Article Traffic – Ways And Methods

I’m sure many of you have used article marketing as a means of generating traffic. No doubt, it’s a good strategy to drive traffic… but… is it an efficient use of time? Personally I think article marketing is a very powerful approach. However, the problem lies in the following:

• Many people in Asia are not comfortable writing in English.
• Writing is a tedious process because it is not usually a habit.
• It’s a tedious process to even generate good ideas for articles even if you can write.

Gil Boyne, Master Hypnotherapist, on forums

I was a little shocked when I saw the name, but it was apparent that no ordinary person would put the name “Gil Boyne” as a forum nickname so I asked “Are you the hypnotherapist”.

Geez… he’s actually a forum member! I’m not sure what he’s doing on the forum, but it’s a real honor to have a highly decorated master of hypnotherapy on our forums!!

Anyhow, as a master hypnotherapist, you might picture him as real scary-and-can-read-my-thoughts kind of person. As someone who’s learnt NLP over the last 13 years of my life, I can tell you that hypnosis is nothing scary, and extremely valuable.

Power Copywriting Tips

Any of you who have followed my progress since I began would know that copywriting is my ’secret weapon’.

It’s true that I’d rather not reveal too much about the way I do copywriting, but you know, the most frustrating thing that I can see is people who are writing but can’t get their message across persuasively.

Copywriting is a survival skill. After all, if you can persuade someone, you can make that person buy. It’s about the way you use words. How you tweak the words to affect emotions. It’s a deliberate thing but if you learn it at first, it may seem to methodical. In reality, if you really believe in something a lot, you will already be convincing people about the benefits, and that is what sells – personability and benefits.

Find Your Why Main Event 2

Hey everyone,

Your favorite motivational internet marketer cum network marketing supercoach, John Di Lemme, is doing it again. Not only is he giving away proceeds from his book 100% to charity now (if you support this, stay tuned), his event in March 2008 is ALREADY being opened.

I’d suggest that for some serious JV venturing, you ought to find yourself a place here.

I’m still gathering the schedule for Yanik Silver’s Underground event, because they tend to have a clash (please, God…). If I can head down to Yanik’s event then to John’s event, that will be a real blast!

The Super Affiliate Handbook

No frills. That’s what I would say about the Super Affiliate Handbook. After my interview with Rosalind Gardner, I realized a lot of simple ground level basics that we should pay close attention to.

In fact, together with Ewen Chia’s newbie cash machine, I think both have great complements to each other.

Let me explain.

As an affiliate, you really need to have a global view of what is available to you. Rosalind actually gives you a great guide to get an overview of the affiliate marketing landscape from her own experience. With good recommendations of what hot markets to have and what items to look for, you should actually read this and then just start and go do it.

Internet Marketing Expert Series: Marketing A Site For Traffic

One of the fastest ways to generate a good amount of traffic is to create a momentum-based marketing plan. You need more than just a set of emails. You need to combine your marketing efforts with (1) a good and compelling series of content, and (2) a target location where people should go for even more.

Especially where local marketing is concerned, I would recommend that you devise your own channel for marketing. In other words, create your own newspaper, create your own media, create your own whatever, and then generate value on it. For instance, you know that one offline media you can use is a CD. If you know how to create audio CD content, you can basically create one every month. Each month, leverage on the advertising real estate on your CD covers to generate wealth for yourself.

Editor Problems With Upgrade to WP 2.1.2

I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.1.2!!! Had a slight problem, and it took me 30 minutes (what a waste of time) to sift through the support forums. I realized that the visual editor was facing problems, and there were script errors to no end.

After a while of searching, I found this post, and what I did was I simply unchecked the Visual Editor mode. Now I can type, but let’s hope this post gets through!

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing?

In 2006, several thousand internet marketers came into the affiliate marketing scene and made a killing. It was hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sales. They sold eBooks, home study courses, coaching programs… everything in the information product world ranging from copywriting to Google Adwords courses, search engine optimization to affiliate marketing and traffic generation strategies (and who can forget list building).

It was a crazy year. A year on, let’s look at the hundreds of millions of dollars spent, in relation to the money made. Was it justifiable? Were there more scams than normal? Were the profits real?
