Submitting Articles Directly to Ezines

A lot of people don’t know that submitting articles directly to ezines is a wonderful way to supercharge article marketing efforts.

It makes perfect sense, but somehow this article marketing method is grossly overlooked by beginners and gurus alike.

Here’s the logic of why submitting articles directly to ezines is a powerful and effective strategy.

When you submit your article to an article directory (and you should) you are one of MANY other articles on the site.

Maybe your article will be found – maybe not.

But when your article appears in an ezine it is the ONLY article in that ezine.

So, every reader of that ezine can read YOUR article without the distraction of a million other articles all screaming “read me!”

Don’t get me wrong, article directories are great. But if you are marketing with articles, or want to, and are not submitting directly to ezines you are leaving money on the table.

I know that’s true because I’ve been there. When I was first a member of the DOE (Directory of Ezines) I submitted articles as often as I could. And it worked.

Effective article marketing is a BIG part of how I went from being a member of the DOE to owning the company.

How can you find the right ezines for your articles?

The DOE of course!

Between our database of ezines and the personal consulting I offer it’s the best value online.

Internet Marketing: Are You Pushing or Pulling?

Online marketing can be confusing. Nothing offline prepares us to work online, and terms like “autoresponder” or “solo ad” are foreign at best.

Let me help simplify things a bit.

There really are only two methods of marketing online.

Push marketing and pull marketing.

Once you see the difference you will better know where
to spend your time and money, and that knowledge alone
will help you save both.

What Do I Do First? What Do I Do Next?

Once you have decided to do Internet marketing you are faced with an almost insurmountable task, the task of beginning. If you have an Internet marketing background like selling on EBay or you’re familiar with Internet jargon your learning curve will be much shallower and easier.  Nevertheless, you will have a learning curve.

You can level your learning curve by seeking a mentor or you can go it alone. Many choose to go it alone because they’re broke and they have heard the call of making fast money online. In ten days, in thirty days, you will be a millionaire. Some might, most won’t. Are you one of the many who won’t be successful at Internet marketing? Find out how not to be one the unfortunate many and what you should do first. Read this.

This is not about buying into some program or finding a mentor. If you’re broke, you don’t have the money to buy into a program and most mentors aren’t consulting for free. So forget that.

Reviews

WARRIOR FORUM

The Warrior  Forum is one of the best support forums that I have visited.  Questions are promptly answered and replies are in one of two modes: WYSIWYG and a plain text.

It is moderated so that spamming is nonexistent.  There’s no bashing that I’ve ever encountered and the contributors are very helpful.  Reading their posts helped me level my steep learning curve.  Best of all, it’s FREE!

If you haven’t been there, preview their forum with this link.

THEMES

Creating your blog/website is made so much easier using a wordpress theme.  Wordpress.org  has many themes to choose from.  But you don’t always find one that suits your needs.

Such was the case for this “blogweb” (we may have just coined a new word).  I downloaded a free wordpress theme from Nice2Create.com and proceeded to tweak it to my needs.  Needless to say, not knowing what I was doing, I ran into problems with the code.   The support I received from Nice2Create.com was excellent.   Visit them.  I’m not an affiliate.

 FREE PLUG-INS

I found a really neat website that offers a variety of FREE plug-ins that are Wordpress compatible with very good documentation.  I downloaded Max Banner Ads.  I’m using it on this website.

Article Writing – Adjusting Characters per Line – A Useful Tip

Reformatting your article to 60 or 65 characters per line and the word processor won’t cooperate?  Here’s how.

Let’s assume that you are new to Internet marketing and you choose article writing as your primary means of generating traffic. To make your article pretty you choose some exotic beautiful font, pleasing to the eye.  You prepare your article with great care only to discover when you submit your article that the publisher insists the article be 65 characters per line.

If you have ever tried to adjust the margins and manually count the characters in each line to meet the required 65 characters per line, you have experienced total frustration.  If you use MS Word, most of the fonts are what are called proportional fonts.  Their widths vary with the length of the line.  So no matter how you adjust the margins to the longest line and count out your 65 characters per line, the proportional font characters per line just keep on changing.  It’s a nightmare.

Guru Magic – Saying No!


You decide that Internet marketing is for you.  All you have to do, if you’re an affiliate, is sell someone’s product and you are on your way.  Wrong!

How many of us have been flooded by emails announcing the one secret you need to insure your success in Internet marketing?  Or maybe surfing the Internet, you click on links and hit a ‘squeeze page’ or ‘landing page’.  Secrets like keyword mastery, traffic generation, perfecting your writing skills, advertising secrets, indispensable software, and e-books, are just a few.

If you are new to this, you have experienced this.  I have.  As a newbie I am so very tempted to buy them all.  I almost have.  Maybe you have too?  There’s no doubt that there are tools that you have to buy to advance your knowledge.  The question is how many programs, e- books, or videos do you have to buy to learn the secret to success?  Probably a lot fewer than you think.  Read the rest of this entry »
