The excitement of a launch is a real rush. You get the product ready, the site, the payment buttons lined up and then, WHAM! You open the doors and the customers do the rest.

But wait...

Click here to buy it now.


But, you’ll get much more than the ebook alone! I have audio, so you can listen if you don’t want to read, or you can put it into your iPod and walk down the block listening. I usually put the mp3s on a CD, since I don’t have an iPod and listen to them in my car while driving here or there.


Ready to buy?


And that’s not all!


I have 4 free gifts for you.



  • John Botscharow’s Guerilla Marketing Journal is great and will give you some tricks to boost your marketing efforts.
  • Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is THE book. You must read it, if you do nothing else.
  • Power List Building through Association by Alex Sampson will help you to explode your list.
  • Jason Mangram’s Instant Traffic Formula will do the same for visitors to your site.


Whoa. Huh?


OK, but there’s more…


You can pay with PayPal, CreditCard, e-Gold, AlertPay or CacheCard. How great is that?


Here’s something better. ANYONE can afford it.


The ebook, audio files, and all 4 free gifts are only $7.99!

Only a Few More Hours to Go!

Whew!

When you prepare a product for launch, you set a deadline, thinking that you'll meet it without a problem.

Then, you can't get your sales letter to work properly and your thank you page is messed up beyond all repair. Your download is so big that you have to split it, and you've attracted more editing and writing work than you can sanely handle.

But...

It's now ALL ready to go. Just less than 18 hours and I'm done! That's a record. :-)

I hope you're ready because 7 Secrets to Writing Killer Articles is so simple, you'll wonder how you wrote articles before. Or, if you haven't tried yet, it will show you how you can write them and make them readily accepted.

Keep your eyes peeled. 7 Secrets is on its way! And just wait until you see the price. You won't be able to resist.

Oh, and did I mention free gifts? Yep. There are 4 of them.

Let's see... Book + mp3s + four free gifts for a very low price. (It's so low, you may smile a lot when you see it, rather than clicking through because it's something you just can't afford right now. Everyone has this much hanging out in one account or another. You'll see.)

Sound like a no-brainer, eh? :-)

Secret #2

Now that you have an idea, what do you do with it?

I'll bet you're thinking of a broad topic. Let's say dogs.

But what about dogs? If you just write about dogs, that would mean you'd have to cover dog breeds, dog food, dog training, dog grooming, etc. There are way too many things to write about dogs.

OK... so, let's think about that for a moment.

Dog breeds is a good topic, especially if you have a favorite. Personally, I switched to cats after owning a brace of Afghan hounds that had a 13-puppy litter together, but let's choose a breed.

Afghans.

OK, what about them?

Development, behavior, training, foods that are best for them, how to keep knots out of their long fur (I doubt that one will ever work), but you see what I'm getting at? It's like eating an elephant. Take your topic and narrow it down one bite at a time.

But I can show you how to do that quite easily. It will help you to conjure many ideas from the same topic that will allow you to write several targeted articles from one idea. It's also a very simple technique. Would you like to see it?


Go to: http://pats7secrets.com and sign up for advance notice of publication. When this thing hits, don't forget, only 1,000 will be sold. You won't believe how affordable the price is, either. Go to the movies? Skip a week.

Get in now before they're all gone!

Getting Your Articles Out There

After you write that killer article, where will you submit it? Will it be a one-time shot? Or, does the article base distribute the article for you?

Guess which kind I like best. :-)

iSnare is the best place to submit your articles because it's not a one-time shot. You pay them $10, and you can have 10 articles submitted to 40,000 publishers. I'd say that for $1 an article, that's quite a deal.

iSNARE Free Articles Directory

Another great place to send folks is Ezine Articles.com. Though the site won't distribute the article, submissions are free and because it's such a reputable site, your article may be picked up by ezine publishers anyway. You can check it out here: http://ezinearticles.com/, and one of my articles about condo life here: http://ezinearticles.com/?id=187847.

AdvertisingKnowHow is a traffic exchange, but it's a great place for posting articles and even better for you, if you have a newsletter that you're promoting, an ezine, or even a private blog. You have to join to submit, but it's not just a great traffic exchange. I've gotten hundreds of subscribers to my marketing tips newsletter from there.

There are about a gazillion places to submit, but I won't continue. Just plug "article submission" into Google and you'll come up with more than you can handle. Best of luck!

Secret #1

Of course, I'm not going to give it to you, but I'll hint at it:

You need an idea.

There are many ways to find out what people are thinking. What do people want, if you're using article writing to support your online business? In fact, what are people thinking before you start an online business? What ISN'T everyone selling?

Niche marketing has become a "buzzphrase" of sorts. You need to find something that everyone wants, something that they need to solve a problem, or something so darned ingenious that they just want to have it.

Once you've figured out that problem, then you need to create or find a little-known product to represent.

Need an idea?

OK. How's this: People need to learn how to navigate this online insanity fast. Yet, if you have been marketing very long, you know that the learning curve is very long and can be quite expensive.

A product that will do three things for you is Online Marketing Explained v2.1 Brandable. Yes, it's my book; however, it's something people into online marketing need and it's not widely known. Though it's had 2,351 copies of the non-brandable version downloaded, think about all the people on the Internet who haven't seen it yet and want to brand it, but don't have the capability.

And guess what?

I'm the only one pushing it. So, drop over to OVMarketing and check it out.

But remember it's just an illustration of what you can do. Find a product that's quality, something you're interested in, and then, write side articles to support your sales. Use your tag line at the end of the article to sell the product.

Simple? Yep. You'll be amazed at your results.

Welcome to the 7 Secrets Blog!

(All Links Open in New Window)

Hello,

If you're interested in writing articles to boost your traffic and ultimately, your income, you're in the right place.

Anyone who is interested in writing articles for the Web are welcome. Heck, even if you aren't, but think you might be, this blog is still for you.

To give you a little bit about me so that you know I'm for read, I'm a professional writer and actually have made my living writing for the past 15 years. Over that time, I have had 10 books published in hardcover (see them here at Amazon) by various publishers (Andrews McMeel, Lucent Books, Greenwood Press) and countless articles and short stories for national and regional magazines and newspapers. I know writing and I know it well.

So, why am I starting this blog?

Of course, I'd like you to sign up for advance notice of my new ebook, 7 Secrets to Writing Killer Articles. Actually, the ebook, which comes with a free audio version, is not just for people who want to write online, but for any budding writer.

But I really enjoy sharing knowledge. You can see that's so by another blog of mine, WriteforKids.net, where I teach tricks and tips on writing for kids. Actually, many of the tips you may be interested in will pop up there as well.

However, I want to use this blog to answer questions. What is your block? Are you having trouble coming up with ideas? Once you have an idea, do you know where to begin? How do you organize your thoughts? How do you come up with a great headline, and so on. I'm sure you can think up more questions than me at this point because 15 years ago, I had all those questions, too.

I've learned the answers to all those things over the years, and I'd like to share them with you. Please post your questions in the comments area. I'll be waiting!
