Good Morning, I hope your Monday has started out well.  I wanted to touch base this morning on a new project we are starting this week. 

We are testing video and video submission traffic generation.  Now this is not a new traffic generation method…but we have not documented our results before and decided this would be a great way to test and teach this method.

So we will be posting our methods, processes and results for you to read, test and implement.

Today we will cover a couple free tools you can use to create you videos.

1. Jing – New free version from TechSmith.  Excellent new tool!

2. CamStudio

Both these free tools come with extensive help files.  I recommend downloading and getting a feel for each.  We will cover more on recording videos in the next post!

Have a great Monday!

Let’s say you started up your own business. The only way for the business to succeed rather than fail is for you to promote it.  You can do this by paying for advertisements or get the same attention for free through article marketing. To help you get started, here are 3 secrets.

1. First, you must come up with a catchy title to promote your business. Ever heard the line, “Curiosity killed the cat”, in this case no one is going to get hurt. But could you just imagine what would happen if people would like to know more about the article just by reading the title? It would also be helpful if you use keywords so people who type it will see your article. At the same time, you can mention the benefits of what reading your articles can do for them.

2. Second, make sure that your article is well organized. Instead of just writing your article paragraph by paragraph, maximize the use bullets or numbers to stress important points. This will make their reading experience a memorable one because they are able to remember it.

3. Third, your articles have to be informative and not just impress the reader. You can do so by using simple words instead of using big ones by putting this in a way that the average person can understand. You may have had an experience at the hospital where the doctor told you of your condition using some medical term that sounds serious but in English simply means you have a stomach ache.

Once you finish writing the article, read it over and see if you understand it. Better yet, give this to someone and see what they say. If there are some concerns, edit it because although you may be an expert in this matter, your readers may not and the reason why they want to read it is to learn more about what you have to offer.

Don’t forget to check on your article to see if there is anything new you would like to add. This is where variety comes in as there are different ways of stressing a point when the bottom line is that you want people to visit your site.

You can get new information by joining and posting in online forums and blogs. Some even put snippets in their articles. You should add something daily and don’t forget to put a link to your site. 

4. Lastly, each article has an article summary. Most websites require this so in just 3 or 5 sentences, get down to it and say what your article is all about and why should they spend their time reading the entire thing. If you don’t put any effort here, you may have already lost the opportunity to make it look interesting for the reader to find out more.

Promoting your site thought article marketing is very easy. You just have to follow the 4 secrets mentioned and then use this to your advantage. Again, you need to have a catchy title, make sure it is well organized and informative so people will be encouraged to visit your site.

If done properly, you will undoubtedly get more traffic which is what this form of advertising is all about.
