<p>It&#8217;s easier to process information when it&#8217;s spoon fed to you in pieces, so I&#8217;m going to make this article short and easy to understand, without beating around the bush.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Have you ever wondered why some people succeed in <a href="http://www.billsfreereports.com/ContentMagnet" target="_blank"><strong>article marketing</strong></a>, and why some don&#8217;t? I did, so I did a little private eye investigation to learn the difference between the successful, and unsuccessful,and what I found was simply &quot;startling&quot;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the surface, article marketing is the preferred beginner choice to driving targeted traffic to an online business, because all that&#8217;s needed, is to write a few articles to submit for FREE to various content submission websites, like EzineArticles and Article Dashboard.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Looks easy enough, and it is. But the problem lies not in laziness, because some article marketers write until their hands fall off the hinges.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&quot;They Don&#8217;t Write With their Targeted Buyer In Mind&quot;<span id="more-2462"></span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Listen, it&#8217;s not enough to write articles for the sake of getting any result. You have to write your articles with a sense of purpose, with the intention of getting a specific result.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen articles that looked like they&#8217;ve been written by a 6-year old, that are some of the most profitable articles for online business owners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s never about how many articles you deliver, or even the quality, it&#8217;s about HOW you deliver the articles, and what you plan on doing with the traffic you get from them, and a deep understanding of WHO you&#8217;re targeting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Never write for the sake of doing it because you heard it was a good idea. It&#8217;s NEVER a good idea when you have no idea why you&#8217;re writing it, who you&#8217;re writing to, and how you&#8217;re going to deliver it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The difference between successful article marketers and the ones who are not, lies in the obvious; Successful article marketers take sniper shot aims at their target from a short distance, and unsuccessful article marketers take shotgun aim at targets&#8230;50 miles away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A word of advice; Seriously think about what you want your promotional articles to accomplish, so you know it gets you the results you want and are looking for&#8230;no exceptions!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you boil it all down to it&#8217;s meaty substance, this applies to any and EVERY bit of marketing you do, regardless of how simple or complicated the marketing method is.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>you MUST have a purpose and conviction for your articles to do any good profitably.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The sooner you understand this fact, the sooner you&#8217;ll be one of the best article marketers online.</p>

<p>If you want to succeed with <a href="http://www.BillsFreeReports.com/LinkedinMarketing" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold">LinkedIn marketing,</span></a> it&#8217;s important to become familiar with the site, and get used to all the new features and nuances that can help you reach out to more people. It will also help you to advertise better and boost your reputation in your filed. To help you achieve all of the above and more, here are ten tips to help get you started on your upcoming LinkedIn marketing campaign.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">1. Create A Compelling Headline:</span> When compared side by side with a competitor, your headline should draw the attention and the click. Your headline should showcase your experience, expertise and keyword, all in one tight little package. Get this one right and you will enjoy far more profile views than anyone else competing against you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<table width="95%" align="center"  cellpadding="0">

<td width="51%">
<div align="center"><span style="font-weight: bold">2. Upload a Professional Photo:</span> </p>
<p>
          Your photo should be professional and should adequately represent you or your business. If you don&#8217;t have any professional photos of yourself, consider hiring a professional photographer. It will be well worth it.</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">3. Upload Your Resume, CV and Letters of Recommendation:</span> Your resume is already optimized with your skills, education and experience placed forefront and center. Upload this information to LinkedIn and super-charge your profile, by showing that you are the best in your field.<span id="more-2456"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">4. Expand Your Network:</span> Take advantage of all the ways LinkedIn allows you to expand your network. Let the site search your email account address books, enter email addresses manually, request introductions from others, and let LinkedIn recommend others you may want to connect with.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t just blanket expand your network. Be a little choosy, but do try to expand your network with quality professionals every chance you get.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">5. Follow Your Competitors:</span> Don&#8217;t be left in the dark about what your competitors are up to. Follow companies and professionals and use LinkedIn Signal to keep up-to-date with the latest happenings within your industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">6. Use LinkedIn Applications:</span> LinkedIn allows you to put various applications on your profile, that will boost your profile&#8217;s effectiveness and overall image. For instance, Box.net allows you to put downloadable content on your profile, Google Presentations allows you to host videos on your profile, and that&#8217;s just two of them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">7. Host Events: </span>With LinkedIn Events, or the Events app, you can announce your events and blast that announcement to everyone in your professional network. Do you have a product launch, seminar or webinar coming up? Make sure everyone knows about it using these exciting new LinkedIn features.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">8. Answer Questions:</span> With LinkedIn Answers, you can showcase your expertise and help others with their problems, which will help provide you with a big boost in your reputation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">9. LinkedIn News</span>: It&#8217;s always a good idea to keep up with the latest happenings on LinkedIn. You never know when a new feature will be added that will help to boost your profile or image. Keep up-to-date with LinkedIn and always stay two steps ahead of any competitors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">10. Join Groups</span>: LinkedIn Groups allow you to mingle with other professionals and experts in your field. On a social network for professionals, this is where things truly get social. If you want to reach out more, connect with more like minded people and make a difference on LinkedIn, join a few groups and enjoy the ride.</p>

<p><strong>LinkedIn</strong> surpassed 100 million users as of March 2011, and the number of professionals joining the network continues to grow by the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you want to try your hand at <a href="http://www.BillsFreeReports.com/LinkedinMarketing" target="_blank"><strong>LinkedIn marketing</strong></a>, you are encouraged to do so, since there is so much opportunity be had. However, be careful, there&#8217;s lots of competition out there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To help you maximize your LinkedIn marketing efforts, follow these five tips from the experts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<table width="90%" align="center"  cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="50%"><img src="http://www.billsfreereports.com/images/11report_cover.jpg" alt="11report cover 5 LinkedIn Marketing Tips from the Experts" width="200" height="247" title="5 LinkedIn Marketing Tips from the Experts" /></td>
<td width="50%">
<div align="center"><strong>1. Create A Headline That Demands To Be Clicked:</strong> This is not a time to be modest. Your LinkedIn profile should present you as the top dog in your field or company. </p>
<p>          You really need to stand out to get ahead, and it all starts with your profile headline. Your headline should include your expertise, your job title and your primary keywords all in a nice, concise little package.</p></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2. Hire A Professional Photographer: </strong>You only get one chance at a first impression. When other professionals view your updates in their newsfeeds, or click on your profile, your photo is usually one of the first things they see. If your profile photo isn&#8217;t professional, you may lose out on all the opportunities that LinkedIn marketing can provide. Hire a photographer and don&#8217;t take chances with your first impressions.<span id="more-2447"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>3. Maximize Your Connections</strong>:LinkedIn provides you with many ways to add to your contacts and connections list. You can search your email account address books for potential LinkedIn users, you can manually add email addresses and LinkedIn will even recommend people you might want to meet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>But don&#8217;t stop there.</em>.. look through your contacts and view their contacts. You never know when you might be one step away from a new partnership, client or customer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>4. Join And Participate in Groups:</strong> LinkedIn groups are a terrific way to keep up-to-date with the latest happenings in your industry. You can mingle with other professionals in your field, including experts, and that&#8217;s a great way to get noticed, and ahead.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As an extra tip, spend a little bit of time each day participating in various groups and people will soon take notice of your marketing efforts.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s live, folks, <a href="http://www.BillsFreeReports.com/LinkedinMarketing" target="_blank"><strong>&#8216;Linkedin Marketing&#8217;</strong></a>, the Internet Marketer&#8217;s Blueprint for LinkedIn Domination, is finally live and this is your chance to get yourself a copy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As some of you may know, I began working on a LinkedIn marketing project late last year. I compiled expert tips, tricks and techniques from some of the top LinkedIn online marketers from all over the world, and all the information is tightly compiled into this one program <a href="http://www.BillsFreeReports.com/LinkedinMarketing"><strong>&#8216;LinkedIn Marketing&#8217;</strong></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><u>What&rsquo;s the big deal about LinkedIn Marketing anyway?</u> It&#8217;s quite simple, really. When I began talking to these experts and picking their brains for the latest LinkedIn marketing strategies, I was blown away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://www.BillsFreeReports.com/LinkedinMarketing" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.BillVannot.com/images2/11Package.jpg" alt="11Package The Only LinkedIn Marketing Program You Will Ever Need, Finally Goes On Sale" width="400" height="298" border="0" title="The Only LinkedIn Marketing Program You Will Ever Need, Finally Goes On Sale" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I uncovered some brilliant tips that anyone could use, to rise to the tops of their industries quickly and easily, but that&#8217;s not all.<span id="more-2435"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Gain Preeminence: </strong>One of the best things about LinkedIn Marketing is that it teaches anyone how to create a profile on the professional social network, and optimize that profile so that it gets noticed quickly. The program also includes a list of LinkedIn&#8217;s newest features and how they can be used to achieve even more authority and popularity in your given field.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Market Research:</strong> Not many people know that LinkedIn is perfect for conducting market research on all types of niches and subjects. With LinkedIn groups, answers, companies and other elements within the site, you can learn, absorb and make your products and services out of this world in the process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Find JV Partners: </strong>Have you ever wanted to start a joint venture, but you didn&#8217;t know where to find professionals who were good enough, and trustworthy enough to start a business with? With LinkedIn, finding JV partners if fairly simple once you know how. You&#8217;ll find all that information and more in the LinkedIn Marketing program.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Not Just an rBook: </strong>The LinkedIn Marketing program isn&#8217;t just an everyday ebook. Not only do you get the ebook, but the program also comes with a checklist and accompanying workbook to help you stay on track every step of the way. I designed LinkedIn Marketing to be usable by anyone who wants to get ahead on the social network. With the book, checklist and workbook, you only need to follow along and you will achieve LinkedIn domination.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Are you ready to see what all the hype is all about? I invite you to be one of the first to try and review LinkedIn Marketing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>*Word Of CAUTION*</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t &quot;invent&quot; nor find out about these all by myself. In fact, many I&#8217;ve discovered came from the advice and mentorship of other successful youtube video marketers who make their living with this stuff.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Below, in no order of particular importance, you&#8217;re going to discover <u>8 bad azz youtube secrets that&#8217;ll make you money using free traffic</u></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #1:</strong> If you&#8217;re new to video marketing and YouTube is your first choice (and best choice), when you open your YouTube channel post your first video as a &quot;response&quot; to a popular video.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is powerful because it brings in fresh subscribers to your channel, and fresh views.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #2:</strong> After editing and uploading your videos, to get more traffic to your video submit your video link to social bookmarking websites like digg, mixx, sumbleupon, etc.<span id="more-2421"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, don&#8217;t forget to tag them on the big three: Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #3:</strong> If your using YouTube for the IM niche, focus on 1 niche ONLY. Upload two videos of the same keywords and the chances of you getting ranked goes up by almost 50%.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #4:</strong> Search for a popular video with keywords to match your target market. and contact the owner and ask if you can put your website in a annotation embedded in the video, for a small cash payment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #5:</strong> Don&#8217;t be a hermit and make friends with some of the people in your niche. Yes, that includes your competitors. Comment on their videos and help them get more views to their channel, and they might return the favor or give you a few connections.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #6:</strong> Create a parody version of a popular YouTube video using the same keywords, tags and title. Do not MOCK the video with the intent to harm their reputation, to build yours. Keep it light, and most importantly make it funny.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #7:</strong> Use a video of yours to include as a response on other peoples Myspace account, or other social media network websites. Make sure the video is relevant to the comment your making.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Secret #8:</strong> Keep the videos brief and to the point. Long, drawn out videos rarely get the attention they deserve, because when they look over to their right&#8230;voila! more videos to look at that get straight to the point.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attention spans are short lived in an age where information is abundant, so keep your videos short.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These are all bits and pieces to a bigger puzzle that will only improve your traffic and consequently boost sales. Don&#8217;t try to tackle all little secrets at once. Take your time and apply one at a time until you reach the end of the list.</p>

In print, with the right connections, you could get your article placed for free, talking about the benefits of a product or service you&#8217;re promoting. In return, the newspaper (or magazine) saved on the costs of finding talent to write for their publication.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Again, creating <strong>a win-win for both parties involved!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The biggest difference between online and offline article marketing, is the barrier of entry has lowered, to the point where both the really bad and really good article marketers are on the same level playing field.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you had a bad article to submit to a printed publication, it would be rejected in a heart beat. With online publications, because there are so many start-up distribution centers, they are starving for content, and no matter how bad the content, it will normally find it&#8217;s away around to the end-user, which disrupts the credibility of online articles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Article marketing is just one of many ways to promote products or services</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Usually, people with smaller marketing budgets use articles to get the results they&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keep in mind that <u>keywords are your most important article marketing tool. </u>Without them is like looking for your home (your website) without a street address. Make it easy for your target audience to find you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Give serious thought to what words they&#8217;re likely to type looking for specific information, and modify your articles accordingly to fit like a glove.<u> Get this right, and you won&#8217;t have to fight to drive traffic to your online business. </u></p>

<p>None of these Facebook commandments are &quot;gospel&quot; (no pun intended), but they are required mastery IF you want to explode your social media marketing traffic, using Facebook as a gateway to a booming online business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>FB Commandment #1: Thou Shall Have A Powerful Profile</strong> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Facebook profiles are not judged by the words that are said, but by what it does for the reader.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Does it MOVE them emotionally?
</li>
<li>        Do they feel CONNECTED to you in some way?
</li>
<li>        Do they share a COMMON goal with you?
</li>
<li>        Are they in the same PROFESSION as you?
</li>
<li>        Does it make them CURIOUS?
</li>
<li>        Does it make them ASK questions?
</li>
<li>        Does it PISS them off, or does it make them SMILE?
</li>
<li>        And more importantly&#8230; do they believe they can get value out of their association with you, and in what way can you make a difference in their lives?</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you answered &quot;no&quot; to 5 or more of those questions, chances are your profile needs a serious upgrade to make it worth your time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>FB Commandment #2: Thou Shall Have Videos And Photos<span id="more-2382"></span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why? Because people can&#8217;t get enough of them. It&#8217;s true that people probably look at themselves more than anyone else they know, but the 2nd most viewed person are they&#8217;re friends and family.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To get a little more exposure, tag your friends in the photos to let them know you&#8217;re thinking about them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be shy&#8230; upload a few photo&#8217;s of yourself at the very least. In the digital age it&#8217;s unacceptable NOT to have at least 2 or 3 pictures of yourself up, because cheap digital cameras are to easy to come by.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>FB Commandment #3: Thou Shall Join Facebook Groups</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because the more groups you join, the more exposure and connections you create with people in your target market. This gives you authority and makes you accessible. Start your own group and be a leader to increase your reach.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This creates serious leverage because people in your group generally trust and respect your opinions and therefore are likely to extend your reach to their friends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>FB Commandment #4: Thou Shall Take Advantage Of the Facebook Wall</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The easiest way to build your brand is to consistently post new videos, tips, advice, articles etc. to keep your image in the public eye.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Respond to other peoples wall posts and give a meaningful response to their messages. This makes them feel appreciated and they will generally respond back, which shows up on their wall, generating interest in your profile.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I hope this guide has been of good value to you and your online business. Facebook is by far the best gift to mankind since the dawn of the computer and Google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Follow these 4 commandments and I&#8217;m confident you will get the traffic you want, build the relationships you&#8217;re looking for, and make the money you need to pay your bills.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
