Points to make on posting articles on other blogs and websites
Posting articles on other blogs and websites
After you know the advantages of having your own blog but you don't want to pay for it. The first place to post any article is on your own website or blog, as shown above. If you don't have one, you can set up a free blog at http://www.blogger.com or http://www.wordpress.com
Some additional ideas for free hosting if you don't have your own site is to set up a Squidoo lens ( http://squidoo.com ) or Hub Pages (http:///hubpages.com ) . It's easy to set up, it's free, and a great place to post!
Submit to article directories
Another idea is to place articles in article directories. The top four benefits of posting here include:
- You are viewed as an expert
-
People can find your articles in the search engines
- Each article includes your resource box to promote your affiliate link (see How To Report – Signature Ads for detail
- Other webmasters can add your article to their websites and blogs (including your resource box)
Below is a list of ten article directories. Submitting articles to them is self-explanatory. Just look for the appropriate tab, generally called 'Submit Articles', at each site. Some directories approve your articles immediately, while others take up to a day to 'go live'. Be sure to read the rules and regulations for each directory before submitting.
Post your article on forums
One of the ideas given for repurposing an article was to write specifically for a particular target market. The same thing applies when posting an article at the forums you frequent.
As mentioned in the other How To Reports, be sure you have been participating in the forums, contributing information, asking good questions, and generally interacting with other members. Don't post your article as your first contribution to the forum, as it may be seen as 'drive by' spam.
Simply post your article or preface it by saying, 'I just posted the following article on my blog and thought you would enjoy reading it.'
That's it! See how easy it is to get extra mileage from the GetResponse blog post or to write your own articles? You'll be driving traffic – and profits − to your affiliate site in no time!
You will also learn how to build your email list for further promotion!
Why use articles or blog posts?
Why use articles or blog posts?
You an see many large companies promote their products using blogs. One of the primary reasons for writing or repurposing articles is the free publicity it provides. When reading a newspaper, most people believe the articles more than advertisements because they provide information. It works the same way with articles vs. online advertisements. In general, articles are a very effective way to drive readers to your product site.
You can re-use an article multiple times using the tips below. This allows you to submit to article directories as well as posting on your own website or blog. Who knows…your article could appear all over the web if other webmasters select it from a directory! This provides compound exposure for you – and your products – at no charge!
The blog is used to collect your readers' emails, which is of great importance. You can read top-15-ways-to-build-your-subscriber. You will be an expert in how you use email marketing, what you have learned, and how you have implemented it in your own business. This can be profitable for you and priceless for the hordes of surfers seeking information on the web! If you want to build eye-catching emails, you should learn from Email Creator.
Repurposing articles
If you plan to use the articles already on the Internet, or write your own articles to submit in multiple locations, you will want to know how to repurpose them.
Repurposing simply means that you create a variation of the original article for another use. Don't simply copy and paste everywhere. If you have done that, it is likely that the web surfer may have already read the article elsewhere and, therefore, won't read yours. There has also been lots of talk about a duplicate content penalty by Google. Why take the chance when it's so easy to repurpose your articles.
Here are some ideas you can use to easily find a new approach or audience for your article and get extra mileage out of each and every post!
-
Slant to a local / regional / state / or national area.
- Switch styles. Turn your article into a story emphasizing a particular point.
-
Write a Top 10 article. Then take 1-2 of those tips and expand it into a new article.
-
Write to a different market. Who else would like this information? For
example, an article about how
dentists can use email marketing can also
be used for doctors with just a few changes.
-
If your article is geared to someone with advanced skills, rewrite for a beginner. Or vice versa.

Top 15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List
Top 15 Ways to Build Your Subscriber List
Email marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you offer. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and, if done right, helps build loyalty and trust with customers. As a result, you generate more sales and more profits!
The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, permission-based email list. Marketers call contact lists their 'goldmine' because it can generate much of their sales revenue. If you've built up a list of opt-in subscribers that are qualified and interested in what you have to offer, then you've completed the first step and are on your way. Now it's time to 'mine' for gold!
Everyone has the same problem: I have understood why I need a blog to promote my products, but why the visitors don't come again........?
Below are my suggestions to improve your blog, and while you wish to boost your traffic rate, at the same time, you MUST think of ways to grow your emailing list! Below you'll find several list-building and retention ideas that will help you get the best results from all your email marketing activities:
- Provide useful, relevant content. Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be of interest or use to them.
- Add a subscription form to every page on your website. Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If it doesn't look cluttered, you may want to include more than one on some pages. For instance, if your opt-in form always appears in the top-left corner of your site, you may want to add one at the end of your most popular articles.
- Add subscription forms to your social media pages. Make sure that you don't waste this valuable source of revenue opportunities. Integrate your sign-up forms with Facebook and more!
- Make it easy for readers to sign up. The more information you request, the fewer people will opt-in. In most cases, a name and an email address should suffice. If it's not necessary, don't include it here. You can always survey them once they're customers! We do recommend that you provide a link to your Privacy Policy however.
- Publish a Privacy Policy. Let your readers know that they can be confident you will not share their information with others. The easiest way to do this is to set up a Privacy Policy web page and provide the link to it below your opt-in form. (Note: If you don't have one, put the words 'privacy policy generator' into a search engine and you should be able to find a suitable form to use.)
- Provide samples of your newsletters and Ezines. This lets potential subscribers review your materials before they sign up to determine if it's something they'd be interested in.
- Archive past newsletters and articles. An online library of past newsletters and articles is both appealing and useful to visitors and builds your credibility as an authority. In addition, if your articles are written with good SEO techniques in mind, they can increase traffic to your website through enhanced search engine positioning.
- Give gifts subscribers can actually use. Offer an opt-in bonus for joining your subscriber list! Write an ebook or provide a PDF business report, or even hire a programmer to create downloadable or web-based software. But don't limit yourself to offering gifts to opt-ins. Give them out when your readers fill out a survey, provide a testimonial, success story, or a great product idea. Let them know when they can expect the next gift offer. Everyone likes to get something for free! And if you pass out 'goodies' throughout the year, your subscribers will feel truly appreciated − and that's good for business!
- Ask your subscribers to pass it on. Word of mouth is a powerful viral technique that works great with email marketing. If your subscribers find your content interesting, amusing or informative, they'll probably share it with their friends. This can be a great source of new customers, so make sure to remind them to 'pass it on'.
- Let others reprint your newsletter as long as the content is not modified. If you're happy to share your content with the universe, then why not! Many webmasters and newsletter publishers are actively looking for high-quality content and, if they reprint your newsletter, you'll get new subscribers, and more traffic and links pointing to your site.
- Include a 'Sign Up' button in your newsletter. If you're using plain text instead of HTML, be sure to provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint them online. Make it easy for them to subscribe!
- Add a squeeze page. A squeeze page has one goal − to acquire opt-ins and build your list. Think of it as a mini-sales letter to go along with your subscription or opt-in gift. It should feature a strong headline and a couple of powerful benefits that should make subscribers salivate to sign up! Once created, use a service such as WordTracker to find hundreds of targeted keywords, and promote your offer using pay-per-click advertising from Google, MSN and Yahoo. Now that should make a splash!
- Include testimonials on your squeeze page. This is crucial. Put one or two strong testimonials from satisfied customers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video) is more 'believable' and inspires more people to action. To further enhance believability, get permission to use actual customer names, locations and/or urls (Don't use 'Bob K, FL'). Add a note inviting others to participate. After all, it's free publicity!
- Blog religiously. Blogging is a great way to communicate with prospects and potential customers, and creates a nice synergy with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign-up form on each page of your blog. You can start a free blog at Blogger or WordPress.
- Post on other blogs. Post thoughtful comments and information on similar blogs with a link to your squeeze or opt-in pages. Also comment on others' blogs through trackbacks. In most cases, your comments will be posted on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is an easy way to generate new traffic and subscribers, and get your brand out there!
