I am new to both IM and to Warriors. I have learned that article marketing and/or CPA are the quickest way's to begin seeing an ROI. I am tired of spending $ on the same old rehashed crap being sold online. I was forced to retire due to illness and have lost everything. I am on SS and my funds are very limited. I did purchase an ebook detailing how to begin making 'some' $, however little. It entails writing articles and that is where I am stuck. I have more than several ebooks on article marketing but not one gives any details or shows how to actually write an article. ALL of them are just centered on theory. For anyone reading this that has gotten enough out of these ebooks to lead them on to an actual paycheck, my hat's off to you. I have a reading disability and am a verrrry slowwww reader and have much difficulty getting anything out of reading material. I have been recommended Jason Potash's ArticleAnnouncer Course (audio and video) but all the links to his sites come back with an 404 Error msg. Does anyone know of any other course's with audio/video instruction? I am determined to learn how to write articles, if for no other reason, than to generate the 'SEED' money I need to learn IM and affiliate marketing. Can't do it on what I'm getting from SS. Any heads up would be appreciated. Thanks, Alex(swtp43)

    Hi, I'm a newbie myself (about three months). I've written 6 articles. They're at ezinearticles.com. What helped me most was reading other's articles at ezinearticles.com and reading their forum and blog. And it's free! Second thing that helped me was the Directory of Ezines and it's companion newsletter at RealTactics.com. Lots of good advice. The newsletter is free. I'm not an affiliate of any of their product YET, but I will be!

    Google them. I hope this helps as much as it did me. I'm an old retired dog learning new tricks!

      letsmake1, thanks for your response. I have a text to speech software that i use and without it I would be dead in the water. Problem is that many documents are protected and I can't copy and paste them into the program and have them read to me. I understand that there are programs where all need do is point the program to the source doc and it reads it for me. The problem is in there cost. I have not been able to find one for under $130. Do you know of any? You say free, but I can't find any. Thanks, Alex (swtp43)

      sweetrock82, my problem is not in the writing, my problem is in reading any material. I use MSword and or OpenOffice and both have spell check as well as grammar checking. All I have to do is type and before I submit, check my finished text for errors, which I then correct. On top of that, I run it through my Text to Speech which reads it aloud to me. I can then detect even what my word processors miss. I do see the value of a 'Speech to Text' software and how it can enhance anyone's efforts in writing any info products, whether they be articles or ebooks. But that is for down the road when I can afford it. Thanks, for your thoughts though, Alex (swtp43)

    So you need reading glasses? Why not ask a friend who is willing to learn also and let him read it for you so that you both gain. You have the material, he will just read it aloud or you talk than your buddy will write it for you and edit it to correct the sentences.

      I have to agree with C A Perez when he mentioned the Directory Of Ezines. The owner Charlie Page really goes out of his way to help his lifetime members to become successful. He has several free videos detailing how to research and create your own unique articles. He also offers free 1 on 1 coaching via telephone, email, or skype for all lifetime members.

      Charlie has sent several emails to his list stating that lifetime membership will be closing soon but I don't know when exactly, so if you are interested I wouldn't waste too much time before you sign up. If you invest in nothing else, i think you will get the most bang for your buck with Directory Of Ezines.
