Video 2: What tools you need to get started with Article Marketing

Before you get started, you will need to know what topic you will be writing on as well as where and how you will find the content for the articles. You may be one of those people who suffer from a case of "writer's block" and it may keep you from getting started.

That won't be a problem anymore because you'll learn some tips that will allow you to get past this by using private label articles and where to find them.

 

Video 3: How to rewrite PLR (private label rights) articles.

PLR Articles give you a foundation to get over the "writer's block". Finding private label articles isn't hard, however taking the usual factual, dull articles and adding spice to them is more of a challenge.

You see there is a trick to re-writing PLR articles correctly, because while you want to re-use these articles, you will want to write them in a way that it reflects you as the writer as well…but don't worry, you'll learn more about that in the video.

By now, you've come to realize that a good article can be used as a effective pre-selling tool. You'll want to use the article to gain the trust of the reader.

Video 6: Marketing Your Articles

While a lot of your time should be spent on the marketing end, it doesn't need to be a time consuming project.

Submitting your articles to article directories can be very time consuming and there are many sites out there that take articles so you'll want to choose the ones that are most effective. We'll talk about Article Marketer, EzineArticles, ArticleDashboard, and much more.

Learn PHP and SQL Basics Using this Free Ebook

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Due to popular demand I have re-posted this article.  Note the new download location.

If you run a website or blog you need to have a basic understanding of PHP and SQL.  This free ebook is required reading for you.

No I don't think you need to be a programmer writing applications.  You just need general information about how PHP works and the syntax of the language.  This information is extremely important if you run Wordpress as your platform, as wordpress is a PHP based platform.

The author doesn't really HATE PHP as you will quickly find out as you read through this book.  I would consider it on par with the Dummies Guide on PHP and SQL.

I ran across this ebook a while back and want to share it with others.  I am starting my ebook and software store back up at EbookPackageDeals.

I am keeping track of the number of downloads through my eStore Application at the site so just follow the link and register as a user, add the book to your cart and follow the checkout to the end.  Then you will be presented with a download link.  (you must give a legit email address, this keeps down the spam and leechers)  This ebook is in .pdf format and is about 50 pages in length.  Let me know what you think about this book!  If you have any difficulties, just send me an email and I can get the book to you another way.  Give it a read and let me know what you think!
