How to Build Your Own List with Articles

A lot of newbies in the internet marketing arena don’t know that you can simply write articles to start building

your lists. All you have to do is write an article about your business or something you have expertise in and submit it to some of the top article directories. If you don’t know what article directories are, just google it and a ton of them will pop up. A lot of them allow you to submit articles for free. One of the major ones used by marketers is Ezine.com and if done right, you can drive massive traffic to your website from Ezine.  A lot of eZine publishers and their readers are always searching for some good information to republish and provide to their subscribers and readers.

Writing articles can be a great way to leverage your viral marketing efforts and it can prove to be very rewarding. Your articles show how much expertise you have in certain areas and proves your worth to those that are looking for information you may know about. So you may now be wondering, how can this help build my list? Well the answer is rather simple. The resource box that you are going to attach to all of your articles will contain very brief details about you and your business along with your URL.

Be sure that the URL you place in your resource box links back to your capture page that is connected to your mailing list autoresponder. So once your visitor enters their email address and name, it will go directly into your list. A lot of the time eZine publishers will republish your articles if they are valuable. When they republish your article, your resource box with your URL is also shared amongst their subscribers and their readers. This is all a part of viral marketing!

Now you can get started writing article and submit them to some of the trusted article submitter sites. Don’t wait, go ahead and start on your journey to article marketing and start building your list. It will all be worth it in the end!

Is Your Facebook Page Screwed?

The whole point of creating a Facebook Page for your
business is to build a fan base of people interested in
your product or service, right?

Facebook Pages are a great tool for interacting with
your fans on a regular basis and for them to discover
whether or not your product or service is right for them.

But to build a HUGE fan base you need people clicking
the all mighty "LIKE" button. Yep, the tiny little button
sitting at the top of your page. :-)

Gone are the days of "Become a fan." Today, it's all
about the "LIKES" and YOU WANT THEM (a lot of them!)

Because without them... you have ZERO reach. If you
have zero reach, you make ZERO dollars.

And this is where most Page Admins fall flat on their
face.

Let me explain...

Have you ever visited a Facebook Page for a business,
only to land on their "Wall" where you see the comments
and status updates?

If so, did it make you want to "LIKE" the page?

Probably not.

Allowing your visitors to land on your "Wall" is the #1 mistake
Page Admins are making all across Facebook.

But it doesn't have to be this way...

Because as a Page Admin, you have the ability to create
a custom landing page AND set this page as your "Default
Landing Tab" for your Page.

You'll first need to install an iFrame application into your
page (which is beyond the scope of this post unfortunately.)
This will allow you to create a custom tab on your Page.

Once you have your custom tab, you will want to create
some type of "offer" along with a "call to action" to entice
people to "LIKE" your page.

An example offer would be something like this:

"Click Like Above To Get Access To _______"

It's proven that you will get more "Likes" just by making
this one small change to your Facebook Page.

Good luck!

around good guy. To find out how he got 52.94% more

SafeLists – What Is The Weakness?

Safelists are setup for marketers to send emails to people they do not know in hopes of building an email list. The people that are being sent these emails already know to expect them because they have joined the safelist. But wait. How in the world can this be?

Well, they have agreed to this when accepting the membership to the safelist. All of the people on these safelists are well aware that they will be receiving tons of emails from other people that are members as well. At the same token, the people that join them agree to this because they want to send out their emails to others on the safe list.

So how is this considered to be a bad idea? Why is this perceived as a weakness?

It’s a weakness because everyone on the safe list is sending emails to one another and none of them are even being read. Forbid you join as a free member and rarely ever even log into your account. Then you are harboring an account that is full of emails that will probably never even get opened, let along read. So the best option is to start you own email list. You can do this by creating your own capture or squeeze page or purchase a marketing system that has capture pages created for you already. A lot of the systems you purchase have capture pages created already that you are able to edit with your own info. Once you have a capture or squeeze page, you build your list with opt-in subscribers. Those are the people that will enter their email addresses into your page and be added to your list. Safe lists can be very tempting, but don’t fall for it and waste time if you don’t have some proof from other marketers that it really WORKS!

Much Success,

5 Step Guide to Syndicating Articles for the Newbie Marketers

You just started a new online business and have no clue how to get the needed traffic to your website. You have to find a way to get the word out about your new website. So what do you do? Well, you begin to write articles that are geared towards the marketing niche. That’s all fine and dandy. What next? You need to syndicate the articles next. There are tons of ways to syndicate articles. But with you being a newbie to this, here are some basic steps that you can follow to get going.

#1

First you want to be sure you write some unique, good content. There are millions of people on the internet and you need to be able to grab your target audiences’ attention. You will do this by supplying what they are searching for online. So if you are selling lead generation software, you want to target internet marketers or anyone looking to generate leads. Your articles need to hit along those lines.

#2

Secondly, you want to make your articles short and to the point. They can consist of anywhere from 500 to 2000 words. This will sometimes depend on what site you are submitting your articles to. You want to become an established expert in the field or niche of interest. Once you are an expert, you will soon be able to find interested buyers.

You never want to promote your product or service directly in your article. Some sites will ban you for that if you do it. You only want to promote your website in the resource box or the author’s bio section depending on what site you submit to. This allows interested readers to visit your website should they want to know more about what you are offering.

#3

The third thing you want to do is decide which article submission site you want to submit your articles to. Do a search online to see which sites are the most popular. Usually the ones that have a higher rank will get you more traffic. So once you have found the sites you want to use, go there and create an account and start submitting articles.

#4

The fourth thing to do is get your articles in mediums offline like magazine and newspapers to syndicate them offline. This allows you the opportunity to take advantage of a larger target market as well.

#5

The last thing you want to do involves RSS (Really Simple Syndication). This distributes your articles online automatically and allows you to reach an even broader target audience while gaining tons of important backlinks to your new website.

Syndicating your articles looks to be the easiest way to drive traffic. You just need to decide how you will go about the process. Your business will get noticed by a lot more people if you promote it through article syndication. So now that you have the top five ways to syndicate your articles; get to work and start writing some helpful articles that will put you on the path to achieving your goals.

Succeed and Remain Focused with Your Internet Marketing Strategies

One of the most stressful things that one can endure is working from home. There are several distractions around you daily. If you don’t come up with an effective plan, you will not succeed. It’s very easy to become sidetracked when working online. There is only one word that can describe the difference between the successful people and the ones that are not successful. That word would be ACTION. If you don’t take action, you will never reach the top.

Automation

In internet marketing, automation is key. You want to automate as much as you possibly can even if it means outsourcing some things. Some ways to automate your online business consist of using autoresponders and signatures in your emails. Write down your daily goals and put the highest priority at the top.

Target Audience/Target Goal

Identify your target audience and target goal you want to achieve daily. If you invent and inspire daily, you will start to see results. This simply means to take notes on new and different ways to promote your business or ideas for new blog posts, articles, or press releases. If you make it your goal to get at least 1 to 2 new articles written and submitted each week, you will remain motivated to keep doing it until you get the desired results.

Check Emails Periodically

Check your emails and reply to them at specified times throughout the day. You don’t want just this task to overwhelm you and take up too much time. Again, you want to automate as much as you possibly can.

Network with Other Marketers

Collaborate with other webmasters and other marketers online to learn more. There is great benefit in connecting with and working with people that have the same mindset as yourself.

If you stick to these things, you will be able to promote your business to more people and in turn see an increase in your earnings. Getting in front of the right people is an important element of your online business and key to your success.

Developing a Motivated Mindset

There will come that time when every one of us seems to find ourselves stuck in a rut that is filled with lack of interest and boredom. It feels as though you have lost your enthusiasm and you are always feeling irritable and tired. You have no motivation and can’t seem to muster up any. You may just want to stay in bed hidden under the covers and not face the day ahead of you. There can be several things causing you to feel this way. You may be simply overwhelmed with work needing to be done for your business or flat out tired of your day to day life routine. Whatever it is that has you feeling this way, you need to find a way to get out of this funk.

At some point in time, all of us will encounter this. You are not the only one that may sometimes feel this way. But there is something that can be done to fix this. You want to have that motivation and desire to fulfill whatever it is that needs to be done. That may consist of work that needs to be done for your business, cleaning the house, or simply getting out the house to run errands. You need to break free of this rut you are stuck in and gain excitement for life once again. These tips will help you to achieve just that:

o   Just take a “Break” or “Time Out” – If you are under a lot of stress that has been lingering for quite some time, it will eventually wear you down. So you just need some time to just breathe. You want to clear your mind of any worries that may be stressing you out. This will take some practice but you just want to be sure to not give up. Whenever thoughts start to run into your mind, do whatever it takes to push them out to keep your mind as calm and empty as you possibly can. You want to just let all of your muscles RELAX. Do this by simply taking slow and deep breaths while sitting quietly. If possible, do this twice a day and you will start to see a difference in your mindset. Whether you know it or not, you need just as much quiet time as you need any of the other things in life. The gift of inner peace can take you to new heights.

o   Acquire Inspiration – Read uplifting and motivational things daily. This can be a book, article, or quote. Or you can even listen to inspirational music or motivational speakers that have audios available. Find photos of nature that are breathtaking and look at them. You want to intentionally push your thoughts into a place that is only positive. You will always feel uninspired if you constantly only focus on work and other tasks. Look for things that will lift you up in spirit and make you laugh. Go out and find your inspiration instead of sitting home waiting on it to come find you.

o   Acquire Excitement – What do you have planned for today? Is it something you used to be excited about? If so, revive what use to make you feel enthused about whatever you have planned. How did you feel when you started a new job or new business venture? You were all excited and eager to get going, right? Well that eventually dies down with time and it can die due to several reasons. Just sit back and think what made you get excited before and reawaken that feeling. Just think of all the positive benefits that will come from doing tasks that you aren’t excited about. This should set some fire to you to get you going.

o   Take Baby Steps – We all know that getting started is usually the hardest part. The things you need to do make you cringe when you think of doing them. You are thinking that those things will consume all of your energy and time. Don’t overwhelm yourself with these thoughts. Start out small, maybe set a timer and get to work. Stop every 15 to 30 minutes if you need to. Once you get going, you will not want to stop. Breaking down large tasks into smaller ones will help you manage them better.

o   Take Care of Your Body – Physical deficiencies are usually the cause of fatigue. Get enough sleep, eat healthy, drink a lot of water and get some exercise in daily. We don’t always make the best choice on foods we consume when we are very busy. Stop for a second and think about what you are eating before you eat it. Take care of your body as you would your car. You may not realize it, but your body is considered your vehicle for the mind and soul.

In conclusion, always reward yourself for what you achieved that day. There’s always going to be things that “need” to get done. Stop taking on more than you can handle. Get rid of things that are not bringing you the joy you desire. If you can’t get rid of them completely, cut back on time you may spend doing those things. Either get help or just do what you can and forget about the rest. Never feel that you must do everything all by yourself.

We choose motivation and happiness in our lives. We all may need a little push every now and then, but it is very easy to stay in the right mindset once we reach it!

Viral Success Network Can't Help Me....

I've been in internet marketing for almost a year now and I was clueless as to where to start when I first got into this industry. I was so confused when I asked questions and people started throwing words at me like, autoresponder, capture pages, mailing list, etc. I've never been one to run to my sponsor and boggle them with a million questions and I'm definitely not a quitter. So I began to do research on my own to find out what these things were. I spent hours every day online researching and starting to slowly get these things that are NEEDED to gain success in internet marketing. Well once I got my capture pages setup, I started to advertise to drive traffic to them. Yea, traffic was coming but it was coming slow and I'm thinking to myself, "I will never build the type of mailing list I need at this rate." So months went by and I saw a friend promoting Viral Success Network on her Facebook page. I'm now thinking, "Hey, if it's working for her, it will work for me." So I signed up under her affiliate link to get this system so that I too could grow my mailing list FAST. Well back then, I was a newbie still and still didn't have all the information I needed on how to properly advertise to drive targeted traffic to my Viral Success Network capture page. I eventually gave up on it and left it alone.

So What Did I Do Next?

Well here it is almost a year later and I'm giving Viral Success Network another chance and this time I'm loaded with the information I need to succeed. Nothing is going to stop me now. This system really does work. I have to say that after months of struggling to build my list, I am finally where I need to be. This system basically puts my list building on autopilot. Leads are pouring in because I'm doing advertising to drive traffic there and the capture pages are pulling the leads in.

These capture pages are fully customizable, which simply means that you can have them to say whatever you want and even put your own videos on them. You can promote ANY business you are in with these capture pages as well. Viral Success Network does have co-ops for you to join and they drive traffic to your pages for you. The two guys behind this system, Desmond Akil Smith and Jermaine Steele are monsters when it comes to lead generation, so you are in great hands with Viral Success Network. Trust me, these guys definitely know what they are doing and you will have tons of success with this system!

So whether you are a newbie marketer just getting started in this industry or a vet at this, this system WILL work for you and help you to grow your business. It's basically everything you need packaged into one system. There are built in autoresponders if you are new and don't have your own third-party autoresponder. If you are new and have no experience, I recommend not changing anything on the customizable capture pages and just work with them as they are. I know that some of the vets have tons of experience with what works for them so they can most likely tweak the wording to pull the traffic they are targeting.

What Can I Promote With Viral Success Network Capture Pages?

You can pretty much promote any business you are currently in with these capture pages. I've personally test it with the following businesses and gotten great results:

-Empower Network
-Motor Club of America
-Zip Nada Zilch
-Instant Money Network
