Some of the article spinning versions of article submission software produces nothing short of crap.  I use The Best Spinner for my article spinning by the way. It gives you full control and uses a database that is constantly updated by the thousands of users. Awesome.

Every now and then I try out trial versions and have even tried some of the free ones.  Most (read all) of them are rubbish. But then I received an email from one of my IM gurus that I follow who was recommending a totally free article submissions piece of software. I wasn’t expecting much but thought it was worth a try. There is an optin to download it but I don’t think I get bombarded from the author. I might because I get so much trash it’s ridiculous but I haven’t noticed.

This software is fantastic. It works and it works well. It comes with a list of article sites. Well over  a hundred and closer to two hundred. It can totally automate the login procedure and sign up procedure. The URL’s you submit your articles to can be saved and you can make your own personal list. If you have a compatible article spinner you can put the spun article in the box and it will spin if for you at the click of a button. If you can be bothered to put the brackets in yourself you wouldn’t even need to have an external spinner. I’m too lazy for that and will continue to use the Best Spinner because of it’s user database and the fact  it keeps track of the opening and closing brackets for you.

I used to be able to spin and submit a measly two articles a day (can’t wait until I can outsource). Now I can do about 10-20. I should be able to do more but I’m IM’ing at home with four kids who suck up all my time. I find that I also enjoy it more.  It use to be a real drag as I use to spin the articles manually.

If you’re a lone wolf like me and just starting out but need something that’s affordable because you’re making bugger all money then check it out at Article Submission Helper. The Best Spinner software can be found here. (Affiliate link so I’ll get commissions for lollies and shiny things).

James has come out with a fantastic new piece of software for those of us who struggle to find ideas for articles or have an inkling to create an ebook.  He calls it the Ultimate PLR Article Collection and I would have to say that the title is right on the money as it definitely is the best private label rights articles collection I have come across.

I’ve spent a bit of money on PLR articles. More than what this software is being charged at and I haven’t received a tenth of the articles that this software provides.  There is about 16 categories with 29,768 articles total.

Using this piece of software is extremely easy. You can select your category and then drill down further into the sub categories. Typing in a keyword of your choice will also help you narrow down the selection process.

To create an ebook you simply create a new project and save your selections to it. Then you load the project, select the articles you want to include in the project and  click on the ebook creator button.  You are then given a bunch of options for the ebook such as title and table of contents.  At the end of it you are given an RTF file to save. From there you can edit the RTF as you see fit by adding pictures, changing fonts and all that stuff. All very easy and intuitive. For the best results you should edit the articles themselves so they’re not the same as a bunch of other peoples stuff.

Editing articles in the Ultimate PLR Software Package is also extremely easy. James gives you a link to a video on how to use the software for spinning. The video only mentions changing a few words here and there but I have used the same technique for changing entire sentences and it works a treat. Each time I spin an article the software automatically picks a random sentence that I have included and presto I have a completely original article.  I recommend writing at least an extra two sentences for best effect but the more there are for the software to randomly choose from the more articles you can have.

In short I will probably never have to buy another piece of PLR again thanks to James software. In the future, according to an email from James, there is going to be an option to add your own articles. This is going to be awesome as you will probably be able to store all your articles in one convenient location. At the moment I’ve got them all over the place in an effort to keep them organized. Plus you will also have the ability to add other PLR articles and spin them if you do decide to purchase more.

For the minimal investment required to get this collection you can’t go wrong. If your favorite stay at home job is niche websites and article marketing or even creating ebooks for sale then you should seriously consider this excellent piece of software for your tool collection. Not only do you get the software but it comes with James 8 week guarantee and free upgrades for life.

Article marketing is a strategy that is a part of most if not all successful online marketers. Mostly it’s affiliate marketers who use it as part of their campaigns rather than using PPC. The main reason being that it doesn’t involve any monetary investment if you do it yourself but it can involve quite a bit of time. There is the option of paying for freelance writers to write subjects around keywords that help target customers to the product that they are supporting. Freelance writers can be quite cheap, as little as $3.00USD for a 300 word article so if you’re short on time then this can be a viable option.

The first thing you need to do is identify a product that you would like to promote. Find one that is selling really well so you know that the market is there and then try to find a keyword or phrase around that product that has a lot of searches but not a lot of competition. Keyword research software such as Micro Niche Finder can help tremendously with that area. The next task is to find 20 or 30 more keyword phrases that also have a large number of searches compared to the amount of competition. You then need to write articles around those phrases. Nobody said it was easy but it’s not that hard either. Also remember that once you’ve done all the work it will continue to work for you even while you sleep.

So you’ve got your articles, now what? You need to submit them to article directories of course. This is the easy bit. Don’t do it all at once, just trickle them once a day to gain maximum exposure in the Google rankings. This method works best if you have your own domain and website but involves a little bit more work. Set up a wordpress blog and give it a theme that you think may appeal to your target market. Then you have to re-write all those articles again and put ‘em on your site once a day as before. I recommend having all the articles written beforehand, which you can do in a day or two, and then submit one article to the directories and one to your site. I don’t know if it really matters or helps in the Google ranks though. Why re-write them you ask. Because if you don’t you may get penalized for duplicate material and you will go down in the page rankings.

Other things that can help you are article submission services. These can be gotten for ridiculous prices but there is one that is dirt cheap and costs less than a meal from a popular fast food joint. It has a real original name as well. Article Submitter.

Well that’s it. Seems simple and it is and it will get you traffic. We all know that traffic creates sales and if you don’t have any your toast just make a start and be consistent. With quality content you will get there eventually.
