Glad you enjoyed reading it.

Fully agree that it’s not always easy (or profitable) to follow your passion. However, I’ll always advise newbies to start by researching niche markets that they are passionate about or at least interested in. It’s just so much easier if you love and enjoy what you are doing…

As a matter of interest, ancient history may not be a bad niche… Based on Wordtracker the term “ancient history” gets searched for 428 times a day. You may want to have a closer look at it… I am pretty sure you’ll find some good resources in the public domain as well. Just my 2c.

All the best,

Still there is a bit of a struggle between promoting a product in a competitive market and following your passion.

My passion is ancient history but alas there is not much of a market while I am sure of getting a few sales from weight loss though I dont care much for diets and calories and wouldn’t know a good cholesterol from a bad one

But anyways you should make this post into a pdf and name it the newbie manifesto.

Thanks

Very good question!

Okay, so your focus is traffic… Right?

I don’t believe in using article submission services such as the one you mentioned, isnare, etc. I can and should probably write a blog post about this topic but let’s just say for now that I have done tests and that I get more traffic by submitting one article to a site like EzineArticles.com than by using isnare to distribute my article to “thousands of article sites”.

Many marketers focus on quantity… They write one article and submit it to as many article directories as they can. I am not one of them…

The bulk of your traffic will come from search engines and not from article directories. I’ll rather focus on writing an article that’s optimized for the right keywords and gives people a good reason to visit my site. Next, I’ll work on promoting this article (to give it a boost in the search engines) by linking to it from one of my websites, squidoo lens, etc. I’ll also bookmark it using various social bookmarking sites and syndicate it using RSS, etc.

This does not happen in one day and by promoting several articles at the same time using a specific site every week it will only take you a couple of seconds per article.

Trust this answers your question?

Kindest,

What do you think about submitting article to multiple article
directories.For me, I think it is my article,thus it is up to us where to
submit the article.Rite?You want traffic rite?So you need more
exposure to your article..

I’d see Willie Crawford also submit his article to submityourarticle.com..
You can see his testimonial there.

Just want some of your opinion about submitting same article
to multiple article sites.I heard too many opinions on this issue.

Many thanks for your positive comments… I really appreciate it!

I am planning on posting more often in the future and I think it’s a good idea to write a couple of blog posts about link building and product creation.

Kind Regards,
Francois

The free report method is also a good method to build backlinks to your site/blog.

Wish you could post more often perhaps on link building/product creation

Thanks

I sincerely believe your “All-Thumbs Guide To Installing $7 Secrets” is a no brainer for anyone that’s interested in using this great little script!

All the best,

Have a great weekend!
