Still Sticking To The Basics and Going Strong!

It has been awhile since posted but just wanted to let you guys know that i am still making decent money with clickbank and very basic methods. I will post some more in the coming days but wanted to throw up a screen shot to show you that it is possible to make decent money online with a little bit of work and some dedication

Last year i made a bit over $10,000 with clickbank in one niche i am on track to make a bit more then that right now, as it stands i should make about $13,000 but I am starting a new niche that will hopefully increase that to $20,000 thats my goal.

March 16th 2011 Clickbank Screen Shot

My Clickbank Affilliate Marketing Plan That Works and Will Help You Make Money Online

It has been awhile since i have posted so i wanted to give you an update of what i have been doing and how things have been going. Sales are actually going very well. Again not guru levels but enough to make my families life alot better!! You can see my sales as of yesterday in the screen shot photo. As i write this i have also had $32.46 in sales today and its only 10 am. I am hoping for at least a $50 today!

All i really have been doing is article marketing, blog posting and then also using web 2.0 properties. I have been using a BETA version of some web 2.0 auto posting software from incansoft to help me post. But really I just developed a plan and stuck to it. It may not seem like much but it is working plus it gives me time for my family and job!

Here is My Daily Goal That I Try To Accomplish

Find keyword to write article around at 9:00 break at work. I use many methods to find them, just use what works for you or check out this keyword research guide as it gives alot of useful tips for finding keywords fast!

Write one 300-350 word article at lunch break at work submit to EZA

Get home and spin each article with Magic Article Rewriter

To spin the article I give each sentence 3 alternate sentences and do not just spin synonyms, i have had much better luck this way!

Post Spun Version to Self Hosted wordpress blog (main money site)


Submit Spun Version to Free Traffic System

Post to web 2.0 network with software

Submit  spun version of article by hand to articlesbase.com

Mass Submit with Magic Article Submitter to about 800 directories (set up MAS to randomly switch links between all web 2.0 sites and main website/blog)

After that I am done. I have placed an article on EZA and articlesbase, posted it to my free blog network and submitted it to other directories around the web.

I will then spend about an hour a around 9 pm after my kids go to bed to SEO my blog, sites and web network. This mainly involves getting back links from profiles, blog comments and content swaps with other blog owners. With this plan i can count on a sale or two per day and that sure helps me.

Sometimes on the weekend I will do more work, maybe getup at 5 am and slam out 5 articles submit them then call it a day! But my main focus is to stay consistent!

Clickbank Article Marketing Strategy Update

It seems that my new strategy might be paying off,since starting it this week i have had a 4 days in a row now with sales and traffic is picking up!!I am hoping i can get it back to where it was before! There is a screen shot to the left that shows my sales as of 10 am Saturday morning.

I have been writing like a madman as well, a new blog post everyday on the same few products is getting tiring. How many times can i say the same thing in a different way!!! I also noticed as I post to my blog about the products i promote i am moving up in Google for the actual product name. This is a nice side benefit!

In an attempt to gain a few more sales and more traffic I have begun to start using free web 2.0 properties to put up pages around low hanging keywords. All i do is set the original blog post up for spinning using Magic Article Rewriter.This has by far been the best article spinner i have used. Its easy and the creator is always making it better. It is manual so it does need your input but in my opinion thats the best way to go!

I give each sentence 3 new versions to pick from then change a few synonyms within the new sentences. I can spin a 300 word article like this in about 40 minutes. Then i submit it to about 15 web 2.0 pages i have using Web link Robot. This is a pretty cool program that will register and post to new web 2.0 accounts automatically and also post to existing web 2.0 networks! It also will spin the articles as it submits them. You just have to load them in spin ready format from magic article rewriter!

With this strategy i have been able to pick off 5-7 spots on some low hanging keywords. Not sure of their sticking power but i think a few back links to them would do the trick!

Anyways I will keep you guys posted on how this all shakes out! Hopefully i can get back to having $100 days a few times a week again!

Clickbank Progress So Far This Year - I Wish It Were Better

Alright so last year i was doing great, had alot of $100 days and thought 2010 would start with a bang! Well it has been more like a fizzle! Sales from clickbank so far this year have only been $679.68! This is way off from where i need to be to meet last years sales goals!

I am not sure if it is the economy or what! I have the hops and went from converting 1 in 25 to 1 in 217, can i get a big WTF!!! Anyways i started to try something different. I took the names of the products i created and started writing articles where people want more info about that product. I then mention why the product is so great and how it will help them, i also mention one negative about it but nothing to bad just enough to get some more trust and credibility!

For example i am using titles like "Does Whatever Product Work" "How Good Does What Ever Product Work"

i also built a few blogs in the niche and am spinning the articles and using them as posts to the blogs for some extra traffic! Even with the blogs traffic and hops are good but sales are slow!

This has brought alot more order form impression counts on my clickbank stats but not to many sales yet. I am going to max out this angle and see what happens when the economy gets better!

Additionally i signed up for Aweber and stared a list in a few niches including IM so if you want to get on my list just fill out the ugly box in the upper right hand corner!! I won't send yo worthless garbage everyday, in fact i rarely email out unless i write a new post or actually find a product worth mentioning!

Can't Get Your Wordpress Blog Indexed-Looking at a Common Wordpress Mistake.

Its been awhile since i set up a new wordpress blog and i just set one up in the forex niche last weekend. After it was set up i wrote a few articles for goarticles, 365articles and articlesbase. These are all instant approval sites so the articles were live instantly and they should help me get indexed quick.

I also social bookmarked my blog with social bot and did a few other things to get it indexed quickly. Three days later nothing, i could not figure it out.

Then i remembered that wordpress installations default to being invisible to the search engines so no matter what i did the blog would never get indexed.

To fix this all you have to do is go to the privacy settings page in your wordpress admin page and switch it from

"I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors" (default setting)

to

“I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers”

If you forget to do this your  blog will never be indexed and free traffic will never come. Its a simple tip but you would be surprised at how many people overlook this, especially people new to wordpress and IM.

My 2009 Year In Review!

Well 2009 is drawing to a close and i have alot to look back on this year. I had my best year in IM yet making over $10,000 and am pretty excited about that. I have learned alot this year and feel that 2010 is going to be much better for me.

My earnings for 2009 were as follows

• $6015.53 from clickbank ( 334 sales so about a sale a day)
• $2550 from local SEO work starting in July
• $1500 from a website i sold
• $400 from free lance article writing

So it was just a tad over $10,000. Considering I am 100% self taught and did this with out a list i am pretty happy. While it is true there are people who make this every month i did it working 40-50 hours a week at a normal job and raising two small kids!

All in all its not a bad year as i look back. But this year i hope to get into list building and maximize my income. I just started messing around with Aweber and if you would like to get on my list there is a small box on the right hand side of my blog.

Its a small little opt in box but I still have alot of learning and experimenting to do but for now the simple box will have to do! I am working on getting some free products to give away when you sign up.

Anyways if you sign up I won't spam you with endless product offers but hope to offer extra tips to  my list then I give on my blog! And i will only send you product offers that i truly believe are worth it.

Anyways I wish everyone a safe and happy new year and I am looking forward to an exciting 2010 and hope yo are as well!

Backlinking Articles-The easy Way To Get It Done

Easy Way To Get Back Links!!

One of the fastest and easiest ways to add back links to your websites and your articles is to use profile links. Profile links are anchor text links in that you place in your profile page at popular websites high Page Rank websites.

The only problem with this method is finding the high page ranks websites that actually give your links a "follow" attribute instead of the dreaded "no follow". This was long and tedious work, but worth it was worth it in the end because the results it gives are very good and your sites rankings can jump rather quickly, even for some high to medium competition keywords.

Well the hard work is over and there is a now a link service that is giving you links to 30 high Page Rank websites for you to place your links on every month. The absolute best part about these links is that the sites they provide will give you a "follow" attribute. The best part is these 30 links will cost you only $5 a month!!

What You Get For Your Money!

This link packet arrives usually the first few days of the month and is a full color PDF file that shows you with full color screen shots and step by step instructions on how to sign up at each site and check the accuracy of your links on that page. As a nice addition there is also a link in the pack itself to each site that you can click and be taken right to the site itself.

How Long Will It Take To Place 30 Links?

It takes me normally 2-3 hours to get through the whole pack of 30 links. After i do the pack once i do it again using a IP hiding service and do it again for another article or domain a week or two later.

Although it sounds to good to be true these links actually work and have been helping my articles rise in the search engines for some very competitive keywords since i began using them about three months ago!! In addition a few of my articles are now PR 3 and one is a PR 4!!

Learn more about these links at http://www.dseventures.com/backlinks

In the next few days i will give you some tips i discovered about using these links for maximum effect!

My New and Effective Article Marketing Strategy For Clickbank Products

I recently have started to change the way i article market. I used to just blast out a bunch of articles per niche at ezinearticles.com and hope for the best. While this system worked it just was not something I wanted to keep doing, mind you I was writing about 150-200 articles per niche myself to save money. Sales from this system were OK but sporadic at best. I was redirecting the traffic right to the sales page with little else.

I needed Something New

I was thinking of ways to get away from this method but kept drawing a blank, everything i read says blast out articles as fast as possible right!!

Well i strayed from the normal advice and it has been paying off nicely with a sale happening at least every day. As i write this I have made $69.17 On Clickbank so far today and am averaging around $50-$60 per day now. Not guru earnings but enough to change my life and improve the life of my family.

What Have I Been Doing to Bump Up My Sales

Well to start most of my sales are coming from only 10 articles, yes only 10 articles!!! Now on to what i am doing, although i won't reveal it all i will give you enough to get you going.

I started by finding an article directory that was showing up for Google searches in my niche and one that was low key enough to be able to bookmark at the popular social bookmarking sites!! Just search for some keywords and look, you may have to jump back a few pages to find the lesser known directories.

For keyword research i recommend and use digging for gold

Next i wrote 10 articles around some competitive keywords that got at least 5000-7000 searches per month. I also picked keywords that were people looking to get advice. For example instead of writing an article about weight loss i would write about losing the last 5 pounds or something like that!!

I also rewrote these articles and did submit them to ezinearticles.com as well as the lesser known directory that i found.

The articles were only 350-400 words and followed this format

1.state a problem
2.make the problem worse with an example
3. tell them one tip how to fix it
4. offer the solution in my resource box

I used the old article marketing tactics. bullet points, sub heading and two or three sentence paragraphs.

When The Article Were Done

I then bookmarked each article.This is where finding a low key directory is important. Most bookmarking sites have blacklisted ezinearticles but some lesser known directories can be bookmarked with no problems.

Next i used profile links at popular web 2.0 sites

For every site i signed up at i would do a full profile, upload a picture and then write my bio with two keyword anchor text links in my bio pointing to my articles at ezinearticles and the other directory i used. It worked like magic. In fact these links are responsible for me ranking for some very tough keywords!

What Are Profile Links


Profile links are links at popular sites like plaxo.com where you get a personal blog or profile page where you can leave a bio with an HTML anchor text link. Just make sure to write a good bio and not just plug in your link. Keep the links to about one or two per profile. Make sure to ping the profiles you create at www.pingoat.com

Profile Link Services I Use

PJ'S BackLinks

Angelas Backlinks

Next was the big booster that has worked like a charm.

I used two tools for this step.

The first is Magic Article Re writer and the second is Article Post Robot.

Magic Article Rewriter is a semi manual article spinner that is jammed full of features. What you do is enter alternate words in brackets and the program will generate article from those alternates.

for example you a sentence would look like this i need to {buy|purchase|get a hold of|grab|get} a new {car}automobile|ride|set of wheels} very soon.

There are so many features in this software thats it blows the other article re writers like power article re writer out of the water.

To see it in action check out this video

The developer of this software also offers an article submitter. It works OK but only submits to directories that use the articledashboard software so you are limited some what when compared to article post robot. But it does sign you up automatically which is a nice feature!

Once your whole article is set up like that you can either hit a spin button and make as many unique articles as you want or do what i did.

Once I Set The Article Up To Spin

I then take the whole article with the brackets in place and paste them into Article Post Robot the leading automatic article submitter that can submit to over 400 article directories and spin them as they are submitted.

I set the software up to submit to only directories with a minimum page rank of 3, that worked out to about 55 directories. What these two tools combined allowed me to do was to submit 55 unique articles that had spun article bodies,titles,resource boxes and article descriptions effectively submitting a unique article with a unique title,description and resource box to each directory..

At the end of each article i used an anchor link that was the keywords i wanted the articles to rank for. I pointed this anchor text link to my 10 articles at ezinearticles and the other 10 at the other directory i used for high rankings. In a short time of doing this my articles on both directories were climbing up the Google ladder and i have some that are on the first page of google out of 44,000,000 sites and some of my articles even have a PR 3 and 4 now!

Cool thing is that the traffic from the other directory is about the same as ezinearticles, so it is possible to get traffic from somewhere other then EZA!

So basically i wrote 10 very well written money making articles and promoted the heck out of them. In addition i also took some spun articles and submitted to popular web 2.0 sites like zimbio,wordpress,blogger,wet paint,squidoo,hubpages, ETC and pointed links at these sites at my money articles, my main site and each other!

Where I sent Them When They Clicked Through

My landing page was a real simple page were i put a paragraph pre selling the product and a picture of the product, under the pre sell paragraph i put a click here for more information button. that's it. I am converting one out of every 25 hops with this system and enjoying more free time to boot.

To tune this system I write and spin a new article a week that links to my money making articles and mass submit it with APR, I add a few profile links for each article, and add a post to my blogger and wordpress blogs once every week or two. Other then that the rankings are sticking and traffic is growing.

I know i was brief and If I was unclear about anything i wrote please feel free to ask me a question and i will do my best to try and explain in more detail for you.

This system goes against popular thinking and uses no list to generate sales. I do plan to add a list at a tlater date and see how that ramps up my sales. But until then i am happy with my progress!

Just a Quick Update and a Link To a Free Article Writer

Its been awhile since i last posted and i must say things are going very well. I picked up a local SEO job for a mortgage/real estate company and was able in a very short amount of time to get them on the front page of google for some very competitive terms and beat some of the large local companies in the process!!

So to my surprise i guess I do actually know something!:)

I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 15 SEO optimized posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!

As far as the clickbank earnings are concerned they have been doing well and I am averaging about 1-2 sales per day over the course of the month. for a amount fo $25 to $50 per day.

I have not been article marketing much or doing much of anything to promote my clickbank stuff and need to pick it up to increase my earnings a bit. My goal is a consistent $100 per day. I did just outsource my first batch of 10 articles and am waiting to see how that goes.

I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 10 posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!

This is really just a post to touch base again and let yo know i am still here.

But i also wanted to share with you a FREE product i found that helps you write articles quicker. There is no catch, just opt in and grab your product.

www.articleassistant.com

I have no affiliation with the product or its creator but i do think its a cool piece of software and wanted to let you know about it!

Anyways I will be back to share a few tips I have discovered over the last two months thathave helped me rank a site faster!

Make Money With Clickbank-My Bum Marketing Plan That Is Simple and Will Work For You!

How To Make Money With clickbank and Bum Marketing

Here is a simple plan that I have been working on that I will be implementing very soon for my clickbank niches.The goal of this plan is to dominate lower competition keywords. If done correctly you could literally own the first page of Google for some keywords!

This is not a million dollar campaign though and may generate a sale or two per day or more or less depending on lots of variables. But if you can pump one of these out a month you could easily be making $100 a day in a few months!

Where To Start

Start by finding a product you want t promote the best place to do this is at clickbank analytics here you can see products and locate products much easier then the clickbank search option lets you. I tend to stick to niches that rarely change and alot of people want. Weight loss is one, it never changes and people will always want it. Where something like the nintendo WII has a limited life. Choose you niches wisely so they last along time!

The very next thing you need to do is find 30 low competition keywords for your product that you think you can dominate easily. There are many ways to do this but i have found that googles keyword tool works the best.

The subject of keyword research can take up a whole book so i will leave it at that.If you want a few advanced keyword research techniques that are out of the box and very effective check out www.dseventures.com/diggingforgold

After You Have Your Keywords

Start out by starting a squidoo lense based around three low competition keywords in your niche. You can do more but i find that if written well and set up right three lenses work out well for me.

I try and setup my lenses around problem keywords instead of general ones. What i mean is set them up so they help people solve a problem. For example the keyword "How To Make My Belly Flatter" would probably peak more interest then "weight Loss"

To build a squidoo lense the right way I recommend One Week Marketing. It will walk you through a lens setup step by step and give you valuable tips that will help yo make money fast!

Once Your Lenses Are Built

Next by a domain name relative to your offer and use it to redirect to your clickbank offer. I use www.namecheap.com since they are reliable, priced well and let you redirect for free so no hosting is needed!

Try and get something that is related to your niche,if you are in the bowling niche a domain name like www.bowlingdomination.com would work!

Start Writing Articles!

Next I write 10 articles to link to each lense (30 articles total) and submit them to the best article directory on the internet www.ezinearticles.com first. Each article is roughly 250-300 words and will include an anchor text link to my squidoo lense and and regular old www.domainname.com with a redirect link to the offer i am promoting.

Once this is done I take these articles and rewrite each one 6 times. You can do this by hand or use a article spinner, i use Magic Article Rewriter its not free but it is very much worth it if you are serious about making money. Just remember to spin both the title and resource boxes to get maximum effect and google rankings!

When I have my spun article i submit them to the following article directories. Keep in mind you do not have to spin them all at once. I usually spin one or two a day due to time constraints!

www.hubpages.com

www.goarticles.com

www.articledashboard.com

www.amazines.com

I also will auto submit them to 100 other low PR directories once the articles are approved at the main directories. I use Article Post Robot to automate the mass submission. The great part is that you can load content in spinning syntax into APR and it will submit a unique article to each directory.

In Addition To The Article Directories

Next I start two FREE blogger blogger blogs and post one of the spun articles on each one. This gives me two free blogs with 30 posts each at the end. You can use wordpress as well but i prefer blogger and its ease of use. Plus i get less spam comments from blogger blogs

Bookmarking Your Blogs and Squidoo Lenses

I do not go social book marking crazy all i do is use the two most powerful social sites that i know of digg and propeller.I digg each blog post and squidoo lense also I submit each post to propeller. At propeller get about 25 friends and join relative groups and share each submission with the groups and your friends. They will prop your story and get it seen more and ranking better.

Just make sure your titles are the low competition keyword you are targeting and usually these will show up in Google within hours.

Your post will get propped and usually rank well in google and drive traffic to your blogs. Most article directories cannot be bookmarked so do not even try! Try and get as many friends as you can to help yo prop your articles. Submit some mainstream news stories every so often to avoid looking like a spammer

I also submit the RSS feeds from my blogger blog,article directories and squidoo lenses to the popular RSS directories

www.feedagg.com

www.feedage.com

www.feedest.com

www.zimbio.com (you can also start your own ezine here)

In addition I also submit both my blogs to www.blogcatalog.com this site alone brings in a few visitors a day so its worth , best part is it's.

Once this plan is complete I have 120 articles,two blogs with 30 pages each and three squidoo lenses,rss feed directories all getting traffic and making me money.

At this point I say move onto another niche and let this one run it course and see how the sales go.If researched correctly and using well written articles this plan should generate about50-100 hops per day. I will leave the campaign alone at this point but if the sales come in and If it looks good then write more articles and promote it more.

If it does not perform then all you have lost is time, and it should make a sale here and there so its not a total loss!

I will be posting some tricks i use for article marketing, blog set up and other things that help just a little bit!

March 2009 Making Money WIth Clickbank Article Marketing Progress Update

Well march came to a close and i missed beating Februarys earnings by a few dollars. I was still able to pull out $460.99 in earnings. It would have been over $525 but i had a few returns.

Still I have about 15 hours of work invested this month writing articles so that to me is a pretty good return on investment. I have 102 live articles for my second product live at ezinearticles with 7 more waiting for approval. All articles are 250-275 words.

This month something weird was going on with CB. I had 4-5 day streaks with no sales and this was getting me worried.

There were even others on some popular Internet marketing forums that were experiencing the same thing as me. These were people doing consistent hundred dollar days then having sudden runs of no sales. Anyways It seems to me to have disappeared and went back to normal, for me anyway.

Even in this weird month I had my 3 highest earning days ever. I had two days in the $60 rang and one day i made just under $75!! I just need to hit my first $100 day and i will be happy.

I really feel it is all going to start paying off soon and I am looking into outsourcing some tasks like article writing and possibly article submissions.

The bad news is my first product i started promoting has really fallen in sales. It is a hobby related item and i think that once the economy picks back up the sales will start again, after all it is getting 100-150 hops per day from 132 articles.

I am also in the process of setting up a sales page for my own product and am curious to see how that works out! It is non Internet marketing related!

Additional earnings were $4.32 from bidvertiser, $1.63 from ebay partner network and $60 for a 10 pack of articles I wrote for another marketer. So all in all i Did over $500 this month.

Awesome Free CPA Report-The Best Free Report I Have Ever Read

I just downloaded and read one of the best FREE reports i have ever read. It was 89 pages and covered everything from keyword research to video marketing.

Even though the overall theme of the report was about CPA (cost per action) it covered so much more.It went over so many free resources that i did not even know existed.

I am actually surprised this guy gave so much away for free, I am sure he is selling something later on but the wealth of information provided is amazing!

Making Money With Clickbank And Article Marketing Update

So far the clickbank sales have been OK but not consistent. So far for december i have made about $48 through sales. I do attribute this to not keeping up article marketing as much as i was.

I only have 52 live articles in the niche at ezinearticles and wanted to have 100 by now.

The reason for this was partly the holidays and secondly the fact that i was trying to find a good Adsense alternative for one of my mortgage sites that gets about 150 new visitors a day and used to be my main money making site.

I think i found it with Miva publisher network. I will let you know how that goes and how the payout are compared to Adsense.

Banned From Adsense-Clickbank Article Marketing Campaign Update

After being banned from adsense i started down a path to article marketing clickbank products in order to replace my lost income. It started out very well on Novemer 6th with a burst of initial sales but has slowed a bit, i have not made a sale in the last 6 days. I am one third of my way to my goal of 150 live articles for the niche at ezinearticles and will continue to soldier on.

Where I Am At

I currently have 47 live articles for my niche at ezinearticles and am going to start rewriting the top performing ones and posting them to the following directories. I will link with an anchor text link to my ezinearticles from these other directories to see if i can bump up some of my articles in the google rankings. I will also inclue one link to my clickbank product. Should be interesting to see what happens. Each article will be 100% rewritten for each directory.

goarticles

amazines

articledashboard

Article Performance So Far

Total hops for this niche campaign so far is 1024 hops with six sales. But with 47 articles and two links in each resource box and the fact that ezinearticles checks each link twice per article submission that would knock the hops down to around 836 then i probably used up the other 36 testing hop links and stuff so in total i have about 800 hops and 6 sales that equal $46 and change.

While not a huge commissions this niche is one i know inside and out so writing about is easy and makes getting things done for it much easier. Once ii have a better grasp on the system i will try a product that pays out better

I also sold an asthma ebook from my clickbank rotator ads that netted me just under 22. The clickbank ad rotator is kinda cool. It replaces adsense ads on websites and will display ads for niche related clickbank products. If you look on the right hand side of this post you can see them in action.

It is going slow and with the holidays coming up i think people are worried about other things and saving money for Christmas. However the niche i am in usually is very busy from September through spring and is hobby related. I do have full confidence in the system and know that once the holidays pass and the economy does not get any worse the sales should start to roll in more then they are now.

My next step is to try a few ads at the online classified advertising site USfree ads I also want to build a wordpress blog on the subject and maybe some other stuff if i have the time. A landing page with an opt in box is also a top priority as well but having a family with two kids under 6 is keeping me away from getting some of that done as quick as I would like.

Might Try Pay Per Click

I was able to get $20 in free Pay Per Click at bidvertiser and will be trying that out very soon to. Probably going to wait until after the first of the year for PPC though. i want to see if sales increase with traffic from the articles and usfreeads before i burn thourgh the $20.

I also want to give adwords atry but will wait and see what happens after the holidays.

6 Article Marketing Tips To Get Your Articles Read

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Take Your Marketing To The Next Level With Article Marketing Domination

Analyzing a Niche Effectively

Many people fail at Adsense because they do not analyze their niches correctly or do the proper keyword research. I recently purchased a great Ebook that goes over this exact subject and does so in a easy to read informative manner with tons of example pictures to help you understand better.

While it is not Adsense specific it does tell you how to analyze a niche for competitiveness, find the good keywords, the profit potential for Adsense and Affiliate products and a ton of other useful things that will help you dominate a niche.

All in all it is one of the better books i have read on this subject and was very reasonably priced at $17 unlike the standard $47 Ebooks we all see around the internet.

Even if you have been at the online game awhile you will learn something from this book.

How Much Can I Earn WIth Google Adsense

If you're looking at Google's AdSense program you're surely asking yourself how much you could make from such a program, and you probably think you can't make as much as you can from traditional advertising schemes.

Google, of course, keeps a great deal of secrecy regarding how much AdWords advertisers pay per each click directed to their site and the same applies for how much AdSense banner holders make from their websites.

While there's nothing official, rumors circulate around the Internet concerning the amount of cash a website can earn by using AdSense. And many people (illegally) disclose how much they have been making with AdSense. There are stories of people raising over one thousand dollars per month using AdSense.

There are also stories of people exceeding $100,000.00 per month but it's a bit hard to believe such stories. The truth to the matter is that if you have a small website and you just want it to support itself, and don't wish to reach your pocket for its maintenance costs you can probably do this with AdSense.

AdSense is also very good for people who host a lot of pages. Even if the said pages don't generate a lot of traffic individually, every click counts and you can earn up with a lot of money by doing this. And that just goes to prove that sometimes quantity matters nearly as much as quality.

There's no telling how much money you're going to make by using Google's AdSense but you can sort of tell for yourself, before actually starting, by taking a few things into consideration.

First, is the amount of visits you get every day. While there's no way to estimate precisely on this, you can generally make a safe assumption that if you have a lot of clicks per day you'll be making good money.

Also, this depends on what exactly your site is about. If your site is about anything popular (music, sex, whatever) you're bound to get a lot of banner clicks. These have a coefficient associated with them, called the CTR (click through ratio).

Basically, what it translates to is that if a large proportion of your site's visitors click the ads you'll be making more money. And the best way to do this is to have some popular content in your site, ensuring the links direct users towards popular items as well.

Then of course, there's the position and number of ads on your website. While you don't want to overdo it, having many links will undoubtedly generate more income for you as a webmaster. Do not however believe, that if you just add a lot of ads in an important portion of your site, visitors could always just skip them (and be assured that many do just that).

There's something between an art and a science to positioning your ads. People generally look in certain places and never look in others, and knowing this a website author and/or webmaster can do a great deal of things to increase his earnings with AdSense.

All in all, the amount of money you make with AdSense depends on many factors. But if you have a site with interesting contents and/or many pages, and if you see a constantly large amount of traffic every day, you can bet you'll be making a lot of money with AdSense.

Even if you aren't in the above categories, AdSense is still worth using because there's very little hassle in setting it up, and many times it can help financially support the site, whilst being a nice bonus to get through the post at the end of the month.
