Yet Another Way To Repurpose Articles – Social Media

 By Susanne Myers
I don’t know about you, but I struggle a bit at times with social media. They can be quite a time sucker, but at the same time, they are a great source of traffic for our affiliate sites… if we can manage to add great content on a regular basis and start a conversation with people in our target market. One thing I’ve started doing recently that’s been working very well is to reuse some of the content I’ve already written as Facebook posts and tweets. Let me explain… Start with an article that includes 5 to 10 tips on a particular topic. Now take each of these tips and use them as individual Facebook posts or tweets. If needed, you can shorten them up a bit. This is especially important for Twitter. Create A Series Of Tips You can also create a series of tips to encourage your friends and followers to consume more of your content. Here’s an example: Quick Tip #1 – Drink more water to lose weight. Quick Tip #2 – Start dinner with a big salad to consume less calories. Quick Tip #3 – Do pushups during TV commercials to get more exercise. Each of these tips could come straight from a 7 Tips for losing weight article. If you have a whole bunch of related tips, create a twitter hash tag for them (i.e. #quickweightlosstips). Make It Interactive By Asking Questions Another great idea is to take some of these tips and turn them into questions. “Drink more water to lose weight” becomes “Does drinking more water help you eat less?” Another option is to take the overall theme of your series of tips and toward the end of it ask your readers for their favorite way to do something. Going back to the weight loss example we could simply post on Facebook or tweet: “What’s your best weight loss tip”. And since we’re all about reusing content, you can take the replies you’re getting to write future articles, blog posts etc. Another option for Facebook is to take a few of the tips and create a poll from them. This gives your friends another way to interact with you and give you feedback on what works best for them. Now that you have all this extra content that you can use on social media sites, you have to get it out there somehow. I find it hard to remember to log in twice a day and post some stuff. I use a website called Hootsuite to help me manage my social media accounts. It allows me to access all my accounts in one easy to use dashboard. But my favorite feature is the fact that I can schedule posts to go out at certain times. This means that I can take one of the articles I’ve written, grab 5 tips from it, rewrite them into short tweets or Facebook posts and add them all at once. The software will then make them life at whatever date and time I specify. And now I would like to invite you to learn more about affiliate marketing and how you can grow your own niche site in as little as 30 minutes a day using the strategies and checklists I’m using each Article Marketing Niche Pack .

Article Repurposing Made Simple

Writing Articles That Can Be Used Over And Over Again
By Susanne Myers
Article marketing has gotten a bad rep over the past months, namely after the Google Panda update. Despite that, it’s still a great way to drive traffic to your site and position yourself as an expert. I don’t know about you, but I set aside some time each week to write and submit several articles. And it all starts with ideas on what to write about. What I’d like to share with you today is my way of coming up with article ideas that I can use in several different formats. I can compile the articles into a short report; reuse the ideas to create blog posts, split them up into autoresponder messages and the likes. Here’s the easiest way to come up with article ideas that lend themselves to being reused later on in several different ways. Start With A General Topic I like to start with a general topic. This article for example is part of a 6 article series on writing articles and reusing the content in 6 different ways. If you start by making a list of articles like that, you can then easily turn them into a short report. Next, I like to break each individual article into several small points. Here are some templates you can use. The 3 Ways Outline For this article, you simply come up with 3 different ways to do something. Write a short introduction on what the article is about, then get right into each way to do things. To create a 400 word article, you want to write about 100 words or two short paragraph describing each way. Add a closing sentence or two that transitions into your author resource box and you’re done. The 5 Tips Article Another great article is a tips article. Again, start with a short introduction and then just write two or three sentences explaining each tip. Use the closing words of your article to transition into your bio. The 7 Ideas Template Once you get to 7 or more points of your article, you’re basically creating a list of how to do things. List each idea and add just a sentence to explain it a little more. With these articles I often close by encouraging my readers to give just two or three of the ideas a try. Please keep in mind that the numbers I used in all three of the templates above are arbitrary. Pick whatever number of points works well for you. Submit the articles to your favorite article directories. Once you have 5 to 10 articles on the same topic, outlined using one or several of the templates I gave you above, you can then use each point as an autoresponder message and then expand upon the content in a blog post. Let me give you an example. Let’s say your article was about 3 ways to lose weight and your three points where: · Drink More Water · Eat Lean meat and veggies · Go for a 30 minute walk. You write about 100 words or so for each point of your article. That’s enough content to use in an autoresponder message. Just include a little intro and a closing (possibly with an affiliate offer or an invitation to read more about losing weight on your blog) and you’re autroresponder message is done. Next, you can take one of the points, for example the walking one and write a 250 to 300 word blog post about it including a few tips for effective walking workouts, how to stay motivated and the links. Last but not least, take the series of articles you’ve written and compile them into a short report. And now I would like to invite you to learn more about affiliate marketing and how you can grow your own niche site in as little as 30 minutes a day using the strategies and checklists I’m using each day.

Seven Simple Tips For Increasing Your Affiliate Income

7 Tips To Grow Your Affiliate Income
By Susanne Myers
Try the Product before you start to promote something as an affiliate, go the extra mile and try the product. You can either ask the owner for a review copy, or just buy it and try it out. Then write an honest review of the product including the good as well as the bad. Your articles, emails and messages will be more convincing if you actually have some personal experience with the product you’re selling. Diversify Don’t focus on promoting just one product. Keep a constant eye on what else is available in your market and try those products out as well. If they are quality items that your readers might be interested in go ahead and promote them as well. People will often buy several similar items if they are interested in a topic or are trying to find a solution for a problem. Get Better at SEO Sharpen your SEO skills to get more traffic to your affiliate site. It’s the least expensive form of traffic to your site. Start with the basics of making sure you pick good keywords, and then use those in the title and content of your post. Don’t forget to work on getting more links to point to your pages as well. Spend some time each month to learn some new skills in this area and apply what you are learning. Follow Up Let’s face it, not every visitor that comes to your website is ready to buy. Set up an autoresponder to capture their name and email address and follow up regularly. Provide them with good, useful content and build a relationship with your list. Continue to offer affiliate products throughout and if you do your job well, they will buy and do so frequently. Find Recurring Products What if I told you there was a way you could make a sale once and then get paid for it month after month. That’s exactly what you can do with affiliate products that offer recurring commissions. Check out things like hosting and membership websites for these types of affiliate paychecks. Check out the Backend No, I’m not trying to be funny here. Marketers that know what they are doing have quite a few backend products in place. With a good affiliate offer, you not only make a commission on the first sale, but everything else the marketer upsells your visitor on down the road as well. Testing Don’t be afraid to test out other offers. Always be on the lookout for other products in your market that pay decent commissions. You never know when you’ll come across one that pays a better commission or converts better than what you are currently marketing to your list. Ready to put all this together and grow your affiliate income? Daily Affiliate Tasks make it easy with weekly checklists that show you EXACTLY what you should be working on each day.

Product Review: Advanced Advertising Technology

Advanced Advertising Technology is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test... My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits. The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Advanced Advertising Technology" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Advanced Advertising Technology Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart! After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Advanced Advertising Technology link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Advanced Advertising Technology link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Advanced Advertising Technology. So if anyone clicks the Advanced Advertising Technology image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site. Now every time the ad window displays (your Advanced Advertising Technology links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed. And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Advanced Advertising Technology (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Advanced Advertising Technology image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Advanced Advertising Technology also. I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Advanced Advertising Technology even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature. There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Advanced Advertising Technology really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool. Overall, I have to say I am impressed with Advanced Advertising Technology. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising. See it and join here: http://adsvancer.com/aff/2759
