Use Videos to Properly Outsource Article Writing and Copywriting
Hi Robert
Thats's an original and creative way to brief your writers. I can see how it would stimulate originality in their work. Thanks for the ideas.

Great advice!

All You Need is One Marketing Success Every Day
Sounds good Jayden. Even if you don't know what you're doing yet, putting 100% into one project one week and 100% into the next project the next week will be a lot easier to maintain rather than juggling a bunch of projects at once.
Even if you're just starting out, and supporting yourself through freelancing, why not spend all day every day freelancing and JUST dedicated Fridays or JUST dedicate weekends towards building your own business?Posted 14th January 2009 at 03:41 PM by Robert Plank -
Re-Train Your E-Mail Subscribers
Thanks David! I know... it feels good like you are pleasing everyone when you launch a $7 product and get lots of sales. Then when you launch the $47 and $97 stuff and get a lot less sales (but almost the same profits) and some of those low ticket buyers e-mail you and complain and you feel like "the bad guy."
But those $47/$97 and up customers are WAY more pleasant to deal with... less aggravating and they actually take advice and get stuff accomplished.Posted 14th January 2009 at 12:21 PM by Robert Plank -
Re-Train Your E-Mail Subscribers
Thanks Robert.. You just confirmed something I was afraid of... now I know what price range to offer:
the price is based on what they were "trained" to expect from me.
all of this makes perfect marketing sense
I can't believe I didn't figure this one out myself
no matter, you brought out the obvious and helped me make a profit (again... not the first time you helped me make money)Posted 13th January 2009 at 09:28 PM by David -

All You Need is One Marketing Success Every Day
Focusing on one task at a time is a planned approach to marketing on the Internet. The 'one step at a time' approach is surely positive. Being an Internet marketer takes practice while learning the ropes bit by bit and slowly building your profile. Being proactive - going ahead and posting your work in the way of articles, forum posts, etc. instead of waiting of work is definitely a good start. However, how long this will take to start a steady income is a situational aspect yet to be assessed.Posted 23rd December 2008 at 10:30 AM by jayden.fellze -
Build Up a Mailing List by Attracting Web Traffic
Great article! I've been told to post as little as 3 or as much as 5 post in 5 forums per day. I've notice that when I post 2 out of the possible 5 in one forum, the I'm at a lost for what to write about. Suggestion! I'm posting in forums where I want to become a authority!Posted 22nd December 2008 at 05:37 PM by moneycometh -
Gain Instant Rapport by Establishing Yourself As An Authority on Any Subject
I think it was Earl Nightingale that said that anyone could become an expert on any subject in less than 2 years. Thanks for the video.Posted 18th December 2008 at 01:55 PM by Ldimilo -
Why a "No Help" Desk Will Probably Hurt Your Sales
Yep email is much more personal, and sometimes I've replied to emails so quickly (because Gmail makes it super easy) that once or twice the guy said "I thought this was an autoresponse at first, the reply came back so quickly" :-)Posted 16th December 2008 at 12:12 PM by Robert Plank -
Build Up a Mailing List by Attracting Web Traffic
Phil:
AdWords is automatic once you have a campaign setup (until you need to tweak it or something knocks you down the ladder)
I have blogging and article marketing pretty much automated, I crank out a bunch of content at once and schedule it for later.
I have a big pile of draft articles always sitting in my EzineArticles account, takes me 30 seconds a day to go in and approve the latest.
Got videos posting to video sites and social networking on a timer (Traffic Geyser) and blog posts scheduled, plus autoresponder emails scheduled as well send traffic to the blog from my list.Posted 16th December 2008 at 12:10 PM by Robert Plank -
Create a Product in 55 Seconds For Free
Yep, PLR is another good way to whip up a quick report, even though some PLR sucks and it's aggravating to edit all that crappy content.
The best point you just made about PLR is differentiating yourself. 95% of PLR buyers (your competition) are too lazy to change the content in any way.
So by packaging it nicer with clipart, adding your own personality, sprucing up the copy, adding audio or video, etc is a great way to be different and doesn't take very long at all.Posted 16th December 2008 at 12:07 PM by Robert Plank -
Create a Product in 55 Seconds For Free
Another way to create a free report
Great suggestion Robert! Here's another method I use that works like crazy:
Pick your niche and do a Google search for private label rights articles in that niche (e.g. dog traning PLR articles).
For those who don't know what PLR articles are, they are articles someone writes, then gives you permission to put your name on them as if you wrote them. Pretty sweet, huh?
These articles are usually 400-800 words, which is about 5 or so paragraphs. Take about 5-10 of the articles and combine them together using your favorite word processor.
Then, go back and change the title of each article and make it a catchy chapter title.
Edit each article (which is now a chapter in an ebook) to change things around a bit and add your own personality along with something currently going on in that niche.
Find some free clip art on the Internet that would catch someones eye who's interested in that topic, add an ebook title and your name as the author (all can be done in your word processor as well) and (drum roll...)
Voila! Instant free report! You'll want to convert it to a .pdf file (portable document format) so everyone can read it on their computer no matter what operating system they use.
The first time you do this it will take a few hours, but with a little practice you can crank one of these free reports out in about 20 minutes or so.
Hope it helps!
