Number 1 Article Distribution Service

I've had a couple of people already asking me how Article Marketer compares to the alternatives currently around.

Obviously, I wouldn't want to leave you more confused than before I give you information, so here's the low-down as I see it right now:

Article Announcer (software) is more than 3 times this price.

That means that the customers you send to Article Marketer will be able to get THREE YEARS of our fully automated, complete distribution service for less than the cost of doing the work by hand with software.

I do like Article Announcer, but if you're looking for a cost-effective solution to use yourself, it's not neccesarily the best choice.

Thephantomwriters.com (service) charges $119.85 to distribute 3 articles.

Submityourarticle.com (service) charges $444.00 per year to distribute no more than 48 articles.

Isnare (service) offers annual unlimited service for $714.00
(again - I love Isnare, and their results have always been good, but I have to be as impartial as I can for you here)

For anyone doing a competitive analysis, this new Article Marketer $119.95 Unlimited Annual Subscription is a clear winner, because $39.95 Quarterly and $119.95 Annual unlimited article submission beats every competitor in the marketplace, while their service rivals anyone.

I hope that clears things up.

Blogs: Customizing Your Business profits

Blogs can be written on almost anything and everything. However, incorporating blogs effectively to synchronize and boost your business is much more than an easy task. We often come across success stories that blogs create for micro businesses to large corporations. But, we are completely oblivious to accept blogs as a key player in customizing our business profits. A blog is just like a personalized money churner for your website. It is a stand-alone website with all its features like automatic archiving, commenting, easy management and publishing.

5 Marketing Mistakes You Can’t Afford To Make

In virtually every area of business, there will be pitfalls along
the way. Marketing is no exception. Time and time again, retail
stores of all sizes make the same costly mistakes. But knowing
how to avoid these mistakes can save you energy, disappointment –
and money.

Mistake 1: Eliminating marketing efforts when times get tight.

When cash flow slows, advertising, direct mail and other forms of
marketing are the easiest expenses to reduce, right? But cut
these, and you eliminate the very activities that will bring in
new customers to turn your business around. This is the time
when you may be spending more time analyzing the results of your
marketing efforts. But by stopping marketing efforts, you will
be setting yourself up for additional loss of business.

Mistake 2: Not measuring results.

Don’t wait until times get tight to start measuring the results
of your marketing efforts. By analyzing regularly, you will be
able to reinvest in what is working, and drop what isn’t. Ask
customers how they found your business, and then track the
results. Use in-store or on-line coupons. Or host a focus group
of a variety of customers to discover what attracts them to your
business.

Mistake 3: Putting all your marketing dollars in one area.

If your entire marketing budget is used on just one method of
promoting your business, you won’t realize the highest return on
your investment. Diversifying your efforts will increase the
frequency and reach of your messages and stretch your marketing
dollars.

Businesses can get hooked into one large advertising program with
a local newspaper, magazine or radio station, and put the
majority of their marketing dollars there. They feel as if they
have to advertise with the same media source, just because they
always have or because fear they will lose ground since their
competitors are advertising there as well. Some business owners
actually stay with a company for fear of upsetting their sales
associate.

Remember, it’s your money and your investment. Don’t ever let
anyone talk you into an advertising program that is not producing
the best results for your business. And measure the results of
your advertising dollars spent vs. the income received from your
advertising on a consist basis.

When you diversify, don’t’ forget about direct marketing. Many
business owners only do a few direct-mail programs a year,
targeted to their existing customer base. They need to do more.

Your customer base and mailing list is gold, make sure you have
budgeted a large part of your marketing dollars to advertise to
your existing customers. They already love you, so keep them
coming in by sending promotional (promotional – not just sale)
postcards to them at least six times a year.

Mistake 4: Allowing your ego to get in the way of common sense.

Ego can tempt a very bright person to do dumb things. Your
marketing decisions should be based on factors that will
positively impact some area of your business – usually the bottom
line. Buying full-page ads or covers featuring yourself and not
focusing on your business’ unique offerings may result in money
going out the window.

Mistake 5: Not getting help when you need it.

If you find you’re too busy to handle your marketing efforts or
that your materials aren’t looking as professional as they
should, it’s time to call in the reinforcements. Hire a full-or
part-time employee to allow you more free time to work on the
“business end” or hire an independent business consultant to
bring in new concepts and fresh ideas.

Marketing Ideas For Work At Home Moms

By Danni Vickers


1: Join Forums- Forums offer a great opportunity to market your business. Now, joining forums just to promote yourself will only get you banned, so you much advertise your business tactfully. When you join a forum introduce yourself and participate in discussions. Make sure you set up your signature to display with all of your posts. You do not have to sit and post all day, but posting to a few threads will get that signature on several different areas of the forum! Not only will the forum members be interested and check our your website, search engines also index forums and that offers extra exposure!

2: Moderate a chat room or group- Offering to help moderate a chat room or online chat group is another way I have found to work very well! Because you are a moderator, people see you as being an example, which opens a new door to another prospect for your business!

3: Get a website- If you want to run your business online a website is vital! Once you have a website you can submit it to search engines for free. If your company does not offer websites, I would highly recommend having a professional build you one. If you are going to market online, you might as well do it right.....With a professional looking website.

4: e-Mail signatures- These are very powerful! Set up a signature and attach it to every email you send! Include your name, business name, and website url. Even if you email a website about an order or email someone just to ask a question! That puts your website and information in front of another new prospect.

5: Write articles- Take some time and write some articles on a topic that if of interest to you. Many website use articles for content for their visitors to read and several webmasters use articles in ezines. When you write any article, you can add an author bio, which can include any info you want to add. This area can have your name, business description, website link, and contact info. Just think if you write 5 articles that 10 websites display the amount of exposure you will have for your business!

Marketing Article: Easiest Low Cost Way To High Traffic

There is hardly any other online marketing tool that is as effective and yet so low-cost as articles are when it comes to generating traffic.

Most people don't know it but low cost marketing articles are capable of generating tons of targeted traffic for any site. For instance a single article posted at an articles directory can end up in tens of thousands of other web sites. This in itself creates a marketing situation where there is a huge but low cost potential for traffic because even if your article in each of those sites generates the occasional hit, the numbers will tend to quickly add up into a very impressive traffic figure.

Marketing articles are actually so low cost that they tend to cost next to nothing. Apart from the time spent researching, writing and posting the marketing article, there is no other cost the site owner looking to get away from low traffic will incur.

Even if one chooses to hire a content provider to generate the marketing articles, the cost will still be very low when compared to other methods of advertising online.

What's more low cost marketing articles tend to generate highly targeted traffic that has already been pre-sold before they actually get to your site. This also makes low cost marketing articles very valuable sources of traffic for any site.
