    Day 3 - Writing the List Article

    This is day 3 of the Article Writing Course:

    The list article is the easiest type of article to write.
    It is a list of related things.

    For example:

    Top 7 Article Writing Tips for Affiliates
    Top 10 Tips for Getting More Business Now
    Top 7 Ways to Start a Business

    If you use the 8 Minute Article Writing software, each of
    the steps is clearly laid out for you. You have the ability
    to "jump around" in the software, add your tips, and then
    write your explanations.

    Before writing your list article, write your title. You
    need to know how many tips you will need.

    We will use the "Top 7 Article Writing Tips for Affiliates"
    to write an article.

    Your first step is to create a list of tips. All of your
    tips must be related to your topic. In this case, we are
    writing an article about article writing as it relates
    specifically to writing articles for affiliates.

    For example:

    1. Choose a product.
    2. Create a title.
    3. Write your list of tips.
    4. Write an explanation of each tip.
    5. Write the beginning, conclusion, and summary for your
    article.
    6. Create a resource box.
    7. Submit your article.

    Now that we have a list of tips, we want to write one or
    two paragraphs to further explain each tip.

    ***********************

    For example:

    1. Choose a product.
    As an affiliate marketer, you have a large amount of
    products to choose from to sell. To choose the right
    product to promote, you want to select a product that
    solves your potential customers' problems.

    You also want to consider the amount of commission you will
    make, whether or not the product fits your topic, and how
    you will promote the product.

    ***********************

    Next, go through each of the tips and write one to two
    paragraphs to explain each tip. Keep your words, sentences,
    and paragraphs short. Remember, your article only needs to
    be 400 - 700 words. Keeping your article short and
    answering your readers' questions will get them to click
    through to your site.

    Don't forget to use your keyword phrase you have chosen
    throughout the article. Three to five times is enough. This
    will help you further optimize your article for the search
    engines.

    In the next lesson, we will finish writing the article.
    Lesson five covers Beginnings, Conclusions, and Summaries.

    Guide to Article Marketing
    . This guide will help you get
    the most from your article submission because you'll write
    articles the article directories want and readers will
    love.

    Day 2 - Crafting an Irresistible Title for Your Article

    This is day 2 of the Article Writing Course:

    How you craft the title of your article is up to you. You
    can create a swipe file of good titles you have found and
    model your title after these titles.

    Don't copy these titles. If you do, you will have a hard
    time finding your article in the search engines. You want
    to make your article title as original as possible.

    There are four types of titles we will examine here. You
    can use these title ideas to help you write your own title.
    Remember, the purpose of a good title is to get your reader
    to read your article and click through to your site.

    1. The Question

    The purpose of the question title is to engage your
    readers. You want them to get involved in the topic of your
    article. With all good article titles, you want to present
    the problem and then the solution. You will elaborate these
    points in the body of your article.

    An example would be:

    Are You Losing Your Hair? Avoid These Three Things

    2. The Statement

    In the statement title, you make a statement of fact. Use a
    statistic. Be specific.

    For example:

    27% of Men Are Losing Their Hair...What to Do to Keep Your
    Hair Without Losing Your Mind

    3. The List

    The list is a list of related items. It's very similar to
    the How-To because you use a list of tips.

    For example:

    Top 7 Small Business Start Up Tips

    4. The How-To

    With the how-to, you are telling others how to do
    something. It's like a recipe. You are teaching them how to
    do one thing.

    For example:

    How to Double Your Investments in 30 Days

    When writing your titles, include your keywords. This will
    help you with search engine optimization. Keywords are an
    easy way to optimize your articles for the search engines.
    Don't overdo it.

    Keep a swipe file of your title ideas. With a swipe file,
    it's easier to avoid writer's block. Write down all of your
    title ideas and review them when you want to write a new
    article. It will make it easier for you to get started
    writing your article and stay on track.

    If you haven't downloaded the 8 Minute Article Writer
    software, do so now. This software will make it much easier
    for you to write your article. Download it here.

    We also recommend you browse Article Marketer University
    for additional help, including Maria Marsala's audio, "The
    8 Minute Article."


    You may also want to listen to Ewen Chia's Affiliate
    Article Mastery
    for more tips on making the most of your
    articles.

    In the next lesson, we will examine the easiest type of
    article to write.

    Day 1 - Choosing Your Topic

    Here's where the Article Writing Course begins:

    Whether you are new to affiliate business or you have been
    around for a while, you probably already know what topics
    you will use to choose the products you sell. These same
    topics can be used to write your articles.

    We covered keyword research in the main affiliate marketing
    course. For those who haven't read that course yet, we will
    briefly touch on keyword research here.

    First, you need to choose about three general topics in
    which you are interested. If you choose more than three
    topics, you may want to consider writing under different
    pen names. You are less likely to be taken seriously by
    readers if are considered a know-it-all on too many topics.

    Since you are selling affiliate products, you have a wide
    range of choices for products as well as for topics.

    If you aren't sure what you want to sell, there are plenty
    of resources to help you find topics and products to write
    about. Here are three:

    1. Lycos Top 50 - The Lycos Top 50 will tell you what is
    getting the most buzz each week.
    2. eBay Pulse - Offers a list of the hottest selling
    products on eBay.
    3. Yahoo Buzz - The latest news by category.

    If you already know what topics you are interested in, you
    can go to your favorite search engine and research those
    topics.

    To help you find out what others are searching for, you can
    use tools like:

    Google Adwords Keyword Research Tool

    SEOBook Keyword Research Tool


    Compile a list of keyword phrases. Using these keyword
    phrases to write your articles will help you rank well in
    the search engines.

    Checklist

    1. Choose at least one product to market.
    2. Choose at least one topic to write about.
    3. Create a list of keywords to use in your article
    writing campaign.

    Our next lesson is about creating your title. The title is
    one of the most important elements of your article because
    it tells the reader within seconds whether or not they
    should read your article.

    Introduction to Article Writing for Affiliates

    After a while of not posting to this blog, I´ll
    re-initiate such activity with a mini-course
    about article writing for affiliates, which is
    the title of this today post. Please read...

    Internet marketer Travis Sago calls it "bum
    marketing". Whatever you decide to call it,
    writing articles to promote affiliate programs is
    one of the most effective ways to promote
    affiliate programs. In fact, it's one of the best
    ways to promote any product or service.

    There are several reasons article writing is
    superior to other methods of promotion:

    1. You don't have to know anyone to create an
    effective promotion.
    2. You don't have to know search engine optimization,
    although learning how to research keywords helps.
    3. Article writing is more viral than most other
    methods of promotion. Write a good article on your
    topic, and it will promote the product for you for
    years.
    4. It is an easy marketing technique to automate.
    Write an article a day or a couple of articles a
    week, submit them, and Article Marketer's
    automated submission takes care of the rest.
    5. You are building value into your product. By
    providing helpful information to your potential
    customers, you influence their buying
    decisions. They are more likely to buy from you
    than someone who just posted an ad.
    6. You don't need a website. Although it is easier to
    market affiliate programs with one, you can
    improvise. You can easily create a free blog or
    Squidoo lens to promote your affiliate products.
    7. You don't have to be a writer or a copywriter to
    write great articles. Writing great articles is
    about sharing information with your reader in a
    conversational manner.

    Anyone can write an article. Knowing something
    about your topic certainly helps. For those who
    don't know how to write an article, this course
    will teach you.

    In the next lesson, you'll learn how to choose an
    appropriate topic for your article.

    In next post I'll give you day one of this very
    interesting e-course.

    A Different Way of Thinking When it Comes to Downline Building!

    Downline building has been around since the beginning of the
    internet. The offer is very exciting, let people know about
    your product or service, refer a few folks and presto, you
    are on your way to massive success. What's the problem with
    this scenario though?

    Simple, downline building isn't as effective as it once was
    years ago. Sure there are people making lots of money
    online using their downlines and affiliate marketing
    strategies but during the past few years a change has been
    taking place.

    It's called the marketing funnel and if you think of the
    pyramid look of a 'downline', flip it!

    Affiliate Funnel

    Here's how it works. Get as many people as you can into the
    top of your funnel and funnel them down into paying
    customers. Start with a free front end product or service
    and then let your marketing turn those free leads into
    paying customers and clients.

    Affiliate Funnel is a service that does this plus so much
    more. It is an all in one business hub that shows you how
    to properly promote online using the best free resources
    around and channel these leads into a thriving downline.
    This is the power of a well put together marketing funnel,
    taking leads and turning them into clients.

    Affiliate Funnel is owned by two guys who have build
    massive six figure businesses using free resources and
    their own marketing funnel. Paul Kinder and Jon Olson have
    put their experience in a bottle and packaged it for anyone
    to check out for free at:

    Affiliate Funnel

    Be sure to check out the Funnel today and start to promote
    your business the right way using the absolute best tools
    on the net. The results are there, it's time to grab
    them...
