Blog Posts and Articles

Blog posts tend to be shorter than articles, however, some posts can reach 1,000 words or more. A blog post is often written in a more friendly and conversational manner. This is the type of post you would write that allows people to get to know who you are.

An article, on the other hand, tends to be more informative or educational. This content could be published on your website, and article directories. Articles tend to be longer and can be split into two or more parts, to create a series.

Product Reviews

As the name suggests this is a piece of content that is reviewing a particular product. For instance, affiliate marketers use this type of content to promote a product on their website.

A good review is typically around 700 words in length and provides the reader with the pros and the cons of a product. If you are planning on writing lots of reviews, it often helps own the product. Therefore, you can give your unbiased opinion on it, and you can offer suggestions on how to use it, any issues that someone might experience, and what your favorite things are about it.

A content production plan is vital when you want to communicate to your audience about the news of your latest product review launch and keeping up with the deadlines of specials, etc.

Reports

Reports can vary in length. From 2,500 words in length to those that run over 10,000 words. Therefore, a report should have a table of contents page or be divided into sections.

It often helps to include images, diagrams, and photographs in a report. This makes the report appear visually pleasing to the eye and easier to read. Not everyone will print out a report. Make sure the layout looks professional and is easy to read on your digital device.

Many people use reports as an opt-in gift to exchange for email information. By building a list of interested subscribers, you can create a relationship by them getting to know, like, and trust you. For instance, you build this relationship through a nurture series created when they first sign up to your list.

As your relationship grows, your audience will look forward to hearing about your offers along with valuable content they can use.

How to Write SEO optimized Articles

How to Write SEO Optimized Articles

As an online content creator, knowing how to write SEO Optimized articles for your blog and other published content.

Begin with an article that promotes your products and promotes your blog by pulling in traffic from Google and other search engines.

This is referred to as search engine optimized (SEO) content.

How do you do it?

Choose the keywords your market is already searching for in the search engines. Next, research the topic and create content that will rank your blog pages well in search engines for these keywords.

Step1 Choose Your Keywords Wisely

Go to WordTracker.com or your favorite keyword tool. Enter your broad keywords, such as “bodybuilding” or “parrots,” and look at the results. The tool will show you how many people search for each word in the major search engines.

Of course, it would be incredible if you could rank well for a word that gets hundreds or thousands of searches each day. So you can imagine the traffic you’d get. But the thing is, many other marketers are doing full SEO campaigns to rank well for those words. And these SEO experts are good at what they’d do, so they’d easily outrank you for the most popular keywords.

The solution?

Ready to learn how to write SEO optimized articles?

Yes, I'm Ready!

Focus on the Longtail Keywords

Longtail keywords can be four or five-word phrases. They may not have as many people searching for them each day. BUT they also don’t have a lot of competition. And that means you can rank well for them.

Tip: WordTracker provides a KEI (keyword effectiveness index) value. This gives you an idea of how popular a word is relative to how much competition there is. You want to find words with a value of at least 100. However, the higher, the better.

Example: A competitive keyword is something like “weight loss.” But a less competitive longtail keyword is “weight loss for women over 40.”

Step 2 Create Content Around the Keywords and Longtail Keywords

Once you’ve created a list of keywords with a high KEI value, the next step is to write articles around them.

You should include your keyword in the title of your article and one or two times for every 100 words of content. So if your article is 400 words, your keyword should appear four to eight times in the article.

For example, you can create an article titled “The Secrets of Weight Loss for Women Over 40.” Then you can sprinkle the keyword throughout the article, such as, “Weight loss for women over 40 – is it even possible?” Or, “Maybe you’ve been thinking about weight loss for women over 40.”

NO ONE else is doing things online like you guys are doing it...You guys are building and teaching what I want to learn how to do with my online efforts...Today I saw the future!"

Shelley Merchant

I have wandered around blindly for over 4 years wondering why things weren't working...the things y'all teach are not being taught elsewhere. Instead, the advice is vague and leaves you feeling stupid because you're not figuring it out.

I cannot say enough good things...the only problem is that there's so much good stuff that I don't want to sleep b/c I want to learn it all.

I'm beginning to feel like a plan is forming and that I might actually make things work.

Frank Sousa

With so much JUNK being peddled online it's good to see guys like you out there teaching what's real.

How to Start a Mailing List

By David Perdew Leave a Comment

How to Start a Mailing List in 3 Simple Steps

Learn how to start a mailing list by following these 3 steps. One of the keys to building a successful business is to build responsive, targeted mailing lists. This includes your prospect list and your list of buyers. For the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on how to build a prospect list.

When you are building your email list, always keep in mind that you don't want everyone to sign up for your freebies. Instead, focus on your ideal client or customer's needs. Know their pain points and focus on attracting those people.

To have a quality list, you need a specific target that craves what you offer.

How to Start a Mailing List

Step 1: Create an Enticing Lead Magnet

Your first step is to do your market research to find out what your market wants. You can do this by visiting marketplaces like Udemy.com, ClickBank.com, and Amazon.com to see what sort of infoproducts they’re already buying. Look for bestselling products in your niche and multiple products on the same topic, both of which are signs that a product is popular.

The key here is to find out what type of product people are buying, but then create something fresh. In other words, don’t copy anyone’s product. Instead, create a product on the same topic with your own fresh perspective and unique tips and information.

Step 2: Capture Leads

The next step is to set up a landing page so you can start capturing peoples’ information.

Here you need two things:

#1 A Trusted Autoresponder

For example Aweber, GetResponse, ConvertKit, or something similar. Follow their instructions for setting up a mailing list and inserting an opt-in form into your lead page.

#2 Compelling Content for Your Lead Page

If you’re not familiar with how to craft benefit-driven sales copy, then outsource this task to a professional. Search Google for copywriters, or post a job on a freelancing site like UpWork.com.

Step 3: Create Emails

Every email you send from your initial autoresponder series through all live broadcasts should seek to build relationships and presell your offers.

With Those Goals in Mind, Follow These Tips

Provide Useful Yet Incomplete Information

The useful information helps you build good relationships with your subscribers, while the “incomplete” information gives you an opportunity to sell the rest of the solution on the backend.

For example, you can provide really good and useful dieting tips, and then sell a diet guide at the end of the email.

Promote One Offer Per Email

This helps boost your conversion rate.

Create a series. People rarely buy a product the first time they hear about it. That’s why you’ll want to send three to five emails for each product you’re promoting.

For example, if you’re selling a diet guide, then you might send out a three-part series called “The Three Keys to Rapid Weight Loss.” Each email would provide one useful key and then promote the offer at the end.

Why Build an Email List?

Building a solid, responsive list of your ideal clients and customers is vital for the success of your business. You need buyers, right?

Done correctly, your list will be loyal, repeat customers.

Building a responsive list is about taking these steps:

Offering something people really want in exchange for their email address.

Sending really useful content on a regular basis so that people keep opening your emails.

When you build a responsive list, then making money is as simple as promoting offers that you know your audience will really love. So, go ahead and put this information to work to start building your list as soon as possible!
