Excellent post - I've read nearly every article marketing product available and very few go into creating titles in this much detail.

I put an hour or two aside every so often just to create a list of article titles and it really pays off. I haven't noticed any difference in my CTR since the Adsense changes and I believe it's because a good enough title will whet the readers appetite enough to really want to read your article (and hopefully ignore the Adsense ads).

Tim,

Words from the Master. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the power of a good headline for Ezinearticles.com articles. Newbies looking into article marketing should definitely read this thread.

Its a shame to see a great article topped with a boring title.

Hi Tim,

As always, you hit the nail on the head with a golden hammer.

Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

All The Best,


Tony

I've been marketing with articles for years and Tim definitely knows what he is talking about. Great post brother.

RoD

hoop! this is great. Thanks

Wow... great contributions from both Tim and Steven. Seeing that the two gurus are here on this forum, I'd like to ask a in my opinion, key question about EZA/article marketing.

Question is: What is the main source of traffic to your EZA articles? Google search? Let me open it up a bit because it's been on my head for some time now.

Suppose I wrote an article on Forex trading and my keyword is "top ten secrets about forex trading", which has low Google competition and nice daily search etc. (I made it up, don't look it up)

Aside from the time it gets on the front page of EZA, what will cause my article to be viewed by someone?

When someone searches for "top ten secrets about forex trading", no doubt EZA will be on the first page of Google, but surely there are tons of different EZA articles with that keyword, so no one is going to find your article unless you succeed to make that article rank as the first article Google would display from EZA, right?

If your article ranks 3rd on EZA (in the eyes of Google) - then it won't be displayed, and will be lost forever in the Internet space?

Those are some great tips you guys have on titles and summaries. But how do we get people to see those titles in the first place, that is my question.

Thanks a lot!

Tim,

Like someone said above, informative threads like this are becoming too few and far between! So far you have really added some value (you too Steven) and here's why...

Article marketing changes all the time, as you well know. And what is working right now...today...is what so many have gotten away from over the years - and what those who have had lasting and consistent success already know.

Quality, original content.

As you know, I sit down and study article stats every single day, and I am seeing, more and more, that the article which do not provide at least SOME information about the topic are not ranking in the search engines anymore. I don't know how they figured it out, but they are slpping the typical "I'm gonna get backlinks from this" article.

On the other hand, articles that are well-written, well formatted, and contain some quality originally-written INFORMATION about the topic are being ranked well - especially if they have pictures or video in them (where allowed). Everyone reading this post knows the difference between these two kinds of articles...and you'd better stop writing the former if you still are because, frankly, you are wasting your time.

Anyhow, back on topic...

With the ever-changing, almost infinite amount of variable that stoically meander across the article marketing dance floor, you should really invest a little time into researching your article stats on a somewhat regular basis. The smallest tweak in your article title, summary or any of the other parts of an article this thread is discussing can make a huge difference in your bottom line.

Listen to what Tim says. He has tons of experience and great statistical resources. Great job Tim.

Respectfully,
Allen Graves

Just read the "Summary" post.

I just wanted to add that although directories do not post your summary on the article page - but that doesn't mean it is not important at those directories.

Some of them use the summary in their RSS feeds, some of them use it on the category page.

Here's a quick tip - One of the things I like to do (where allowed) is create a numbered list or use special characters or bolding within the summary in an effort to grab the "page scanner's" attention. These can really stop a person's eyes if they are scanning a category page!

Allen

I have noticed that you can achieve a much higher CTR when you include the word FREE in your resource box.

Gunter

Another important thing to consider is testing your resource boxes. If you're using the same one over and over again, you're leaving money on the table right there.

In a way, your resource box is like your headline on the bottom. Try different formatting, use different approaches, have FUN with them (don't be afraid to be daring - the last thing we need is hundreds more freakin' boring articles.)

I love article marketing. I love reading articles. But a lot of people are just so boring. And maybe boring works - it hasn't for me. I'm happy with my 36% clickthrough rate on some articles, so what can I say?

Just wanted to post, I saved this post in pdf format for anyone interested.

Mary

Waiting patiently for Tim's next installment.

Thanks Rod, and Tim, jeez you're embarrassing me!

I don't have the kind of personality that craves the spotlight. For nearly a decade, I've always been happier to quietly do my own thing and deposit the checks.

But I've been watching this whole 'Bum Marketing' thing for quite a while now, and I see it derailing so many people (myself included) that it seemed worthwhile to poke my head out of the sand for a few months and try to show people a better way.

I've had the good fortune of earning a decent amount of money online in a number of completely unrelated ways. But in between switching money making tactics, my income would often drop to near zero.

I finally realized that I was building money-makers, instead of a building a BUSINESS. That distinction is crucial.

And while many in various other aspects of internet marketing have come to understand this (especially the PPC guys), it seems to be a near unknown in the Article Marketing world.

I want to change that. It's worth the potential slings and arrows to me if I can help a few people change course and find success because of a simple shift in mindset and approach.

Bum Marketing is a money making method. As a business building method, it falls apart.

Why?

1. Bum Marketing scatters your marketing efforts
2. Bum Marketing prevents you from putting all of your focus and expertise into one place
3. Bum Marketing creates confusion in the marketplace
4. Bum Marketing prevents you from becoming a trusted source in any one single niche

I've often heard it said that "you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket", and there are those who may argue that focusing on a single site would mean doing exactly that.

But what almost everyone misses is that "putting all your eggs in one basket" does NOT refer to how many sites you own.

It has everything to do with how many traffic sources you have.

If you have one site that brings in traffic from hundreds and hundreds of sources each month, and one month you lose 5 of them, what have you really lost?

You probably won't even notice the difference in traffic, because while you lost those 5 traffic sources, your continuous work in your niche has created 10 new ones.

I have no desire to re-hash the "mechanics" of article marketing. Guys like Tim, Steven and Josh Spaulding do a phenomenal job of teaching those things. What Tim is offering in this thread is pure gold folks. Listen to everything he has to say, and more importantly - take action on it!!!

What I want to do is open people eyes to the possibilities of using those solid, time tested article marketing methods, and re-focus their efforts into building a business entity that not only creates an income over the long term, but actually becomes the kind of tangible asset that can be sold at any given point in time for a large lump sum, giving you the freedom to pursue new interests in life.

This is the way of the offline business world, and like it or not, as the net matures we are inevitably being pulled in that direction as well. The opportunity here is simply HUGE for those who can see it right now. And that's important because, like everything else in life, the competition will get tougher and smarter, and it will be more difficult to become successful as the years go by.

Want to see a handyman who has spent years doing nothing but writing do-it-yourself articles and offering up free information in order to become the dominant player in his niche?

Check out Ask the Builder - The Home Improvement Resource.

Last time I checked, his income was well over $50,000 a month. And he's still a one-man operation.

This is the power of laser-like focus over the long haul.

Mike,
I could be wrong but it looks like you might be the first to tackle the mental issue and business building aspect associated with article marketing and how to dominate it by completely dominating niches one at a time.

Love this build-a-business approach as it was a hot topic in another thread on this forum. Thanks for another well thought out post.

In case anyone is wondering, I'm working on the 4th part of this 5-part series and it covers the construction of the actual content for the article body....won't be too much longer before I post it here.

Lloyd,
I try and make my postings informative and entertaining. I think it enhances the readers experience.

Take a look at my comments on other article marketers in this thread - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ting-info.html

Tim

I thought I would throw out one more site to give you an idea of the power of long-term focus on ONE single market or niche.

Tim Carter of Ask the Builder is fairly well known in internet marketing circles, but I have someone here you have likely never heard of, quietly making $25,000 a month (mostly through Amazon) in a niche she was told was "impossible" to make money in.

California Camping, Cheap California Weekends, CA Outdoors

Online since October 1996, Dana Williams has carved out a niche for herself online in a way that AAA and Sunset Magazine are still unable to do. (In fact, I have heard rumors that BOTH have tried to buy her out in recent years.)

She, like Tim Carter, is a one-person operation, doing what she loves, building an incredible resource for those who like to travel off California's beaten path, and making a healthy, consistent income doing it. This has been making her a full-time income for almost 8 years now.

Do you see the difference between sites like these, and and throwing up a bunch of affiliate links on a 2 page site, then moving to the next one?

It took Dana, Tim Carter, and my friend Gary, many, many years to get where they are. That amount of time can be shortened rather dramatically by using article marketing as the initial catalyst for your content creation, distribution and traffic.

From there, you simply leverage all the content you have created, and power it into a vast site or blog resource, smartly monetized, and built with incoming traffic from hundreds to thousands of sources.

It still won't happen overnight, but it won't take you the years that it took the pioneers before you.

This is the power of article marketing, leverage and content. Take the process that Tim is teaching you here, and apply it to ONE single market or niche. Then work that niche each and every day.

Soon, you will have built the walls of a business that no one can tear down.

Not your competitors.

Not Google.

Not changes in the direction of the internet over time.

Ever thought you could build an online presence that would last long enough to hand down to your kids?

You can.

All it requires you to do is to get off of the endless IM merry-go-round, takes Tim's advice, and go build ONE THING that is substantial and worthwhile.

Mike,
How many of these case studies do you have? Tim Carter I was well aware of but this latest example (Dana) blows my mind away. $25,000 a month from any online business but with Amazon is pretty darn incredible seeing as how I've always heard it was hard to generate income with thier program.

Where do you find these folks or is that secret material?

Tim

Wow. This thread is worth more than most of the high end guru courses available. I'm glad to hear some discussion about quality and building a niche over the long haul. Thank you all for sharing.

Wow! Again. I second Steve's opinion of the quality of this thread.
Great contribution guys.

Dr. Mani, I'm humbled by your kind words. Thank you.

You are one of the few people in this industry (along with Tim) that will cause me to drop everything I'm doing and listen to what you have to say.

I'm grateful that you found everyone's contributions in this thread helpful. I think what I may enjoy the most about this thread and a couple others like it, is that the people involved are people I know to be good, honest, ethical marketers with a long term plan, and a burning desire to truly help as many people as possible.

People first, profits second.

I wish there could be more of this in internet marketing. It might persuade me to become a little more visible over the long term.

Thank you once again...
~Mike

Wow, I'd never realized how important titles were!

This is why I come to this forum! Thank you to Tim, Steve and Mike for giving us a sort of round table seminar on article marketing - great to have so many perspectives from those who know.

I hope that this thread serves as an example for future threads - and as Dr. Mani stated, the motto should be to GIVE value or another way of saying over deliver - some would call that going the extra mile

I am inspired!

Awesome research Tim! I have been a customer of Tim, Steven and recently Mike's Article Bully! I am awaiting Tim's Article Soldiers. But this "AM Visitor superiority" report series is just awesome and a great contribution to article marketing community! This breakdown of articles for content marketing based on the Visitors emotional triggers visually will look like an heatmap for an article just like the adsense heatmap or the google serps heatmap created by the stompernet

I one day dreamt that if ezinearticles could do a study on visitors attention on screen's realestate and plot these datas onto an heatmap of all their millions of articles, come to an assertation in the form of heatmap that is superposement of millions of articles. But i know that would never happen

But nothing beats an insider information from an experienced article marketer that is successful! I really treasure this information and going to apply what i learnt and awaiting 2 more of the reports.

Thanks.

Esh

Wow, I just found this series and read it in its entirety, taking lots of copy and paste notes to create my own "digest" version of it for review. Thank you so much, Tim, Steve, Dr. Mani, and Mike for all this great info!

About the WTF titles... I experimented with parody once... After many articles on how to relieve stress, i wrote one on how to increase stress and achieve that heart attack in record time, and it kind of flopped, comparatively speaking at least. I had the feeling that a lot of people didn't get it, or were appalled at my "apparent" change of direction, or something... They didn't realize it was meant to be a parody. Ouch.

So in the foreseeable future, I will be very cautious with titles that aren't pretty much promising what's going to happen -- in a relatively direct way. Tricky territory, that.

Thanks so much.

Elisabeth

Well, it took a bit of time but I was finally able to get Part 4 of this 5 part series on winning the battle for visitor superiority posted. To recap, we've covered the article title, the article summary and the article keywords. In this section I will begin to cover the actual content contained within the article body itself. I expect that this section will be covered over several postings with today being the first.

When it comes to crafting a quality article that will keep your reader engaged there are a few general rules I like to follow:

1 - You need to make sure that your article content matches the title of your article or provides the information that is promised in your article title. This is something that Ezinearticles.com and many other directories take rather seriously with EZA being the toughest enforcer of this general rule of thumb.

2 - You need to make sure your article matches the mood of your article title. If you recall, we talked about several different article titles in Part 1 of this series. They included the "How To", the "Numbered Sequence", the "Panning for Gold", the "Shock and Awe", the "Do You Know What I Know" and the "in Your Face' article titles. Additionally, Steven provided some outstanding thoughts on the "WTF" title.

So with that many different flavors for a title to choose from it would only make sense that you craft your article around the specific title version you have selected for your article. This is extremely important because a "Shock and Awe" article will not work with a "How To" titled article and it stands to reason that a "WTF" titled article will be a complete letdown for the reader if the article is a mundane article with little to know excitement or shock value contained in the article body.

3 - Article length is another subject that comes up quite often and depending on which author or article marketer you listen to there will be a few minor differences in their suggested length. For me personally, I like to stick within these parameters: a minimum word count of 350 words and a maximum count of about 500 words. I use these minimum and maximum word counts as a guide so there is always a possibility I may go over 500 words but rarely do I ever drop below 350 words.

I've recently noticed that many authors are now knocking out articles at an alarming rate with the articles having just above 250 words. Although shorter articles are quicker and perhaps easier to write I personally don't believe this is a good practice to start following. Many of the shorter articles that I have seen barely began to provide any information that would have led me to want to click on the resource box to the author's website.

Speaking of resource boxes, I was recently asked the question of whether or not I felt that writing a short 250 word article combined with a 300 word resource box was a good idea. My response was that I felt it was a bad idea and that this was something I would avoid doing for several reasons:

1 - 250 words barely allows you the opportunity to get your keyword phrase in the article along with any additional complementing keywords.

2 - How much can really be said in a 250 word article that will keep the reader engaged to read the resource box?

3 - Most people can barely create a compelling resource box that will get a click through to their website. Adding additional words will only make this process worse instead of actually helping the author.

4 - Ezinearticles.com won't allow it. Here is what they have to say in their own words on the EZA website - "We would like to help you get this article approved but there is an issue which needs to be resolved first. Your resource box is longer than we recommend. Please keep the size of your resource box so that it's no larger than 15% of your total article size and resubmit it for Editorial Review".

Based on that information above if your article is only 250 words then they will allow a resource box that is around 37 words long. On this particular point if anyone has a different view or insider knowledge that can provide more insight then please by all means share it with the group.

My reasoning behind avoiding articles that are longer than 500 words is based around the difficulty in writing a longer article, the expected ROI for your writing and the attention span of the average reader.

Let's start with the difficulty in writing longer articles. First and foremost, you must understand that the longer your article is the more words you will need to draw upon from your vocabulary in order to make your article appealing to the reader in order to keep them engaged from the start of the article until the end of the article and start of your resource box.

How many times have you read in this very forum postings asking for advice on how to write an article or people sharing their frustrations at writing articles. There is no doubt in my mind that someone who is just getting started with article marketing will have a much easier time writing a shorter 350 - 500 word article when compared to attempting to write 700+ word articles on a daily basis. Now, with that said, as you become more proficient in writing and your skills and knowledge improve perhaps you may want to experiment with longer articles but until such time stick to writing shorter (but not to short) articles.

Another reason why I prefer to stick with shorter articles that are 350-500 words in length is because I personally feel I get more bang for my buck (better ROI) from smaller articles. Instead of writing one 700 word article and posting it to Ezinearticles.com why not write 2 articles that are 350 words in length and submit them to the article directories allowing you the opportunity for at a minimum double the exposure from the same number of words.
Additionally, you have the opportunity to use two completely different article titles (containing your selected keyword phrase) allowing you more opportunities to rank in the search engines. Trust me; nothing stinks more than writing a lengthy article only to see it bomb in the search engines because your title sucks!!

The main reason why I personally avoid writing and submitting longer articles is based on what I call the outside competition factor. What I mean by this is the fact that we are always in a constant struggle against outside forces for the attention of our readers.

For example, if a mother finds your 700 word article while conducting a search on the Internet and starts reading it but before she can finish her baby son or daughter starts crying chances are good she will click off your article and go take care of her child. On the other hand, if your article is only 350 words there is a much better chance (higher percentage) she will have finished your article and hopefully have clicked through the link in your resource box landing on your site before being called away by her child.

What other factors can interfere with someone trying to finish your article (remember you are competing for the reader's attention against outside factors)? How about a phone call, someone coming home from work, the doorbell ringing, friends or visitors coming over, the dog needing to go out, the stove going off, the washing machine or dryer stopping...etc . All of these outside influences can derail your reader from making it to your website if they are stuck trying to read a long article.

Finally, you have what I have termed as the human nature factor (HNF) which becomes more apparent with longer articles. Generally most people are skimmers when it comes to reading. That is they skim from headline to headline, sub-heading to sub-heading and paragraph to paragraph.

By having a shorter article you give the reader the opportunity to quickly skim your article to see if it appeals to them and you almost force them into your resource box where you snag them into your funnel to your website. The HNF is minimized in this example, but when a longer article is found by the visitor the human nature factor kicks into high gear because when someone sees a long article generally what they really want to do is perform a very quick scan (quicker than with a shorter article) and ultimately decide that this article is not for them and depart to go find a shorter article that meets their needs.

Also, you have to realize that even while readers are using their eyes to scan and then focus on specific keyword phrases within your article chances are good that their hand is using the mouse to scroll down the article because it is prepping the brain and eyes to find the next keyword phrase of interest. For that reason I prefer they quickly find my resource box instead of several more paragraphs of information which could lose their interest.

Here is another idea I group in this human nature factor and it revolves around the law of diminishing returns. If you can buy one cheeseburger for $2 or buy 3 cheeseburgers for $5 than in most cases you will buy the 3 cheeseburgers because it seems like a good deal and it is, for the seller of the cheeseburgers.

Here's why, the reality is the first cheeseburger will taste great, the second cheeseburger will taste ok and the third cheeseburger may not taste good at all because you may be full, feel bloated or be sick of cheeseburgers. In this case there is a strong probability that one cheeseburger may have hit the spot and you would have only spent $2 and I'm more than willing to bet that 2 cheeseburgers would definitely fill you up and only cost you $4.

In both cases you save money (either $3 or $1) and you're not sick of cheeseburgers. Unfortunately, your brain felt that purchasing 3 cheeseburgers was the best thing to do because the overall cost of each individual cheeseburger is cheaper when you purchase 3 instead of 1 or 2 even though you really can't stomach eating more then 1 or 2 cheeseburgers. So ultimately, you end up wasting money when you felt like you were being smart and saving money.

What does this have to do with article length? Plenty, why force feed your reader 7 paragraphs of information when you can accomplish your objective (getting them to your website) using 3 to 5 paragraphs - A crude example at best I know, but I think you get the picture.

I know that the mere subject of article length is sometimes a hotly debated issue and that many might disagree with my own interpretations so please remember these thoughts are based off what I have seen and experienced over the last few years with my own article marketing efforts.

I'll close with a few more final thoughts regarding article length:

1 - Try and cover your topic in 350 - 500 words but if you feel you must go higher than that is a judgment call you will have to make and experiment with.

2 - No matter how long your article is nobody will read the second paragraph if the first paragraph stinks so make sure you provide quality content from start to finish.

3 - The whole point of your article is to give the reader a chance to click the link in your resource box - Shorter articles give them the opportunity to make the click at a higher rate than longer articles.

4 - Retention rate is everything, don't take a chance of losing it with an article that is a novel and instead stick to a short story.

5 - And this may be the most important point in regards to article length. I look to see what the readers are telling us in terms of what they want. What I mean by this is take a few minutes to go visit Ezinearticles.com and click on the most viewed articles in the last 90 days in your niche and see how long the articles are. In most cases I find these articles (the most viewed in the last 90 days) to be between 350 - 500 words long. On the other hand, the most published articles tend to be longer in length, just some food for thought.

More to follow......

Thanks,
Tim

Wow, this is a fabulous thread. I am learning a lot.

THanks to Tim and everyone who has contributed.

May

I keep coming back to this thread, Tim! Your insight so much appreciated and your selfless way of sharing is off the charts.

Marketers, take note! This is a lesson is an example in building relationship for a long term business. I know I needed the lesson!

Thanks again, to Tim and Mike, Steven and Dr. Mani.

I too was wondering what happened to your posts, Tim.

I have my theories.

Allen

It happens.

Posts get moved. When it happens to mine, I usually delete them and put them on my blog. More people can read it there than in a self-improvement forum. LOL

Allen

I subscribed, too, so that is why I kept up.

Well, Tim, maybe it is time for you to get a blog going for this kind of thing - I know you'd have an army (no pun intended) of subscribers. Sad that it got bumped and I am too new and naive to even guess why.

BTW, I have been tweeting it, if that helps.

(edit: I found the blog (duh!) )

This is outstanding information! Thank you TimG, Steven Wagenheim, Mike Long, and Dr. Mani and all others who have and will continue to post in this thread. You folks have made some excellent contributions. I only happened to discover this great post by being on the good doctor's mailing list - so special thanks to you.

This is worth printing out and reading a few times. I've purchased materials from Steven in the past and found terrific content. The other day I bought Mike Long's course and it's fabulous. Mike's a great guy too. Sent him a question and received back a page long personalized reply. What a guy! Dr. Mani's stuff is first rate too. And now I've "met" Tim and signed up to his list too. Very cool!

Yes... I do feel blessed today.

Steven,
Putting everything else aside, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

Respectfully,
Tim

@Steven - my thoughts and prayers are with you... Thanks for sharing your heart and a double thanks for being able to get back into the saddle with such concise instruction and advice on article writing. You are a true pro!

As to the thread move, I just keep pointing folks here. Too good to miss!

This is fantastic information. Many thanks to all of you for contributing such good tactics to follow. Obviously a special thanks to Tim for his willingness to spend his time and contribute his knowledge to get this started. Get info for us newbies and not-so-newbies to follow. I heard about it on the TIMIC forum and certainly glad I did.

Thank you, Tim et al.

Hilary

Steven does provide some good reasons as to why the thread was moved but the only issue I have with the logic behind it is the fact that there are several threads in the main forum that have thousands of views and replies that have not been moved so that does cloud the actual reason behind such a move. Also it still doesn't explain why I had 2 replies deleted that were adding some additional information based on what Dr. mani had posted.

At any rate, I hope to have the next posting in this series up shortly.

Tim

This was an excellent considering I just started using EZA. i will definitely implement some or all of these strategies. Amazingly you weighted the body(15%), but if you don't attract them to read your articles in the first then it really does not matter what the actual article is about. Thank you very much.

good article, appreciate it!

Gentlemen, THANK YOU very much for this.
Subscribed!
I have learned more in this one thread than several days of following this forum.

I've got a whole new perspective on sticking to ONE niche and a completely new understanding of how important article marketing is.

So again, THANKS.

Er... Gordy? Anyone who is interested in a chess set already knows how to play and doesn't need to be told what pawns are or that the game is lost when the king is lost

Great info One of the first posts I have read and I am amazed at how much you know & share. Thanks

And to take that to an additional level, don't forget that all of that great content can be recorded and turned into podcasts!

Create a weekly audio magazine in your niche and sell subscriptions. Notify your list and send them to a link where they can hear your audio to explain a concept in more detail.

Bring your article to life by turning it into a Camtasia video and giving your subscribers or customers yet another way to learn what you are trying to teach them....then post them to places like YouTube.

Never forget how powerful and flexible your content can be. It's your ultimate leverage in this business. Use it to its fullest!

WOW! The REAL reality, as it really is!

Why it it so hard to find?

Perhaps the Warriors or someone should start an absolute honest rating system based on not less than say 5-7 independent expert reviews, or similar.

Anyone from newbie to advanced would benefit, knowing that ONLY quality
training is provided that, with work, works. Thus buying real value becomes a reality too.

Bizop anyone?

Thanks to all for this valuable insight

Lee

All I can say right now is, stay tuned....a seminar and mentoring program very similar to that may or may not be in the works.

Shhhhhh........

Fantastic information TimG, Mike, Steven and all other contributors!

Tim - any ETA on "Soldiers"?

[DELETED]

I am curious as to what happened to the bio box portion of this post. It is hands down the most informative piece of information I have ever read on IM, paid or free! I want to thank Tim, Steven, Dr Mani, and all the others who have taken time to share some brilliant information. This information can easily be turned into a WSO and sale very very well!

This has been one of the best Posts I have EVER read in the 3 months I've been a Warrior member. I will add this to my faviourites and keep coming back.

Looking forward to part 5!

[DELETED]

for a newbie, this provides a framework to work in. A model you can follow. But neverthless, it depends on the individual.

No matter what system or plan you buy, it won't suit you coz you are you. There's a point you'll reach where you don't want to buy any products and you won't even be able to go through them bcoz you know most of what's told already. That's how it is for me over 4 years of IM.

You can easily know what Tim's teaching here for free once you reach 500 article submssions. That's what it took for me. I never went about purchasing any article marketing guides or affiliate guides.

If you get your hands on the system, study the program for 1 hour every day. First finish through the complete program with a jorunal in 2-3 days. Repeat one hour every day for 90 days.

Implement the techniques on a regular basis. Work on these for four hours a day. Create five hours free time every day and do it for 90 days. 90 days later, you'll be an article marketing genius.

Transformation's easy...

Tim this is a great thread and I too have been waiting eagerly for part 5. I know that you were a bit dissapointed when this thread got moved from the main forum but please be assured that there are many people here still very interested in what you have to say.

Regards
Steve

Looking forward to Part 5 Tim!

Thanks a lot guys for the awesome info you're giving away for free. This is one of the (if not THE) best threads on WF period.

I need to go get a coffee because I can't pass this thread up! I briefly scrolled through it and I see a lot of amazing tips, truths and information. Some of this valuable information, I had to pay for before coming here. I am going to sit down and start at the beginning and read.

Thank you all so much for sharing your expertise and your experiences with us newbies.
