Stamp Out the Writer’s Block When It Comes to Subjects

If you run an online business, you have so many things to think about. You must seize contol of the always growing list of tasks.

There is a connection between the ideas that you can come up with for the articles in your syndication efforts and the effectiveness of your article marketing. Anything that you can do to improve in this area will increase the overall well-being of your company. After all, your job is to look for efficiencies anywhere you can find them.

To help you along that path, here are places to set aside any writers block–or “topic block.”

- Your business undoubtedly receives calls and emails from customers. Most of the questions that you receive have the potential to become topics for articles for syndication.

- Watch for news stories in magazines, TV, Internet or newspapers that are directly or indirectly related to your niche. If the news organization thought there was a story in that, chance are there is also an article that you can write about it.

- Look for questions pertaining to your niche that are asked in online forums. If someone cares enough to ask a question on a forum, chances are that others are asking the same or a similar question. Consequently, it is a good article topic.

- Visit some of the top article directories, such as EzineArticles. Again, search keywords. Read some of the articles authored by others. Is there a way you can put your own unique spin on that topic?

- Take a fresh look at articles that are on your own website. Can those topics be repurposed with more of an informational and less of a marketing perspective?

Coming up with topic ideas tends to have a cascading effect. When you come up with one, that seems to bring up other, related subjects. Write all of them down. In other words, generate a big enough list that your brainstorming efforts result in enough topics to last you a while.

A Good Article Is Worth Far More Than a Cup of Gourmet Coffee

I’m in my fourth year of Internet marketing, and I remain awestruck by the significant role that content plays in the eventual success of any online venture. If any adage dealing with this relatively new field is accurate, it is this: Content is King!

There are plenty of online sources of information addressing the important necessary talents of writers of web content. Those skills are not easily developed, nor can they be cheaply found.

I happened to stumble across a free lance marketplace last evening. I don’t even remember how my browser ended up there. I was intrigued, though, so I started to look around the website at some of the projects that businesses had posted. I was appalled. (I won’t tell you the site, but I will say that it is not one of the two or three such venues that are most frequently mentioned.)

One company posted a request for 300 keyword optimized articles of 500 words each. Their budget for the project was $150. I’m not math major, but I didn’t have to use my calculator to figure out that the per article payment would have been fifty cents an article. I thought that it had to be a misprint until I found another request for someone to handle a SEO link building efforts. They wanted 1100 one way, quality links from pages with page rank for the princely sum of $300. The proposal said that they had hired others for this job previously, but they had been unsuccessful in making any progress. What a surprise!

I suppose we all have to make our own mistakes. I ordered ten articles when I was new to this business. They were all to be written to my key phrase specifications. The price for this package: $70, a mere seven dollars an article. I felt as if I was getting a great deal, and I did wonder how they could do that much work for so little money. I found out when the articles were returned, on time as promised. Except for the key phrases, the articles were virtually identical. They weren’t similar enough to have been the results of spinning, but it was clear that the writer had not taken any time to research. I wasted a couple hours trying to rewrite them, correct the many errors and salvage something from my investment. I finally just gave up and deleted them all.

Because of the essential nature of having quality content for our own sites and for use in our syndication efforts for traffic and search engine optimization purposes, we must be very efficient in our article marketing efforts. Few things impact our reputation more than the content we put out there with links leading back to our websites.

I only had to learn once from my $70 mistake. While I am careful with all of my expenses, I do not try to skimp on content. If you pay the price for junk, you will receive junk in return.

A well known Internet marketer whom I know owns a number of online stores. He told me that he started out paying ten dollars per article, soon moved to twenty and now pays his free lance writers, with whom he has a continuing relationship, fifty dollars for a 500 word article. He says it is the best money he spends.

I hope that some of you will learn from the errors in this regard that my acquaintance and I made. However, I’d be willing to bet that you’ll have to learn the hard way just like the rest of us.

Handling the Pages Linked From Your Article Marketing Content

In a recent article I wrote about the conflict we face in trying to meet two objectives in content marketing.  In a nutshell, the problem is that we frequently want to use links in our articles to our “money pages” for the purposes of optimizing for search engines, but the readers are not yet at the purchasing stage in terms of their frame of mind as they are busy gathering information (the reason they found our syndicated article)..  In that article, I coupled that complexity with another related issue:  With good website design, each page should have a single purpose.  That purpose is to satisfy our visitor’s desire. a prospect to our money page until they already want to go there–in other words, they’re ready to buy.]

I did not offer a solution in that original article.  Simply bringing the problem to the attention of article marketers was my goal in that previous piece.  Today, I’ll go that one additional step and give one answer to the quandary.

There are actually at least two solutions to the dilemma.  The first option is to ignore the rule of website design for marketing purposes and have our landing pages attempt to offer two different objectives allowing our readers to satisfy their information seeking and provinding an opportunity to buy the product or service from the same page.  Another solution to our dilemma is to include two different kinds of links from our distributed articles.  One link option or type will take the clicker to a landing page dedicated entirely to providing valuable information and an opt-in form encouraging the visitor to get even more information by signing up for our list; the other type of link leads to our “money page,” primarily for the purpose of search engine optimization.  In these cases, our anchor text must make clear what to expect on the landing page.

When presented with these two options, I recommend the second.  Allow me to elaborate on why I endorse this approach and what the respective landing page for each type of link will contain.

Recall that the readers of our syndicated article want to gather information.  If we want to entice them to click a link to actually come to our site, we must promise even more information that is pertient to them.  I trust that I don’t have to tell you that we always must deliver what we promise our prospects.  Thus, our article marketing content must be interesting, accurate and informative, but it must leave the impression that we still have more to tell them.  We must subtly persuade them that our site will provide all the remaining necessary information, and we make sure that link delivers them to a content page.

We also want to move them along that decision making continuum by implying that there is a product or service that will provide the ultimate solution to their current problem.  By including that information, we have an opportunity to link to one of our selling pages largely for the purpose of search engine optimization.

It is always easier to logically include both types of links within our articles if we syndicate directly to websites that are within our general niche category; in those cases we can make our links contextual within the article, itself.  However, if we limit our article distribution to article directories, we can still accomplish our task by cleverly using a well written resource box to provide the rationale for linking to both kinds of pages.

On our content landing page, we focus upon bringing our readers much closer to the buying decision end of the decision making continuum.  Remember that the visitors have already been persuaded to accept our initial offer by clicking on our link, so they are in an agreeable frame of mind.  We can now treat them as serious prospects and ramp up our selling strategy a bit.  We shall offer them a link to the page where they can actually buy, but we focus primarily on getting them to take one more small step by asking for the contact information in exchange for the promise of even more valuable content. 

We establish ourselves as experts in our distributed content, so we are “selling” that expertise to our readers.  On the linked page, we’re selling our credibility and integrity.  After they have signed onto our mailing list, we can actually begin selling our product by building our relationship with our new prospects and then more blatantly recommending our product or service.

The second type of link from our article marketing content leads directly to a product page.  The primary purpose of that link is increasing our SEO, so we must be especially careful to research and have anchor text that is a long tail keyword with implicit commercial intent.

As marketers, all of our efforts are toward increasing revenue through a sale.  As writers we must make the sale without disrupting the prose of our content.  So our first objective is to convince the article readers that they need more information, and that the necessary information can be found by clicking our link.  Second we sell the search engine spiders on the accuracy of our description of our selling page by making sure that the anchor text and the page match in meaningful ways.

Relationship Between Distributed Articles and Linked Pages

I recently wrote about the difficulty we face in attempting resolve a contradiction in content syndication.  In a nutshell, the problem is that we often want to use links in our articles to our “money pages” for the purposes of optimizing for search engines, but the readers are not yet at the buying stage in terms of their mindset as they are busy gathering information (the reason they found our syndicated article)..  In that article, I combined that conflict with another related issue:  With good website design, each page should have a single purpose.  That purpose is to satisfy our visitor’s desire. a prospect to our money page until they already want to go there–in other words, they’re ready to buy.]

I did not offer a solution in that original article.  My purpose was to bring the inherent conflict to the attention of article marketers.  With this article, I’ll try to bring some resolution to the dilemma.

There are actually at least two solutions to the dilemma.  The first option is to ignore the rule of website design for marketing purposes and have our landing pages attempt to offer two different objectives (both learning more and buying) for our readers who click through.  Another solution to our dilemma is to include two different kinds of links from our distributed articles.  One of those link types leads to a landing page dedicated entirely to providing valuable information and an opt-in form encouraging the visitor to get even more information by signing up for our list; the other type of link leads to our “money page,” primarily for the purpose of search engine optimization.  Of course we must make clear from the context of the link what the landing page will offer.

When presented with these two options, I recommend the second.  Allow me to elaborate on why I endorse this approach and what the respective landing page for each type of link will contain.

Remember that our distributed article attracted the readers because those readers intended to gather useful information.  The only likely way we are going to attract those readers to our site is to offer them even more information than our article provides.  Of course, we always follow through with our promises or we shall immediately lose credibility.  Thus, our article marketing content must be interesting, accurate and informative, but it must leave the impression that we still have more to tell them.  Hence we link to a content page.

We also want to move them along that decision making continuum by implying that there is a product or service that will provide the ultimate solution to their current problem.  By including that information, we have an opportunity to link to one of our selling pages largely for the purpose of search engine optimization.

It is easiest to achieve the task of incorporating these two types of links within articles that we syndicate directly to other sites within our niche, because we can place those links contextually.  However, if we limit our article distribution to article directories, we can still accomplish our task by cleverly using a well written resource box to provide the rationale for linking to both kinds of pages.

On our content landing page, we focus upon bringing our readers much closer to the buying decision end of the decision making continuum.  Remember that the visitors have already been persuaded to accept our initial offer by clicking on our link, so they are in an agreeable frame of mind.  They are no long “just readers,” they have become serious prospects.  Consequently, we make our link to the actual buying page very prominent on this content page, but we focus primarily on getting them to take one more small step by asking for the contact information in exchange for the promise of even more valuable content. 

In our syndicated article we use our content to sell our expertise.  What we sell on our linked (landing) page is our integrety, by establish our credibility.  Once we have their contact information we can begin selling our product, subtly at first and then with increasing urgency.

Remember that the other type of link takes the clicker (or the search engine robot) to our page where we directly sell our product or service.  Since the purpose of that link is primarily search engine optimization, it is especially important that our anchor (linking) text is at once an accurate description of the selling page and a useful long tail keyword with implicit commercial intent.

As marketers, all of our efforts are toward making the sale.  As writers we must make the sale without disturbing the flow of our content.  So our first objective is to convince the article readers that they need more information, and that the necessary information can be found by clicking our link.  Second we sell the search engine robots on the accuracy of our description of our selling page by making sure that the anchor text and the page’s content match in meaningful ways.

How To Plan And Manage An Articles Website

Article websites have become a lucrative business in the last several years. Article websites publish articles from subscribers who hope to increase their own website traffic by providing links in the articles back to their websites. The administrator of the website simply provides a publishing platform.

The Idea Behind An Article Websit

Individual website owners need a way to bring traffic to their website. Keyword rich SEO articles, published on articles websites provide the subscriber with the opportunity to drive traffic to his site. Most article websites provide a bio box at the end of! each article that contains a link to the subscribers website. Article readers who want additional information can use the link to reach the subscriber.

For an article website to be successful, it needs a constant stream of informative and interesting new articles. On most article websites, the subscribers do not pay a fee and provide all of the content. Subscribers chose the topics of th! e articles, but it is up to the administrator to establish guidelines and make sure that the articles follow the guidelines.

How To Generate Revenue

You could run such a website. It is an in-thing nowadays. There are various such article directories on the Internet. You could check them out and probably even become an author on some of them and contribute your work so that you understand the manner in which they work.

It is vital to establish guidelines that require subscribers to provide informative articles. Good articles that are keyword rich and search engine optimized will drive traffic to the article website. Articles which are poorly written or contain no substantive information will not enhance an article website.

Optimizing website traffic is the most important job of the administrator. Advertisers are drawn to sites with the greatest amount of traffic. It is essential that the quality of the articles be high to attract and retain readers. Traffic, whether from new visitors or repeat visitors, will bring in advertisers.

You may have to hire proofreaders to review the content for you. The more popular your site becomes, the more advertising revenue your site will generate. No one will pay for advertising on a site that never gets traffic. People surfing and searching the web want accurate and instant information. If you give the public what they want they will return to your site again and again. Traffic, whether new or repeat, is money in your pocket.
