Would you like to get your information in front of as many eyes as possible in as many consumable forms as possible? Then article marketing is for you.

You need to think of how your article can be repurposed into a variety of consumable forms.

Your article as text

Write your article and then submit it to the article directories. First go deep on EzineArticles. Second go wide by submitting your articles to other popular article directories. Third submit your article to niche article directories. And finally submit your articles to your own article directories.

Your article as audio

Then you can repurpose your article content into audio. One way is to simply read and talk about your article, record it and create CDs. My favorite way though to repurpose my article content into audio content is with teleseminars. Conduct a teleseminar and record it and then you can turn that recording into audio CDs, podcasts, mp3, etc.

Then building out the other side you can have that recording transcribed and then repurpose the transcription into more text articles. In this way, as my colleague and friend Alex Mandossian says, you can "write with your mouth and not with your hands."

Your article as video

When you take your article content and repurpose it into video and then put that video on You Tube, you now have links coming back to your web site from the second highest ranked web site in the world. All you have to do is video yourself taking about your article, make and explain a few points, and there is your video.

And this is just a slice of how you can get your articles in front of as many eyes as possible in as many consumable forms as possible.

Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills.With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is

Is the Reverse Funnel System a Scam? I'm going to lay out some straight forward information to let you know what the Reverse Funnel System and Ty Coughlin's Inner Circle are all about.

First of all, the Reverse Funnel System is not a scam. You will always be able to find people that have tried to start a home business, but had no idea what they were doing, didn't have any support, and couldn't make it work. If you sign up for this business, or any business without doing the right research first, you are setting yourself up to fail. The Most Important thing you can do before you buy into the Reverse Funnel System is research the Team you want to be a part of, as well as the Sponsor who is signing you up. These people are where you will get the Knowledge that will make or break your success.

Yes, Ty Coughlin is the creator of the system, and the upper reaches of the Inner Circle are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but they are not the people you are going to be dealing with day to day to get your business off the ground. Your immediate sponsor is who you will be talking to, and working with. You should be calling people to find out who you mesh with and who you want to work with.

For example, I am part of the Global Mentors Team. As one of hundreds who can make that claim, I know that not everyone will be able to work well with me. It depends on your personality, where you come from, your experience level, etc. It may be a better fit for you to work with someone like Jonathan Budd or Tatyana Gann. While I'm very laid back and easy to talk to, you may fit better with someone who is very high-energy, more of a type-A personality. The point is to research the organization and the sponsor you are joining in this business. You can greatly increase your chances of success by doing a good job in your research of the people, not just the company.

The Global Mentors Team provides you with immense marketing and advertising resources as well as a Team Forum and Team Training site where you can get information 24-7on all facets of the business. There are hundreds of people you can join the team under, but you need to decide who you will work the best with to give yourself the best chance at success.

Have you ever wondered which of your articles are the most popular? Do you even care?

I don't know, maybe you don't. But I was wondering and thought I'd try to find out.

Now, I'm not talking about marketing effectiveness. I'm just talking about crude popularity here. You know, prettiest prom dress; winningest personality; most likely to succeed. That sort of thing.

This kind of measurement is a little tricky because you can't go on raw numbers alone. The article published 15 weeks ago will certainly register more page views than the one published last week. Don't you think?

The passage of time skews even the best of intentions.

So what can you do?

I recommend a moving average approach.

First, download the CSV version of your Articles Report into a spreadsheet. Then, go down the list and give each article a rating based on the following criteria:

Give each article one point for every page view. A little sophomoric? Perhaps. But trust me.

Now, award 10 points for each time an ezine publisher followed the EzinePublisher link to that article's html and text codes. The reason this is more valuable than page views should be obvious. The whole point to article marketing is to write articles that get publishers to pick up the article and publish it, thereby increasing your readership. To the extent that you are making this happen with your ability to write compelling and useful articles, it's a valuable measure.

For every time an article has been e-mailed, award it three points. An e-mailed article means you have at least hit the interest nerve of some member of your target audience. It may not have been a publisher so the category isn't as valuable as the EzinePublisher link, but it is more valuable than a simple page view, which doesn't necessarily mean that someone read the entire article.

Next, give yourself a point for every positive comment and take away two points for every negative comment. Hey, that's not fair!

Alright, you've got me. I guess I'll have to appeal to human nature. Most people will not take the time to leave a comment, even if they like an article. Furthermore, they are more likely to leave a positive comment than a negative one. Given these two self-evident truths, if you get a negative comment, it means you struck a nerve. Take off two points and drive on. On the other hand, if you got a positive comment go ahead and pat yourself on the back and take the points you'll get from page views, downloads and other atta-a-humanoids as a better measure.

Finally, if you got any ratings votes, give yourself a point for each star. A five-star rating will warrant you five points. A three-star rating, three points. And that's all there is to it. Well, not quite.

Now that you've tallied the points, what does it mean? The article with the most points does not win the 'most likely to succeed' contest. Remember, time skews all things.

Divide the popularity points for each article by the number of weeks that it has been published on EzineArticles. If you have an article that ends up with 49 points and you published it 10 weeks ago, that article will have a final rating of 4.9. Now, rank your articles according to that number and you have a decent measure of popularity based on a moving average.

OK, go ahead. Say, "Who cares?"
