What Can I Do with Personal Development PLR Articles?

It’s always good to have an influx of high quality content to use for
your website. However, many people, once they have it, don’t know what
to do with it. It can be a little overwhelming when you have always
struggled with the creative end of things and you suddenly don’t have
that standing in your way.

With excellent self-help private
label rights articles, such as the ones from PLR.me, the content is
already optimized to bring visitors to your website and provide them
with valuable information. You can use them as they are or you can
tweak them to provide a unique perspective. You can also combine them
to create totally new products. The choice is yours.

Ways You Can Use Your Personal Development PLR Articles

When you have a PLR membership with PLR.me, you’ll be able to accomplish a
ton with your PLR self-help articles. Some of the things that you are
encouraged to do include:  Read more... (582 words, 1 image, estimated 2:20 mins reading time)

1. Combine the articles to create a unique eBook.
2. Give the articles away to your customers to boost loyalty.
3. Package them with other products to add value.

Article marketing is one of the best ways to generate traffic to your website.

Here’s how it works.

1. You write an article.

2. You submit it to article directories.

3. Web publishers (website owners & bloggers) grab your article from the article databases and use your article on their sites free of charge.

4. Inside your article, at the end, you include a resource box that contains a link to your website. When the article is published, that portion must tag along and be published, too.

Your link tags along with your article and you get FREE advertising.

Want an example? I’ll give you a few.

This is my first post in 2010. Last year was a very busy time for me with travel and taking online courses along with some major changes in my personal life.  I took some time away from my blog which I would not suggest doing for long when you have a business online. There is a certain momentum that must be maintained when we are doing business online. Things change quickly and there is always new information to be communicated to your list.  I learned a whole lot of new information last year that I plan on sharing with you over the coming weeks and months. I’m sort of a research hound and I love to take classes especially about internet marketing.

Today I’d like to share with you 10 important tips that I learned about internet marketing that will help you get ahead of the game or keep you out in front so that you can be successful online.

1. You need to have a website or preferably several websites. Your main website should have information about you so people know who you are and what other products or services you offer.  Read more... (874 words, 1 image, estimated 3:30 mins reading time)

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 5
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

The word “overhead” is not a favorite among those who run
businesses of any kind.  Nobody likes the expenses of
operating a business.  And nobody really talks about them
much when it comes to promoting all of the “money-making”
products and services online.

But, don’t kid yourself, there’s a lot of overhead.

That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need a big budget to make it work **

Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an
internet business? There are monthly fees for…

* Autoresponders
* Hosting
* Management
* Advertising
* Scripts
* Much more

There are regular fees for…

* Licensing
* Outsourcing
* Support
* Customer Service
* Maintenance
* Development
* Recruting
* Much more  Read more... (358 words, estimated 1:26 mins reading time)

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 4
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

I’m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who
have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their
online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the
amount of work involved in generating those “sales” (not
always net profit, mind you … this isn’t “spendable”
income in a lot of cases.)

That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to manage an entire business **

While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business
with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other
associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.

Imagine…

* Processing refunds
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM
* Managing day-to-day operations
* Overseeing projects you’ve outsourced
* Recruting new affiliates
* Training everyone to help you
* Paying taxes
* Taking care of the paper trail
* Doing all of the “stuff” that business owners do.

Didn’t you want to start an internet business to make
more time for important things in life?  Read more... (312 words, estimated 1:15 mins reading time)

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 3
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Some people have the ability to persuade others and talk
them into just about anything.  Especially when it comes
to influencing their buying decisions.  They know how to
push the right hot buttons, say things the right way and
generally get consumers into an emotional frenzy to the
point they are ready to click an order button.

There are two key words in that paragraph that really need
to stand out in your mind:  “some people”.

Not everyone has this ability.  In fact, only a few do.

That brings me to the third reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to write a world class salesletter**

Have you ever tried to write a salesletter? There’s a
reason why professional copywriters charge up to $10,000
(and sometimes even more) for a SINGLE salesletter. It
takes a lot of experience and skill to write a top-gun
salesletter, which is why most people have a hard time
convincing people to buy if they do create their own
products and website.  Read more... (378 words, estimated 1:31 mins reading time)

Pop quiz time.  What does “HTML” stand for?  Don’t know
that one?  How about this – what does “FTP” stand for? OK,
one more chance.  Do you know how to work with either?

That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate
marketing…

** You don’t need to build a website **

What scares people more than creating a product is building
a website!

* What in the world is HTML?  Or FTP?
* How much does the software cost?  And hosting?
* How do I upload files?
* Why isn’t it formatted correctly?
* Why don’t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?

If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult
(even using templates) to get an attractive website in place.
And hiring a professional to do it fo ryou is out of the
budget for most people.

But, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to build a
website.  You simply send visitors to someone else’s
professionally designed site through your affiliate link.  Read more... (396 words, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)

Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 1
By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

Do you find yourself “starting” to create your own product
to sell online, but never “finishing” it?

One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is –

** You don’t need to create your own products **

Many people find the idea of creating their own products to
be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.

* I don’t have any good ideas!
* I’m not a writer!
* There’s too much competition!
* I don’t know how to set everything up!
* I can’t figure out where to start!
* It’s too hard!

These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give
when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.
I’m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come
up with a list of many more.

With affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own products.
You simply promote someone else’s already proven successful
offer for a commission.  Read more... (333 words, estimated 1:20 mins reading time)

Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

I like this beautiful picture of the Grand Canyon. The canyon is only a couple of hours from my house so we took a drive there last weekend. We spent 2 days  visiting the various overlooks and taking lots of photos. What a magnificent sight.! There were visitors from all over the world of all ages and speaking many different languages.

I was thinking of how fortunate I was to live so close to one of the 7 wonders of the world. But when I stopped to think about it, my decision to live in Arizona came a long time ago, maybe many years ago. I wasn’t born here, I was born and raised in Minnesota and I have lived in 3 other states in the USA. I have also traveled  extensively to many parts of the world.

We make decisions about our lives that hopefully move us forward in a new direction. Then with each passing year we can look back and reflect on how far we have progressed. Sometimes we hear about an actor or actress who become famous after making a hit movie. We often refer to them as an ‘overnight success.’ But in reality, if we take a look at their background and all the years leading up to making the movie, we will see that few people are really overnight successes. They probably worked years at their craft before anyone even knew or cared who they were.  Read more... (760 words, 1 image, estimated 3:02 mins reading time)

Introducing: “Crazy Cash Membership Sites by Kathy Dobson

Have you noticed that all the big marketers out there right now have some type of  membership site? Are you curious about why but are afraid to approach the subject for fear of too much technical jargon?  Well, I have the perfect solution for you.

If you’re afraid of technical jargon, Kathy Dobson’s Crazy Cash Membership Sites eBook was created for you.  Written for the  beginner in mind, the whole process is presented in an organized, easy to read manner, you’ll most likely read through the whole book in one sitting.  And you’ll come away knowing why membership sites are the way to go and how profitable they can be.

I think there is fear associated with starting a membership site because people think  they have to be technically savvy  or be an expert in the perfect niche  in order to succeed.  That is simply not true.  With all the outsourcing readily available on the Internet, anyone can succeed at creating a successful membership site, and get it up and running quickly.  Read more...
