Successful Article Marketing Strategy

As you read this article, I am assuming that you want to get better at your article marketing, which is why your reading this. There is a great strategy that every article marketer should use, and it's called, no thinking article writing. This is the article marketing guru's secret. To not think when writing an article.

When you think when you write an article, your just wasting time. And for an article marketer, time is everything. The more you think, the more time you waste, the more time you waste, the less amount of articles you produce. You have to learn how to write an article without thinking. I bet your thinking, how do I do that? How am I supposed to write without thinking? As I write this article, I'm not thinking, I'm just typing in whatever my mind is telling me to type in.

This is no thinking article writing. It wastes the less amount of time, to write an article. When you actually try to think when writing an article, you end up brainstorming, and writing a rough draft, even before you start writing your final draft. This is horrible! You can be using that time that your wasting, to make more articles. As an article marketer, you need to know, that the writer who writes the most amount of articles, the fastest, is going to win over the market! You have to stop wasting your time preparing to write an article, and just do it.

Writing an article isn't Shakespeare. When you write one, your not trying to create a work of art. You just want to get information out into the world so people can read it and decide whether they're interested or not. Your article just needs to be good, not great. If you were to use the school's grading system as a reference, you should be trying to create a C article, not an A+ article.

Global Resorts Network and the GRN Teambuilder - What's Up With That?

Having spent the majority of my life in marketing and advertising, selling everything from radio and television air time to fine imported chocolate, I'm always intrigued by new and interesting approaches to the process. Long ago, I learned that creativity is plagiarism with a flair. You simply can't reinvent the wheel. But, along the road I did discover that thoughtful tiny adjustments make a big difference in how that wheel moves.

Global Resorts Network has an extraordinary product that requires less hard selling and simply making the offer. Everyone goes on vacation and if they don't, they want to. Good. An excellent product is paramount. But when the GRN Teambuilder came into focus, what I found was a beautifully efficient wheel; one that not only smoothly rides the road but clearly maps out where you want to go.

Just imagine a clear route to success? One that has taken into consideration every bump and pothole along the way? I find this an amazing approach, as most home based opportunities are laced with so much fancy adornment I could hardly find the meat of the matter. I wanted not only a good, smooth wheel, I wanted a vehicle surrounding it that could point out the road signs and make sure I get to my destination.

What's up with Global Resorts Network and GRN Teambuilder is that the answers to all the detours and roadblocks are pointed out. An explanation to what goes wrong with other home based businesses. The tools are there and success is not only possible, it's probable. Don't you just hate when home based business opportunities take your money and disappear? Or worse yet, just hand you a list of leads you had to pay for and a prewritten script? Sometimes you even forget what you're selling, it's so deeply buried under the guise of making millions and living like the Donald.

I've searched the internet for something that made sense to me. I found Global Resorts Network and GRN Teambuilder ... a marriage that efficiently and effectively put together everything I know to be sound marketing prceedures ... and they've done it with a flair; something truly extraordinary in a world where everyone wants to find the easy way and keeps ending up with a few tires in the ditch.

I'm Debbie Riley-Magnus and I'm thrilled to know I can brush off the road grime and really find my way.

2008 Online Marketing Predictions - Going Social, Mobile and Global!

Say goodbye to the Year of the Pig (2007) and hello to the Year of the Rat (2008). That's Chinese for welcoming in the New Year with their own set of predictions. For example, Rat people work hard to achieve their goals, acquire possessions, and are likely to be perfectionists. Their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful.

History is littered with predictions. If you make enough of the, some are bound to be true! The web is its own "animal" and goes by its own set of rules. However that does not stop me from offering my online marketing predictions for 2008. This year could very well be the Year of the Subscriptions, Mobile and Social Networking.

First, I want to wish you all the web success for an exciting, healthy and profitable 2008. And now for my Top Ten:

1. Subscriptions will be the currency for social networks. The fees will be modest, but they will continue to replace more conventional advertising streams. For example, Skype and Twitter will add subscription charges for enhanced features like groups and they will compete for top social network status as the useless applications, intrusive advertising and annoying emails from Facebook continue to turn off users.

2. Social networks will be the key driver of brand success as consumers increasingly trust each other's opinions and distrust advertising and corporate propaganda.

3. Mobile will be the "fast food" of the year. You are on the move and are hungry for instant access to information. iPhones and similar devices that deliver true mobile Internet access will replace laptops that everyone hates to carry.

4. Companies including YouTube, blip.tv and Seesmic will expand and cooperate to include group collaboration and meetings.

5. 2008 will be the year of collaboration and intellectual partnership, internally and externally. Companies will start forming synergistic groups that work toward improving or bundling products and services that will result in saving time, money, work effort and brand reputation.

6. Special lighting for web cam broadcasts on Seesmic will be the hot new products as video increases in importance. People can now look like people and not like their driver's licenses or passport photos.

7. The Internet will play a growing role in the 2008 election with people trusting plebeian's opinions more so than packaged candidate ads.

8. Privacy will be a key issue of the year.

9. Google stock will hit $1000 a share and split. Search is growing and people are hooked on more.

10. Predict one through nine for next year - that's why they are called predictions. However, it's a sure bet some of these will come true in 2008.

Why Do You Want to Link With A Home Business And Affiliate Website?

No, its not a general question for all and sundry. Obviously, there are many who would want to link to a Home Business or Affiliate program related website and for good reason. They would be helping their Page Rank, if thats important any more however, more to the point, they would be improving their chances of a better ranking in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). But yes, you guessed it, THERE IS A PROVISO. A very important one, that so many people engaged in reciprocal linking programs just dont seem to be able to get their heads around

I must confess, I have written about this same subject, just on twelve months ago, I think it was. My experience during the time since would suggest that I may as well have been writing fairy stories, for all the good it did.

I get, and this is no exaggeration, at least a dozen requests EVERY day from people wishing to link with my (currently seven) Home Business or Affiliate related sites, who have websites that have absolutely NOTHING in common in any way with either topic, or in the case of Affiliate content websites I have, nothing to do with the subject matter or product/s concerned. The majority of these requests, for some reason, seem to come from poker/casino/gambling websites and those concerning travel/holidays.

Why is it that the people requesting these links dont understand that they are, in fact, irreparably damaging their websites and possibly harming their chances of a decent showing in the SERPs? (Not that all those with these types of websites practice this type of free for all linking). Why cant they understand that Google, the devisors of the PR and the Search Engine with whom most are concentrating on scoring a good ranking, quite clearly explain that links from RELEVANT websites are the only kind of link that is likely to improve your SE rankings. They also go on to say that using any kind of mass linking program or free for all method of linking is more likely to damage your rankings".

While its true that your PR will probably increase with the amount of raw links to your website, those links that are from websites of non-relevant topics will NOT serve to improve your ranking in the SERPs. Where the PR is calculated simply from the number of links, the algorithm used to come up with the SERPs definitely includes more complex data including an analysis of the content of the websites from which incoming links come, not just the text of the link.

The only advantage I know of, that PR alone will give you is a better chance of obtaining reciprocal links from other websites. Certainly, a far better way to obtain links is to publish good quality articles about the topic of your website, which of course will be picked up, by and large, by websites looking for good content of the same subject matter. This will also serve to give you one way incoming links, which although Google dont appear to mention in their pages, are widely understood to be of more value than reciprocal links.

Apart from the reasons Ive mentioned above, there is also the amount of work involved in trying to do the right thing by answering these pointless requests for links. I must say, its very annoying given the time involved, which could be better spent by all parties doing more constructive things.

I have often lamented the irreparable damage that mass linking programs have done to many websites. After all, there is virtually no chance of getting the links that are in place from non-relevant websites removed. It would be a mammoth task. The types of link building program that collect links from anyone willing to complete the form on your website and place your link on theirs, have turned a number of websites into mini directories, which certainly wont help their rankings in the SERPs.

My advice to anyone, either new or an old hand is to join one of the reciprocal linking co-operatives like Linkmarket.net, in which you are able to approve links from sites of YOUR choosing and request links from sites with the same content and subject matter. After all, links of the same content as your website are the most likely to interest your visitors and THAT is the primary basis of linking, to offer worthwhile information and assistance to your patrons. Incidentally, thats what Google and the other SEs are primarily concerned with, sites that are of value to THEIR patrons and they will only offer you as a choice if they feel you have the same goal in mind.

Ive been told that when I do anything designed to improve my rankings, to ask myself a simple question, would I do this if there were no Search Engines? If the answer is no, then it probably wont benefit my visitors and will be a waste of time as far as my SE rankings are concerned.
