I. From The Editor

Thank you to everyone who responded to my editorial last month. I genuinely
appreciate your kind words, donations and suggestions. Your support has
encouraged me more than you can imagine.

This month I share the steps I took to create a free, viral e-book with my
articles. To further maximize your success with article marketing, I review a
new e-book called “Article Design Secrets Revealed”.

I am holding a Spring Sale for subscribers who want access to my submission
site list (over 1,500 sites).  This list is updated several times a week
and membership includes several bonuses and content not available to the
public. To take advantage of this special sale click the URL below and scroll
down to the bottom for the buy button.
You will only pay $24.50 for a six month membership (a 50% savings). This sale
will expire on April 30, 2007.

or hire someone to create the cover for you like

You’re almost done! Now you can list your e-book in free or paid e-book
directories, offer it to publishers who will give it away to their
subscribers, list it in web sites that compile free giveaways and list it as a
bonus for your e-zine subscribers and people who purchase your products!
 

III. Feature Review – Article Design Secrets Revealed

This ugly little (28 page) $7.00 e-book is a treasure trove of information on
how to maximize your article marketing efforts. Let’s face it … you spend a
great deal of time
writing and submitting articles. One area we haven’t focused on much is the
use of keywords in your title, body and byline. This e-book will guide you
through the steps to determine this information.

The author covers the essential steps of determining your audience, the
keywords that will attract that audience, designing your article with
keywords, designing your
byline so you get the maximum click-throughs and submitting your articles to
directories.

I spent about a half hour reading this e-book and got several ideas on how to
get more out of my article marketing.  The author even includes a free
piece of software called Article Author Resource Box Automater. This little
gem formats an html resource box with keywords imbedded for you. This is
called “anchor text linking”. However, be
careful; some article directory sites will only allow you to use a plain text
link like
http://www.articlesthatsell.com with no html formatting.

I highly recommend this e-book. You can buy it by clicking the link below:

V. Article Submission Tips & Tricks – Publish Unique Articles On Your
Web Site

Article marketing is a resourceful strategy. It is an efficient way to attract
visitors, increase Search Engine ranking and educate potential customers. Ramp
up your article marketing efforts by publishing unique content on your web
site that readers will not find anywhere else. Use your free reprint articles
to advertise your unique content. More readers will click through your link in
your byline if they are tempted by a promise of something unique and exciting.

Another benefit to publishing unique content on your site is that you can
bypass the rules of the submission sites. You can include links and
advertisements in the body
of the article so long as you are discrete and do not overwhelm your reader
with dozens of ads imbedded in a tiny article. Remember to always offer
top-notch articles
whether or not you distribute them. Don’t damage your reputation by writing
and publishing inferior articles!

  Bonnie Jo Davis

I am a Virtual Assistant providing many services to my clients. My favorite service is article submissions. I submit articles for my clients every day and have been doing so for almost nine years.

This technique worked so well that we put other expensive marketing projects on hold so that my speaker could travel all over the world on paid speaking engagements.

Over time I discovered this amazing technique will work for people who do not consider themselves writers. It will work in print and on-line. It will work if your topic is spirituality, hobbies, family, the internet, marketing, business, etc. You name it, the possibilities are limitless! I went on to make more than 70% of my income by handling article submission projects for other professionals.
