How to rank your site with articles

Blogging for cash

author Posted by: Lambert on date Nov 15th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Articles for website promotion

If you are currently experiencing some shortage of cash, these are a couple of reasons why blogging for profit could be the most viable option for you.

It really depends if you just want to earn some short-term money or you really want to start an online business. But in whatever case, these are plus factors for you to make money with your blog:

Blogs are for free. This means you don’t need any capital, no excessive effort to put up internet marketing. It’s like acquiring an office without paying the down payment and the advance rent. So you get your space in the cyberworld without shedding bucks.

Blogging for cash - freelance writing, selling your photos, buy-and-selling your old books and clothes, among others - are things you could go during your spare time, or even during short cigarette and coffee breaks while at your regular job. To make money with your blog therefore could be considered a part time job. It would not interfere with the “physical” engagements you need to respond to during the day.

Internet marketing is a new form of skill that some people just learn by observing the existing online marketing sites and taking some tips little by little.

Most people would ask you to apply in some short course in college or university just to have such skill, but if you are dedicated and persevering, you could actually learn internet marketing by practicing it through your blog.

Small steps at the beginning, but when you learn it well, you could go one step further and building on your online business.

Joint businesses with friends could easily be monitored through blogging websites. Even if you are cities or states away from each other, you could monitor the business jointly through internet marketing.

And since you cannot afford to hire an employee for a small scale business as of now, you would have to make the most out of the possibilities of sitting in personally on your business. That spells blogging for cash for you right now.

Blogging for profit allows you to put some personal touch in your business without even saying a word, and maybe without introducing who you are.

Face to face marketing risks the impression management failure - if the client does not get the right vibes with you, then most probably you would not be able to sell anything to him or her. But online, through a blog brilliantly written with some very interesting visual aids, the potential client would be attracted to your products and deals on their own.

This is good especially if, quite honestly, you are not sure how good of a marketer you are just yet, personally.

Keeping up with your business through a blog would allow you to make the most out of the opportunities of technology. Online banking, synchronizing mobile banking, real time business negotiations - these are gifts of the information, technological age.

And with technology comes convenience and speed. Those are what make small scale businesses grow big really fast.

Hi, I’m Lambert Klein, and I’m a ghostwriter and marketing writer…

Hi, I’m Lambert Klein, and I’m a ghostwriter and marketing writer…

 

… and I’d like to write for you. I write high quality articles at reasonable prices, that you can use to market your product (online or offline), web site, blog, membership program, or service.

What do Ghost Writers Do? 

and what’s a Marketing Writer, anyway?

In a nutshell, ghost writers do the writing that you can’t do, then you take the credit and make the money as a result. Ghost writers work in many fields - from celebrity autobiographies to novels, self-help books to articles.

A marketing writer creates text to be used in marketing pieces - crafted to appeal to the reader in a way that leads them towards a purchase.

When and Why to use a Marketing Writer 

Ghost writers are not just for celebrities!

Use a marketing writer when you need articles written to promote your business, but you don’t have the time, you hate to write, English is not your native language, or you just don’t feel that you write very well.

You can use ghost writers to write articles and then use them in many ways to market your business:

  • Add them to your website to load it with the kind of unique, keyword-rich content that search engines love and send traffic to
  • Use one or more to create a lens right here on Squidoo that links to your site
  • Post them on article directories like ezinearticles to get backlinks and traffic
  • Roll several articles together to create a short report which makes a great giveaway to build a mailing list
  • Create an autoresponder series from them and send it to your mailing list subscribers

“My articles can help you get more links and drive web traffic!”

My specialty is marketing articles: short pieces of writing, 400 - 600+ words, that can be posted in multiple places on the internet to entice readers to click on a link which takes them to your target page (which could be a sales page, a product catalog, a lead generation page for your service, or whatever is appropriate for your business model).

Marketing articles posted in the right places have two big advantages: backlinks (links to your content which make the search engines see you as more important, and rank you higher in the results they show to searchers) and traffic. The more articles you have spread about the Web, the more backlinks you will have, and the more traffic you’ll get.

Ghostwriting: What is it?

author Posted by: Lambert on date Sep 10th, 2008 | filed Filed under: Articles for website promotion

Ghostwriting is the activity of professionally writing books or articles, which are accredited to another author. Ghostwriters are paid to write these articles but do not have the right to copyright or claim them. Many people, especially celebrities, political leaders, and executives hire a ghostwriter to edit or draft their work. Such responsibilities comprise in drafting magazines and other written materials.

Ghostwriting is applicable in the music industry especially classical music where writers compose songs, write and edit films along with other duties that require professional aid. Some authors and publishers acknowledge the help of a fictional writer for valuable assistance. Some individuals often search for a professional article writer to add value to their original work or to alter the whole content of article. The activity of ghostwriting entails editing, revising, researching and presenting original thoughts of the intended author.

Many people hire ghostwriters because they do not have time to commit themselves to writing. For an article writer, it is easier to share the intended idea and objective of writing articles with a ghostwriter who in turn writes the whole idea on their behalf. The original concept and the stories belong to the author but the mode of presentation is the work of a professional. Many companies resort to this technique especially when they want their business prospectus reviews done professionally.

The results are attractive and serve the intended purpose. This commercial skill requires special knowledge in order to compete fairly in the market. Ghostwriting can be fictional for individual writers who strive to maintain a record volume of articles published in a specific period. In some situations, a ghostwriter assumes a pseudonym or an alias name for writing. It has become common in blog writing for online forums and discussions. New and relevant blogs generate web traffic required for online marketing.

Quite often, ghostwriting involves political aspects of a people. Political figures employ the services of correspondence experts who contribute in the local dailies. They forward and publish articles to spread propaganda and manifestos to suit their political ideas. A ghostwriter can be used in the realm of medicine to review medical journals of respective pharmaceuticals.

The companies pay them for such services to promote their drugs and controversial outcome of medical researches. They seek the vital help of professional medical scripts done by a fictional writer. Usually, whenever companies grant online opportunities to the public to post their findings, a huge percentage of the contributions emerge from a fictional article writer. Positive materials guarantee positive impact on the clients for good sales.

Ghostwriting applies in academic writing whereby some college or university students employ the work of fictional writers to draft their essays. A professional article writer does term papers, dissertations and thesis for students at a fee. The basic idea in this category of ghost writing is to relay acceptable presentations that meet the recommended scientific method by a reliable and professional article writer.

Articles Know How

Author : James McGaughey

Todays Internet Marketing has become a huge part of our society. As such, the market for information has grown in it’s importance. What this Special Report will deal with is how to get the information to the people who want it. This can be accomplished through the use of Articles. I will also discuss how these articles can boost oyur online income.

Now down to business. The three things that you should do before start your articles:
1) Do not confuse the reason to promote the article with the reason you are writing it.
2) Remember t maximize the promotional opportunities inside your article.
3) Remember your article needs to answer a need that people have in order to get clicks on the article.

While addressing not confusing the reason to promote your article with the reason you are writing it. Here is where care should be taken, the main rerason you are writing is to say what you know on the subject, to inform the reader. Do this while keeping the promotional aspects in the back of your mind to use only if an opening occurs. The more articles you write the more openings you will create. I will discuss in more depth later how to use articles to your advantage. Just remember getting people to read what you write is your main objective.

Keeping in mind your main objective we now come to the second, and probably most important reason to you, objective. Just writing an article can boost your Search Engine Rank because of the importance of backlinks to your site. Search Engines use backlinks as well as other things to determine the importance of your site, the more important the higher the rank. Another way to help get higher rankings is to use keywords or Keyword Phrases, but be careful using to many of these is concidered Spamming the Search Engine and can hurt your chances at a higher ranking. You can use embeeded text links to pages or items on your website also, but care should be used here also as most directories are not able to support these type of links.

By using these tips and using care you should not only get visits to your site but subscribers as well.

Remember, the reason you write is to inform, with practice you will not only inform but you will be able to have a nice flowing article that informs the reader, and you get the benefits from inside of your article. In order to get the best results from your writing you will need to be creative.

Writing does not mean just putting words on paper, you want the reader to SEE what you are writing, to experience it so to say.

What we are going to focus on now is what it takes to really capture your reader. In order to know how to get the best responce from your audience you need to know them, know what they want,know what they need. Do not assume that you know. Do your research. Find the problem that you as the expert can supply the answer to.

Now that you know what you are going to write about, What do you do next? I think the answer here is to be creative. To pass your information on, make your audience want to read your article, appeal to there curiosity so they can not quit reading.

Here are some ways to help keep the creativity going:
1) Keep a journal
2) Relax
3) Create a comfort zone
4) Get the right mindset working
5) Do something unusal, let your mind go

By keeping a journal you get to look inside your mind, you get to read your mind as it were. By reading and writing in the journal you use your senses, this will tell you what triggered this thought or that thought or idea. by using the journal as an aide to your writing you have to be creative in the way you portray your thoughts. Do you see how this is going to work? You are in your inner mind, show me what I want to know, let your expertise be my guide.

Relax take the time to figure out where your mind is trying to go. If it is on a problem you have, fix the problem first. By not having anything but the task ahead your thoughts can flow, and that is what you want your article to do. Remember a nice flowing article is easy to read.

Another thing that will help is your working environment. Try to make where you work a place where you are comfortable, a place where your mind is at ease.

Are you in the mood to write? Do what ever it takes to get in the mood to wtite. The mood you are in will be reflected in what you write. As for me I like real nice Mood music playing softly in the background.

Before trying to write, do something different, something you do not ordinarilly do. Let your mind go wild for a bit. This can bring the creativity that you have out to be drawn upon. What ever it takes to get the proper mind set you want to do. Your writing will show it. One big thing to remember is that writing articles is a fast way to get your customers to keep buying.

Now that we have covered the basics of the creative part of writing your articles we will move on to the mechanics of writing it.

We already know that submitting articles creates backlinks to your site. Now we are going to learn how to make them effective. There are things each article must have to be really effective, they are as follows:

Your articles should use the same keywords and keyword phrases as your site. Search Engines do not only show websites in their results. Therefore if your article has the same keywords and phrases you now have two chances to be clicked on.

You also want good keyword density. What keyword density means is the amount of times you use the words in your articles. But as I said earlier be careful and do not spam the search engine, a good percentage would be between five to ten percent.

As mentioned embedded links can help on occassion, but as I said for the most part the major directories can not support their use. In this case the best thing to do here is add resource box at the end of your article. What you do here is add a little something about you, then add the link to your website. Give them an e-mail address in case they want to ask you a question, by the way if they ask you a question that means they trust you and your expertise.

I have more to cover so I think we should know why create an outline for our articles. We all have done this at sometime at school, now we need to do it again.

A well thought out article will take planning, with the planning will come the outline. It will be our plan as to what and where we want things mentioned. When you brainstorm over the article write your thoughts down, then organize them with the outline. If a particular thought comes to mind you will be able to decide where in the article you want it.

Once you have completed your outline all you have to do is connect the dots as it were. Now is when you let your creativity loose, let it work with all the knowledge based thoughts in your outline, just let it flow. The outline will be very helpful in keeping you to the point and not let you drift off the subject.

In this report we have covered a great deal of information. Ways to use writing articles to your advantage. I hope I have been able to help you in any way. Until my next report havew a Great Day.

To the big corporations and the home computer wireless networks everyone needs some kind of protection and they are willing to pay for it. Just storing data with safe and secure methods is a big concern. Lots of opportunity available for companies designing new and safer and more secure ways of keeping data will be needed for years.

Programmers lining up to create the next big success like YouTube billion dollar sale to Google. They all have dollar signs in their eyes.

Yet others have another idea what if we could build a social network of hundreds of thousands of people and share the revenue with the members. What if the social network could be Free to join and use? What if they paid out the revenue from the advertising to its members like a multilevel marketing company would?

There are a number of companies starting up that are growing by thousands of people every day. Here is one that is free and is sharing 80% of the revenue with the membership. Social Networking.
