To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers.

This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular.

There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, which is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better contents.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.

You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that same articles?

Mention keywords at strategic places. Just be sure not to overdo them. Some are even using anchor texts which is also an effective method. But it is important to know that majority of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings. Not just increase the number of visitors to your site.
Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you intended it to have.

3. Publishing content that does not help your readers.

Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site. And any visitors it can generate are fine.

Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.

You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight.
Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.

Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.

Pornography and prostitution is nothing new to the world, it has been around for years and years and will carry on to do so, of recent times it appears to be everywhere, sex shops in high streets, top shelf magazines in newsagents, recognised red light zones, legal brothels, mobile phone videos and even porn star name t-shirts are used to promote pornography.

Pornography has had many effects on society, it has recently been suggested that violent porn should have a blanket ban due to rapists being influenced by such films. A rapist also admitted that a girl wearing a FCUK t-shirt inspired him to rape her and these are just some of the bad effects of having a wide range of highly accessible porn.

Whether it is legal or illegal there will always be prostitution in society due to there being a high demand of men willing to pay for sex and women prepared to accept that money. Brothels have a mixture of good and bad press as they are seen to confine the issue to a particular area, cut curb crawling and sexual activity in public places.

If you go back to the early 1900′s sex before marriage was looked upon as the devil’s work, the many unwanted pregnancies due to the lack of protection were dealt with down back alleys in an inhumane fashion. These abortions were a very painful experience and managed to keep many women away from pre-marital sex.

Instead of sexual intercourse many lovers decided to perform what was referred to at the time as safe sex, this was a form of foreplay involving the man simulating sex with the females arm pit. Even though this did manage to cut down the unwanted pregnancies the view of pre-marital sex and pornography amongst the world was looked upon in bad light.

In these days porn was in literature with racy stories and even these were viewed upon as revolting and unnatural by most, there were few pictures and drawings that existed but nevertheless they did exist, even dating back to the Egyptians with hieroglyphics.

The 60′s was a start for sex becoming more acceptable due to the free love period and hippy influence, cannabis was a factor as roadies and hippy’s turned to cannabis to relax and lose their inhibitions. Pornography snowballed from there sparking a huge industry that started out in theatres where nudity was allowed on stage if there was no movement, it then proceeded to still images strung together to simulate movement.

Then along came pornography magazines which became popular amongst many ages of men with titles such as playboy and mayfair dominating the market, the amount of money in this industry is clear to see if Hugh Hefner’s playboy mansion is anything to go by.

Pornography by this time had a following as single men used it to release any sexual tension built up, although many men were too embarrassed to buy pornography magazines and still the market was socially viewed as inappropriate and looked down upon by many.

The internet became main stream in the mid nineties which opened a gateway for people to access pornography anonymously and in the privacy of their own home in the years to come. This proved successful with money in the industry reaching a record high, and pornography reaching the homes of millions of people, the current figure in the UK is that a quarter of Britons view porn across the internet.

Men across the world viewed pornography across the internet and felt more confident about viewing such images and movies as they could see the global demand for this market and people started realising that it is perfectly natural. Men had started to openly chat about porn, some found it funny, some informative, some repulsive and for some it became their life.

With just soft-core porn available, UK residents visited European countries like Holland and Germany where they were years ahead of the UK in the social acceptance of porn. Hardcore porn was banned in the UK until September 2000; the popularity of internet porn had played its part in the decision to legalise hardcore porn.

The breakthrough of playing and transferring media through mobile phones enforced the fact that porn HAS become acceptable in many walks of life as 60% of men own pornography on their mobile phones. This figure without the internet would be considerably lower without the internet as the internet is over 90% of the population’s source of porn.

Amongst some, pornography and prostitution are viewed upon similarly although there is a definitive difference, in the majority of countries pornography is legal whilst prostitution is not and then there is the fact that most pornography is viewed/created in privacy whereas prostitution can be a very public affair, although both are welcomed by people across the world.

There can be no arguments that pornography has become socially acceptable, the internet has had a major impact on this due to being able to access adult content of any nature anonymously in the privacy of your own home. This has paved the way for other areas in the porn industry to grow alongside internet porn and help turn this market into the multi billion pound industry that it is today.

Like it or not porn is now socially acceptable amongst the majority of people under the age of 30.

Use other search engines–not just the Google rank check. There are many places that you can check your rank besides Google. It’s also important to note that if you have visited your site many times (which you have), then your rank might appear higher on your computer while it will not appear that way on other computers.

Next, while it’s important to check regularly, don’t get addicted and check continuously, or even every day. Spend time doing other improvements to your site in order to improve its ranking, not constantly checking what the score is. The most you should be checking is once every two weeks. Try to pick the same day so that you can evaluate your performance a consistent time period. It’s hard to see what’s happening if you check too frequently.

Remember not to get worried or frustrated if your site drops down in the rankings. This is another reason not to check your score continuously. Your site’s rank will fluctuate constantly in relation to what is going on with your industry, competition, etc. That’s completely normal and doesn’t necessarily mean that you made a mistake with something. Keep focusing on your rank-raising activities like link-building and keyword optimization. Concentrate on this and you will see that your site will gain.

Obtaining incoming links can raise your site rank very quickly. There are several ways to go about this: submitting your site to directories, requesting links from other sites, bookmarking, article marketing, and more. This should be an ongoing activity that you perform regularly.

And keyword optimization is also important. All this means is that you need to use the words in your website that people are searching for online. It’s easy to find out this information as well on any of the free tools offered by search engines like Google, yahoo and MSN. Just type in a word that is relevant to your business and whatever tool you are using will give you a list of related keywords that people are typing in when they do a search. The tool will also tell you how often these keywords are typed in.

Using these strategies along with your Google rank check and watch your rank soar.

Social marketing is certainly one of the buzzwords of the year. MySpace, Facebook, and a plethora of blog networks and discussion forums all fall under the umbrella of social networking. Although it is typically described as interacting with virtual community members, social marketing takes on new meaning when it becomes an offline approach.

The convenience and comfort of the online world has added much to business networking. However, is it possible that this virtual connection has also taken away from the benefits real-life face to face interaction offers?

Perhaps a healthy balance of online and offline networking is what it needed to take a business-even an online business-to the next level.

An Internet marketer can find numerous effective and interesting ways to connect with people offline. Keeping a stash of business cards to hand out to people you meet while out and about is one simple way to create interest and discussion about your business.

Every Internet marketer knows to always include signatures and links in e-mails, forum and blog postings in order to bring in business. The same techniques can be applied in the outside world by utilizing business cards or just your voice to bring your business and interests into conversation.

Getting involved in local business networking events is another effective way to enter offline social marketing. Attend chamber of commerce events, lunch and learns, or happy hours for professionals to get plugged into circles of people with whom you can swap business advice and learn more about what is going on in your area.

Nervous about leaving the security of your office chair and computer screen? If you have been able to be successful at online social marketing, you can succeed offline as well. Simply use the same social skills that have worked for you on forums and blogs: show a genuine interest in people, be friendly and thoughtful, and use honesty and integrity as you meet with people.

Internet marketing seminars are a great way to connect with people who have similar interests and goals. By using your people-skills, you can develop rewarding professional relationships that will benefit your business and perhaps even your social calendar. Furthermore, such seminars will provide you with information to build your business. You are basically doubling your money with this offline social networking option.

It’s all about avoiding the “stuck in a box” scenario. A true Internet marketer is always seeking out opportunities to connect with others, and the offline world provides many avenues for connection.

True, it may not be as easy or comfortable as an online forum. After all, in the real world we don’t walk around with our profiles, including hobbies, goals, and favorite movies, listed on our shirts, nor do we have our favorite song playing in the background. But by being honest and real and displaying genuine interest in others, you will find yourself succeeding in the offline world of social networking-no screen name required.

There is no end to the subjects you can write about and you can use any style you wish. However, it has to be something that people will want to read. “How to” articles are very popular with both website owners and readers and can be a great way to get your article marketing campaign underway. Basically, the purpose of a ‘how to’ article is to explain to a reader how to do something.

Of course, you will have to have a good knowledge of how to do the task yourself before you can think about instructing anyone else how to do it, so stick to what you know. There are many possibilities. If you have experience in networking you could write a ‘how to’ article on how to set up a router at home, or if you love cars you could write an article on ‘how to service your car’. There are endless possibilities for ‘how to’ articles, in fact you are reading one right now.

So let’s get started. When you are writing a “how to” article remember that you are the teacher so write in an authoritative tone. You are sharing your expertise with someone who may have little knowledge of the subject at hand. So keep your writing style simple and your instructions clear.

At the beginning of your article tell your reader what their goal is and summarize how it is going to be achieved. This will prepare them for the task ahead. You should also inform them of what, if anything, they will need to have to hand to complete the task. Going back to the setting up a router example, you would need to tell them that they will need their computer, router, instruction booklet and perhaps and ethernet cable to complete the task.

Also, you must start at the beginning and work through the task step by step. Sometimes it may be beneficial to use bullet points to help give the impression that it is a step by step process. Alternatively you can link the steps with words like ‘next’, ‘and then’ or ‘now’. If you are new to writing the bullet points option might be best for you as it keeps things simple, and helps you avoid complex grammatical structures.

As you write, re-read your text every few paragraphs, and try to read it from the reader’s point of view, assuming they know nothing about the task at hand. As an expert on the subject it can be too easy to make things over-complex because the task is second nature to you. Try to imagine you are doing it for the first time and instruct the reader accordingly. Going back to our previous example, will the reader actually know what an ethernet cable is, or what a router is for that matter?

If a particular stage in the task is complex you may want to repeat the instruction, or ask the reader to check their progress so they are sure they have followed your instructions successfully.

With longer articles it is important to do this regularly so the reader does not lose track. Summarize what they have done so far, tell them what should have already been achieved and ask them to check that everything is as it should be. If a reader finds that the project does not look like what you have described, they can then retrace the last few steps and see where they went wrong.

If you work through your article in this manner you should be left with a clear, concise ‘how to’ article that takes the reader through each step of the project to completion. Read it again, at least twice, to make sure that it is well written and that instructions are clear. Wrap up with a concluding paragraph congratulating the reader for a job well done.

And finally, the icing on the cake, the headline. This does not necessarily have to be done at the end. It can be done before you write the article but you may find that headline ideas will come to you as you write your content. Be sure to spend some time perfecting your headline as this can be the difference between the success and failure of your article.

Whether it is a chamber of commerce or a trade association, members have common problems, issues and concerns. By sharing issues and resolutions, members can benefit by the experience of others. Many business owners participate in organizations, not only to network, but also to hopefully circumvent some of the pitfalls encountered by other small businesses–learning from others.

Networking Tips.

Many trade organizations provide forums for networking. In some cases, these might be private online newsgroups, casual meetings, or even professional events with speakers. In order to take full advantage of these networking opportunities consider these tips.

Who You Know.

It is often not who you know, but who they know. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen someone put-off someone who is clearly a beginner only to learn that the “beginner” is the brother or friend of a contact they’ve been trying to meet for weeks.

Honesty.

Be honest. Pretending to be something that you are not, or implying you can deliver a product or service that is outside of your abilities, will foster an environment of distrust and potentially harm your reputation. Keep in mind that networking is viral?vital? and if promises are not kept, word will spread. Establishing yourself and firm as an honest, reputable company.

Professional.

Keep conversations to strictly business subjects. In a business environment, it is important to focus on safe non-emotional topics. The last thing you want to do is alienate or offend a potential client because of an outspoken view on a controversial topic. There is a time and a place for everything and discussing political views or cultural issues is not a generally accepted business topic. Bearing that in mind, it is also important to be aware and sensitive to cultural differences. The Internet has opened doors to a global market and respecting cultural differences is critical to establishing strong business relationships in the global marketplace.

Socialize.

Now is not the time to be a wall flower. Whether you participate in social business events, or monitor trade forums, it is critical that you participate. Participation will help you distinguish yourself in your industry. Attempt to remember individual personal details and foster introductions among others in the industry.

Positive.

Stay positive. It sounds simple, but it will really impact how others view you. If you are constantly negative and pointing out the flaws in others, it will reflect on how others view you. Presenting the best and positive business experiences will enhance your image.

Help.

Provide genuine assistance to others. Whether or not they are able to reciprocate, networking is viral?vital?. Helping others will establish you as a useful member of your business community and will endear you to others. If you are unable to help an individual, attempt to refer them to someone who can.

Research.

A little research goes a long way. Be sure to research people and companies in your business community. Knowing their common goals and interests will build topics for discussions.

Acknowledging the need to connect with others to grow and expand a business may seem like common sense. Cultivating business relationships and interact with other small businesses is often mutually beneficial and should not be underestimated.

Networking is about building relationships and mutual interaction benefiting both parties. Being proactive and following up, you can have a network of contacts that you will be able to access quickly when you need them. Whether by more traditional means, such as in person or over the Internet, personal networks are essential for furthering your business. Relationship networking is give and take, be sure to help others in your quest for help.
