I have been doing some testing regarding auto-blogging. This is a concept I have not even tried until just recently. I can see already that this is the key to helping average people make money online if you do it right.

What if you do it wrong? Here are a few tips I have learned so far.

1. Blogger.com blogs. Almost every blog I have set up using Google’s free blogging platform has quickly been shut down due to spamming.

I really do not see anyway to do auto-blogging with a blogspot blog. By this I mean using auto software to post plr articles and rss feeds. They do not want any duplicate content clogging up their system.

This is not to say you can not make using Google’s free blogs. I have made money with them in the past, but the key is to choose a niche with very little competition, and then add a small amount of fresh content on a regular basis.

If you do that Google will find your blogs and rank them very high for keywords relating to the niche you are in. Because there is less competition these blogs rank very quickly and can bring in some decent quality traffic.

2. Joining a membership site such as Blogblueprint.com. Even if you have a pretty good background in Internet marketing it is amazing how much you can learn from people who have been doing it for a while.

Plus what I like about this is they have videos that take you through step by step on how to do auto blogging the right way. And they have a members only discussion forum where you can go and ask questions.

The whole program is very impressive and worth the small investment it takes. They have different membership levels, but nothing is more than $67 a month.

3. Be consistent in setting up new blogs that you host yourself. There is no doubt that building a blogging empire takes a lot of work. Initially you will want to do the work yourself on a part time basis until you get a system in place.

Then you can outsource much of the day to day aspects of your business. The whole point of auto blogging is not having to spend a lot of time on any particular blog so you want to automate as much of it as you can.

I can actually see that anyone can make money on the Internet doing auto blogging if you just learn how. Once you get the hang of it is actually pretty easy and can be a lot of fun.

As long as you are willing to put a consistent effort this can be the answer to making money online that many of you are looking for.

Many SEO specialists feel a bit deprived these days, because on the background of the outstanding possibility automation of the article submission to the directories and blogs, unique content generation and spinning still take too much time and efforts. Many of the online marketing gurus have been outsourcing these tasks for a long time, as their budgets allow doing that, unlike the budget of an average marketer, who tries to earn a living in the internet.

Outsourcing article writing can be quite expensive and time consuming. A 500-700 words article could cost well above $10 and one needs to spend hours looking for the “right” copywriter on the freelance forums. Sometimes, it is a good option, but sometimes you end up spending almost the same money you earn just to produce the content.

Same goes for the spinning, but in a slightly different way – most of the spinning is usually done without direct outsourcing. Firstly, because such services are not widely provided, and secondly, because SEO specialists prefer to monitor this process themselves, so that the quality of the spun articles remains on an acceptable level. Since the high quality spinning is a 50% manual job (though a special software is used, it is still the writer who chooses the most appropriate synonyms and phrases, so it is a semi-automated process), it is quite time consuming. Again, a 500-700 words article may take around half an hour to spin.

Fortunately, today, there are means of automating even that 50% of manual work. It is also an outsourcing of some sort, but done with the minimum investment and within a shorter time, through a centralized interface. Such delegation allows freeing up the resources of the SEO specialists, so that they can concentrate on more adequate needs, rather than the article writing and spinning routine.

One of the most known automated systems (or, rather, an automated marketplace) is Article Twin. Being one of the most affordable and popular (is not the most popular) ones, it offers the outsourced content creation and spinning services of a very decent quality level. Though the quality level depends on the price, an average $0.5 per hundred words is a very inspiring price for all article marketing specialists with tight budgets out there.

The system lets the client (a person that orders the article creation and spinning from copywriters) rate the authors he works with per article, so that within 3-5 clicks any client can shortlist a portfolio of the most relevant authors, both price and quality wise.
Keeping in mind, that the lowest price for writing 100 words is less than 10 cents, it opens a way to virtually any SEO specialist, regardless of his budget. At the same time, the option of the urgent content creation (within just 3 hours) can satisfy the most demanding clients out there.

In this way, Article Twin literally saves hours of SEO specialists’ work and lets them to receive the results of such SEO method as article marketing (for back links building) much faster.

If you are doing SEO, you must have definitely heard of (if not massively involved in at the moment) the Article Marketing Automation. Yes, it is when you get a unique article, spin it, submit it to the directories or blogs, in an automated way or manually. As a guy who does the article marketing on a daily basis, I’m actually here to pay my tribute so the guys that helped me get 3 hours of my life back, every day.

When I was a bit younger, I thought I have time for everything and I can master almost everything I want. Only second part is valid at the moment I should admit, because time is what I value more and more each year of my life. Whatever the brilliant idea that comes acres your mind, you still need time to implement it, if you’re doing it yourself. And, alas, we don’t live forever, so we have to optimize our time as much as possible.

Now, back to the article marketing. It really is an engine of my SEO for 8 personal web sites and 4 client ones that I do SEO for as a consultant, which, combined, makes my living. Article marketing helps me to get to Google page one for a number of pretty tough keywords, and if it was not for the articles and back links, I might have never succeeded in an online business. I’m not a millionaire, but I have a family of four and pay my bills with the money I make online for the last 5 years, that’s the fact.

To do that, apart from the other SEO methods I use, I need at least 6 fresh articles a day that I spin and submit to various places (namely, directories and blogs, via the automated systems). And what I was doing for a long time looks a bit amateur now – I was trying to write myself and, when I fed up with being a creative writing machine, producing 6-8 articles a day, I outsourced half of it to a freelance writer.
Writing and spinning even 3 articles a day was still a bit of a nightmare that was taking around 3 hours of my life every day. But I simply had to do it, because paying $15-20 for a five – six hundred words article to a freelance writer was way too expensive already, and I couldn’t outsource any more of it.

Literally, it seemed that leaving the evil loop of “Work – Home – Work – Home” and choosing the home business to be the master of my life has lead me to a different, probably even more depressing one called “Howe work – Home work – Home work”.
So I just decided to “sit and think”. What am I doing wrong? How can I free my time? Is there a way to outsource routine things without spending a fortune?

Alas, that’s the only thing I did. I sat and thought. Didn’t even bother to discuss it with my fellow SEO guys. The answer, as in a Steven King book, has found me, not the vise verso. Purely by accident, in a SEO e-zine that I subscribed for. Funny indeed, as I usually don’t read them a lot nowadays, no matter that I’m paying for the subscription. Well, anyway, I somehow spotted a short info about the service called Article Twin. And since that moment, I have those 3 hours a day of my life back. And it makes a huge difference.

The service is quite simple – they connect SEO guys like me to the copywriters worldwide. Authors write unique articles and produce spun versions (tagged ones) for… Guess what… around 4-5 bucks. And, I can get them in just 3 hours if I would want to (normally it is 24 hours, which is still really fast). It is free to join, very easy to use and extremely powerful. Truly, a life savior for any article marketer or any SEO people.

Well, that’s basically it. I felt obliged to do something good back to the people behind the Article Twin, so this article is a big THANKS to the guys, I wish them best of luck.

Explaining the Article Twin (article marketing automation) rating system.

It took a while to finally learn how exactly the Article Twin rating system works, but I think did it. You know now, that you can rate each article that you receive from copywriters, but rating has an influence on several characteristics, so using it should be quite thoughtful.

When you rate fresh content (an article), you both provide a characteristics to its author (Preferred, Neutral or Blacklisted) and influence his maximum price level for 1K of the symbols he creates, meaning that the more clients prefer one particular copywriter (well, you can not really see which one exactly, as in a try to evenly spread the chance to get some work, Article Twin does not show copywriters’ details, just their prices.), the more he would be able to charge for his future work. Neutral status simply leaves all characteristics unchanged and is reasonable to use not only when you are not sure, which category to put this particular Author to, but when working with “Preferred” copywriters. In this way you would not unnecessarily increase their upper margin of their service price.

Copywriters, on the other hand, may apply a personal discount to their maximum price per 1K of symbols to attract clients, so there should be no worries about hyper-preferring copywriters. Very expensive copywriters simply would not get enough clients. So, for example, if the maximum price that some author may get per 1K of symbols is $9, he can voluntarily apply a discount of up to 99%, so that he could get into a cheaper pricing category, to get more exposure to the clients that, actually, search copywriters based on their price per 1K of symbols value, for their particular article marketing budget.

Blacklisting permanently bounces an article author from any of the lists to the General list (with unrated authors), where he gain, has an equal chance with other yet unrated authors to possibly be chosen by you again (if you would include an option for to receive articles from all copywriters).

My approach to working with Article Twin more effectively is quite simple – I use only one category of the copywriters within one price range per order. First, I choose “Articles from all copywriters”, for the price range of $0.05 – $ 0.50 for 20-30 article variants. Then, I rate the received articles, short listing the ones I like by choosing Prefer rating. Accordingly, I check “Neutral” if the article is more or less acceptable and blacklist completely unacceptable ones.

I shall carry on doing so for 5-10 other article orders, to create a bigger list of “Preferred” copywriters. Then, I switch to “Articles from my preferred copywriters only” filter, and use an increased price range, $0.50 – $1.00. This would mean, that those authors that I have in my “Preferred” list may have their price increased due to the preferences, chosen by the other SEO clients, which ensures such authors quality and professionalism in writing.

Next steps are just shifting the price range to the level that that you find acceptable in terms of your budget, thus, short listing the “crème de la crème”, so that in the end you would have a list of the most reliable and high quality content writers. Of course, they would not be the only top quality writers available through the system, so if you need more or them or just cheaper ones, you may always go for the same routine again and again to either add more copywriters to your “top 20” or just choose a different pricing level, to explore new cost / quality opportunities. Good luck with your article marketing automation at ArticleTwin.com!

How to benefit from the Article Twin article marketing service.

There is, probably, no need to talk more about the value of the article marketing. Organic back links can dramatically increase your web site popularity in search engines, and the article marketing can do the trick, using 100% “white hat” SEO methods.

Now, the major question of a SEO specialist is – where do get those fresh articles to spin (and use with the submission service). Creating them personally sounds like a fun stuff… well, until you wrote around 20 of them. The most of the article marketing specialists just get bored then and start to seek for the fresh thematic content elsewhere.

Luckily, this part of the SEO can also be outsourced now. And we speak about not simply hiring a freelance writer (those can be really expensive sometimes), but using a specialized automated service that provides man-made thematic content and even allows you to have spin-friendly variants of the articles, ready to be used with the submission services.

I speak about the Article Twin online service. This “.com“ connects copywriters from around the world with the SEO specialists and allows to have a fresh thematic article be created in as little as 3 hours. It is very cheap (it literally starts from a dime per 100 words) and amazingly high quality, if used right – clients can rate each copywriters’ article and shortlist only the best ones, simply dumping any junk writers.

Spin-article creation is another benefit of the Article Twin service. One simply needs to copy-paste a newly created (or any other really) article to create an order, and in a matter of hours you will get a nicely spun master-version, properly tagged and full of relevant synonyms (as it is again, a man-made work), hot and ready to be used for any automated article submission service.

And this part I like the most – it is free to join, so you pay only for the articles or spinning services that you order. A really nice move, especially in the view of the vast majority of online SEO services that would also charge you a monthly membership fee.

Having played with the system for two days, I must admit that Article Twin is something more than just an innovative service – it is really an automated unique content marketplace and custom design studio in one. You just browse and shop for the unique content that is created especially for you (you can provide your original article to serve as an example or simply provide guidelines, if you’re lazy).

I wonder, what is the capacity of the system. Obviously, the work is outsourced to different parts of the world where there are English speaking people, but how many are there in the system? Hundreds? I think I need to have another week of experience with it which will include bigger volumes or texts. If their copywriters are capable of producing 10 articles a day for 3-4 bucks per article – I feel like I have finally found the ultimate answer to my time management in terms of article marketing SEO.

Approaching your Internet business with an attitude for long term success requires you to implement certain strategies. Running a profitable online business is something anyone can do if they stay focused on the right things.

In this article we will go over 5 online marketing strategies that profitable online business owners use to make money online.

1. Build a comprehensive keyword list. Getting on page 1 for targeted keyword phrases is extremely important. Being in the top 10 for as many keyword phrases as possible on a search engine such as Google can bring you unbelievable long-term traffic.

This all starts with knowing what keyword phrases people are searching for relating to the theme of your business. Initially you may want to start with keywords that are not searched as many times as the most competitive phrases.

However for long-term success you want to rank for every possible keyword phrase you can. This means using a free keyword tool such as Google offers, as well as using more comprehensive keywortd research tools.

2. Add fresh content to your website using a blog. The more fresh content you add the more search engines will fall in love with your Internet business.

The number of repeat visitors you get back to your website will increase as you add fresh content. This is something you can do yourself or you can outsource to a Internet marketing company.

3. Be unique in the content you had. Quality content that is different than your visitors are finding on other websites will give you an edge over your competitors.

Add relevant content to the theme of your business. Then stay current with what’s going on in your industry and add quality content based on that.

4. Make your website user friendly. The easier it is for your visitors to get around in it the better your make money results will be. Make your website easy to navigate and set it up with your website visitors in mind.

5. Build one way backlinks for long term traffic. Getting your website address on as many other websites as possible is extremely important. One way back links from quality web pages increase the value of your own site in the eyes of the search engines.

They also make it easier for people to find your site. Use strategies such as article marketing, blog marketing, and video marketing to increase the number of one way back links you have.

Use submission software or services to speed up the process. Think big in terms of how many articles and videos you are getting online. Many Internet marketers underestimate how large the world wide web is and how competitive their own niche is.

Follow these 5 online marketing strategies for long-term profitable online business success. Internet marketing can be a lot of fun, but there is definitely hard work involved as well.

I have a pretty good idea now what works and what does not work based on my eight years of doing Internet marketing. There are many ways to build an online business and promote online, but here are my 5 best marketing tips based on my own proven track record.

1. Build your email list. It is interesting that that was the focus of my efforts when I started back in 2002. This is still solid advice today.

A mailing list you develop relationships with really can pay you back many times over. Think of it as an asset that will always be there for you even if other parts of your Internet business are not.

2. Use article marketing. There are so many things you can do with an article, but using it as a traffic source from article directories continues to work.

Online business owners will find your article and publish it on their blog or ezine. If your title is good people will read your articles leading to more visitors for your site.

Search engines will also pick up articles from article directories. They will rank those based on the quality of the information and the use of keyword phrases they want for their searchers

3. Blog and social bookmark. Consistently adding articles to a blog is an great source of Internet marketing for your business.

Bookmarking your articles into social directories using a service such as Social Marker really makes a difference in how often search engines spider your blog.

4. Focus on 1 or 2 keyword phrases. You should build a targeted keyword list to use in all for all of your online promotions. Your keyword list can be used to build webpages around those targeted phrases.

However, you are best to focus on a couple of your primary keyword phrases in your marketing efforts. Hyperlink those keyword phrases over and over in the resource box of your articles and you can quickly climb up the search engine depending on how competitive the phrase is.

Be realistic in the phrases that you target. Choosing long tail keyword phrases will help you rank more quickly. However a competitive phrase can be worth the effort in terms of long term traffic once you have made it to page 1 of Google for that phrase.

5. Automate and outsource. Getting more accomplished is the only real way to make money online.

Automate as much of your online marketing efforts as you possibly can. Outsource what you don’t have time to do or do not like to do.

These are five of my best Internet marketing tips. These are based on what is working for me and for other Internet marketers as well.

2. Update your website regularly. Give your visitors a reason to come back by always giving them something new. You may post new content on a regular basis, change the design of your home page every once in a while, or incorporate amazing add-ons like podcasting, forums, blogs, and discussion boards.

Online users don’t have much time to spare and they don’t have the patience to search your website for hours just to get informed. Remember, there are thousands, if not millions of providers like you.

So, you better keep your visitors satisfied by ensuring that they are one or two clicks away from the data that they need. Also, ensure that your website is downloadable within seconds. Avoid using too much pictures, graphics, and flash animations that can affect your downloading time.

2. Ensure that your website is targeted to the profiles and preferences of your potential clients. It is very important to understand your potential clients when building your website so you can make it more focused and highly targeted.

3. Drive traffic to your website. Use all the effective traffic-generating tools including article marketing, email marketing, and paid advertising to attract interested people to give you a visit.

Optimize your content and build links so you can secure great page ranking. It would also help if you can promote your website on relevant blogs, forums, and other website.

Show these people that you are really knowledgeable on your chosen niche by sharing a slice of your expertise through ezine publishing, forum posting, Webinars, article marketing, and blogging.

5. Use testimonials. Post the testimonials of your most satisfied clients on your product page and blogs. These will surely help you convince your potential clients that your products are superb and worth buying.

These are 5 ways to do online marketing better. Work harder at doing all of these and watch your online business grow. Ignore them and you will struggle to compete in the competitive world of Internet promotion.

Are you new in to Internet marketing? Are you considering using free marketing tools like article marketing in promoting your products and services online?

Then, you have come to the right page. In this article, I will share with you the 5 proven article marketing tips you can use to get your marketing with articles off to a good start.

1. Improve your writing skills. It is crucial that you are able to provide high quality articles in order to thrive in the online arena.

That cannot happen if you don’t have great writing skills and if you don’t have great command of the English language. Consider improving your skill level by attending relevant seminars and by working closely with expert article writers.

2. Register on all leading article submission sites. Publishing sites are your allies. These are the sites where you should post your articles to so you can better connect with your potential clients.

Ensure that you register on all of them and understand their terms of services. This will help you save your articles from being rejected once you post them online.

3. Think SEO. One of your main goals in distributing your articles online is to secure a higher page ranking.

You can talk about their areas of interest, most frequent questions, and their pressing issues. You can also talk about your products and services, your business, and your website without resorting to blatant ads.

5. Write for online users. You need to understand that you are writing for people who have short attention span and these people have different levels of comprehension because they have diverse background and languages.

To ensure that they’ll be happy with your content, make sure that you keep your articles short (about 300 – 500 words) and easy to understand. Avoid using highly technical terms that only few people can understand.

Article marketing is one method of online promotion that you will get better at the more you do it. It is the one proven free strategy that continues to work if you get enough articles online where people can find them.
