Article marketing continues to be top of the promotion list for people tackling internet network marketing and systems such as The Renegade Network Marketer have opened up a success floodgate for network marketers.

It’s cheap in fact, any cost is almost negligible; it can reach a wide audience and will continue to produce long after an article has been written and submitted for publication. But the majority of network marketers are still making major mistakes.

Untargeted marketing is one of the Achilles heels of the network marketing industry - people applying hit and miss prospecting with little result. Many MLMers are approaching their article marketing the same way.That is, not optimizing their articles for a keyword or keyword phrase.

The emergence of the internet has spawned a new generation of online marketers and most are hungry to learn the specific skills required to make it a success. Article marketing is a great way to start but if you are not applying focused and targeted techniques then it will be unlikely you will achieve much success at all.

In this article, we want to give you some brief examples of using keywords in your article marketing and why they are so important.

Targeting Focused Keywords

Keywords are the crucial first step. Writing an article without targeting a keyword or keyword phrase is indirect article marketing. The article may be well written and be full of good information but it will confuse the heck out of the search engines.

Keywords are the fodder the search engines feed on. When someone types a phrase into their favorite search engine they are looking for information related to that particular phrase.

For example, if you are looking for information on internet network marketing you would type that in and be presented with a list of options.

Now if your article is not optimized for a specific keyword and related terms then it’s really not going to rank for anything. In fact, it may even be a case of whatever words you use in the title, will be the words that rank. This is untargeted and hit and miss.

Long Tail Keywords

So always target a specific keyword. We suggest targeting long tail phrases. Phrases of three or more words. They are easier to rank for and while there will be less people searching for them, they are more focused and people typing them in are usually on a mission, have made up their mind that this is what they want and are generally close to making a buying decision.

So someone typing in learn internet network marketing is likely to be more inclined to buy than someone simply typing in network marketing. The latter will be searching more out of curiosity.

So always frame your articles around a specific keyword phrase and look for terms that indicate a person is focused just on that particular term. This will take your internet MLM to the next level.

The Problem With Internet Marketing Newbies
Posted by Margaret O'Connor Flanigan at 11:46 pm in Online Business, Promotion and Marketing

Internet Marketing newbies are those who form the largest portion of those who fail to make a living on the internet. This article is to help newbies not only survive but succeed and ultimately make a living online. If you are a newbie, chances are, these characteristics describe you.

You dream of making a lavish, full-time income on the internet, mostly on autopilot. This allows you the freedom to live the kind of lifestyle you desire without financial worries.

You are on many, many lists. Every Online Marketing guru has your name and email address on their lists. As a result, you get bombarded with at least 100 emails from these guys everyday.

You are on the internet everyday trying to figure out how to run a successful online business. You probably learn new things almost daily. You are constantly watching videos, listening to audios or reading e-books learning the newest money-making system on the internet.

You buy more info-products, software, scripts, systems, ‘how-to’ methods etc than you actually use. As a result, you have tons of PLR, MRR and RR e-books, the latest software and scripts, memberships to all sorts of programs that promise to be the silver bullet that answers the basic question, “What Must I Do To Succeed On The Internet?” sitting in your hard drive gathering virtual dust.

The combined effect of these characteristics is information overload and analysis paralysis. In other words, you hardly take any action based on what you already know or have in hand. You may think this article is irrelevant to you because you do take action. If that is so then why are you not succeeding beyond your wildest dreams? And why is there such a high failure rate (some say as high as 95%) among internet marketers?

The reason is that ‘take action’ is far more than just putting up a webpage, setting up your autoresponder, writing some articles, bidding on keywords in Adwords, advertising on Craigslist or even creating your own product. All these are necessary but the way to big bucks online is far more than that. Here’s what to do:

Firstly, reduce the number of lists you’re on. Do not worry about losing out on the latest information. You already have enough information to put yourself on the path to success if you just use whatever you’ve got now instead of perpetually reading, studying and learning the so-called latest method in internet marketing. Do you think the gurus got to where they are by constantly reading e-books without doing actual marketing?

Secondly, spend your time such that it gives maximum returns everyday. Reading e-books, watching videos and listening to podcasts are good but they don’t make you any money in itself (not to mention it takes half a day for some videos to download). Website design and creating graphics do not make you money by itself. All these activities are essential but if you spend too much time on them, you drastically minimize your income potential. You must proportion your time wisely between that which actually makes you money and that which does not.

Thirdly, focus on taking action, one step at a time. Every Internet Marketing project involves roughly the same steps. Find a profitable niche, identify keywords, create your own or find an affiliate product, create your website with a lead-capture form, drive traffic and track your progress. Thereafter, build a relationship with those who subscribe to your list through a series of emails. Do not merely shove offer after offer down their throats but be personal and give good tips and contents that would benefit your subscribers.

Most Online Marketing gurus say that making money on the internet is not rocket science. Actually, it’s true. The steps above are simple but if done regularly, will produce results sooner or later. It sure beats all the hit-and-miss efforts that so many newbies make, that result in ultimate failure. Online success comes by doing the right things the right way.

The term attraction marketing has become a fashionable one in the network marketing arena but do you really know what it means?

Basically, it means attracting prospects into your leads funnel who find themselves there without you needing to go out and hassle people to take a look at a business opportunity. In other words, you put your message in front of a targeted and hungry network marketing or home business seeking crowd and people respond to it by contacting you for more information.

If this is foreign to you particularly as a network marketer don’t be surprised. Essentially, systems in the past require one to sit down an d make a list of people they think might be interested in looking at their opportunity. Problem with this the majority on those lists aren’t and the issue of high rejection rates eventually leads to people quitting their business plain and simple.

Now what if people came to you instead? What if they came across your offer because they wanted to? Wouldn’t that be a more attractive lead generation process. Yes indeed and that’s what network marketers are learning in droves today through programs like the Renegade system. The term MLM attraction marketing just makes sense.

Only deal with people who actually want to look at your opportunity. But how do you achieve this when offline marketing methods limit a person’s ability to promote their message.

Creating Online Real Estate For Attraction Marketing

Ann Sieg made instant enemies when she proposed the use of the internet to attract leads into a person’s network marketing business.

To those bogged down with old school methods the thought of re-educating themselves and their down line for some odd reason didn’t resonate. Why we’ll never know.

Here’s an example of how powerful adopting attraction marketing online is compared to the pedestrian off line methods.

Off line, you find a prospect, you give then some initial information, take them to a couple of meetings and then hope they’ll join your business. This whole process could take up to a month and that’s just with one prospect.

More to the point, your prospecting net is not cast wide. In other words, you have a specific area to concentrate in and finding genuine prospects is like fishing for salt water fish in a freshwater river. They are scarce.

Online, it’s a completely different scenario. You put up a website, a blog, create Web 2.0 properties such as a Squidoo lens, a Hub page or a Gather page and you drive targeted traffic to them.

Prospects come into your leads funnel not one at a time, but when done right, in droves. You have a marketing system in place which then serenades these prospects with valuable information. Some will join and some won’t.

The difference between the two is, you not only have many more prospects to work with but your reach is not confined to a specific area; it’s worldwide. That’s the power of network attraction marketing.

Free Viral Marketing Offers Many Options
Posted by Margaret O'Connor Flanigan at 9:32 am in Uncategorized

One of the best examples of a free viral marketing campaign is to look at Hotmail. The use of this worldwide email service allows ads to be passed along without even having to get the permission or cooperation of the subscriber. Hotmail has an advertisement at the bottom of all outgoing emails. This promotion is to get more people to sign up for free email accounts. So, every time someone uses Hotmail to send an email they are promoting the website. The statistics show that with this method one subscriber will, over time, potentially refer ten people to the service. If this is the case then by the fourth generation of referrals ten thousand people have been referred. That is an incredible amount of traffic for doing no more than putting a small promotional ad at on the bottom of outgoing email. It is an unobtrusive and subtle marketing plan.

ECards are a great example of free viral marketing. When someone wants to send a greeting card by email, whether it is for a birthday, a get well card, season greeting or other special occasion card they go to one of the free services. These services will send a card to the receiver which can only be accessed through a link to their website. The card does not come directly to a person’s email account. They can only pick up their card by going to the services site and accessing it that way. A large percentage of people, when they are getting their card, will put the site into their favorites to keep for future reference. They will often also send their own eCards, either in response to the one they received or because there are people they want o send a greeting to. This continues to bring traffic to the card site.

There are many forms of viral campaigns you can try. One of the best ways to determine if this is the answer for you is to surf the net and check out what others are doing. This will give you an appreciation of the various kinds of free viral marketing promotions that can be tried and so allow you to judge whether this is the approach you want to take in your ad campaigns to promote your product or service.
