		<description><![CDATA[Let's face it, Twitter is without a doubt the latest big thing on the Internet, so it's hardly surprising that so many people are talking about it. It should come as no surprise then that you're likely to encounter hundreds of so called Twitter gurus who claim they can tell you just how you should be using Twitter.

Now, while I may be wrong, there's a good chance that many of these "gurus" simply obtain their information from some or other online list. The Internet is full of such lists which are not only easy to understand, but also easy to follow, even if you only have a minimum amount of experience.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, Twitter is without a doubt the latest big thing on the Internet, so it&#8217;s hardly surprising that so many people are talking about it. It should come as no surprise then that you&#8217;re likely to encounter hundreds of so called Twitter gurus who claim they can tell you just how you should be using Twitter.</p>
<p>Now, while I may be wrong, there&#8217;s a good chance that many of these &#8220;gurus&#8221; simply obtain their information from some or other online list. The Internet is full of such lists which are not only easy to understand, but also easy to follow, even if you only have a minimum amount of experience. However, knowing how one &#8220;shouldn&#8217;t&#8221; use Twitter, is another ballgame altogether.</p>
<p><strong>1. Don&#8217;t take the update question literally!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-699 alignnone" title="What Are You Doing?" src="http://tomduong.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/what-are-you-doing1.png" alt="What Are You Doing?" width="559" height="133" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>There is no need to answer the question of, &#8220;what are you doing&#8221;, in a direct manner, even though the main update box asks for it. Unlike in the early days of Twitter when it was essentially there for friends to stay in touch with each other, it has since evolved considerably and as a result, many Twitter users now prefer to answer the following question instead:</p>
<blockquote><p>What are you able to share that will interest others?</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, you could choose to provide a thought, quote, an article, a video, a photo, a provocative question, or even a funny phrase. The best way to enjoy your twitter experience is to develop your own unique way of giving your followers something they appreciate.</p>
<p><strong>2. Don&#8217;t Over Tweet!</strong></p>
<p>Essentially, you don&#8217;t want to tweet every little event in your life because there are already far too many people doing just that. If you start doing the same, you&#8217;ll have no chance of standing out in a crowd. Let&#8217;s be honest with ourselves here; people could care less about how cute your puppy is or that you got a haircut on the weekend.</p>
<p>The bottom line is, if you&#8217;re going to go ahead and tweet every little thing in your life, you can be rest assured people will soon start ignoring you. When it comes to something such as Twitter, people in general are selfish. That is just the way we as humans are, so do yourself a favor and save those little personal tweets for a special little group of people who already know you.</p>
<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t Use A Product Image for Your Profile Picture</strong></p>
<p>Please, for your own sake as well as for the sake of everyone else who uses Twitter, Never do this. As far as Internet marketing is concerned, this must surely be one of the seven deadly sins.</p>
<p><strong>4. Don&#8217;t Use All 140 Characters for Your Tweet</strong></p>
<p>Rather than use all of your characters, you should leave spaces for at least a &#8220;RT @YourName&#8221; so that other users can retweet you. For example, my maximum tweet length would be 127 characters in order to allow space for someone retweeting to pre-pend it with &#8220;RT @TomDuong&#8221;. Of course, you can also stand to gain from multiple retweets if you keep your posts even shorter.</p>
<p><strong>5. Don&#8217;t Tweet Affiliate Links Only</strong></p>
<p>For example, if your niche is fitness, then you should tweet about things such as weight loss, workout routines, or how to lose that belly fat.</p>
<p>Such things will be appreciated by others in the fitness niche whereas regular products simply aren&#8217;t. What I&#8217;m trying to say is, if you only tweet affiliate links, it&#8217;s unlikely that you&#8217;ll make any sales.</p>
<p>Your primary goal is to give people enough reason to want to follow you and the only way you can do that is by providing them with interesting information. On the other hand, if you only tweet about affiliate products, you will simply be seen as a spammer.</p>
<p>As with so many types of Internet marketing, you will only make money with Twitter if you&#8217;re able to provide people with a product or service they really want. Before you ask, there are thousands of people out there that art looking for those products which you promote. The thing to remember though is, they don&#8217;t want you to try and hard sell them.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Undeniably, affiliate marketing is perhaps the easiest way to get started with regards to an online business, considering that there are such a vast amount of different opportunities.

As you more than likely already know, an affiliate marketer is essentially someone who promotes another person's product or service in return for a commission. As such, you don't need any capital outlay, and neither do you need your own product. In fact, contrary to what some may have told you, you don't even need to have your own website...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Undeniably, affiliate marketing is perhaps the easiest way to get started with regards to an online business, considering that there are such a vast amount of different opportunities.</p>
<p>As you more than likely already know, an affiliate marketer is essentially someone who promotes another person&#8217;s product or service in return for a commission. As such, you don&#8217;t need any capital outlay, and neither do you need your own product. In fact, contrary to what some may have told you, you don&#8217;t even need to have your own website.</p>
<p><strong>Bum Marketing </strong></p>
<p>This could consist of either article marketing or Web 2.0, both of which are often referred to as bum marketing simply because they involve free methods of generating an income. Essentially, you write articles and then you submit them to various free article directories. The beauty of this is, you can include your affiliate advertisement on those sites. While there are many such sites, Ezinearticles.com is perhaps the best known one. Of course, when you write an article and you submit it to the site, you are entitled to include a link at the end, in what is known as a &#8220;resource box.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Review Sites </strong></p>
<p>As many affiliate marketers can attest to, review sites have been enjoying increasing popularity in recent times. They are in fact a great opportunity to make money with affiliate products simply because there are so many people who like to read reviews regarding a certain product before they go ahead and purchase that product. For example, you may want to have a site which reviews different types or brands of coffee pots or coffee makers. In that case you would need to write reviews relating to the types of products you&#8217;re promoting, but you need to bear in mind that you want to portray yourself as being impartial and as such, you will need to give certain products a poor review, while giving others an average one and others a strong one. You also need to avoid giving the most expensive product the best review. If you do that, there&#8217;s a good chance that any potential customers may become suspicious.</p>
<p><strong>Blogging </strong></p>
<p>One of the most popular affiliate marketing model nowadays is blogging. For those who don&#8217;t know, you can start blogging for free using a solution such as Wordpress.com, although I don&#8217;t personally recommend this if you do have even a minimal amount of money to invest in a domain and web hosting. It is however a good option for those who simply have no money at all. If you do have just a little money then I would recommend you use the &#8220;.org&#8221; version of Wordpress instead.</p>
<p>Another interesting feature about blogging is that it requires you to have at least a moderate amount of skill with regards to writing. The reason for this being, you will need to post to your blog on a regular basis, which in my opinion should be no less than once per week. You should also bear in mind that all the major search engines including Google, are attracted by fresh content, and if you&#8217;re offering fresh content on a regular basis, you&#8217;ll receive a higher page ranking. By submitting regular posts, you will also help to ensure that your blog remains fresh. If you simply have no writing skills at all then I&#8217;m afraid that blogging might not be the ideal choice for you.</p>
<p><strong>PPC Marketing </strong></p>
<p>PPC, which stands for &#8220;pay-per-click&#8221; marketing, is an amazing way to generate an income with affiliate products, although it does take a lot of planning and a considerable amount of practice. In fact, it&#8217;s not uncommon for people to loose money in the beginning while they learn how to go about setting up a successful campaign.</p>
<p>PPC usually does require a relatively large investment, and even though you&#8217;re not usually required to pay in advance, you will have to settle your bill at the end of each month. Of course if you don&#8217;t pay, your advertisements will simply be suspended, not to mention the fact that you could lose your account and end up being banned for life. The problem arises because the vast majority of affiliate marketing companies fail to pay you in time so that you in turn can pay for your PPC. Remember, a lot of affiliate merchants make payments to their affiliates on a monthly or quarterly basis and on top of that, you have to allow for the time it takes for checks to clear. Additionally, if you decide you want to spend a large amount of money, you may often then be required to pay in advance. For example, if you all of a sudden ran up $1000 worth of clicks at Google AdWords, there&#8217;s a strong possibility that they may put a temporary hold on your account until such time you settle your bill. Because it&#8217;s so easy to run up a large bill in such a short space of time, there is always a possibility that you&#8217;ll end up owing a huge amount of money long before you even see your affiliate checks arrive.</p>

Not only can you sort a list, you can also delete words and phrases from anywhere in the text field automatically and painlessly, which is what I like. <img src='http://tomduong.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="size-full wp-image-622 aligncenter" title="Twitter 101" src="http://tomduong.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/twitter-1012.png" alt="Twitter 101" width="468" height="112" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is more than likely the most common phrase ever regarding Twitter, and the fact remains there are still a vast number of people who simply have no idea as to what it is. This phenomenon which is known as Twitter, and which is used for both fun and business purposes, has undeniably taken the world by storm.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unlike many people think, I can assure you that Twitter is a lot more than a website with a strange name. Instead, Twitter is in essence a social website where one can post &#8220;mini-blogs&#8221; in order to allow anyone and everyone to answer the question, &#8220;what are you doing?&#8221; Because Twitter has become such a source for instant news, it has also become an ideal place to market your products or services, although one shouldn&#8217;t forget that Twitter is essentially used as a fun social networking community.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, now that you know that Twitter allows a global community to answer the question, &#8220;what are you doing?&#8221; it&#8217;s interesting to note that their answer has to be 140 characters or less. Providing you use Twitter properly, you can use it to promote a variety of things such as, seminars, promotions, and even sales. In fact, Twitter can by all accounts become the fundamental driving force behind your company&#8217;s marketing, and this of course can result in a huge boost to your profits.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What you need to realize is, most people knows how to use Twitter but not everyone knows how to use it for business purposes. Not only can Twitter help you to find new customers, but it can also help you to connect with your existing customers.  Furthermore, because other Twitter users can comment about your company, it&#8217;s a great way for you to judge the success level of your company, products, or services.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Twitter&#8217;s value as an instant news source was made even more apparent with the recent plane crash which saw an airliner crash into the Hudson River. Before regular news crews even arrived on the site, some of the survivors who use Twitter provided numerous details of the crash. Interestingly enough, Twitter has also been credited with saving a U.S. citizen which was being held captive in a foreign country. U.S. officials were alerted when the tweet was heard around the world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Essentially, Twitter is also a great resource for driving traffic to your blogs or to your website because when you post links to those sites on Twitter, you can quite literally reach thousands of users.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Because we can use Twitter either for fun or for business, it&#8217;s hardly surprising that there are now some large business corporations that are starting to appreciate the potential of this micro blogging phenomenon which has taken the world by storm. These large corporations fully understand that they can use this tool in order to grow their businesses. The bottom line is, Twitter can be extremely beneficial to your business if used correctly.</p>

Remember, apart from saving you from having to sell your product of service face to face, good sales letters are similar to that rare breed of employees who never request time off from work.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you&#8217;re looking for ways to improve your conversion rates? Well, you need to take a look at your copywriting capabilities first of all. Are you satisfied that your sales letters are converting as they should be? If not, then I may be able to help.</p>
<p>For the most part, a sales letter is deemed to be good if it has a conversion rate of 2 to 4 percent but of course, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;d be happy if it went beyond the 4 percent mark. Remember, apart from saving you from having to sell your product of service face to face, good sales letters are similar to that rare breed of employees who never request time off from work.</p>
<p>On the other hand, what do you do when your sales letters aren&#8217;t bringing in the results you&#8217;re looking for, and your conversion rate is below the 2 percent mark?</p>
<p>Well, here are 5 ways you can improve your conversion rates:</p>
<p><strong>1. Make Your Headline Stand Out!</strong></p>
<p>Your headline is the opening statement and first impression        you make, so it&#8217;s crucial that your headline font is larger than that which you use in the letter itself. The reason for this is you want it to stand out from the rest and in so doing, attract attention.</p>
<p><strong>2. Headline Must Contain a Benefit!</strong></p>
<p>Headlines must always provide a benefit and relevance to the reader. Statistics have shown that on average, people read the headline of your ad and sales letter 5 times more than the body copy.</p>
<p><strong>3. Use a Character in Your Headline!</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it; the average person likes to read things which relate to real people and real experiences. Mention something about how a certain person managed to change their life around and you can be sure it&#8217;ll grab attention. For example, a headline which mentions how a homeless fifty year old became wealthy through Internet marketing, is bound to attract the attention of many people in that age group, as well as in other age groups.</p>
<p><strong>4. Encourage Readers to Continue Reading!</strong></p>
<p>Essentially, if your headline is the bait, then a sub-headline could be seen as the hook. As such, use a slightly smaller font for your sub-headline and make it as enticing as possible. The goal here is; you want to persuade the reader that it&#8217;s really in their best interest to continue reading.</p>
<p><strong>5. Watch Your Word Count!</strong></p>
<p>Never be tempted to use too many words in your headline. In fact, research suggests that the ideal number of words should be 20 to 25, primarily because people tend to have an extremely short attention span with regards reading things on the Internet.</p>
<p>Okay, just before I end off, here is one last tip. In fact, you should already be aware of this:</p>
<p>Did you know, studies have proven that &#8220;RED&#8221; is the ideal color to use for a headline? The bottom line is; red headlines consistently out-perform all other color headlines.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m confident enough to say that providing you make use of the tips provided in this article, you&#8217;ll definitely see an increase in your conversion rates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class="alignleft size-full wp-image-567" title="Facebook Logo" src="http://tomduong.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/facebook-tom-duong.jpg" alt="Facebook Logo" width="259" height="97" />It simply cannot be denied, with more than 100 million people logging into <a title="Add Tom on Facebook!" href="http://profile.to/tomduong" target="_blank">Facebook</a> each month, it&#8217;s the largest social networking site on the Internet today and as such, it&#8217;s a fantastic tool for driving traffic to your site. However, before you move in to exploit this awesome opportunity, you need to be familiar with the viral techniques which work in the Facebook platform, as outlined in this article.</p>
<p><strong>1. Create a Facebook Network</strong></p>
<p>Of course, before you can start putting all this to work, you first need to create a network of FaceBook friends. This can be done simply by joining a few of the groups which share something in common with regards to your product. Furthermore, you should also join a few groups you have an interest in.</p>
<p>Encourage the members in the groups you join to add you as a friend. Even go as far as asking members if you can be their friend, because after all, if you can get 20 people each day to include your name to their list of friends, you&#8217;ll have more than 1,000 friends within a couple of months.</p>
<p><strong>2. Daily Status Update</strong></p>
<p>Your status message should ideally be updated on a daily basis. Try to steer away from updating your blog with boring messages like &#8220;I am going to eat now&#8221; or &#8220;Heading off to work.&#8221; Instead, you should update your status using quotes from famous people, or interesting sayings which relate to the niche you&#8217;re interested in. You could also post links to interesting articles from your blog or articles you found on the Internet. Furthermore, you could also make use of jokes because at the end of the day, your intention should be to get peoples attention so they click on your profile.</p>
<p><strong>3. Sending Daily Birthday Wishes</strong></p>
<p>Because FaceBook shows the birthdays of those within your network, you have an opportunity to wish them happy birthday. However, rather than using the canned messages, you should write a nice personalized message on their walls.</p>
<p>Remember, in FaceBook, whenever you write on a member&#8217;s wall, everyone in the network will get an updated feed. Because of this, it&#8217;s crucial that you write a message that grabs everyone&#8217;s attention. The great thing is, you can create 10 or 20 first class attention grabbers and then simply customize them slightly for each friend.</p>
<p><strong>4. Creating a Business Page</strong></p>
<p>Over and above having a personal page, you should always create an interesting business page. Be sure to use this feature to your advantage by including logo for your business. This can then be used as your business page picture.</p>
<p>Additionally, you want members to become a fan of your business page so you&#8217;ll need to promote it via blogs, blog comments and social media like <a title="Follow Tom on Twitter!" href="http://twitter.com/TomDuong" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. Likewise, you can also use your business page in order to launch a FaceBook advertising campaign, and if you&#8217;re really serious about getting members to become fans, simply offer incentives for doing so like free ebooks and special reports.</p>
<p><strong>5. Tag Photos Using Friends&#8217; Name</strong>s</p>
<p>In order to do this, simply upload all of your promotional photos to your business page and then tag them with the names of your friends, especially those friends who you deem to be the most influential. When you do this, your photos will appear in your friend&#8217;s new feeds. Once you&#8217;ve established a solid network of friends, you need to create a list of friends that have the highest number of friends and then you can all use each other&#8217;s names to tag photos with.</p>
<p><strong>6. If Possible, Change Relationship Status on a Regular Basis</strong></p>
<p>The reason for doing this is because not many people change their relationship status. In fact, because it&#8217;s one of the least frequent changes being made on FaceBook, they place a lot of importance on it. As a result, when you do go ahead and change your relationship status, FaceBook makes sure that everyone within your networks receives a news feed.</p>
<p>Of course, it was only a matter of time before clever marketers discovered this loophole and they have since been using it to their advantage in order to encourage people to look at their profile. In fact, some marketers change their relationship status as often as once a week but of course, it&#8217;s up to you if you wish to adopt this practice.</p>
<p><strong>7. Attending Numerous Events</strong></p>
<p>Ever true to the cause, FaceBook continues to be all about friends getting together for some or other event. In fact, FaceBook take this so seriously, they place a great amount of emphasis on such events in news feeds. Ideally, whether or not you can attend all events or not, you should still attempt to RSVP them.</p>
<p>The more events you&#8217;re seen to be attending, the more your friends will start seeing you as a valuable resource so of course, the more places your name shows up in, the better it is for you. Remember, when somebody keeps seeing your name getting mentioned, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before they check out your profile.</p>
<p><strong>8. Blog Post</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s crucial for you to import the RSS feeds from your blog, if you have one, into FaceBook. When you do this, FaceBook automatically publishes all your articles in the feed, into FaceBook notes. Furthermore, you should also try to encourage your friends to post comment in FaceBook notes with regards to your articles. Additionally, while it is in fact possible to tag friends in the articles, you need to avoid over-doing it.</p>
<p><strong>9. Commenting on Popular Groups</strong></p>
<p>Ideally, you should visit those groups which you&#8217;ve joined on a regular basis in order to post comments. As with blog comments, comments on groups will also achieve the same goal, in that it will help to increase the number of times your name is seen by others. However, you need to ensure your comments contain something of value. If not, then you could always post a link to something which you feel may add value to a specific group.</p>
<p><strong>10. Hold Your Own Events<br />
</strong><br />
It&#8217;s certainly no great secret that events are enormously popular on FaceBook. In fact, providing of course that you organize it properly, the viral effect can be almost unbelievable and as such, it can attract thousands into registering for the event. Whatever you do, make sure you send out invitations to virtually each and every friend you have. Remember, they also all have plenty of friends and the chances are, they&#8217;ll be telling their friends about the event as well.</p>
<p><em>Okay, there you have it! I hope you like the 10 Facebook tips I provided above. You don&#8217;t have to use everyone one of them, but I&#8217;d love to know which one is your favorite or easiest one to do. Please let me know by leaving a comment below. Thanks!</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face it, every second person you speak to these days is trying to make some money through the sale of resell rights products. Of course, the reason for the increasing popularity of these products, is simply because all the hard work has aleady been done by someone else. The fact that you neither have to create a product, nor do you have to hire somebody else to do it for you, makes resell rights products the ideal choice for those who simply don&#8217;t have much time on their hands, and also for those on a limited budget.</p>
<p>Having said that, there a few things which one should take into consideration when buying resell rights products:</p>
<p><strong>1. Has The Product Already Outlived its Usefulness?</strong></p>
<p>In order to maximize your earning potential with resell rights products, you need to be sure it&#8217;s a new or at least, a relatively new product on the market. Remember, if the product you&#8217;re interested in has been around for any length of time, there&#8217;s every chance that thousands of other marketers are also trying to sell the same product. Likewise, the information or service the product provides may of course already be outdated and therefore no longer of any use to anyone. After all, why would anyone be interested in buying a product from you that they can never use?</p>
<p><strong>2. Does The Product Come With Private Label Rights?</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s simply no question about it, products which include private label rights are by far the option of choice, as far as resell rights products are concerned. Of course, this is simply because if a product offers private label rights, the buyer is then free to make any adjustments they may deem to be necessary. This includes making changes to the sales page and also to the contents. In fact, you can even put your own name to the product as if you yourself were the author. What many of the more savvy marketers do is they purchase multiple products and then combine then in order to create a brand new product.</p>
<p><strong>3. Is The Product a Limited Edition?</strong></p>
<p>Of course, some products are only sold to a predetermined number of people and while this can work in your favor, it can also work against you. Essentially, this is because so many people who buy these products end up never doing anything with them and of course, the less people there are that use such a product, the more profit you can make. In other words, if 1000 other people have bought the same product, you&#8217;ll make less profit than you would if there were only 100 other people sitting with the same product.</p>
<p><strong>4. Are Profits Possible With Older Resell Rights Products?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, there definitely is money to be made with the older resell rights products. In fact, the benefit with these is that they&#8217;re almost always cheaper than the newer products. Of course, there are also a number of ways in which one can use them. For example, you could offer them as a reward to visitors who opt-in to be placed on your mailing list. Alternatively, you could bundle them and offer the package as a bonus to people who purchase one of your other profits. Lastly, you could combine a number of them to form a large package which you could in turn sell at a far higher price.</p>
<p><strong>5. Has The Market Already Been Flooded With This Product?</strong></p>
<p>As far as new or fairly new resell rights products are concerned, the most important thing to determine is whether or not the market has already been flooded with it. If it has, then there&#8217;ll be too many other marketers selling it and as such, you&#8217;ll be up against far too much competition in order to make any real money. In fact, unless you develop a unique way through which to promote it, selling it will be a battle right from the beginning. Ideally, you need to buy a product that is still peaking and generating good sales.</p>
<p>All in all, there&#8217;s a lot of money to be made with resell rights products, providing of course that you have the right product. Of course, the only way you&#8217;ll ever manage to get your hands on a good product, is if you&#8217;re willing to do some research.</p>

While all the Internet marketing gurus are quick to state that "the money is in the list," they fail to mention that while that may in fact be true, building a list is not always the easiest thing to do. In fact, creating a list can be extremely demanding, even when you've successfully managed to tweak your site in every conceivable way, from testing squeeze pages to fine tuning headlines. However, there's no reason why you should throw in the towel because there are in fact certain measures you can take in order to get that list growing faster than what you thought possible...]]></description>

<p>While all the Internet marketing gurus are quick to state that &#8220;the money is in the list,&#8221; they fail to mention that while that may in fact be true, building a list is not always the easiest thing to do. In fact, creating a list can be extremely demanding, even when you&#8217;ve successfully managed to tweak your site in every conceivable way, from testing squeeze pages to fine tuning headlines. However, there&#8217;s no reason why you should throw in the towel because there are in fact certain measures you can take in order to get that list growing faster than what you thought possible.</p>
<p><strong>1. Offer a Newsletter</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, we all love getting something for free, so if you offer your visitors something in return for opting in, you&#8217;ll automatically have more opt-ins. Of course, having said that, whatever you offer them needs to be of some value to them because if it&#8217;s not, they&#8217;ll simply unsubscribe almost immediately. Furthermore, you need to keep your list warm and the best way to do that is by sending out weekly newsletters to those on your list. Providing your newsletters are packed full of useful information within your niche, and your readers find them interesting and beneficial, they&#8217;ll actually enjoy receiving them.</p>
<p><strong>2. Offer a Free Report</strong></p>
<p>Offering visitors a <a href="http://www.goldenprofitsystem.com/" target="_blank">free report</a> has also shown to be incredibly effective in getting them to opt-in, particularly when the report you&#8217;re offering them is available only from your site. Providing your opt-in report is just as meaningful as a regular report is, there&#8217;s every possibility that those who read it will opt-in. Of course, it also pays to include a few testimonials from some of your happy subscribers because we all know just how powerful word-of-mouth advertising can be.</p>
<p><strong>3. Use Videos<br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;m sorry to have to say this, but if you haven&#8217;t yet noticed just how much traffic sites such as YouTube, MetaCafe and DailyMotion are getting, then I&#8217;m afraid you must be from a different planet. These sites are all exploiting the fact that as humans we tend to be lazy, and as such, why read through an article if you can simply look and listen instead. By including videos on your website for those who opt-in, you&#8217;ll effectively be encouraging visitors to opt-in. Just make sure that your opt-in box appears right next to a tempting video, That way, once they&#8217;ve watched the video, the temptation to opt in will simply be too much for them and as a result, more names are added to your growing list.</p>
<p><strong>4. The Importance of Quality Graphics</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve all heard the saying that one should never judge a book by its cover but unfortunately most people do. Websites which don&#8217;t look the part, inevitably suffer from a low sales and conversion rate. The chances are; if your site doesn&#8217;t look good, you&#8217;re more than likely already aware of it. The fact is though, you can do something about it because in this day and age, professional graphics no longer cost an arm and a leg. In fact, you can now get opt-in and other template graphic for about the same price as a domain name. Professional looking graphics do exactly what they say they can do, in that they make your site appear professional. Remember, people will be more willing to opt-in if you have a professional looking site.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Undeniably, article marketing is not only an extremely powerful tool for promoting an online business, but it's also highly cost effective. Of course, as with so many other things in life, there's a right way and a wrong way of doing things. When done properly you can achieve almost unlimited success but on the other hand, do it the wrong way and you'll simply be wasting your time.

So, rather than waste any time, let's get straight to it...

<strong>1. Use a Killer Headline</strong>

Contrary to what you may believe, having a killer headline is crucial. For example, let's say you're fortunate enough to have as many as 10,000 people scanning the page on which your article link appears. I can assure you, only a small percentage of those people will actually click on your title in order to read the full article. In fact]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Undeniably, article marketing is not only an extremely powerful tool for promoting an online business, but it&#8217;s also highly cost effective. Of course, as with so many other things in life, there&#8217;s a right way and a wrong way of doing things. When done properly you can achieve almost unlimited success but on the other hand, do it the wrong way and you&#8217;ll simply be wasting your time.</p>
<p>So, rather than waste any time, let&#8217;s get straight to it&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>1. Use a Killer Headline</strong></p>
<p>Contrary to what you may believe, having a killer headline is crucial. For example, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re fortunate enough to have as many as 10,000 people scanning the page on which your article link appears. I can assure you, only a small percentage of those people will actually click on your title in order to read the full article. In fact, let&#8217;s just say 1% of the people who see your headline end up clicking on it and then reading the full article. Now I&#8217;m sure you can see where this is going – 10,000 reading your headline but only 100 people reading your article.</p>
<p>Okay, if we take into consideration what&#8217;s been mentioned above, what would you suppose we should be focusing on more – headline or article?</p>
<p><strong>2. Keyword Targeting</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, SEO rankings aren&#8217;t just going to happen. In fact, the only way you&#8217;ll get them is if you&#8217;re absolutely serious with regards to the use of keywords. The bottom line is, the vast majority of Internet marketers are willing to use practically any keywords, or they simply choose to use the most commonly used keywords relating to the product of service they&#8217;re promoting. Of course, the more common your keywords are, the harder it is to get decent SEO rankings. Instead, you should be aiming to use the less common keywords which relate to your product in order to have a higher ranking. You can be rest assured that if you write a killer headline, and you follow the other advice being offered in this article, then hitting page one on the search engine results pages (SERPs) should certainly be within your reach.</p>
<p>If for example you&#8217;re promoting wind or solar power systems which one can build yourself, then instead of using keywords such as &#8220;wind power&#8221; or &#8220;solar power&#8221;, you should rather use ones such as &#8220;DIY Wind Generators&#8221;.</p>
<p>I assure you, it&#8217;s been proven time and time again that this strategy pays off. Finally, once you&#8217;re satisfied that you&#8217;ve got all your long-tail keywords covered, you need to move on to the next level, eventually ending off with your primary keyword.<br />
<strong><br />
3. Quality Content</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it, it&#8217;s incredibly frustrating when you&#8217;re desperately searching for specific information on the Internet, and you come across a headline that suggests you&#8217;ve just found what you&#8217;re looking for, only to then discover that the article has no useful information. The sad truth is, with webmasters being increasingly desperate for traffic, many are outsourcing their article writing to people who simply couldn&#8217;t care less about quality content. Of course not everyone is able to write quality articles and as such, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with outsourcing but the problem is, good ghost writers can be hard to come by. The fact of the matter is; if you want your articles to generate traffic to your site, then it&#8217;s imperative that they provide readers with something of value.</p>
<p><strong>4. Simple Format</strong></p>
<p>While this may seem obvious to some, particularly to content writers, articles need to be presented in a simple format. In other words, rather that single 1000 word blocks of text, break it up into numerous short paragraphs. Remember, people want to be able to quickly scan your article before they actually read it. After all, they need to know if it&#8217;s what they&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p><strong>5. Link, Links and More Links</strong></p>
<p>I know, creating backlinks to your articles may well not be your favorite activity but the fact is, it&#8217;s absolutely vital. Remember, you need to ensure that the search engines are looking for your articles and then ranking them. While rankings are largely influenced by the popularity of the sites which link to your articles, if you&#8217;re aiming for SEO traffic, you&#8217;ll need to promote your articles on an ongoing basis.</p>
<p>Okay, one last thing before I finish up with this. Each and every article you write should be worth writing in the first place. Unlike in the past, if you want to achieve real success nowadays with article marketing, you simply cannot churn out a hundred articles each week without doing adequate research.
