When people are having trouble writing articles it’s because of two main problems. They do not know enough about the product/niche that they need to write about. They are stuck with the belief that they have to be promoting the product. If these two problems apply to you, you are most certainly stuck, and can’t write a single article without struggling a great deal. So, how do you fix these two issues and transform them into two great open doors that will allow you to come up with infinite i

Lots of people in the internet marketing business will tell you that the video is becoming powerful.  There is no doubt.  However, what is still heavily dominating the internet for still a long long time to come is written content. Don't be mistaken, written content is still VERY powerful. You can still grab an ebook under your arm, but you might not be able to watch a video anywhere, unless you have a lap top with you.  Article directories and blogs are more than ever content ang

I receive lots of questions on a daily basis regarding article writing or article marketing. I have noticed that one question has come back several times recently, so I thought I would answer it on this blog for every one to see. Should I link my article to my own site or to the sales page? When you are starting you IM business you need to understand that whatever you are building and creating should serve YOU first of all. Every time that you are writing an article and linking it to a site, you

I was reading an email from EzineArticles today, and they were making a good point that I wanted to talk about here. Why is it important that you put you the full URL of your website besides your anchor text in your resource box? They were mentioning that when your article is being picked up by ezine or publishers your anchored text has a good change to get "unlinked" in the process. If you have your complete URL as a back up, however, the link to your site will still be there. This is

I have just published (here on WA) the last part - Part 4 - of Essential Technique of Article Marketing Campaign.  I really enjoyed writing it and sharing what I know to be working from my own experience in article writing and marketing. I wrote my first article online on August 2006, and until that time I had no clue about what writing online really meant.  This actually served me in a way that I would have never believe it would.  It helped me into writing articles for the fun o

When you have a physical business or store, the livelihood of your business depends on the amount of customers that you have. It is the exact same thing for your internet business.  You need customers.  This is why you are writing articles. When you write an article on a specific topic, people who are interested in that specific topic (niche) will find  your article and read it to see if they can learn more about on the subject and get what they are looking for. This is why short

I read recently an advice from an internet marketer (not at WA) who says that: "the ideal articles for EzineArticles are 205-280 words, and that an article above 300 words is too long for people to keep reading as they lose interest". Even tough I don't doubt that he is successful with his internet marketing business, I totally disagree with everything in this statement. When he says "ideal for EzineArtices"; it's far from ideal for them, it might just be ideal for him becau

There are three main reasons why an article marketing campaign would fail.  By avoiding these reasons you can produce a great article campaign that will grow to incredible successful results. Reason #1- Lack of ideas to write about An article campaign is of course all about the number of articles that you are going to submit over time.  If you don't know what to write about, it will be very though for you to be able to submit articles weeks in and weeks out. The best and easiest way

EzineArticles, most favorite article directory of many has finally had enough of what they call spin-written and regurgitated articles. I have to say that I have had the priviledge to hang out with the best article writers/marketers out there for a while, and we knew that this was bound to happen. If you have been told to write short articles no more than 250 words to make sure that the link in your resource box is falling above the fold, you were not given a good advice as far as article market
