Found this cool infographic by Ladders, hope you all enjoy it!

Articles are a great way to get your name, your brand and your contact information out among Internet users.  If you have an article that is interesting, informative and is helpful about a service or product, then you will find your article spreading faster than the common cold. You are going to use the ever important resource box to include your contact information and website.  You can also allow others to use your article on their blogs, website, etc… as long as they keep your contact information in the resource box intact.

Now, let’s discuss how to make your article sell for you.  There is a very important part of article writing and that is the Resource Box, this is the “magic box” that will get your readers to your website.  This is where you will put a short bio and signature.  There are some key ingredients to your resource box and here they are:

• Name: Okay, you are thinking “duh, Frank… of course I know to put my name”.  Well, you would be astonished to know how may people do NOT include their name.  Your name and/or title is going to be the first thing you include in your resource box.
• Website Information: This needs to in a valid URL format for example:  http://viralurl.com/
• USP (Unique Selling Proposition): Here you will write a couple of sentences that will set your product or service apart from the others.  What makes you unique or special, why should they buy your product?
• Make the Sale: Now you have given them some great information, making them wanting a little more.  Now it is time to lead them to your website where you will then ASK for the Sale.

There are some other options that are great to include in your Resource Box, such as:

• Contact Information: This will be your business number or any other way that you can reached.  When you add this information, remember that your articles will be out there for a long time, you may not be able to change it so easily.
• Ezine Subscription: It is best to use a URL address rather than your email address for this.  You will be able to capture their email address and gain them as a reader, develop their trust in your service.
• Free Bonus: You can add a free report on your niche that will enhance your reputation as an expert on your topic.

While the things previously listed are great, you may want to avoid things such as including all your website listings.  You don’t want to have a bunch of websites that have no relevance to your article.  Keep the website that is related to your article only.  Also, avoid pitches for any products that have nothing to do with your product or service.

Also, your Resource Box should not be any larger than 20% of your entire article.  The article is the meat, and that is what your readers are looking for.  Your Resource Box is just the little extra for them to learn more about you and how to find more great information like they just read.Think of your article marketing strategy as “Give and Take”; You “Give” with your article and you “Take” with the Resource Box.

You are writing an article as your product advertising, a very inexpensive form of advertising I might add.  When you purchase advertising in any other form, you stop paying, the ad stops advertising.  Your article will be doing its job for years, selling your name, your product, all the while, creating more success for you.

It is vital that you know your product as well as your readers.  You have an audience and the more you know who they are, the more successful your articles will be.  Keywords are important to your article as well, know your keywords, include them 3 to 4 times throughout your article.

These are just a few things you need to know before you get started on your article marketing campaign.  If you know your subject, just write about it.  You don’t have to be a writer or a poet to do this.  Anyone can do it, you just need to begin.

Do you know the answer to what Colin, Mike & Tellman have in common?

On of the things they have in common is that all of them have some exciting news to share. 

First on the news about Mike & Tellman’s…

As I sure you can tell, the buzz about TrafficFusion is getting pretty crazy… what is the last day you have heard nothing about TrafficFusion?  Yeap… same for me.

Now, Mike Filsaime has been aksed by Tellman Knudson to get on a conference call with him…

Tellman says he has been doing Integration Marketing that he too learned from Mark Joyner and has asked Mike to put his money where his mouth is.

And I am sure, not only Tellman, but also you might want to see if Mike’s HyperJava software being sold in TrafficFusion is the real deal or a pile of hype.

So, Tellman has been testing it for the last 7 days and will announce his results on the call with Mike.

And you know what I like about Tellman?  He is not too shy to say so if it’s garbage, he said that he will announce it as such on the call if that’s the case.

Mike has a lot on the line here. If his software is everything he says it is, Tellman will give the world the results and we will all find out.

Mike also says that he will explain more about Traffic Fusion and will grill Tellman on how he has used Integration Marketing in his business and there will be a lot to learn.

Mike says there will also be a very special surprise guest.  I don’t want to spoil it for you, but my guess would be it’s Mike’s mentor, the Godfather on Internet Marketing, Mark Joyner.  What would your guess be?

Also, Mike will finally reveal the price only to those that attend the call.  Yes, that’s right… the price will be made public on the call.

Make sure you register for this call at:

http://ViralURL.com/presents/TrafficFusion

The call is on Monday the 15th of September at 8 pm EST.  That’s just 18 hours before the actual launch.

Next, the exiting news from Colin Klinkert, co-owner of ViralURL.com and he gave me the green light to share this with you. 

During the last 17 month he was secretly working on a brand new viral site.  It’s basically a Video sharing, safe lists and web 2.0 social networking system combined in a viral fashion.

Besides that, it has a really cool revenue sharing model that will pay a share of the overall profits to active members… and since you are on of the first to hear about it, you are at an advantage.

How early is this for you?  Less then 48 hours ago I was one of the very first to actually signup and check this out myself.  Not all features are active yet, but will be activated soon.

The site is right now in pre-launch and Colin just announced a pre-launch contest, giving away over $6,700 in prizes.

But I recommend that you set aside some dedicated time listening to it and take notes as Patric has a bit of a Singaporean accent and I don’t want you to miss any of the nuggets.

There are generally three levels of marketers marketing online…

1. Those that haven’t make money online before

2. Those that make money but not consistently

3. Those that knows and ARE making money online

I will be able to address each of them and why you’re in that level but first – let me share the secret of making real money online.

The first thing is to truly identify what you’re trying to achieve. I mean, is your plan is to make money in 24 hours, a week or 6 months later? Do you want to create an instant flux of income, part time income, passive income or to completely replace your job? How about this – do you just want to make money online, to own a business or to create a legacy like owning YouTube.com or some kind?

DUDE – KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE WILL DETERMINE YOUR BUSINESS MODEL.

To stress my point, you can make money in 24 hours by selling some junk on eBay.com or email to your friends with affiliate link to buy a book from Amazon.com. But is that your goal? Or your goal is to make a million dollar online? Well, you can make a million with the right business model and you’ll also need understand the efforts needed to put in. But it is POSSIBLE; many have done that including me.

Next is knowing your market. Sounds like some cheesy advice you’ve heard everywhere- the difference here is, I know what I’m talking about. Say your ‘business model’ is to write your own ebook and sell it online. That’s great but what’s the topic and to who?

You can’t say, “My market is selling ebook”. That’s insane. Market, market, market.

Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com can say his market is selling all kinds of books online and he’s RIGHT. Most people don’t understand is that, there’s only ONE Jeff Bezos. He is the pioneer and market leader. If you are going to have a business selling books online, just ask yourself this- will you buy books from Amazon.com or some new site that you don’t know? Go figure.

Once you know these, then learn tactics and strategies. There’s a BIG myth that goes around saying that tactics are unimportant – you just need strategies. That’s like saying… to achieve goals, use ‘Laws of Attraction’ but you don’t need to know how to practice it.

Both are equally important.

Tactics are normally used for quick results and their effectiveness is subjected to change. They might work very effectively right now but 6 months down the road, they might not work anymore.

Strategies are more like principles that are set in stone but I’m not saying that they’ll never change.

A quick example – using popup is a strategy that is proven to generate more sales. But different types of pop ups will give you different results. Knowing which type pop up to use, where and when IS tactical.

Once you have the tactics and strategies in your hand, then it’s easy for you to determine what traffic source to use, what is your front-end income generator and so on.

Level one of marketers who don’t make money online is simply because they probably don’t know what they truly want (long term or short term income), don’t realize the importance of selecting a market or don’t have strategies and tactics.

Level two are normally those who are tactical. To have consistent income, you’ll need to be strategic and understand your business model.

Doing all of these correctly will ensure that you’ll experience a different level of success compare to where you’re today.

Today we want to share with you Clive Anderson’s ViralURL case study.

Clive joined ViralURL on the 10th of February 2008 and is currently a Gold member.

Check out his case study below…

Hi,

Clive Anderson here of FirstForIncome.com,

I just wanted to submit a case study of my own interpretation of ViralURL.com as evidence of the unique features, benefits, and most importantly overall results that can be found by using a system of this nature.

I have been online now for almost seven years and spent the last five of those using Internet marketing strategies of one form or another to achieve my objectives.

I had worked and used other systems of a similar nature to ViralURL.com , and to say I was unimpressed would really be an understatement.

So why would anybody use ViralURL.com as an addition or main feature for your online activities or experience? I suppose the short answer is, if you are serious about your online prospects or in search of a genuine tried and tested income solution you would be hard pushed to find anything quite as comprehensive and effective as ViralURL.com .

I don’t say this because I now use the system, but because I didn’t, and all the time I didn’t I was seriously holding myself back, marketing wise and financially as well. Now having mentioned the fact that I am a paid up member, I should point out my convictions are not gained easily as I have (Like so many others online) had my hands burnt on several occasions over the years costing me virtually everything I ever had.

So if like me you fear that in some cases testimony could also be a sideline of the programmer I suggest on this occasion you cast away any doubts as to the facts and details that I am about to share with you about a amazing system that has been a long time coming.

I was shown the ViralURL system some time back by a friend and online associate Jason Lamure, who was already running his own successful online business called My-Easy-Promoter . Jason happened to mention it to me as when I mentioned I was looking for an additional support program for my own online activities alongside my own website FirstForIncome . He said that he had generated some great income from the internal mailing system within ViralURL, which allows users to post their own ads to 3,000 random members every three days. Jason went on to suggest that this one benefit alone was worth its weight in gold.

Having followed Jason’s advise I can indeed confirm that the internal mailing system found within ViralURL is without doubt worth joining for and upgrading, but not just to create instant revenue. By having a lead capture page attached to an email the amount of subscribers to a newsletter is simply staggering, so not only can this one thing bring revenue for a program, system or business, but it can also be used for list boosting as well.

For a program that hosts many valuable benefits and bonuses such as this it is easy to see why its members hold it so dear.

But wait, that is far from the only line of income that the ViralURL system is able to generate. The main feature and again an extremely valuable one to any marketer is the URL cloaking system itself. So easy to initiate and use, yet versatile enough to improve any online activities as well as peace of mind, not only that, but by linking to my own programs as well as the ViralURL.com program. For every preview of a URL that incorporates the link cloaker brings with it additional forms of traffic, which can prove very profitable.

There will be those who join the ViralURL program through a top or bottom link display and upgrade giving commission as well as credits that are generated every time one of my own pages using the ViralURL cloak are displayed. These are processed and are transformed into either exposures of my own text link on other peoples pages being displayed or my own banners that will be displayed throughout the entire ViralURL network.

The free bonus section alone has saved me thousands on marketing fees and set-up costs, and in fact is so large I can’t believe it actually took me nearly half a day simply to wade through.

One of the best lines of income for ViralURL has to be the program itself. With so many addictive benefits and features available throughout to enhance the whole online experience new members tend to quickly grasp what is actually available here and more so what they can actually achieve from using it. This makes the whole income side of ViralURL and easy and smooth transition producing the kinds of income that are not to be sniffed at or taken lightly.

That said every program that I have ever promoted online needs resource.

With so much on offer and for such little investment it just wouldn’t be right for a system to be able to offer anything more than has already been listed, but ViralURL has again broken the mold by including in the membership my very own downline mailer. This has not only saved me time in list building and managing an autoresponder, but means I can use the entire ViralURL system as an income generator and listbuilder all from the same promotional activities.

When it comes to the promotional tools themselves this has to be one of the most newbie friendly systems available. “A program without promotion is merely a website.” ViralURL.com is brought to life by one of the most comprehensive promotional toolboxes I have ever had the good fortune of having access to.

There is an absolutely massive array of various types of promotional tools, some of which I still haven’t even been able to get around to using, and there is even a 19 step tool guide for potentially unlocking thousands.

When it comes to in-house technology I couldn’t find a more user friendly atmosphere if I tried. For every aspect of the program they have devised and created a short descriptive video that allows me to see exactly how to use and get the best out of any part of the system. On top of that there is a live support system should I get really stuck. Most of the program is pretty much self-explanatory, but because it is so extensive and worthwhile these user aids have provided a great comfort zone.

I get more and more encouraged every time I get an email from Colin and Frank, (Founders of ViralURL.com ) or go to my back office at the site as it seems almost every day or so they are introducing something new and wonderful that is only going to benefit myself and all the other users or they create another worthy income stream.

It just seems you go away thinking about how great something would be and by the next time you visit the system there is something installed or available that almost makes it seem as though they have been reading my mind.

Testimonials are one thing but to give a true and worthwhile interpretation of what makes a genuine program tick can take a little more than just a few lines. Personally if I didn’t hold a program in high esteem based on its own merit and results I certainly wouldn’t venture to elaborate or highlight its procedures within, for any cost.

I’m convinced that ViralURL.com is going to become one of the most rewarding and worthwhile ventures online. The fact that I am involved and will be taken along for the ride seems one of the most exciting prospects I have ever had to look forward to. My only hope is that the team that I have now and will be continually creating along the way will be as appreciative and value the opportunity that they will have at their disposal and use it as the catalyst that it was intended to be.

Something as valuable as this can only come along once or maybe twice in a persons lifetime, if we take our eye off of the ball or look the other way we could stand to miss out on all of the riches and glory!

Colin Kinkert and Frank Bauer have conceived and created what I can only describe as a rolling online masterpiece that gains strength and value with the continual momentum that it creates. Some of the most recognized marketers online have given this outstanding income generation system their highest merit and stamp of approval. That in itself is proof enough of not only its value to its members, but also its overall online ability and worth.

I’m just an every day person with a drive to simply better myself, who just happened to find and believe in the ability and dreams of two amazingly talented online marketing moguls. The results my future now looks set to hold because of this brief encounter are looking even better than I could have ever possibly imagined.

ViralURL is a driving force I shall hold dear for a very long time to come.

Thank you for reading; I hope your next step is to take action as I did.

Kind Regards

Clive Anderson
