Sunday Morning Inspiration: Have You Ever Burned Your Boats?
Ever have trouble committing to the next step? A decision you need to make? A niche you need to focus on? You are not unique in this – it’s human nature. In fact, people have struggled with this for thousands of years. Watch this video by Andy Andrews to discover how one guy solved this challenge for himself and a few others about 500 years ago…
I’ll be interviewing Andy on a teleseminar soon and I’m really looking forward to lifting out some of his wisdom. Watch this space for details… Until then, man oh man, Go Use This Stuff!
What is Article Marketingology?
Watch the short video above and then click here to grab your “backstage pass” – Hurry cuz there are only 100, and many have been already claimed…
Learn from and hang out with 20 speakers – Really?
What you see above is a 41 minute AUDIO interview I conducted for you with David Perdew, the founder of the Niche Affiliate Marketing System Workshop, what we affectionately call NAMS.
The graphic above is of us creating an audio product before a live audience right before lunch on Saturday at NAMS 2 in August. During lunch the audio was turned into a product for all participants to sell for 100% affiliate commission.
Sunday morning, all eyes focused on LaRue Stanley as she clutched the microphone 
and proudly proclaimed, “I just made my first sale!”
With no list, no website, and using what she’d discovered in the workshop, she sold the product we created at lunchtime on Saturday called “How to Create an Audio Product in just 90 Minutes?”
Using only her affiliate link and Twitter, LaRue could now say she was now an internet marketer and making money online. And as we all know, there is something magical about the first sale.
I could fill up pages and pages telling you about the benefits of NAMS, and I will in coming weeks on this blog. Here is what I want you to do now:
- Listen to this Audio interview
- Check out all the details at NAMS 3
- Currently the price is $397 and goes up $100 on December 1st. Until December first I can get you in for only $297 when you use this Coupon Code – 100NAMS3 when you click here.
While I will be posting more about this workshop, you do have to hurry to get in on the best price, and there is every chance that this could sell out by Dec. 1. It was actually 57% sold out before the web site even went up. It really is that good!
P.S. – Listen thru to the end of the closing music to “off the record” comments by David and me…
Quality PLR And Ideas For Using PLR Products In Your Business
What is PLR?
Private label rights, also known as PLR, is ready-made content that you can use in as many different ways as your imagination allows. Using PLR helps you to add quality content to your site, quickly, easily and cost effectively.
When you buy PLR you buy the rights to use the content in any way you like. PLR is a useful, cost effective way to add interesting, search engine friendly content to your website.
You will find it easier create your own products and write more articles quickly if you use well written material as a springboard. There is a lot of sub standard plr material around but I have discoverd three sources that offer excellent material at a sensible price.

Here are some ideas for using PLR products.
- Edit the article, reports and Ebooks to make them uniquely yours. You can add information or take excerpts and combine them with other information to create your own original info products to sell.
- Chunk the material down and rewrite it a little to create unique ezine articles
- Create rebrandable reports to sell or give away
- Use the info for blog posts or in you autoresponder mailings
- Sell the reports and Ebooks as they are – though I highly recommend some tweaking and a unique title, it’s better to edit them and turn them into your own original product.
- Turn the information into an audio product – record yourself reading the content and create mp3 audio products to sell online, or burn your recordings to CD and create physical products.
- Add the reports and Ebooks to a membership site. If you break them down into articles, you will have masses of great content ready to add week after week.
- Host a teleseminar. Use the content as a starting point for a teleseminar. This could be free calls to use as lead generators, or offer as a bonus or paid calls.
- Use them yourself. You can also read these excellent resources and put the information to use in your business.
I have no hesitation in recommending these PLR products to you. I use them and I am always delighted at the quality and value. These men are masters at under promising and over delivering. Check them out for yourself and see what I mean.

Article Marketing As An SEO Tool For Building Backlinks
Why Do You Need Backlinks?
Backlinks are an important factor in your site’s search engine ranking. The higher your site ranks in search engine results the more visitors you will get to your site. You can create backlinks and establish yourself as an expert in your field by writing and posting articles.
Article marketing is a relatively easy way of increasing your search engine ranking. Making your articles available to online publishers quickly builds the number of backlinks to your site because each article submitted to an article directory creates an immediate backlink to your website.
Article marketing is even more powerful when you publish your articles through an article distribution service; it helps you to create a highly visible web presence and get a lot of links to your site quickly. Submitting just one article will result in thousands of links from article directories and blogs.
If you make sure that the articles you write to market your business contain useful keyword rich content, other site owners will want to use your articles on their blogs and in their newsletters.
It’s important to write and submit articles reglarly. You won’t succeed if you just write a few articles and then stop. Plan to submit at least one article every week. Publish unique articles on your website too and gradually create a keyword rich, content rich site that has information that people are actually looking for.
Market your articles using Twitter and Facebook
Use Twitter to regularly publish links to your articles. And post article links to Facebook too. Post your links often enough to get attention but not so much that people feel that you’re spamming or pitching. Interact with your followers and show interest in what they post.
Encourage your readers to link to your articles from their sites. Let them use your articles as content for their website in return for a live link to your site.
What makes a good link?
The best links are relevant links. You are aiming for links from relevant sites and from higher page ranking sites. Irrelevant backlinks count, but they don’t carry as much weight as relevant links.
If the site linking to you covers similar topics, the backlink is considered relevant. Backlinks from link farms and pornographic websites damage your ranking with search engines. Resist the tempation to use blackhat hat SEO strategies!
Article marketing is much more than writing articles so that you can give information about your products and services to as many people as possible. The links you build with your articles as as important as the articles themselves. If you write useful articles, put keyword rich links in the article resource box, and distribute your articles to a lot of article directories your site will soon climb in the search engine rankings.

Article Marketing – Focus On Writing How To Articles
If you put ‘how to’ in a keyword research tool and examine the results, you will find a list of topics people actually want how to information on, and no shortage of in demand articles to write.
‘How To’ articles are in great demand and they have the added benefit of establishing you as an expert
Everybody is an expert to someone on something. YOU have specialized knowledge that your reader wants and needs.
The How To article is probably one of the easiest kind of articles to write.
