Article Marketing is one of my favorite ways to drive traffic to my site. First of all, it doesn’t cost any money out of pocket if you write the articles yourself. Second, when I complete the article, I feel like I have accomplished a great task for the day, knowing that I am teaching others and helping them accomplish their goals.

Never let anyone tell you that article marketing if free, though. It is not! It costs you your time and your time is worth every minute you burn up to write those articles. If an article takes you approximately 30 minutes to write, and you are worth $30/hour, then you have just burned up $15.00 worth of your time. The busier you get, the more valuable your time becomes, because you can’t make any more of it. 24 hours is 24 hours…bottom line.

Once you get real busy and you find your niche on article marketing, you can outsource your writing. There are many people on the internet that would love to write your articles for you. It is called “outsourcing”. When you find someone that writes like your style, you will want to use them over and over again. At the end of this article, I will give a few resources for article outsourcing.

When determining if you are going to write articles, you need to determine what your purpose is in writing the articles. If you want to write because you love to teach, and that is your motivation, then this should come very easy to you. Your desire to teach others will flow through onto the paper. If your motivation in writing is to drive traffic to your website, then you need to figure out what to focus on to be able to have enough to write about. Sometimes writing does not come naturally to people, but when they start with the subject they are familiar with, the words and content begin to flow.

Keep in mind that an article does not need to be a literary work of art. Its purpose is to teach a simple point to the reader without boring them, and to get them to want to learn more from you. When they finish the article, if you have “wet their appetite”, then they will click on your link in the Resource box and find out more about you, or they will Google your name to read more of your writings. The key is to give them “golden nuggets” of advice. I call it common sense in business, but you would be surprised how many people will comment, “I’ve never thought of it that way”, or “that makes sense, why didn’t I think of that”. What is common sense to you, might not be to others.

If you write an article about weight loss, and give real good tidbits of information, then the reader will be more apt to want to learn more from you. If they see in your Resource box or contact area that your website has something to do with “weight loss or nutrition”, then they are more likely to click on it to see what you are doing. It is just a natural reaction that people have. They are curious, they want to know what interests you have.

There are a few important details to keep in mind when writing articles, though. Spelling, grammar and punctuation are important. No one likes to read articles that have many misspelled words and grammatical errors. Plus, some directories will not publish your articles if there are too many errors.

A basic guideline to follow when writing your articles is to write between 300-700 words. Start with a headline that will draw the reader in to want to read your article.

In the body of the article you will want to tell the reader what you will be writing about, maybe even give them a definition of something. The second or third sentence might be to pose a challenge of which I will give the answers to following that in bullet form or with use of numbering, such as 1., 2., 3., etc.

If you find your article is going too long, it is better to break it up and call it Part 1, with a Part 2 follow up article.

People do not like lengthy articles, and submission websites prefer shorter articles, as well.

A keyword rich article is nice to draw people in that are focusing on certain keyword related problems, but they do not make or break your article. This use to be very important a few years ago to have “keyword rich content”, but it is not so important anymore. Use a key word once or twice in the article or once in the headline and you should be fine. People want help in solving their problems, not an article loaded with fancy, big words. They want you to give them answers that are easy, so they can get their problems fixed.

Once an article is completed, there are many places to submit your article, but one of the best on the internet is www.ezinearticles.com

Do you ever wonder how some websites sore to the top of the Google rankings, while others seem to never get in the top 5 pages?

Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO, is quite common these days if you want to get high rankings.

One of those top elements in SEO is backlinks.  These are links that come to your site from other sites that are not reciprocated.  These links show value to your site.  Google likes to see lots of backlinks, because it means you are giving relevant content to your readers, and therefore people are linking to your site.

There are several ways to get backlinks.  You can manually wait for them to happen….   Good luck!

You can manually email hundreds of website owners who have similar content to yours and ask them to back link to you…. Good luck!  Even if you find a few that will, most will require you to link back to them, which ends up being a “reciprocal link”, which has less value than a true back link.

The best way is to sign up for a program that gives you backlinks with as little effort as possible.  Let’s face it, time is money.

The program that I have found is quick, easy to learn (great tutorials), customer service is top, and the links are numerous.

After you start getting many backlinks, you can watch your site increase in rankings on many of the search engines, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

PS:  This tip is not just for MLM businesses.  You can use this linking strategy for any and all of your websites.  Even hobby and personal sites.

Here is one of my favorite Network Marketing Tips:

There are many tax advantages when running a successful home based network marketing business. I will list a few here.

If you have an international business, a lot of travel can be written off against your income taxes. For example if you reside in the states but have down line members in Europe, there is no reason why you can’t take to vacation to Europe, visit a member along the way and subsequently write it off against your income as a business trip as you were meeting one of your business partners. To maximize this, both men and women are putting their wives and husbands alike in the business so both parties have tax written off trips.

Also in terms of using a home office for building your business. Light, heat, home office, computers, internet fees,phone bills, bin charges, mortgage interest can all be written off. You explain to your accountant that your home is now your place of business and all fees associated with the running of the business can now be written off against taxable income.

If you have a business that is growing not over the internet but grows nationally, then your car payment can be written off. If you are doing hotel meetings, buying suits to impress would be prospects, petrol, car insurance, car tax. Be smart and try to include all expenses in the running of your business. Then and only then will you be able to save the maximum tax possible.

What I have learned over the years is that the tax man and often your accountant will take as much as they can. If you feel your accountant is not giving you the best service possible and is not truly working for you, then dump him. Life is too short to paying way over the odds and making the state rich and not yourself. Do things legally and explore every avenue when it comes to keeping as much as you can of what you earn.

They say that if the worlds wealth was collected and thrown all around the world the following day, it would eventually end up in the same hands. Why?. Because the rich know how to keep their wealth. So outsmart the tax man and learn the law if you want to become rich.

After more than twenty years in the corporate world, ten of which included owning my own network marketing business, I felt it was necessary to really outline what ethics is, and what our role as network marketers needs to be. The following is the reason why I wrote a book about ethics in network marketing.

After leaving the corporate world and focusing on network marketing on a full time basis, one thing was crystal clear: people are people no matter what business they happen to choose to be in.

I personally have an extreme passion for the world of network marketing, and even though in some cases our industry has been given a black mark, as network marketers I feel we have not only a huge responsibility, but also a massive opportunity.

What is Our Responsibility?

Our responsibility as network marketers is to build leaders in the global communities using an ethical base that is consistent, and that treats others as we would like to be treated ourselves – and perhaps even better.

What is Our Opportunity?

Our opportunity is to build leaders using this ethical base, and have these leaders build millions of more leaders around the world, all using that same ethical base. Hopefully the end result will be not only a significant cleansing of the network marketing industry’s image, but will also leave the world a much better place.

“Let me give you the definition of ethics: it is good to maintain life and to further life. It is bad to damage and destroy life. And this ethics, profound and universal, has the significance of a religion. It is religion.” – Albert Schweitzer

During my time within the network marketing industry, I have been positively influenced by hundreds of professional network marketers. I also have met too many people within the industry who are the definition of why network marketing as an industry is shunned by the masses.

In life we get to choose who our mentors are, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several key people who I’ve been able to mentor with, a few of whom I would consider giants on this planet.

One of these giants is John Maxwell – an expert not only in leadership, but also in ethics.

“There is no such thing as business ethics – there is only ethics. People try to use one set of ethics for their professional life, another for their spiritual life, and still another at home with their family. That gets them into trouble. Ethics is ethics. If you desire to be ethical, you live by one standard across the board.” – John C. Maxwell

In society today, we have a moral and ethical challenge like no other time in history. All you have to do is open a newspaper or switch on CNN and the corruption and moral downfall of our business leaders is front page news each and every day.

This problem also exists in Network Marketing because the industry is full of people. This problem does have a solution, if one looks close enough. If you are going to be a network marketer, make sure you are one that acts responsible.

It is my hope that this work touches millions of network marketers around the world. However, I’ll consider it a personal and professional success if I can convert one “non-responsible” network marketer into a responsible network marketer.

See You on the Beaches of the World,

Have you ever heard the expression “facts tell and stories sell”? I am convinced this is a true statement the majority of time in the Network Marketing industry.

First of all, most people don’t want to hear numerous boring details about the products, the compensation plan, the stellar reputation of the company or the owners. People want to know what is in it for them. Bottom line…how is this product or business going to help me achieve my dreams, goals, and aspirations? What is the best way to envision how your dreams and goals will be met? Hear other people tell their testimonies about how they make six figures in the network marketing industry, how they paid for their childrens’ college tuition through their new home based business of 8 months, and how they went from being sick and tired all of the time, to regaining their youth and vigor.

When you hear others testify about their products and MLM business and what it has done for them, you immediately envision that if it can happen for them, then it can happen for you. Why not? They are not special, they are just as average as you.

So what is the point of this article? Use testimonies when promoting your business opportunity. Give them the facts as they ask the questions, give them the stories and testimonies to help them envision their goals and dreams being met through this new MLM business that you are presenting. Let me make one thing clear, though, do not exaggerate or lie, to sell or promote. Be ethical and honest and use real testimonies. If you personally do not have any to share since you are brand new to your network marketing business, then use the testimonies of your up-line or the testimonies from the company. Once you have developed your own testimony then use it. Teach your personal sales force to use this method also. Allow them to use your testimonies until they can get their own.

Using this technique does not, however, dismiss you from knowing the details about your products, MLM company and compensation plan. All of those are important, but should be discussed when the prospective customer is asking for the information. Too much information, too soon, is sometimes overwhelming to a person hearing about the network marketing opportunity or product for the first time. Sometimes feeding your prospect in small doses helps them to process the information quicker and easier.

Whatever your strategies are in building your home based business, do so with excitement, motivation, enthusiasm, honesty, and integrity. In doing so, you will be successful!

I published this article about what a person needs to look for when deciding on a home based MLM business because these are vital steps to take so that you make a wise and informed decision from the start.  Hope you enjoy!  Chelina

A lot of work at home business opportunities have come on the scene in recent days. Most people tend to think that starting a business at home is simple, fast, inexpensive, and easy. That is far from the truth. Some are simple, some are inexpensive, some are even fast and easy, but a combination of all of those traits is not realistic. Several steps can be taken to help you in the right direction.

1. When you are looking for a work at home multilevel marketing business opportunity, you need to do a wide variety of research to discover what are the options available for you based on your interests, skills, past experiences, past employment history, etc.

An expert network marketer will tell you that your first thought should be what company should I get involved with. Doing a work at home MLM business requires great effort, time, and skills, so this initial decision should not be taken lightly.

2. After finding the right MLM business that fits is to fully understand your companies policies and procedures and terms of services. If you can’t agree to their policies, then don’t get involved.

3. Take a good look at the compensation plan of the network marketing company that you will be promoting. Is it fair? Are you compensated well for your time and effort? Is the company payout too high to sustain itself? Is the company keeping too many profits and not benefiting those in the field? Still, if you need to be more confident and careful about your choice, then it’s advisable to seek help from a professional attorney to ask him his opinion.

4. Another important step that people fail to consider until months into their MLM business is what are the tax benefits of owning my own network marketing business? What are the write offs? Can I use my home office as an expense? These answers should be obtained from a certified public accountant or a tax specialist. Do not assume you know all of the answers. Tax laws change on a yearly basis. What applied 20 years ago may no longer be valid.

5. Discuss your future home based business with your relatives and other individuals who are also doing a work at home MLM business. Get their advice on what has worked and what hasn’t. Learn from their mistakes so you won’t be making the same ones.

6. Write down your goals! This is one step that most people fail to do. Write specific goals for your network marketing business, such as,

a. How many months will it take to get to the next level?

b. How many people will I need to speak with about the business opportunity on a weekly basis?

c. How many people will I need to share the products with on a daily basis?

These are just a few questions to ask when constructing your goal sheet. The main thing is to be as specific as you can and write them down! Keep them in front of you at all times when you are working.

7. Enjoy what you are doing with your network marketing business. If you fail to enjoy this business, it will come through to your clients and your sales force that you are building. Excitement and motivation goes hand and hand, so stay motivated, stay excited, and stay focused!
