An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

You know, for some reason you hear more of the same old sayings around marketing people than in any other field I believe.

I just got through seeing ‘analysis paralysis’ again for the 345,23 time in a few months. Okay, maybe not exactly, but probably close.

I guess I’m pretty slow…I’m just now figuring out I’m slow, so I have to be REAL slow. For some reason it just hit me when I saw that phrase the last time. It’s about me.

I always thought I was actually staying busy, getting things done, but I really noticed that I mostly waste time jumping from one thing to the next. Don’t get me wrong, I’m better than a lot of people that never do ANYTHING other than read, hang out in forums, and maybe actually buy some hosting (but never put up a site).

I have got several sites going, and I’ve even got some domains waiting with a couple projects ‘in the works’, right. They’ll get done…eventually.

My point here though, is that for the amount of time I spend online, I should probably be retired!! I don’t have the paralysis thing, but I guess I have something similar. I just noticed that in this window where I have FireFox running, I have (8) EIGHT open!! Maybe some of you can work efficiently like that, but all I do is jump around, looking at things that don’t help me in any way, shape, or form.

I’m turning over a new leaf…No more windows/tabs going than I actually need for what I’m currently doing. I going to stay focused on one (maybe 2) things at once. I know I can get much more done with the time I have. Now let’s see exactly what I’m able to achieve.

Maybe I’ll be the next ‘Rich Jerk’, hopefully not.

4 Reasons To Use An Article Submission Service
By David Ogden

Do you currently manually submit your articles to get them online? Perhaps you should consider using an article submission service! In this article, let’s take a look at 4 reasons to use an article submission service and make your marketing efforts more effective.

1. When you manually submit an article you are limited to the number of articles that you can submit based on the amount of time available to you. Generally what happens is you pick a handful of your favorite ones and those are the only directories that you submit to. When you use an article submission service you can reach hundreds of directories in less time than you can reach doing it manually.

2. One thing to consider with your article marketing efforts is are you targeting search engines or are you writing for traffic. If you’re writing for traffic, then the more article directories you submit to the more potential traffic you can receive.

Therefore, it only stands to reason that using an article submission service to get your article into hundreds of directories will give you more possibilities for traffic. You are not concerned about what a search engine thinks in regards to duplicate content penalties, because you are writing for traffic.

3. Article submission services are very easy to use. As a matter of fact, you can submit an article 1 time with them just as easy as you can go in manually submit to one directory. Anyone currently manually submitting articles can join and use a submission service.

4. Using an article submission service is very cost effective. There are different ways you can do this, but the service themselves usually allows you to pay on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. Some of them even offer lifetime memberships, which is a good route to take if you find one that you are using on a consistent basis.

If you prefer to buy article submission software you can do that as well. For example one of the most popular software on the market today is Article Submitter Pro. They allow you to quickly submit your articles one at a time to hundreds of article directories.

To speed the process up, you can target the directories you want to submit based on the page rank of them. For example, you can target directories with a page rank of PR3 or higher, and submit to over a hundred of them in less than an hour. This way you are assured of getting your articles into the top article directories on the Internet today.

Regardless of how you do it in submitting articles via an article submission service or software is the most effective way to get your articles on the Internet today.

USFreeAds has been around since 1999 and has a huge following. One of the great things about it is that you can get an account for free. That means that you can post classifieds ads absolutely free.

Think about this…you can go to any affiliate network or other affiliate program and set up an account there for free, then set up an account at USFreeAds for no cost, and you have everything in place to start earning affiliate commissions. No website needed!!

Just write good ads, especially the titles, to get as many viewers as possible.

Although the free account is good, as in most things, if you can spend a few dollars (just $9.95), you get the PREMIUM account at USFreeAds. The step up is a big difference too. The ads you create can almost be a book with many pictures to boot, plus tons of tools to make them even better.

I’ve been using a PREMIUM account for quite a while now, and I’ll always have one. Just one single affiliate commission on most products or services will more than pay for the entire month of your USFreeAds PRMIUM service…and then some.
