Hey Warriors,
I just sent out a free video to my list and it has received great feedback, so I thought I would share it here with all of you. It is all content and motivation. No pitch and does not even mention my site or any other. I hope you enjoy... Thanks, Shannon |

Shannon,
A well timed message as I have been feeling rather worthless today. I know I can do it, but sometimes that hill seems like a mountain. By the way, that song is awesome!!! One of my favorites! Lucinda |

Thanks everyone.
I appreciate the replies. I actually really like watching videos and enjoy doing them. If you apply what I talked about in the video you will see increased click troughs. Shannon |

Very inspirational post! I've been doing it like this for a long time, and it does work, I know for a fact, because I do it.
So everyone that's not doing, do it. Oh, and don't forget to watch Shannon's video.

Hi,
This advice is 100% true. One of my articles got approved yesterday at EZA.com in which I have used this technique. So far I have got 19 views and 9 URL click that's almost 50% CTR. This works... |

Dude, you're playing Casting Crowns on your PC! "Voice of Truth"! Awesome! I'm going to go see them on their Christmas tour on Dec. 1st. It's gonna be awesome! It'll be my second time to see them live. Last time was when they were with SCC. |

Hi Shannon
I like that tip! I'm always trying various methods of improving my resource box. Anothetr way I'm thinking of doing one of my articles is to use a 10 tip article. I already have a few, in addition to 5 tips, 7 tips, 3 steps etc. In the next one though I'm thinking of making my 10th tip as the resource box and then provide only a couple of words and write 'read the rest of it ... (link)'. Mary |

Thanks for the tip! I'm just getting started in AM. I have several articles written, but I haven't submitted any of them yet. All of the resource boxes are written EXACTLY the way you described as the wrong way!
I'm going back and changing all of them before I submit!

Shannon,
Fantastic video and great advice all round. Like you were speaking my mind the whole time. Great going Shannon and greetings to your supportive other half, people like her are so rare they should have an award day ceremony dedicated to them... "This year's greatest supportive spouse is... Mrs. Herod?" Seriously, once again, fantastic video, please don't stop by sharing it with your list and with us warriors, take this to everywhere it can be shared, I will do my bit and share it too both on and offline whenever possible. Best of luck.. And just some creative production advice... some good extro music would have been Leann Rimes "We can" ... for next time, OK? ![]() Cheers, Kunle Olomofe |

Right on Bro! Good stuff there and you cannot beat the Casting Crowns. It is sad to think that so many give up right before the dream is realized. I am sure your encouragement has helped many.

Yes, Casting Crowns is a Christian group. (Though I wouldn't call them soft gospel. :P More like Contemporary Christian.)

Nice Video. I am ready to write some article. I know that making sure you are helping people will eventually have them helping you. So make your articles have good useful content and offer more good content in your link.

If you notice the picture in the right hand corner... That is a signed Alstott picture. Next to that is a signed Lynch picture from the Super Bowl. I could go on and on. I am a huge Buccaneer fan. My wife was just commenting about my obsession today. I am now up to 12 Buccaneer jerseys. I can almost wear a Buccaneer jersey for 2 weeks straight. Any way this is way off topic so I will shut up already. ![]() Shannon |

Hey Shannon, excellent advice. I have a question. When changing the content of the resource box do you have to go back and resubmit the article?
I ask because I just changed my default blurb to test. Then I pulled up an article associated with the default box and it was the old content not the amended. I'm hoping it takes some time before the new stuff shows up, otherwise I'd need to pull all my articles and resubmit, which these days is taking longer and longer. Thanks. |

If you want to change an already submitted article you would have to resubmit it. I would advise against that. If you are getting traffic from that article from the search engines you run the risk of losing that traffic. I would just start applying what you learned to all your future articles. Regards, Shannon | |

And I really couldn't tell you what kind of horse he is, my mom got him from an Equine rescue and I'm not sure she even knows what he is. Haha! All she says is he's a buckskin. Which I'm fairly certain (I really don't know horses) that's talking about his color. But you know, he's a good boy. He was just trying to find a way out of the fence to go trot with the neighbors horses. :P And what did your cow do yesterday? | |
