Strange Article Question

by keblack
4 replies
Hi,

This is probably a weird and maybe crazy article question that may not have ever been asked before here, but I'll ask anyways:

If you hire someone to write an article for you and it is 750 or 1,000 words or so, any ideas on how to request the article be written, so that, the final article can be broken down into two articles (rewritten by hand) and submitted to article directories like ezinearticles ?

I was thinking of asking for 7 tips on this or that and then breaking that down into two articles of 3 and 4 tips and submitting to two different big league article sources like ezinearticles and isnare.com or buzzle.com.

Any ideas on how this could be done. One of the reasons is to save time writing and one is to save money having articles written.

Thanks.

    This is very easy to do, but there is one thing you need to know. You can't
    submit two part articles to Ezine Articles.

    So, if you take an article that's "7 Tips On..."

    What you do is change the title to "4 Tips On..."

    And then after the 4th tip, for your resource box, you would write something
    like this.

    "For more information, visit my site at <URL>"

    Now, if you want to get them excited about actually going to your site,
    the above isn't going to cut it. You need something like...

    "Sick of <problem>? Want more info on <problem>? Visit my site at <URL>
    and <resolve problem>"

    That should do it.

      VERY good idea.....I like it. Don't just leave them wanting more, give them a place to go and get more and a provide the way to it.

    Just tell your writer that that's what you want. They shouldn't have a problem writing it that way.

    Thanks Steven. No, I wasn't going to post a 2 part article at one directory - I was thinking of making two articles out of one and posting one each at ezinearticles and buzzle or somewhere else. Thanks for the signature info, but I guess I would also indicate my name and what I do first and then the statement ?

      Nobody cares about who you are. They care about what you can do for
      them.

      Too many article writers make the mistake of having bios like...

      "John Doe is a <fill in blank> and he's <done whatever> and you can find
      his site at <URL>."

      Nobody cares. They care about WIIFM.

      A good resource box, IMO, is something like this.

      The example is for an acne cure.

      "Sick of battling chronic acne? Want to get rid of those zits for good?
      Visit my site at <URL> and get my FREE report on how to cure your acne
      naturally."

      That's what people want...a solution to their problem. They don't care
      if you're a freakin Nobel prize winner.

      Got it?

    If you have the article written then why not just make a copy slap it into notepad and change all 7 tips to read differently ..

    For Example - Original Tip
    Tip1: Design a unique site that will promote each separate product that you are marketing. It is bad practice to place all products together just to save some money on website hosting. It is in your best interest to have a website that focuses on each individual product that is used for affiliate marketing.
    Re-written Tip
    Tip1: Create a custom website to market each product separately. Building a website specifically for that product that you are marketing will give you a better advantage when it comes to seo and targeted traffic. Keeping focused on one product or one type of product can greatly increase the response rate from your possible customers.
    You see they both mean the same thing, only written differently. While you replace the tips with new tips also replace the title with a new title. You should not be scared to write these differences yourself.

    You paid for one article and from there created several, it's really that simple.
