Hi guys. I'm new and trying really hard to learn to article market. But there are a few things I don't like, like writing and not really giving information or writing just to click a link just to go to a sales page or writing to get you to sign up and get on a list.

Okay I know not the makings of an internet marketer! But I just realize people do want information real information as well as how to solve the problem they have. They don't mind buying or going to your site if you give them some real information they can use or feel you know what your talking about and not trying to sell them. People buy from people they trust and respect, liking them is optional. But that's just me. Which brings me to my issue.

I have no clue how to write! Am I writing for sales? Am I writing for me? Am I writing based on what I like and don't like? How am I writing? I do know I'm am writing from the heart and trying to give good information and content. After that I am lost. And let's not talk about the resource box!

So if you can critique my article (have 2 live on EZA now) because I do want to have sales, I do want to have visitors to my site and I do want people to find me as a person of knowledge, trust and respect me as well. But I don't want to be boring or a dictator.

I want a lot don't I?

Okay here is my article as seen on the big E. I already know I should be putting the keyword in the title, but sometimes it just does't sound like it goes with the article topic so I don't do that. But hey I'm here to learn not be closed minded.

How to Brand Yourself So They Will Follow

If MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, and YouTube were network marketers, they would be a perfect example of generating leads based on their brand. You know them, yet they do not advertise on TV or radio or in print, but everyone knows them, talks about them and follows them. Why? Well, one reason could be that these companies took branding seriously and early in their growth, because they did not have a budget to generate leads by paying for advertising.

The products and services from these industry leaders are well known in just about every country and nearly every language on the planet. How did they do it? Can any network marketer brand their products and services like that to generate leads and prospects and get clients? To put it in simple terms, yes. Network marketers can brand their product or service in the same way following a few fundamental things all network marketers can learn about establishing their brand from the big boys and generate leads to grow their business.

Sets you apart from other network marketers in similar fields.

Position yourself clearly in the minds of your down line team.

Focuses your down line on your key marketing message and project credibility.

Allows you to build your organization and team's loyalty to you.

Establishes trust in your leadership with your current organization and even causes your down line team members to follow you into other new ventures.

So, how do you brand yourself to generate leads...and cause others to become a part of your down line and follow you? The fact is that building your brand is a lot easier than you might have imagined. The true prescription to building your own brand is simple and straightforward!

What does that mean? When building the brand of you, it is not a about promoting your fabulous self, your greatness or how highly you think about you. It is something much deeper and more profound then you think you are. The keys to building your own brand for your network marketing organization are leadership, integrity, consistency, and performance. Love or hate Donald Trump, but before he was a shameless reality TV star and notorious self-promoter he remolded, built fabulous buildings, and got investors to lend him money based on his leadership, integrity, consistency and performance. And, he still gets investors and banks to lend him money not because he's a self-promoter or reality star, but because of his leadership, integrity, consistency and performance.

Your ability to succeed at branding your operations is directly connected to your leadership, integrity, consistency, and performance. In network marketing, the majority of people in your business will take on your enthusiasm, work habits, and attitude about the opportunity. However, if you cannot lead haven't integrity, are not consistent and don't perform or follow through, then your enthusiasm will only get you a limited temporary success your downline will fall apart, your business will suffer and your brand will be destroyed.

    Desiree,

    I haven't had a chance to read your article yet, but one thing stands out to me immediately...your paragraphs are too long. Try breaking them up into smaller chunks. Most people are more apt to continue reading if the paragraphs are shorter.

    Also, try to segment your article into natural sections and give them a header.

    And remember, you can tell me what you are selling all day - you can even tell me all about it. But I won't be interested until you tell me WHAT IT WILL DO FOR ME AND MY BUSINESS (or whatever problem I have).

    I will try and get back in here later to critique the content.

    I'm sure there are plenty of other writers reading this thread - any ideas y'all?
