, and the search for good information is what makes people read your articles. Make your articles good, compelling and unique, make them stand out and you will get both search engine and human interest traffic coming your way.

So now you know that these are methods exist for you to use in promoting your online business or websites. If you need more information on the Article marketing you can read more at http://www.services.ph

How do you start to make money blogging ?

March 26th, 2009 Sara DaiVy Posted in Make Money Online No Comments » 110 views

According to Wikipedia, “A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of web site where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary).” (Wikipedia, March 2007) It was not until recently however, that people have been using blogging as a full time home based business and have been making enough money to make it worth while.

So, how do you start to make money blogging? Believe it or not, It’s actually fairly easy to get started. If you have a access to a computer and internet it can even be completely free! If you do not have a computer at home, you can always go to your local library and blog from there. So, if you are serious about making money blogging, there should be no excuses stopping you.

Once you decide that blogging is right for you, you need to find a blogging platform. There are a number of web sites that will allow you to host your blog. Alternatively, you can create you own website and blog using wordpress. If you decide that making your own blog web site is a little beyond your technical skills, you can use any of the following companies.

  1. Blogger.com
  2. Blog.com
  3. BlogToolKit.com
  4. Wordpress.com
  5. LiveJournal.com

Obviously there literally hundreds of other blogging sites that you can use. Feel free to do a search for “free blog” in your favorite search engine.

Once you have a platform from which to start blogging, you need to decide on your “niche” market. Think about the last time you searched on the internet for a topic that you wanted to learn more about? Perhaps you even found our site by doing such a search. The simple fact is, people go to the internet to find information. If you can supply that information, you will begin to accrue readers and profit from that web traffic.

By choosing a niche market, like make money blogging for example, you are funneling the search traffic into a select group of people who will actually be interested in what you have to say. So, rather than coming to your blog and hitting the back button, the reader will see that your blog is about their interests and will stay and read.

The next step is to blog every day. In fact, one of the biggest mistakes new bloggers make is thinking that they can post a blog and forget about it. This is NOT the case. In order to make it big, you have to keep readers interested and coming back to your blog again and again.

It’s really not hard to do, especially if you chose a niche market that you are interested in. People really do want to know what you have to say, even if it is only opinions or your daily life story. Once you get someone interested, they will come back time and time again and that is where the money is made.

Next, you need to throw up some ads. You can choose from any number of ad companies but for beginners we suggest either Google Adsense, or Yahoo Marketing

Once you have your ads up and once you attract enough readers, sit back, continue blogging and watch the money come in. Each time someone views your blogs, there is a chance (usually around 2%) that they will click on an ad and you will get paid. Talk about an easy home business! The more readers you get, the more money you will rake in. Some blogs make well over 6 figures a year and the sky is the limit. So why not get started and begin making money by blogging?
