Writing Powerful Content for Readers and Search Engines!

It's important to capture the attention of your readers quickly in any writings that you do. There's no better place than in the title of your article. Try to use two or three of your keywords in the title if at all possible. Many people look at the title and make a choice of whether to read any further or not. By making your title keyword specific you can target a broader reading audience much quicker.

Some writers feel that the longer the title of an article the better. The length of your title doesn't really matter as long as long as you capture the attention of your reading audience and they continue to read your article to the end. Try to put yourself in the mind of your readers and think as they would think about what you're trying to convey to the masses.

There are hundreds of article online discussing every topic one can imagine. Your only edge to get people to read your article may be the targeted title you finally end up with and publish. The title is the first thing people look at so be very careful when deciding what you end up using for a title.

Once you've got the title that will captivate the attention of your readers, then you must focus on the content of your writing. You are not writing a mystery novel here so don't keep your readers in suspense. In your first paragraph be specific about what you're writing about using keywords that best describes your thoughts that can be found in the content of your article. Unless you get to the point rather quickly, your readers will quickly exit your writings and go to a competitor's article that may captures their attention.

An equally important element that must be considered is the acceptance of your writings by the search engines. Writing for page rankings with the search engines is vitally important to a successful marketing campaign. The content of each site, blog, forum or article should be focused on pleasing the search engines with proper formatting as well as good keyword specific copy. A good rule of thumb is to use 5-7 keywords or keyword phrases well positioned in your article that are specific to your subject matter. Don't use any keyword more than about 5 times in the full content of your article. Avoid keyword stuffing at all cost.

Be extremely cautious not to overdo the amount of keywords in your article. There are varied opinions by optimization specialist regarding what percentage is acceptable with the search engine without getting nailed for keyword stuffing and spamming. Some say from 3-5% is the maximum you should consider while others may go as high as 10% saturation of keywords to total word content. My personal opinion is why take the chance ….try to stay more to the low side with 5-6% ratios for acceptable saturation guidelines.

Be specific rather than using examples and metaphors. The search engines are robots not humans so you must be specific with good relevant keywords and phrases in all of your content.

Use short paragraphs for the benefit of your readers. Many individuals scan read and will read only the first few words of a paragraph. Your reading audience online is totally different than if you were writing a book. People on line are looking for answers to specific questions that are affecting their lives right now. If they want to read about witches and goblins they can go to Barnes and Noble and buy volumes of that type of reading material.

With the information available on line today people will spend an incredible amount of time skimming over volumes of material on any given subject before making a final choice for any purchase. Knowing this before you write will give you a competitive edge and a whole new perspective on how you write. Use this information to your advantage. Writing in small chunks will help those readers who skim read and permit them to make their choices much quicker than having to read volumes of unrelated information. Many people will read your title and closing remarks and then make a choice of whether to read the content of your article or not.

Write your articles in plain and simple English so your readers will feel totally comfortable reading what you have to say. Once you start getting technical, using fancy words or getting political you will lose a good share of your reading audience immediately.

Once you've stated your case and told your story about your product or service in the main content area of your site or article, then do a short recap at the end to help simplify the process of choices for the readers to buy or not to buy. You are reinforcing features stated in your article and many readers will remember only two things in this whole process which is the title of your article and the conclusion area of your writing.

In Conclusion: Write a captivating title using two or three keyword specific title for each article relative to the content you've written about in your content area. Use keywords and phrases in the content area with a reasonable percentage of keywords to total words ratio used in the article. Make it easy for your reader to scan read making the purchasing process a more positive outcome. Do a summary, conclusion or overview of your article and ask for the order in some form of a bi-line section found at the bottom of the article.

Promote Your Business by Writing Good Copy!

There's a whole new breed of internet users joining the internet workforce looking for independence, flexibility of schedule and freedom to spend more time with the kids and family. Maybe your intent is to make enough money to take a dream vacation to the islands that up till now has evaded you and your loved ones. Whatever your reasons for your new online venture, the needs to follow a blueprint to success is important. Writing will help you accomplish your goals.

The internet is a tremendous resource of information with literally millions of website offering every kind of opportunity imaginable. The big question for most people is "where do I start" in order to make this venture a successful, rewarding journey? Most individuals don't have a clue of where to begin so don't feel you're alone if you've ask yourself such a question.

We all started in this business right where you are now, so don't get discouraged. I can vividly recall when I first started, I didn't even know how to turn on a computer, let alone try to market online. I was in my early 60's, retired, and looking for something to do so I could keep up with the cost of inflation and make some extra spending money to support my golf habit and other interest.

I had no clue of what to do, so I did what I knew best and that was to do my due diligence on anything regarding how to market online. I sought the advice of what appeared to be some online professionals. Someone who would teach me what I needed to know about marketing correctly, effectively and without all the hype that appeared to go with many of the offering I had seen in my beginning days of online activities.

One of the things I learned early on in my research was that writing is an important element in building a successful online presence that was necessary to learn if I was to become successful. Like most people I felt that I had no ability to write anything that would capture someone's attention. So I didn't take it seriously at all. I knew I could sell because that's what I had done all through my working career.

Little did I realize that writing was the quickest, most affordable and effective way to promote any online business opportunity! I had to learn how to write. I was privileged to set in some writing classes by Dr. Forte who had a natural ability in teaching the art and science of "writing to win." She taught me to just be myself and write like I think and talk in my regular normal everyday conversations. Don't put on any fluff on who you are, what you know or what you've done in the past. Live in the here and now and write what you feel that's affecting your life at this present moment. Thanks Dr. Forte for your guidance.

Writing good copy is the key to online success. Whether you're writing copy for your website, a blog or an article for publication in an article directory, the need to convey your message effectively to the masses is a critical element one must master. You must put yourself in the reader's shoes and write what is important about your product or service and how with your opportunity you can help solve important issues in your reader's life.

If you're attempting to provide solutions for the younger generation, talking about something for the old folks is of no value. You must have a target audience in mind when you start your explanation of your product or service and be cautious not to vary to far from that audience.

You must make your presentation compelling in an effort to motivate your readers to join you in your opportunity. You must answer important questions that may be ask about your product or services. Knowing who your reading audience is will help you write some compelling emails, blogs, forum and articles that will capture their attention and keep their attention to the very end of your writings.

Showing how your product or service can benefit your reader can be enhanced by using some powerful, relevant keywords and phrases regarding your business opportunity. Writing content for a website is somewhat different than writing for blogs or articles you're going to be publishing. You may need to do some extra research to fine tune your thought process for writing often about your services.

Keep your articles to single page format if at all possible. Give information, however, don't get too technical. If someone wants more specific technical information let them personally do that research on the subject matter in question. Give your readers enough information to draw them in.

It's imperative that you check your spelling and grammar in every one of your writings. This will give you credibility and give you the appearance of being a professional and your reading audience will be more apt to stick around and read your complete article. Avoid writing with the intent of making your information appear as an infomercial. Giving good information will automatically entice your reader to become involved with you and your business.

There are individuals who can help you learn to write together with as some inexpensive software that can be very helpful in learning the art and science of learning to write. Just remember what I've suggested in some of my other articles. "You Learn To Write By Writing"! The more you write the better you will become in expressing yourself in the written word. Writing will help you build your business quicker than any other single method you can do in your promotional efforts.

Should You Write Your Own Content?

The content of your website should fully detail what your business opportunity is all about. If must describe your opportunity in simple yet non technical wording that the average reader can easily follow and understand. Having a lengthy content that is more hype than facts is a major turn off to most users. Your content must cover a broad spectrum of information yet be non threatening and pushy in the opinion of the user. The internet was designed to provide realistic information about products and services so trying to use the internet for strictly an automatic sales tool will probably backfire and blow up in your face.

Your content in your website, blog, forum or marketing article should be designed with the user in mind providing information that in relevant to the desires and needs of the end user. Of course in this process you must keep in mind the search engines and provide good relevant content so the search engines can index your site in the proper keyword categories. Your content should be well written and interesting enough to capture the attention of your readers and keep their interest to the last words of your writing.

If you write an article with good relevant content clearly explaining the features and benefits of your business opportunity will definitely improve the chances of the readers being interested enough in your writings to visit your website and see the full details of what you are offering. The more traffic you can generate to your site the greater chance of developing a new clients business. New clients spend money and isn't that what this gig is all about? Making money online will become the huge reward for a job well done.

By writing some great articles with good rich content you will start to see the search engines displaying your website higher and higher in the page ranking when users type in their queries in the search bar of Google, Yahoo and Bing and some of the other fine search engines, the search engines will soon display your site with higher replies based on the good keywords you've used in your writings.

Many people can't write or maybe just don't want to write articles or content for their websites. That's fine as long as you get someone to write for you. There are ghost writers who make a living online by writing good content for multiple clients. Either you must write or hire someone to do it for you since this is how the search engines indexes every site you see online. Needless to say a ghost writer may not be as familiar with what you need to publish as you are, however, some content is better than no content in this scenario.

Once you learn the art and science of marketing and incorporate article writing into your daily chores you will see substantial results in your website popularity, your link popularity will increase remarkably and you will start getting hits to your site in larger numbers. Make sure you are prepared for this influx of traffic and potential clients. Know your product or services like the back of your hand and be well informed about your competition. The one who has the most knowledge, affordable products and follow up support will be the business who will capture the new customers business.

If you hire a writer you can get some good writers that will charge a minimal fee for their writing services. Fees will run from 4-5 dollars for a 250 word article to maybe $10 for an 800-900 word article. If you consider your time valuable at all, this is an affordable alternative you may want to consider. These writers can be found easily on line with varying degrees of knowledge. A good ghost writer will do the research, write the article, proofread and even let you take the credit for the content. What a deal!

When you contact these writers, most of them are more than willing to send you some samples of their recent writings. Ask them to email you one of their latest articles and question their credentials of success.

In Conclusion: Learn to write and write often. If you don't like to write or just don't have the time then by all means hire the services of a good ghost writer. If you need professional help then don't hesitate to ask for some help. Going this road alone may result in a huge disaster, however, letting the professionals help you when you need it can be extremely rewarding.

Identifying the Right Keywords!

Identifying the right keywords for your next website or promotional campaign is a critical step in the overall success. Since the search engines places such great emphasis on good rich relevant keywords in their algorithms, it become vitally important to have the very best keywords and keyword phrases in every campaign you do. Identifying the keyword that best described your opportunity and are specific to your business is always the best, however, if the keyword or phrases is too competitive you may want to rethink your choices of the keyword(s) you want to use in your promotion.

A good way to find keyword choices is to visit some of your competitors sites and see what keywords they are promoting. Making a list of your products or services will help you get a better handle on what you may need to pursue for your keywords. Less popular keywords are sometimes easier to earn higher ranking much quicker than going for the most popular words and terms. Using different variations of a keyword or phrase sometimes will work well for your current promotion. Using hyphenated words, plurals and synonyms can give you a broader base of popular keywords that is overlooked many times by your competition.

If all else fails you might want to consider using some form of Keyword Tool designed to help you in this chore of selecting the right keywords. If you don't want to spend the money, then you might want to contact your mentor, consultant or webmaster and see if they have such a program they could do this chore for you and you could pay them a small service fee. Don't be afraid to spend some money once in a while and get professional help as needed. The overall differences you experience with just this one example could generate enough additional income and traffic to justify what you paid for this information.

Next you must address the way you are going to use these keywords in your overall campaign as well as in the content of your website. Make sure you include some of your keywords in the title meta tag, the description meta tag and of course in the keyword meta tag area of your source code. If you don't understand where these elements are and what their purpose is, then by all means seek the assistance of your marketing professional. These areas are the first place the search engines spiders look so they can index your site in the proper categories in order to match your site to the queries submitted by internet users who search for your business opportunity.

Placing your keywords strategically throughout the content of your website is another way to get the search engines to rank your website higher. Make sure you use some of your most important keywords in the first paragraph of your website. This will also help in the page rankings of your site.

Any one of these simple suggestions will help your ranking positions, however by using all of these small details the overall effectiveness of your campaign will be enhanced substantially. By using some form of a meta tag generator this process can be simplified considerably. Again if you don't want to spend the money for such a program, then secure the services of your marketing professional. If you're going to stay in this business and do a lot of promoting then either way your money will be well spent.

Now that you've gone through the process of doing some extensive keyword research, made sure you've positioned your selected keywords and phrases in the proper place within your source code and content of your website and you're totally comfortable with your new website, now comes the ongoing chore of promoting your website on the internet.

It is recommended that you hand index your URL to the top three search engines on any new site or information you're promoting. Since a high percentage of people search the big three I limit my submission to those three only and submit them manually. Then with some my automated systems I will include some more of the other popular engines with an automated submission.

Since it takes normally 4-6 weeks or longer for many of the search engines to spider a site and include the information of that new site in their data base, it's important to hand index to some engines in order to get a head start on the waiting period mentioned above. Re-submissions on a regular monthly basis is highly recommended so your site will remain fresh in front of the search engine robots. Submitting to the engines more frequently than the 30 day recommendations may result in the search engines considering it as spamming and the search engines will penalize you severally. In severe cases the engines will ban your website from the internet for a year or more.

In Conclusion....Do your keyword research thoroughly and make sure you include your primary keywords in the title, description and keyword tags in the source code of your site. Include your keywords and phrases in the content of your website and avoid keyword stuffing. Promote your site to the search engines on a regular basis each month. If you need help don't be ashamed to ask for help from the professionals.

Article Marketing vs Conventional Promotion Methods!

In many of our articles in the last few weeks we've been sharing with you some valuable information about marketing in general. Many of our articles have been about Article Marketing and the role many experts feel this segment of online marketing will play in the next big internet boom. In today's article we want to get more specific about how Article Marketing can affect the popularity of your business opportunity with the user as well as the search engines. Of course the main goal here is to maximize efforts for generating additional traffic and converting new traffic into paying customers.

The question is often asks "What is Article Marketing Anyway?" I think it can be best described as a method of promoting your business opportunity through a website, blog or other electronic media for the purpose of generating more targeted traffic to your website, then converting those new found prospects into sales for your products or service, subscribers to your newsletter or followers in general that one day may become your next best customer.

In my opinion Article Marketing has a twofold purpose. First of all this method of marketing is an excellent way to consistently provide new content to your website, blog, newsletter or other forms of promotion activities that you normally would use to promote your business opportunity.

Second of all you are attempting to capture the attention of the two most important segments of online marketing. First of all the user who hopefully will be turned on with your good relevant information and purchase your products or services and secondly the Search Engines whose job it is to place your website in a high page rank positions so when users look for your niche market in a Google search you will be positioned such that you will generate additional business and income as a result of the information you provided in your articles.

Keeping your potential clients informed with new articles providing solutions regarding the customer's immediate needs will sometimes make the big difference regarding the success or failure of your business. By writing good keyword rich articles the search engines will pick up your information as new content and move your page ranks up to where your site will be seen more by the users. Article marketing through directories has been the most powerful marketing tool I've been privileged to use compared to other conventional method of promotion I've ever used in the past.

By capturing the attention of the big three search engines and gaining those coveted high positions with Google. Yahoo and Bing you will experience a growth that other methods of promotion can't compete with. One huge advantage here is the quality and quantity of the links that this form of promotion generates. By publishing your articles in an Article Directory you will experience an ever increasing number of back links that will make your site more popular and recognizable by the search engines as well as being read by more potential prospects.

The increase in the amount of traffic to your site is dependent on several different factors.

1. Does your topic of your article cover important information about your product or services or is your content more of a general discussion format?

2. Have you targeted a particular segment of the market, or again have you become too generalized in your writings about your business opportunity?

3. Is there a fair percentage of the market that has a need for what you're trying to promote and writing about? If there is no market for your service, you're wasting your time.

4. What is the competition for your product or service and can you compete for the users business with quality products and competitive prices?

There are no specific answers to these generalized questions since every marketing campaign it totally different and has their own unique characteristics. It's going to take some research on your part to set some specific values for your campaign and find the answers regarding your specific opportunity.

Article Directories has made this process so much easier than it used to be. Owning your own article directory is the answer that many successful marketers have chosen as their ultimate solution for promoting and marketing their businesses online.

These owners are experiencing some extremely positive results with their own articles popularity as well as with other professional authors who have signed up in their directory and have become contributing authors as well. With the amount of different categories offered in an article directory you can target a larger number of different segments of the marketplace that otherwise have been untouchable with conventional methods of advertising and promotion.

Take advantage of the RSS feeds in these directories and see your business take on new directions you never even dreamed about. If you're not familiar with all the advantages of Article Directories then take some time and do a bit of research and see if this method of promotion will work for you and your business.

In Conclusion....Take a really serious look at the advantages of Article Marketing and see for yourself how owning your own Article Directory can assist you in new avenues of profit and success in your business.

If the process of SEO was so easy why is it that only the best show up on page one of Google out of literally millions of site responses?

There are outlines available of what is important when optimizing a website and those suggestions should be followed closely. This would be a good starting point for someone new to Search Engine Optimization arena and who wants to learn basics of the process.

Learn to Write and Publish Your Work for Profit!

One proven way to promote your business opportunity effectively is to write about what you do in simple yet informative blogs, forums and articles. There are experts who feel that article marketing is the most powerful, affordable and focused medium to promote any online business. Writing articles for some folks is an easy process while others struggle with the task of putting their thoughts in words on paper or electronically. Forcing yourself to write when you don't feel like writing is a quick turn off for most marketers.

Nothing says you must write an article every day. I personally write at least one informative article every day and it comes pretty natural now that I've been doing it for awhile. When I first started an online business I was told I needed to learn to write and it was quite a chore for me to fulfill the demands that I put on myself, however, when I relaxed and focused my thought process on what I wanted to convey to my readers the process became so much easier.

Not everyone can write and there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't feel that you can write, then pay a ghost writer to write for you. There are some excellent writers out there that can write some powerful copy but they can't market worth a hoot. Do what you do best. If you can market and can't seem to get the hang of writing then let someone else write for you.

Recent reports indicate that article marketing is a sure fire way of promoting any product or service online so use this medium to promote your business quickly and effectively.

In the rest of this article I want to share with you some of the basics that will help you become the writer you need to be…..to succeed. You may never win some fancy awards for your writing but you can gain "Top Positions on Google" and other fine search engines simply by writing articles on a consistent basis and publishing those writing online. The search engines love new keyword rich content about any subject so choose a subject that you're passionate about and just start writing about what you know and how you think and talk. You learn to write by writing!

Try your hand at writing a simple article just for the heck of it about any subject you feel important to you right now. Keep your article and review it in a few days and modify it with some new ideas you may have thought of since you wrote the original article.

Be sure and save your writings because there is a thought process that you've just gone through that you may never experience again in your life. The next time you write you may use your previous writing as an outline and come up with a masterpiece…who knows. Publish all of your writings in an article directory….better yet own your own article directory.

Keep in mind that your article needs some form of structure. I like to retro my thought process back to my high school days and use the five w's that they taught us to use for writings in English class. Who, What, When, Where and Why or how. This same format that was used years ago is still a viable method you can use when constructing a blog, posting to a forum or writing an article for publication.

I like to have a general idea of what the title of my article will be based on the subject matter I want to write about before I start to write, however, I do not name my article until I am completely finished with my writing. This allows me some leave way in writing as well as allowing me to name the title more relevant to what my finished writing evolved into. There's no cut in stone way to write since we are all so different and we each have a different delivery of our thoughts when writing. Just be yourself, write from the heart, be straight forward and descriptive about your subject matter should work for you....it always works for me.

The latest trend of owning your own article directory is an excellent way for you to have access to a directory for submissions for all your writings. You're always in control of your admin panel and if you don't like the outcome of an article you can change it. Other authors will also sign up in your directory and submit to your article directory too. By having your own directory it's a powerful way to build links and back links to your primary business website.

In Conclusion…There is no better time to learn to write than right now. Write about what you know, be truthful and thoughtful of whatever you may be writing about. Practice makes perfect so keep all your writing for future reference and don't hesitate to update your articles with your latest thoughts on a regular basis. Consider owning your own article directory and experience the full benefits of what this one affordable asset can do for your overall marketing results.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in your writing challenges. Call today for your free 30 minutes consultation and see if you qualify for your own article directory.

Promote Your Business Opportunity by Writing Good Copy!

There are many reasons why people use the internet to promote their business opportunity online. The reasons are varied, however, there is a commonality to all and that's to generate traffic to their website. There are numerous ways you can promote your business on line which we will discuss later in this article but the focus should always be to generate more traffic. Without traffic to your site your online business will die an agonizing death rather quickly. This is substantiated by recent figures that only a small percentage of people actually succeed on line. Recent figures show that 95% of all businesses on line fail within the first few month of their inception.

These are some staggering figures…..but are absolutely real. Why does so many fail online? The answer is rather simple….really…..it's because most people don't know how to market online. They may have been in sales before in a former job, however, marketing is so much different than selling. You're not on a face to face presentation with your prospective client online, you are communicating with them through the silent media of the internet.

Knowing how to communicate through the written word is the way you must learn to market online whatever opportunity you may be involved with. This requires you to learn to write, write effectively and write often.

The search engines places a huge amount of weight in their algorithms on good keyword rich content in your website. Being second best in your explanations are not acceptable. Being second is best described as being the "first loser." Learning how to write good copy comes by learning the basics of writing and then using those skills to perfect your writing skills even more.

Writing good copy for your website is just the beginning of your venture in marketing. You may want to leave the content in your site as it is and promote your site by writing articles, blogging, posting to forum or publishing a newsletter every week or so. The possibilities are endless here. However, each of these marketing suggestions requires some form of writing.

When writing about any subject pay particular attention to details and make sure you do adequate research and become totally familiar with your subject matter. Being fully informed about your product or services is imperative if you want to capture your reading audience's attention and keep it.

You might want to start out writing about something that you're very familiar with. Maybe you could write about something that you worked with for the last several years before starting your own online business. Someone will always be drawn to your writings if the writings are factual, written honestly and presented well.

By writing what is important to you and coming off as an expert in your subject matter you will almost immediately have a following of avid readers that will look to you for information about your subject. Brushing up on some of the finer part of your subject will give you new direction as you progress in your writings. As we've mentioned in some of our other articles, write from the heart and write exactly as you talk. Forget the big words and technical talk, just say it like it is and your readers will be more than grateful for your honesty and straight forward approach.

Keep your writings up to date with current information and what's currently happening in the industry you're writing about. It's so easy to get off subject and start rambling in your writings. You don't have to include everything you think you know in one article. Make it a three part series if need be. Keep the reader coming back to view new and exciting information.

Writing is a process that leads a reader on a path of progression of event which leads to the resource box at the end with your pertinent contact information, links to your opportunity and a little about you the author. This is where you can put your sales abilities to work by offering your readers the help they are looking for.

The internet is all about information and the more precise your writings are, the more your readers will come back to visit your site. Remember it takes on the average seven times for a person to review your information before they will make a choice to participate with you and your opportunity or click off and end up at your competitors site.

In Conclusion….The quicker you learn the art and science of writing, the quicker you will generate more traffic to your website. Few of us like to write…. but in this business writing is imperative to some degree however elementary you think it may be. If you don't know how to write and need some professional help, let us know.

Writing for the User and the Search Engines!

Writing is something many of us really don't enjoy and most of us don't think we can write worth a hoot anyway. Writing the latest best seller novel isn't something that is regarded as one of our top priorities of doing today either. However, writing can become your next best friend especially if you're in business on the internet. Writing doesn't come natural for most of us and is an art and science that must be learned. The internet is all about information and writing is one way you can get your message to the masses who may be interested in your products or services.

When I'm helping people online become successful marketers one of the most important things I stress to my students is they must learn to write. How do you do that without having to go back to college and take a class in writing? I tell all my students "you learn to write by writing." If you write from the heart and write like you talk your message will be heard loud and clear by your readers.

Your writings whether in an email, copy in your website or an information article, put your thoughts in simple and plain language that readers will feel comfortable reading. Forget the big fancy words that many writers use trying to impress their reading audience about how smart they think they are. Be straight forward, truthful and above all be passionate and well informed about your subject matter. Using language that is questionable and rambling will be a turnoff to most readers. Keep it short and simple, yet informative.

Keep your writings to a reading level that will reach the greatest number of readers. The average working individual is who you're going to be writing for. Those who are technical and think they know everything already probably won't be interested in your writings anyway. Writing information that is above the reading potential and comprehension is of absolutely no value to you or the reader.

Capturing your reader's attention should be accomplished early on in your writings. The title is important and must contain at least a couple of keywords about your opportunity. Short titles may not give your reading audience enough information to make a choice of whether to read more of your article or click off and go somewhere else. On the other hand having your title to long will be nothing more than overkill. Try to word your title and capture the reader's attention quickly and make them want to know more about your information and your opinion on a particular subject matter.

The title is the first and sometimes the last thing your reader even remembers about your article so it must be powerful and compelling. You want your reader to be smitten to read more about what's in your writing. You must create a suspense that can be answered in a few short sentences in your writings not a lengthy autobiography. You must spark an interest and maintain their attention quickly or the reader will simply click off your information and go to their next item of interest.

Not only is it important to capture the reader's attention but it imperative to get the attention of the search engines so your page will be ranked high when a user queries your particular subject matter. Your goal in writing is to get the search engines and users alike to look for your information. This is done by writing good keyword rich relevant content and posting your opportunity correctly online. By writing with about a 3 to 5% keyword to content ratio you will fulfill the needs of the search engines and the user without appearing to be spamming either of them. If you need help with this process, contact an optimization specialist and learn to do it correctly. Avoid spam at all cost you'll be glad you did.

Writing for success on the internet is much different than writing a book. Keep you paragraphs short and concise. Forget all hype, smoke and mirrors and tell it just like it is.

Make it simple for your readers to scan read if possible. Many online readers will merely scan the article to see if there is something they need to look at closer. Make it simple for them to catch the high points of your story and make it appealing enough for them to come back and read your article in more detail. Writing in small chunks will make it easier for all of your readers to follow and understand what you're trying to convey in your writing.

Having the last paragraph of your article as the conclusion paragraph is an excellent way to have a quick summary for this type of reading audience. This will also indelibly burn the subject matter of your writing into the minds of your average reader. Make it short and sweet covering the high points of your article and don't make it appear your re-writing the article.

Writing is a process that must be learned, developed and practiced on a regular basis. Since the internet is all about information, this is a natural way to promote your product or service for the world to see. You might want to consider adding your own article directory into your own marketing system.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in adding your own personal article directory in your system today. Call us for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.

Online Marketing for the Age 50+ Entrepreneurs!

It has been said that the age 50+ segment of our workforce is the fastest growing group of people starting new home based businesses. There are varied opinions on why this trend is happening. Many feel that time conflicts are an important issue, trying to balance between work and pleasure is more important now than ever before. Many of the over 50 + group are not considered as being wealthy, however, they have lived a frugal life and been able to amass enough savings and assets that their needs are totally different from the younger generation who is replacing them in the workforce.

We've all had dreams of being our own boss, work on a schedule that fits our likes and dislikes and not be pressured by the big business demands for more of our time and not paying us what we're worth. How many of you reading this article can relate to this scenario?

If you're looking for a product or service to market online there are a few things you need to consider before you make the big plunge. When you think you've found that niche market that appeals to you, there are some serious questions you need to ask yourself before you proceed. Is this business appealing enough to get my attention and keep it? Will it be lucrative enough to fulfill my financial need and desires and still give me the liberty to live life as I like!

Nothing can kill your desires for success than being involved with a product or service that you absolutely detest. If this happens you might as well have stayed in your boring corporate job answering to some young whipper snapper that's not even dry behind the ears yet.

A good beginning for choosing exactly the right venture would be to find some segment of the market or an idea that you truly enjoy. This desire may have evolved from your former business association or possibly from one of your favorite hobbies. Choosing this type of venture makes a lot of sense simply because you have an interest in that particular product or service. One example may be you've enjoyed music for years and you play a guitar as a hobby. Your love for music could be the launching pad for your new business.

You need to take into consideration whether the income you feel you can generate will be enough to offset the expenses of getting started as well as maintaining your lifestyle for an uncertain period of time. Many businesses fail in the first three to five years so be prepared to suffer some setbacks, mentally, physiologically and possibly financially. Your income potential must be a direct proportion to what you're willing to put on the line and could possibly even lose your original investment. There are no guarantees in this business so be prepared to make some serious choices. Try to choose wisely.

Consider your startup cost, analysis who your competition is and if there may be an above average change of losing all or part of your savings you're investing. Since a good number of our working years is behind us we must consider many variables before that final commitment. Some of us don't have that many good years left anyway.

If you're married and you've always shared in the financial decisions during your married life, then by all mean get the feedback from your better half. This is a venture that will affect you and your spouse and may be the deciding factor of marriage troubles in the future. Shooting craps at this stage of our life is something that most of us may not be comfortable with. Financial security becomes more important to most of us as we grow older.

If you need to seek the services of a professional accountant, financial advisor, marketing consultant then by all mean do so. The time and money you save will be well spent. It's been said that paying for this type of service early on in the starting a new online business may well be the best money you will ever spend.

As we grow older the physical demands sometimes may be difficult to accept. Our energy levels are lower than they used to be, however, your mind is what you need to be using now more than your back. You may be working 12 to 14 hours a day to begin with and your mind may be able to take it but your body may say "no way." Be prepared to establish a happy medium between these two critical issues of your life.

The whole purpose of this change in your life is to make your life more enjoyable and fulfilling. Find a niche market that will let you do exactly that. If you love technology then try to find a venture that fits that interest of your life. If you hate technology then why choose such a challenge that probably will bug you even more later on.

In this age of technology you must consider the computers, the internet, wireless gadgets and purchasing of software that is going to be expensive that you may not be accustom to paying for on a regular basis. If you don't want to be bothered with learning how to use all this new fan dangled equipment then be prepared to secure the services of professional that know how to do it for you. The only two choices you have here are that you either learn the process or hire someone who knows the process to do it for you. Time is money and money can buy time from the professionals.

If office procedures have been a challenge in the past, then you need to hire someone who is qualified for the task at hand. If you want to learn some of processes of online marketing then you can expect to encounter challenges that may have a steep learning curve for many individuals. Be prepared to pull out some hair if you have any left at our age. This is just part of the business for promoting online.

Be extremely cautious about getting involved in any type of franchise. With a franchise you will have to commit to a long term commitment and then give a percentage of your business to the company who you purchased the franchise from. If you do choose a franschise, by all means get a good attorney who specializes in franchises.

The information in this article is not to discourage anyone from pursuing their lifelong dreams, but has been an attempt to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that every new individual faces when starting a new online venture.

Powerful Results Using Article Marketing!

If we attempted to write a brief description about the benefits of article marketing and expound briefly on each feature we would have an endless book of information about this remarkable method of promoting your online business. Article Marketing is probably one of the best ways to build a solid online business as we've discussed in some of our recent articles. Article Marketing could well be the next big dot com boom of the future.

The affordability of article marketing is priceless because "it's free!!" If you write articles, there are many publishers that will publish your writings to several other publishers who subscribe to their services. These publishers are always on the lookout for good keyword rich articles covering virtually any subject you may choose to write about.

There are also paid services that you can pay a small fee and your articles will be distributed to countless other publishers for distribution. There are also many online users who are constantly looking for information articles regarding their product or service that are downloadable and re-publish them in other websites, forums, blogs and newsletters.

Anyone who downloads your writings and republishes your work must leave your article exactly as it is written including the bio section which contains your contact information and links to your assets. Talk about building quality links to your business, what a concept.

Using this method of advertising and building your business around this remarkable process makes a lot of sense because it doesn't cost you an arm and leg to make it work for you. You will be able to see some outstanding results almost immediately when using article marketing as one of your main marketing tools to promote your business opportunity.

The search engines love articles with fresh new relevant content and you will see your page ranking increase to new and exciting heights. I personally have several blogs, articles and directories which are holding generic page one rankings with Google and other fine search engines.

The key to any successful marketing campaign is to generate a lot of traffic to your website. Article marketing is one of methods I use to effectively promote traffic to my site. The more traffic visiting your site, the more conversions will occur….which means more profits. You know the drill. Without tons of traffic, you will soon fail and failure is not an option in my world.

By adding an article directory of your own primary website is a powerful method of providing new content to your site on a consistent basis. Not only will the articles you write be added to your directory but other professional authors will be contributing their work to your directory as well. The search engines love this concept.

Since other website owners, webmasters, publishers and article directory editors are constantly on the prowl for new articles and content you will find literally thousands of downloads being done right from your personal system. Of course each of these downloads has your links which must remain intact and you begin to build more links than you ever thought possible. Talk about viral marketing….this is it at its finest.

Article marketing is more than just promoting your business opportunity. If your campaign is done correctly you will have loads of users who will be downloading your information and republishing your content to their own websites, blogs and other areas which in turn will help promote your business 24/7 of every day.

This is a natural occurrence because each one of the downloaded articles from your directory has your link(s) in the bio section and that section must remain intact without exception as we pointed out earlier. Your resource box should contain a brief description about you and your website with links that will point the reader to your business opportunity.

This should contribute to a lot of publicity about you and your business thus increasing your online exposure and help you generate some laser focused targeted traffic back to your site. This is a natural progression of events creating good publicity to your site for the users as well as recognition by the search engines for page rankings.

By utilizing the concept of article marketing you will build a reputation of being an expert on any given subject. Your readers will soon look to you as an authority in whatever your niche market may be. There are no limits on the number of articles you can write and publish. The more you write the more popular you and your business will become. What a wonderful concept that can be developed into one of the most powerful marketing tools that you will ever use in the promotion of your business opportunity.

There is a long term effect to this concept that will last for months and even years because these are permanent links that you have generated pointing to your opportunity. Unlike pay per click ads where once you quit paying every month your ads stop. Article Marketing links are like the energizer bunny… they just keep going and working forever because they are permanent links.

Article marketing has been around for awhile and is by no means a new idea for promoting your business opportunity. However, most people don't use article marketing as one of their marketing venues simply because they don't understand how this whole concept works. Now you can learn from the experts the true value of article marketing and start building a strong foundation for your business starting today.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in building your own personal Article Directory using the most powerful script being offered online today. Call today for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.

Marketing the Right Products or Services Online!

The question is often ask, "What can I sell online and make money?" There are literally thousands if not millions of business opportunities that maintain a strong presence on the internet. Some of these companies are privately owned and are considered small business by most standards. There are other companies that we all recognize their name or their brand because we see their advertisements on TV, hear their ads on the radio and clip coupons from the Sunday paper for discount coupons for some of their promotions.

According to most marketing experts, you should possibly look for a niche market to start your first online business. Others recommend participating in multiple affiliate programs. The recommendations are as vast as the industry itself. As an individual you must look for something that fits your style and that you're comfortable with if you're going to become a successful online marketer.

Once you decided what niche market you want to pursue as a business, then comes the fun part. Learning as much as you can about a particular product or service is imperative. You must become an expert in your field and know you're product like the back of your hand. Laser focus your thought process to cover even the smallest details that someone may question in the future. Be able to live, eat and sleep information about your product or service.

If you are going to pursue a well known product you may have to work even a bit harder than normal. Competition is brutal when you're trying to market a popular product. Try to find a less popular product and learn everything about your product, your competition and try to find a vendor who is willing to work with you on a fair wholesale pricing structure, question their drop shipping availability and pay close attention to the support any company you deal with can provide.

Once you've established the niche market you want to promote online, finalized your purchasing needs, established your banking connections, now you're ready to face the challenges of promoting your business opportunity.

Building a nice looking website and putting it online is merely the first step in marketing your product. You must be aware of what the search engines require to meet their algorithms for submissions and page rankings. There are varied opinions by some "so called" experts who know how to build a website with all the fancy flash, scrolling text, pictures and videos; however, they don't have a clue about how to market online. This doesn't mean their stupid; they are just uninformed about marketing in general. Seek the advice of a marketing professional if you're in question of any of the comments in these writings.

Early on in this venture, it may be to your advantage to find a search engine optimization specialist and let them get you started in the right direction before you waste a lot of time and money on worthless junk marketing programs that are built around smoke and mirrors and have nothing to do with good marketing procedures. Trying to hype your product will kill any possibilities of success on any product or service you're trying to promote.

A couple of things to consider here would be…is your product popular and in demand and if so what percentage of the market can you realistically expect to capture. If the percentages are low then you may want to consider another product or service. If you decide on the low percentage product then you may have to consider promoting multiple products in order to make enough money to survive. Even though you're up against less competition with products that are not as well known, sometimes a specialized niche product just might not be the right one to promote especially if you're just starting your online business. This is going to require a lot of research and hard choices to get it exactly right, however, with commitment, and persistence you can overcome some huge road blocks.

With niche products and services you will automatically get some visitors and many of these visitors will become loyal followers. The more relevant quality keyword rich information you provide the more your users will learn to trust you and become avid followers of your business opportunity. Once you penetrate the niche market you will see tons of referrals that could well become your next group of paying customers.

Trends change often in this digital world and what may be popular as today's hot item may fast become obsolete by this time next week. If you're going to be marketing any kind of electronics make sure you keep up with the latest models or you'll be stuck with a lot of obsolete inventory that can evolve into next Christmas's gifts to your family and loved ones.

It is recommended that you do a lot of research and become educated on two or three different possibilities that you may eventually be interested in marketing. That way if one of these niche markets suddenly falls then you already have another direction you can pursue. Any time you spend doing this type of research is time well spent and could possibly save you tons of time in the future.

If you need some help in getting started on this incredible journey called the internet, then feel free to contact any of our eBiz Solutions Team and let them assist you in your marketing challenges. Call today for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.

Online Failure Is Not An Option!

Many would be online marketers never experience the joys of working for themselves because they are afraid of failure. Don't be afraid to fail....we all learn from our personal mistakes and then pick up the pieces and try again avoiding the pitfalls that made the venture fail in the beginning. It's a great personal satisfaction to work for ourselves and be able to enjoy the rewards of a job well done.

Working from home takes a special breed of individual to make it all happen. You naturally want your business to be successful, that's a natural instinct. You must be committed that failure is not one of your options in this venture. Finding the right direction to pursue is your new venture is vitally important to your future success. Most people don't know where to begin and rather than pursuing their dreams they just set around doing nothing and waiting for something to happen. Let me tell you my friend....it doesn't happen that way on the internet.

You need to focus your efforts on learning the process of online marketing and then put into practice what you learn in order to become one of the few who actually succeed in this business. This requires a desire to become successful, a commitment to do whatever it takes and a dedication to make your dreams become a reality in your life. This is the answer to becoming anything and everything you want to be. Only you hold the keys to your future....whether it's good or bad. However, there is help for those who need it and training that can make this process easier than you might think.

If you know the general direction you want to pursue in life and the product or service that you want to build on, this will simplify the process considerably. However, once you learn the process of marketing, you can use that knowledge to promote any business you may be involved with....even for the rest of your life.

If this is your first venture, then you need to determine what kind of customer base you're looking for. You must be aware of what your potential clients needs and wants. This is going to require you to spend some time on what niche market you're going to pursue, what kind of a client base needs your product or services and is the market large enough to sustain a profitable business. Once you understand your basic marketing structure then you can expand on developing your opportunity to make it appealing to the consumer who may use your products or services.

Try to find someone who has gone through the same due diligence process you're going through and ask some questions about what to expect along the way. Most individuals who have gone through the process and the school of hard knocks will be more than happy to share with you some vital information that will make your marketing journey more acceptable.

All of us have borrowed someone else's idea regarding different challenges in our lives. There is nothing wrong with that....there are few new original ideas left in this world, there are just different views and creativities of the same ideas.

Once you've established what direction you want to pursue in your new home based business, then it's time to get really serious about how you're going to make this whole scene unfold. There are going to be many unforeseen challenges that you're going to encounter. Have an open mind and be willing to roll with the punches. There is nothing set in stone here. If you encounter a problem....look at the options both good and bad and then make an informed choice on what solutions you need to pursue. Most people only have one chance to do it right in their lifetime so make informed choices that will make your new business productive and profitable.

Some people find Affiliate Marketing a workable solution in their new business. Many times this will get you started in the learning process and making some income in the process at the same time. Not everyone can handle affiliate marketing because they don't understand how it all works. It's a competitive business at best so be prepared to be faced with some challenges that you couldn't foresee when you started this venture.

Keep an open mind and think of new and exciting ways to make this process more enjoyable. Learn from the experts on how you can learn to become successful with your new business and concentrate on building your business into a lucrative entity of your life.

Study you competition and learn what they are doing to maintain their successful business venture. See what they are offering in the form of training, support and what type of marketing tools they may be using to promote their online business. See what kind of incentive program is being offered by your competition and then come up with a plan of your own that will make their plan obsolete rather quickly. If you have the best affiliate plan within your industry, then you will have users wanting a piece of your action. Earning as you learn is a very popular way for people to want to be a part of your organization.

Choosing a product or service that you are familiar with can shorten your learning time substantially. However, if you don't know about this whole marketing concept you may have to devote some additional time in your learning process. Being passionate about your product or service will make this learning process more palatable.

Keep records of your progress in your new venture. Having preset benchmarks in your early planning stage will help you to monitor your progress to see if you're on track or if you've set yourself up for a huge train wreck. Make changes as need but keep focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. Success can't be bought with money....you must earn it.

Internet Marketing Trends!

Internet marketing is not a new trend on the internet it has actually been around for quite some time now. The internet has been on a rapid growing cycle for the last decade. It is estimated that there are more than 1.5 billion people are using the internet each and every day. This is an incredible amount of information hungry individuals seeking information about varied products and services being offered online. The more quality information you can provide about your product or services the quicker people will look to you as an expert reference source regarding your business opportunity.

The internet is an every changing revolving door that has evolved into an acceptable business entity that many users are utilizing for personal as well as business. Banking and other financial services are now acceptable transactions being conducted online every day. The purchases of expensive items such as automobiles, furniture, collectibles and antiques, coins and so much more are now being bought and sold electronically online with record sales being recorded.

With this type of growth in almost every aspect of business, it is evident that internet marketing is in its infancy and it is expected to continue to grow at a record pace. With this acceptance by the general public as well as the business world, new and exciting businesses and services will be born and will appear online in record numbers. Those who are savvy enough to see how the trends are developing will seize the moment and take advantage of the tremendous opportunities of this new era and will make more money than ever thought possible. It is evident that electronic marketing and online purchases is the accepted model in personal and business transactions and is fast becoming the wave of the future.

The following is a quote from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"The Internet has brought media to a global audience. The interactive nature of Internet marketing in terms of providing instant response and eliciting responses, is a unique quality of the medium. Internet marketing is sometimes considered to have a broader scope because it not only refers to the Internet, e-mail, and wireless media, but it includes management of digital customer data and electronic customer relationship management (ECRM) systems."

I think it can best be described as a central focal point that incorporates various marketing techniques to drive traffic and potential clients to a website promoting a business opportunity to the internet masses using electronic media.

Once you've established yourself as an expert in any given field online you will start to see results that only this broad base media can generate. With the advent of some of the new and popular automated marketing tools now available, marketing online is probably the most affordable way to promote any business. You must acquire the knowledge and experience to be seen as an expert on the internet and these assets are only obtained by hard work, consistently expanding your knowledge and having an unbridled commitment to be the very best at what you do.

This learning process is not going to happen overnight, it's going to take someone who is truly serious about their future and committed to this process for weeks, months and possibly years to develop the attributes to be considered as an expert in your field of endeavors. The internet is an advancing art and science that takes time, patience and commitment to make it all come together. However, those who obtain the knowledge will be rewarded with success when this online trend to the internet is finally matured into the marketing powerhouse that some of us are already experiencing.

Many people have the ability to learn this process but don't know where to begin. Find someone who you feel comfortable with who has already been through this process and see if they can help you shorten this learning process. There are companies out there that specialize in helping the newbie to learn online marketing the right way with good quality training that will substantially shorten your learning curve. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in your online learning process. Call today for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.

Website Development is Imperative To Success!

 We live in a world of high tech communication services that we all feel are necessary to contribute to making our lives a bit more productive. With the internet as our media we can immediately view the quality of services of our company compared to others who may be our competition. We draw conclusions using comparisons about a specific product or service that we may have an immediate interest in. However, seldom do we consider if our website is up to date with current facts and figures that may impact the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and the bottom line profit of our business.

A website that was designed 4 or 5 years ago may be totally outdated at this point and may have seen its better days. Many individuals never take a close look at their site once it's on line and generating income. By using the services of a professional you may be able to get twice the sales or more as you're currently getting just by having your pro tweak your website for maximum SEO exposure and effectiveness. A simple professional consult and review could make a huge difference to your overall business health.

Looking back to when you first put your website online and what your focus in marketing has evolved into today, are probably two totally different scenes. You've probably updated your phone system recently, your office furniture, your sales force so why haven't you paid attention to one of the most important aspects of your business….your website? First impressions are always lasting impressions and if your potential client feels you website is antiquated they will probably just click off your site and go visit your competition. Guess what…..you just lost your next best customer.

Marketing needs and solutions are constantly changing online and as a business person you must be able to follow the latest trends in marketing to keep abreast with your competition. This is one aspect of business that if you snooze ….. You'll end up losing to your competition.

When was the you last time you visited a website and you were absolutely blown away with the design, fresh content and the smooth closing approach that you were lulled into as you finished reviewing all the information on this beautiful site? What did you do? Did you go and visit your own site and compare the differences in your site and the competitors? Maybe a five minute comparison would have sparked some ideas on how you could change your sites presentation which would substantially jump your potential client's interest to look further into your business opportunity and end up buying from you instead of your competition.

In this day and age of competitive marketing, one must pull out all the stops when it comes to building and maintaining a competitive edge. What worked a few months ago may be totally outdated in today's marketing arena. You must ask yourself….is my website really good enough to withstand all the variables in this every changing world of internet marketing? If you have any doubts of whether your website is optimized for maximum exposure, then you need to acquire the services of a professional for some immediate help.

If you were trying to conduct your business in an old warehouse with little to no lighting, located on the top floor of the building with rat infested surroundings and a broken elevator that forced you to climb 10 flights of unstable stairs, how successful do you think your business is going to be? You don't have to answer that question, we both know the answer.

A similar scenario can play out in the virtual world of the internet as well. If your website is outdated, poorly configured with misspelled words and questionable grammar would you have a better chance of success here compared to the scene described above? Once again you don't have to answer this question either.

I'm not inferring here that you need a flashy website with all the bells and whistles because that is the opposite extreme of what's necessary. Having a well designed website with good relevant keyword rich content is what the search engines are looking for in a website. The potential client is looking for information that will fill their needs right now and all the hype in the world is not going to make a smidgen of difference in their decision to do business with you.

By providing simple, straight forward, no hype information about your product or service as well as sharing your company history, contact information and guaranteed service after the sale your business will grow to new and exciting levels of money making success. Once your website is designed effectively, appeals to the user and optimized for the search engines, generating income should evolve into a natural course of events.

If you feel your abilities are not up to speed for making these critical choices about your website, then seek the services of a professional who understands and can handle your questions about web design, development, marketing and SEM and SEO Services. Choosing a good consultant and marketing company is important to your online success. Choose wisely.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to help you in your website needs and challenges. Call today for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.
