It’s so frustrating to write an article and spend your time and mind on it, and suddenly it’s getting rejected. It’s like being a singer for years and then go to American idol and get the hammer on your head from Simon Cowell. When you’re investing your time in something your mind is concentrating in the success of it, and when you get rejected you’re getting totally blown away.

So, is there a way to avoid all those article rejections from EzineArticles?

Of course there is. Here are a few ways to help your article to pass it’s way to freedom and get published.

1. Don’t do massive article submission – EzineArticle can see when you’ve submitted your article. When you mass submit you are getting suspicious and in most cases they will believe you have submitted PLR articles. With that I don’t say that you can’t use massive article submission but if you do, you have to do it smartly and make a pause between every submission.

2. Double And Triple Check Your Spelling – When submitting and article you have to double check your spelling and grammar. If you can it’s even better to triple check it. You can’t let such stup*id Things to get your article rejected. Some of us work on their article for 10 minutes and others for 5 hours. No matter how much time you’re investing in your articles, every minute of your time is money. When you’ll understand that concept you’ll also understand that you can’t get your article rejected for foolish reasons.

3. Make sure that your article is fully hand written – Don’t even try to use an article spinner or any of those software and services. If you want to gain creditability in your field and even most important to end your article rejection than write every article your create manually. When you’re writing manually you can personalize your article for your readers. You don’t make mistakes, and you know that your article is ready for submission.

4. Don’t order articles from someone you don’t know – This is the most common mistake people do when they first start ordering articles online. They visit a few forums looking for the best prices they can find for their article writing job. When they find the price of their dreams which is 2-3 dollars per article they jump on the train and order 10-20 articles. When they get the package they believe it’s perfect and they start submitting to article directories and EzineArticles is on of them. When their article gets rejected for duplicate content they bang their head on the wall. They still have 8-12 articles they they want to submit to directories but they can’t do nothing with them because the person who “wrote” them just stole them from another website.

When you order articles from someone you must pay only half of the price if there is no escrow service. After you get half of the article you should check at CopyScape if there is duplicate article of one of the articles you have. If you can’t find something similar than you can be happy that you’ve found someone professional to write your articles. Another thing to watch out is the price that you buy the articles. To low prices are strange because people are working on those articles, so don’t expect to get a quality article for so low price, maybe in rare cases you can but most of the time it’s unreal.

I can give you thousands of ways to stop your article rejection and write 100’s of pages on that, but the truth is that if you’ll only stop for a second and think before you make your article submission you can always find the things that might get you rejected. Be sure to check everything a few times before you submit and you’ll see that you’ll stop hating EzineArticles.

Logo Design Guru’s – One of the best places to design your logo is the logo design guru’s. These guys are really professionals and they know how to serve a customer at the same time. When you order a logo design you will have to make sure that you get a high quality logo and a good support team. Logo design Guru’s have them both.

The Warrior Forum – This forum is not only great for your online success, but there are also designers who will create a custom logo for you for a dirt cheap price. While the price is low because the warriors are supporting each other, the designs are high quality and you can count on those warriors. The most important thing on the warrior forum is to read reviews of other people before you order.

There are lots of ways to design a logo for your company, and even if you’re not a computer genius you can still get it to look like you are. I’m going to list a few ways to get your logo done and you can choose any one of them. If you still feel like it’s better for you to hire someone to do it for you, than read the second part of this article which will be posted right after this one.

So here’s how you can create a professionally designed logo by yourself. There are software’s who cost more than others, but you should check the output of the logo to understand what the software can do before you buy it. The price is not always the issue, because if you are going to design the logo by yourself, you still want it to be in a very high quality.

The Logo Creator – This is one of the best software’s to design a professional logo with a click of a button. If you are a computer dumb than this software has been built for you. All you have to do to get a professional logo is to start the program, choose a category from a list of categories, choose your logo, write the name of your website or blog, and you’re all done. The software creates the logo for you in under 20 second and still, the logo will look like it was designed by a professional designer. When I first got started online I started with the Logo Creator, so you can be sure that it’s a high quality software.

AAA Logo – This software is also very powerful. If you want to design a professional logo with ease than this software is neat. The procedure is almost the same. You choose a template, change the font, and there you have a high quality logo design.

Online Logo Design – There are all kinds of websites who offer an online logo design service. Some of them will create a professional logo for you and other will not, but it’s always good to try those services and see if you get something good. When you do use those services be sure to check out the demo logo designs before you start building so you’ll know if the output is going to be something good or just a crappy logo. You don’t want to spend your time for nothing.

Do It Yourself – If none of those is good for you than you can create your logo on your own. You can always download Gimp and play with it for a few hours and I’m sure that you’ll design a good logo. If you don’t know how to use Gimp you are still able to create a log because you can find a lot of online Gimp tutorials. Simply search Google for “Gimp tutorials” and you’ll find tons of them.

As you can see, you are able to do almost anything on your own. The only thing you need is motivation. With all the tools we have online you simply need to be to lazy NOT to manage things on your own.

P.S

To find any of the software’s I listed above simply search Google for the title of the software and you should find it with ease.

Well, the answer lies in your needs, but as a starter you should probably choose the cheapest package you can find, but you have to make sure that your hosting plan will support the kind of files that you want to host.

If you are going to host a script for example, you might need to host php or asp files. In that case you should choose a hosting plan who supports those kind of files. If you are going to host simple html files than you should choose the lighter package.

Where do you find good and reliable hosting companies?

There are all sorts of ways to find a good hosting companies. Here are a few of them.

Read reviews – If you are browsing forums than you can find lots of helpful reviews from people who already host their files with hosting companies. All you have to do is to read reviews they have written. If you still can’t find reviews, you might want to start a new thread and ask the forum members where they host their files and if they are happy with their hosting companies.

Hosting Directories – There are a lot of hosting directories who are offering hosting comparison. This is a great way to find good hosting companies and hosting plans. Always remember that as a marketer your aim is to make money and not to spend it, so choose exactly what you need and don’t pay to much for things you don’t even need.

Browsing For Them – You can always use the old formula of just browsing for hosting companies. I found my hosting company that way and I’m really in love with them. When you’re browsing for companies make sure to take your time and double check what you get and what you don’t get. Sometimes you can register with a company who offer you a whole lot of place to host your files but in the other hand they will give you a very low monthly transfer, which is very important if you believe you are going to have a lot of traffic.

Be sure to check everything and if you have any question ask them. I know that it;s very exciting to buy hosting and to rush forward with those things, but if you want to have a reliable hosting company that will support you when you need them than take your time and read every word in their sales page. I heard about lots of cases where people were just stuck with a hosting company which they chose in a hurry, and believe me you don’t want to be in that situation.

“I worked so hard for a week or so to produce 25 articles, I uploaded them to all the article directories I could possible think about, but I still don’t see any sale”

Does it sounds familiar to you?

Well, you are not alone. Most of the newbies to Internet marketing think that they can just write an article about any topic that comes to their mind and they will make money online in a snap. That’s absolutely not the case in the real life. If you want to make money online from your articles you have to write what people want to know, and not what you want to say.

a good friend of mine started Internet marketing 3 years ago. One day he came to me and cried that he spent over 18 days to create 67 articles about one niche that if my memory is not misleading me was the dating niche. He submitted his articles for 2 days writing a special resource box for every chunk of articles to test what’s the best approach to that niche. You’ll be surprised that from all those articles, from all that hours of working he made only two sales for a period of 6 months.

Why do I tell you this story?

Because I want you to understand that the quality is more important than the quantity. You can produce one thousand article for ONE niche but there will still be a chance that you’ll not get a single sale. Well, maybe one but not more

The thing is, you have to make a proper keyword research for your articles. When you’re producing articles about what you have to teach others that great, but it will not make you money. You need to look for search terms people type on search engines and create your article upon those search terms. We all know that if someone who is looking for quality content to learn something, and you lay it all down for him on the table with a good presell, you have a very high chance to make a sale from that person.

Create Your Content With The Best Quality You Can And The Sales Will Follow You Wherever You Go

That’s for sure. When you create a high quality peace of content, let it be an article, a sales page, or even a press release. When you put yourself into it and give your best, your results will be the same. When someone is reading the content you have created he has two options.

Option one : He will ask himself who is the crazy man who wrote this article and close the page. In some cases he will even remember the website name just to make sure not to come back to it. People hate invaluable content, and from the other hand, they will always get back to a reliable and valuable content.

Option two : The reader will be very impressed from your knowledge. He will feel like he knows you for years if you only know how to create that feeling in your writing. He will also be sure that you are an expert in your field and will probably check to see what else you have to offer and who are you from a deeper angle. When you reach to that stage with someone, that’s a 75% to get a sale out of him. Of course the sale can be made in all kinds of ways like from your resource box if it’s an article, an email campaign if you’re promoting an opt-in page, and all kinds of other ways you have in mind.

As you can see, creating unique content is crucial for your online success, and if you want to make money online, be sure to produce good content and your readers will reward you for it.

One of the best ways to create a bunch of articles is to decide when you are going to create them, and how much time you are going to invest in them.

You Need To Create a Plan

Motivation is a really crazy thing which comes and go whenever you are feeling good or bad about yourself and about your environment. That’s why you have to create a plan and decide when you are going to sit on those articles, how much articles you are going to produce, and about what they are going to be.

The best way to create your plan is to take a pen and a paper and write your plan. Be sure that you are not deciding on a time where you are busy in other things. You should invest time in your articles if you want them to be high quality, so be sure that you have all the time to invest in them.

Don’t Decide To Create More Than You Can

The most common reason to article writing failure is that people decide to create 100 articles which of course is only a dream. That dream is getting you frustrated even before you got started. Setting up a small goal as a start is a good idea. Try to create 5-10 articles in a weekend as a start. After you have created those articles try to create a higher goal of 10-20 for the next weekend. You have to understand that when you have a goal in mind, you’ll create your articles a lot faster than you usually do because you will concentrate in your goal and you’ll not be distracted by other things.

Work In a Quiet Environment

This is the craziest thing ever. I see lots of guys writing their article when their children are near them screaming and playing. You don’t seem to understand how important it is to work in a quiet room. You’ll probably be producing x10 content than you are usually do in a place where you don’t have your time and mind to concentrate. I remember the day where I decided that I will never work again near my children. My luck was that my wife was with me in the idea because she always knew that I have to much on my mind, and that’s what was keeping me from making money online.

Don’t Let Anything Distract You While You’re Working

You can’t let anything to distract you from what you’re doing at any given time. If you want to create high quality articles which eventually will produce money for you 24/7 than you have to create them to be in a very high quality. When something distract you it’s very hard to get back to the place you were before it happened. Research show that it takes for about 12 minutes for your mind to get settled again. When you’re working on your articles be sure to turn off you phone, close your email software, and be sure to tell everyone in the house that you are working now, and you will answer only if what they have to say is really important.

Having your own space when you’re working on your articles, or even any other Internet job, is essential for your success. You just can’t make money online when you are always distracted from other things. When I felt that I need my quiet room to work on my projects, I simply talked to my wife and asked her if she wants me to make money by the end of the year or maybe 5 years from now. You probably can guess what was the answer, and from that day, my wife is going out with our children for at least 3-5 hours a day. I have to admit that if she was not a woman who understands my needs, I would hire a 1 room apartment for me to work on my projects. I have to work on my things in a relaxed environment, and a quiet room. If you don’t have the ability to have those, than you should start thinking how you CAN get them. You’ll never make money online if you’ll not have those 2 simple things.

Because we are all in a bad financial time, and we all have families who need us to work and make money, it is very frustrating for us to wait for out website to get established and to gain traffic and money.

How To Buy An Established Website With Existing Traffic And Backlinks

There are all kinds of places where people list their website for sale. Some of those places are forums, blogs, and website brokers.

Here is a small list where you can find an established website for sale for a low price:

1. Websites For Sale At ebay

eBay is a very good place to buy your website. There are lots of website sellers on eBay with very tempting offers. Be ware from people who can’t prove that they own the website and from people with low points and profile. Be sure to check the seller profile a few times before you try to buy a website from him.

2. The Sitepoint Marketplace which is now moved to Flippa. Personally I believe that this is the best place to find an established website to buy. People who want to sell their website have to go thru 3 stages to prove ownership of the website. Not only that, on sitepoint’s marketplace you have the option to make an escrow payment which is perfect for you.

3. DigitalPoint Forums at Websites For Sale. This is a risky place to buy an established website but you can find some bargains here. Lots of bored webmasters are selling their website on the Sitepoint Forums. I have to worn you before you rush to find a bargain. Check 10 times before you buy who is the seller, the higher his itrader the better for you. Every time someone buy’s or sell’s something on the Digitalpoint Forums, he has the option to give an itrader to the buyer and the buyer can do the same. That’s how they gain their itraders. That can explain you why you have to make sure that the seller has high itrader, or at least high post count of over 500 if he don’t have itrader.

That’s all, if you want to buy a website with existing traffic or a high pagerank than simply browse those websites. Never hurry to buy a website, you have to make a deep research before you put your money down. You can loose your money if you don’t take the neccecary steps to make sure from who you are buying and why.

In case you don’t know English or you just don’t know how to write,
you can always find PLR (private label rights = products that you get the rights to sell them as you like) product to use, but you’ll have to use only the basis of those products. You can’t use some garbage as your calling card because people will immediately unsubscribe from your list if they see you gave them junk to get their email address.

Using a PLR product is very risky but can be done smartly. If you are going to use a PLR product than consider to hire someone to change it for you, or do it yourself. When you edit a PLR product you must change all the titles to another font, and change the writing to a more personal writing. I really recommend you to post a job at elance.com about your PLR product if you don’t know how to do it. I want you to succeed so don’t be foolish. Sometimes it’s better to pay someone a few bucks and get some quality product so you could offer your subscribers.

Hey, I expanded this more than I thought.

So how exactly you can create a short report for your subscribers
from scratch?

Here is the formula that I came up with.

Open Microsoft Word and create a new page. This is the time to decide
what is going to be the topic of your report. a good titles for free
reports can be something like this:

“How to drive thousands of visitors to your website in 24 hours”

“How to train your dog to jump 2M high in 1 hour”

“How to make your sheep turn into a wolf in 3 minutes”

I’m just kidding with the last one, so don’t try to go out with such
a report. OK now, so you understand what is a good title for your
report. You must give an attracting title so that people will be
thirsty to get your information. Don’t you ever try to decide on a
title that you don’t know how to fulfill, it will make your report
creation 3 days instead of 2 hours. You need to think about a title
that is attractive for people, but at the same time is reasonable
for them and for you.

If you can’t come up with ideas for your report, browse the web to
find what people want to know about, than start learning about it
for a few hours, and when you’re feeling that you know enough, simply
package all the information into one place, and it’s…your report!

So after you’ve decided on your title, simply create it big enough
for the title of your report. Now is the time to create your chapters
names. Go down a few lines and start creating chapters as bullet
points. When you browse the web to learn about your topic, take notes
and they should be your chapter names. From now everything should
flow for you. Go to a chapter and simply start writing about it. If
you’re having troubles you can always visit the website that gave
you the inspiration and learn more about the specific chapter.

When you’re finished, don’t forget to include your website’s name,
or an affiliate offer of your choice, but never, and I mean never
use affiliate links inside your free report. It will make you a bad
name and will piss off your reader. You must understand that your
reader is a human, and always try to think what you would like or
dislike in a report you got for free.

If you have any questions you can comment down here.

I have a simple answer for you. It’s because you are looking for the magic formula that will turn you into a rich man over night. Yea I know that, I’ve been there, done that. From my first day online I was spending hours upon hours looking for that magic formula, but there is a small problem here.

It Does not exist! Yea you heard me, It Does not exist!

Looking for that formula is not going to make you any money. You already know everything, and you know how to make money online, but you don’t implement what you know, and that’s the problem.

Let me ask you something. How many times you’ve been told to setup a landing page with a free gift for people to subscribe to your list?

How many times you’ve heard that you should have an autoresponder account with aweber?

How many times you’ve heard that the money is in the list?

How many times you’ve heard that you should focus on one thing at a time and concentrate to get traffic to just one landing page you have?

The list goes on and on, but have you done any of those steps? If you did, and did it right, than you should already have money in your pockets. If you still don’t have the money than you should check what you did wrong.

If you didn’t did any of those steps than now at least you know why you don’t have any money. If you want to succeed online you must follow a few steps and test and track your work to achieve better conversions. You’ll never be able to build your business online if you don’t put all your effort on your online business.

Making money online can be done easily, but you have to dedicate yourself into your business in the first year or two. You have to work as much as you can to get better rankings for your site on search engines, to improve your landing page, to write a better ebook for your subscribers, and anything else that can help your business grow. You can sit back and ask yourself why you’re not making any money online. You need to work on it.

When I first started online I was overloaded with information and that’s the problem that most of the new marketers are having. You have to understand that there are thousands of ways to make money online, and every day new ways to make money are popping out, so you’ll never finish reading, never!

Start implementing what you know today. make a commitment to start by opening an account with Aweber. Believe me that when you know that you are spending money, you’ll not have any other choice than to start working on your business. In fact, my turning point was when I opened an account with Aweber. When I saw that I’m paying every month $19 there was no other way than start working on a landing page, and after that i started working on my follow up’s, and everything started rolling after that.

Again, Start working. If you still don’t believe that you have enough information to start than you can find all the information on sites like mine, where everything is for free. Stop spending money for ebooks and video guides. There is no end to them. Choose one way to go with and star…

WORKING!

A good shortcut to succeed online is the zero friction marketing.

As always Blogging for your success,

When you start your own blog, you have the option to add a feed subscription so that people can register and get your blog feeds by email. lots of people do subscribe to those feeds because they don’t want to take the risk and miss one of your posts, or lessons if you will. The nice thing about the feeds subscriptions is that it’s a free service given by Google. Instead of wasting your money on an autoresponder account from Aweber, you can simply capture people’s emails by Feedburner.

OK, so after you have your blog setup and everything is working, you love the new theme you just installed, and you started to get traffic here and there, how you capture as much names as you can to build your list?

1. Visible Subscription Box – Make sure your subscription box stands in a place where any visitor can see it. You subscription box MUST have a shiny color, or at least a color that will grab the visitors eyes as much as you can. Another good tip is to make you optin box big enough for people to see. Not only young people are browsing the web, so be sure to take care of the people who need big things to see better. Don’t do it to big to scare people, just be reasonable.

2. Call To Action – Your RSS optin box should call to action. Make sure to explain how they could optin and where they need to add their details. Not everyone knows how to fill in their details and sometimes they really want to get your emails, but they simply don’t know how to do it. Not all the people are techi.

3. Describe The Benefits – Whenever you offer something to someone, no matter if it’s free or paid, you need to explain what’s in it for him. Don’t just say here’s my optin box and you should subscribe to it because I want to get a few bucks out of you, you have to show him the benefits that he will get from bieng in your list. Tell him that he will get a lot of useful tips, free gifts, and professional advice from you. Just by explaining what’s in it for them you’ll be able to see a high conversion rate for your subscriptions.

As you can see, there are minor things who can make a big change. You always need to test and track your conversions and see if you can make them even better. Having a subscription box is not enough to get people’s attention. If you want to have as much subscribers as you can you need to let them know how they can benefit from what you are offering to them. An email address is a precios thing today, people are not giving it just like that because they are afraid of spam. If they don’t know you enough they will hesitate to give you their personal information, and that’s why you have to work on their attention and feelings when you want something from them.

“There is no stupid question, there are stupid people who are afraid to ask simple questions”, if you have anything to ask just do so.

As always, blogging for your success,
