7 Tips For Success With EzineArticles.com

A writing pen The key to success with www.ezinearticles.com is quality and employing keywords in the correct density.
Keyword Density means how many times you use a certain keyword in your article.
People tend to overuse keywords with an intention of attracting the search engines but unfortunately what happens is the articles end up reading oddly. I personally prefer to keep the keyword density below 2%.
I realize that recently 1-2% keyword density has been a lot more effective.
However, for a long time 1-3% was the perfect keyword density...at least in my experience.
Here are 7 tips that might help increase your views and Click Throughs.

1. Be serious and professional with your headlines/article titles. And have your strongest keyword in the title too.

2. Talk to your readers in a conversational tone.

3. Be a teacher! Remember your article must give away a solution or some useful knowledge.

4. Use a 1-3% keyword density and try to be as nonchalant as possible with your keyword placement.

5. ALWAYS write 100% unique articles, don't go spinning and twirling.

6. Give a strong, but REALISTIC call to action in your author resource box and include a link to your site of course.

7. Make sure your article delivers what it promises.

Starting an On-Line Business for newcomers - What choice of Autoresponder?

As Featured On EzineArticles Signing up for an autoresponder service, is one the most important things if not the most important things you would want to spend some time considering before starting an on line business. The importance of an autoresponder cannot be underestimated.
But why?-I hear you ask. Autoresponders are an online marketer's secret weapon they have many useful functions namely -
  • Allows the easy creation of an 'opt in' form on your website
  • Collects email addresses of visitors to your website
  • Sends automatic messages to your prospects
Please note: a prospect is someone who has signed up to your site ie they have given you their email address.
It takes on average 7 messages before a prospect makes a purchase. An autoresponder is very important therefore because it allows you to build a relationship with your list.
Now the time has come to choose, do we go for the Free Autoresponder Service or hire the services of a paid Autoresponder Service.
I highly recommend that you do not go the free route when getting an autoresponder.
There are two reasons why:
Firstly, because of the rampant use of using free autoresponders for spam activities, many free autoresponders are blacklisted. What this means to you, is that your delivery rates will be very low. The only free autoresponder that I know of that still has decent delivery rates is Getresponse's free account.
Secondly, when you get tired of your low delivery rates and want to go to a paid autoresponder, you will have to get all of your current subscribers to double opt in AGAIN to your new list. And as many people who have done it have found out, you will lose a large percentage of your mailing list.
Again, I do not recommend going the free way, but if you are set on doing it anyway, at least do it with Getresponse. At least it has a higher delivery rates and because when you do decide to upgrade to a paid version with Getresponse, you won't have to your subscribers double opt in again, so you won't lose any subscribers needlessly.
However, remember that just like the free versions of other autoresponders, the free version of Getresponse also places advertisement in all of your messages. The free version allows you to create one list and send up to five follow up messages.
The other, highly ranked and praised Paid Autoresponder Service worth concerning yourself with is - Aweber.
Sometimes Aweber offer a FREE trial or discounted trails for a limited period, but that offer does come and go.

Article Marketing Powertips!

Here are a few simple yet powerful tips to guarantee your article Yellow manic lifting weights gets as much exposure as possible.

Use keywords.

If you simply ensure the TITLE and the opening paragraph contain popular "keyword phrases" that people in your niche might be searching for on the Internet... then you have done 90% of the work.

Always submit your articles to Ezinearticles FIRST.

Since they are the "Google" of the article directories, it's very important to submit to them first.
Here's why....let's say for example you submit your articles to other directories before you submit to Ezinearticles.
What happens is when your articles go into 'pending review' at Ezinearticles they'll run a check to make sure that you've submitted original content.
The problem arises when they come across a duplicate copy of the same article at one or more of the other directories. If that happens, in most cases your article will not be published.

Write a keyword rich title - with a solution.

Make up a unique title and search for the title in quotes at Google and if the results are not in the millions -- I always aim for under 40,000 - then you might have a very good chance at making the first page on a Search Engine Results Page. A 4 or 5 word keyword works (known as long tail).

Really use your resource box.

Remember the WHOLE point of your article -- is to get a reader to click through to your site.
You put your details at the end of the article -- in the area known as the resource box.
It's here that you have to SIZZLE! Really sell your site -- even better -- offer a solution to a problem. If you have a FREE gift -- shout about it here! This is your free advert -- use it wisely and strongly.

How Starbucks Got It Right…and How You Can Too.

yellow manic bending over with a microscope Creating a successful business is all about establishing trust.
The success of Starbucks is 100% linked to the trust their customers have of the company.
Did you know - Starbucks have put their success down to 5 principles.
The following is taken from The Starbucks Experience by Joseph Michelli.
As I read this book -- it struck me that the success of Starbucks can also be applied to an Internet Business.
Despite maybe at first appearing unrelated...
...there are in fact many similarities between earning a passive income online -- and going in to grab an ice blended mocha.
Starbucks have put their success down to 5 principles.

Making the Internet Work for You - It Starts With The Mindset....

Thinking man
It has been proven time after time after time after time, that the way we look at our life is essentially a barometer of our expectations.
This is based on what we've been taught we are worthy of having and capable of achieving.
These influences are mostly inspired by external influences - such as family, upbringing, and community.
Here's a thought for you.
Most people will go to the time and effort of writing a will at some stage of their life, to say what they want to happen after they die. Few people put the same effort into what they want to happen whilst they are still here. Take a moment right now to notice how you look at the world.
How do you view the business of making money online? Be honest!!
Do you believe that it will be difficult but it can be done?
Or secretly deep down inside do you think it won't really work for you?
If you chose the latter - firstly congratulations on being honest with yourself.
But secondly - let me tell you clearly and plainly - making money online IS something that the average Joe CAN do. But the FIRST step is adopting the correct mindset.
Are you plagued by negative thoughts? The 'yeahs' - the ' buts'? If so, it is critical that you cut those thoughts out as soon as they start.
Whatever you think about constantly, you will create.
If you're continually focusing on how difficult your goal is, you will never achieve it.

Want to Start an Online Business - First Sell Other People's Products As An Affiliate

Selling affiliate products is a great way to get started on line. An affiliate program is simply a NO RISK partnership that allows you to promote another company product or service on your webpage to earn a percentage of their sales.
As one of the company "affiliates" you are assigned a special "affiliate URL" that tracks the visitors that you send to their website and you earn a commission each time someone you have referred to their web site makes a purchase. You might post a banner on your web site that links to the affiliate programs site or you might publish an article about the company and their products in your newsletter.
You sign up for their program and within five minutes of filling out the application you receive your welcome package that contains all of the instructions you need to get started. After reading through the package you choose some text with a link that you think is particularly suited to your site and you add it to your web page. It only takes about 10 minutes to do.
Now any visitor that comes to your site will see this link. Those who are interested in learning the training techniques used by professionals will click on the link to learn more. When a visitor clicks on your affiliate banner or text link they are automatically taken to the web site of the affiliate program where they are exposed to sales copy for the website you signed up for. So the affiliate program does the hard selling, giving the visitor you referred all of the information they need to make a buying decision. But here is the best part, you get your commission for the sale.
When you want to find out how many visitors have clicked through your affiliate link and how many of them have bought the product through link, you simply need to visit your URL that the affiliate program gave you where your personal sales statistics are all recorded in real time.
So, making money from other peoples product as an affiliate products is much easier than selling your own product on the Internet.
Every affiliate website program has their own policies of paying the affiliate members, read it carefully before signing up, as this how you r sales will be handled, biweekly pay or monthly payment of the commission you made. Some affiliate programs have a certain amount fixed, for example your commission have to reach to $ 200.00 to receive the commission check.
Affiliate websites also have residual income plans. These are a part of the compensation plan, depending on your sales or making a team of affiliates to sell with you get the additional payments. This makes affiliates happy. The affiliate website owner also get double advantage of it. He get his product sold and at the same time his selling affiliate teams gets bigger for selling more. So the owner and affiliate both are able to take their income to a higher levels.
Now where to look for affiliate program to join: Just like anything and everything search for best affiliate program on any search engine and you will find some listed. Besides this AFFILIATE DIRECTORIES is another way to go. You will find a list of popular affiliate programs and listings of TOP TEN AFFILIATES. Read all the details and make your choice out of these directories.
For people who are new to Internet business and want to gain experience to know it better before starting their own websites to sell a service and product affiliate program are a great opportunity. It makes them learn, the important features of Internet business, it gives them experience of how to sell on the Internet. And some excellent sales people only want to sell other peoples product and services and they are able to make same amount of money as having a product or service of their own from their own website. Selling as an affiliate on the Internet means, you will not have to do the hassles of maintaining the administration of the business and website maintenance and you can sell more in the time you save by not performing these administrative duties.
