Article writing is one of the most important component in Internet Marketing. Content is king and one of the most direct way of getting content is to write your own article. What happen if we do not have time or we are not willing to spent hours writing content? Thus, I would say finding a good Article Writing Service out there might be worth considerating.
Yes, some of you caught on the trend where everyone is giving out free video tutorials and audio ebooks and all the other senses stimulating, eye ball turning, provocative methods out there. We all heard and seen gurus selling things via Videos and Webinars. At the end of the day, what people is interested in is the content that these people are selling which would (ideally) change their lives. The form may be different i.e. from writing to videos, but the idea is the same.
And after storming though so many ground breaking, totally convincing, head-shaking course and internet products out there, I realized that the cold hard truth is this: Traditional writing is still kicking the ass of many such video rich sites when it comes to making money. Foundation in internet marketing is still going to be your ability to generate content whether it is through your sweat and blood or through your leverage of other people’s time and pain staking effort.
If you are like me who have a lot of cool stunning new trick from some world renown guru and think that you can conquer the online world, you may find yourself with mud on your face as you fall from dream land to reality. If your foundation is not strong and you try to use these tricks that are suppose to give you a leverage, you will get a jaw breaking experience eventually when you realized that the twist is always the effort that you have to put in. There is no short cuts for the short cuts.
For now, if you need a Article Writing Service as you know how killer copy writing make the most difference, you might want to consider this service http://www.99centarticles.com
The World Wide Web has evolved into a more interactive and social-oriented environment that even websites are integrating social relationships with business and marketing goals. A lot of people are into the micro-blogging sensation that Twitter has developed and begun that even internet marketers and other online businessmen and women are starting to use this service as a marketing tool to increase web traffic and overall sales of their products and services. But how does one really make money with twitter, a website that allows you to post anything and everything about you or what goes on around you in just 140 characters and 1-3 sentences?
It’s pretty simple, really. Twitter is, first and foremost, a social networking website that allows you to make friends and build relationships through following one another’s “tweets” or updates. These updates will be displayed, giving you an idea of what your friends and the entire world is up to. Internet marketers use the relationship factor as an advantage to their online businesses. By setting up an account in Twitter, making friends and building relationships, they are slowly but surely making sure that their Twitter pals can trust them and rely on them well enough to become potential customers. This is how they make money with twitter and it has been going on ever since the Twitter hype started.
If you’re an online marketer and want to know how to make money with twitter, here are some useful tips to try:
• Make sure that once you finish making a Twitter account, you begin by posting random updates about yourself or any interest you may have at all. This allows you to give people an idea of who you are as a person and not as an internet marketer alone.
• You can begin following people in Twitter once you’re used to the site and its features. You can follow your friends’ and family’s Twitter updates, and then begin searching for members who may have the same interests as you do. You can also use the search for people who may be looking for products and services that you are presently selling.
• Most likely the people you are following will start following your Twitter updates as well. Once the number of followers begin to grow, it is important that you keep updating everyday to keep them interested and “constantly following”.
• The content of your updates is what keeps your followers interested in you, so try to add spice to your tweets by posting interesting articles, videos, and even pictures from Flickr that you think are eye-catching to them.
• Lastly, once you have established stable and friendly relationships with your followers, that’s the time you begin to seep in content related to your website. You can begin by sharing your online business to your followers (especially the close ones) by posting a link to your updates. Then start by talking about the products and services you are promoting as well as other interesting details about it.
I will be talking more about how to specifically use Twitter to monetize your blogging efforts in future post, so keep a look out.

Ever thought about dominating social bookmarking? With so many social bookmarking sites now how can one find the right social bookmarking tool to do that.
“A method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, “the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content.
In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.”
This is how you can use social bookmarking to get traffic to your website for free.
First understand that social bookmarking allows you to get incoming traffic to your blog/post and increase the possibility that your blog/post is seen and rank well. How is that possible? Take for example if you were to submit a blog page or a blog post to 51 social book marking sites listed below, that very same page or post can show up as 51 unique results in the search engine. I repeat, that page or post can be seen as 51 unique entry. This means that you can easily secure 10 out of 10 search result that is shown on the first page. You might even own the next few search pages. This is the possibility when you use social book marking as part of your tool.
Some argued that social bookmarking links are not as “valuable” to the search engine as other “hard coded” links. In my opinion, whatever gets you your traffic would still be something worth investing your time in.
The secret in social bookmarking then boils down to how precise are you in selecting your keywords. The more targeted they are, the better they get in the rank.
One example, instead of using generic keywords like “buy digital camera”, or “canon camera”, I will use more targeted by saying “canon power shot SD970 IS digital camera”
Let me share with you an example of how you should go about doing it.
1) Shot a video of yourself talking about the product. You can ask your friend to help you in this.
2) Upload the video to youtube.com and other video submission sites. You can see a list of them at another blog post “Viral Video Marketing | Online Video Marketing”
3) Upload your Youtube video into your blog
4) Take the blog post url and post it to 10-20 social bookmarking sites using http://SocialMarker.com/
5) Next take your video page at youtube and other video sites and post them to 10-20 social bookmarking sites using http://SocialMarker.com/
i.e. when you upload a video to a video site like youtube.com simple use http://SocialMarker.com/ to bookmark it.
I know of an internet marketer who uses the method that I shared with you above to secure 6 of the Top 10 position in the search result within hours of using the method. You might want to give it a try as well.
An interesting point that you might want to take note is that for the videos that are in video sites like youtube.com or myspace.com would still be able to stay in the top 10 position even after a month. However, most likely that the blog post that are in the social bookmarking sites would not be able to do so.
This means that whenever possible, do up a video and used the method that I have highlighted above and get the videos pages from video sites socially bookmarked. You should also submit your important pages / post to new social bookmarking sites every 1 – 2 weeks so that you can maintain your ranking in search engines like Google.
Note: The method that I have shared with you above can be accomplished within 20 minutes. This includes taking of the video. If you have more time, you should always watermark your videos with your url such that they will point to the site that you want to promote.
