Do you know how to write an article that pulls in readers like a moth to a flame? If not, keep reading. When you start out with article marketing you are told various ways to make an article the best it can be. Although some are good suggestions, many miss the point. When we write articles we want them to persuade the reader into seeing our point of view. When you do this you have a much better chance of them clicking on the link in your resource box. Below are 6 top tips that you must do when writing an article for maximum impact.

1) Like a highly optimized headline in a salesletter, the title of an article has to suck the reader in and do so quickly. It has been studied that when a visitor comes to your site you have only 7 seconds to grab their attention or they’re gone. This is no different with the title of your article. If you have an intriguing and attractive title you will gain many more readers for your article.

2) If you have created a good headline then your reader will now be reading your introduction. Don’t skimp on this part. Your introduction needs to keep the readers’ attention so they can continue reading. One technique that works well for me is to begin your article with a compelling question.

3) Next in your article comes the body or the main points of your article. This really needs no explanation other than try and keep it as interesting as possible. A good way to do this is with statistical information on the subject you’re writing about.

4) Finally you need to have a closing for the article. In the closing you simply reiterate what the main points are. This is a good time to use emotional trigger words to seal the deal and get the reader to want more. If you do this the right way, the reader will be much more inclined to head on over to your website.

5) You need to have a compelling resource box. This is like the “call to action” in a salesletter. Depending on your intentions, whether your article is for SEO purpose or to drive immediate traffic, a well thought out resource box can drive hoards of interested prospects to your site. Remember Q.S.A. when writing resource boxes: Present a Question, provide a Solution, i.e. a product on your site and finally give a blurb about the Author.

6) Make sure that your article sounds and looks professional. Avoid any grammatical errors. Sometimes grammatical errors are done on purpose for SEO reasons but that’s another story.

Writing articles is not hard as long as you have solid guidelines to follow. If you follow the basic yet very effective outline above your sure to have a hit. Many of us are not born writers but with a little time, effort and a little coaching, you’ll be writing articles like a pro. You would be amazed at the amount of people who make tens of thousands of dollars a month simply writing articles and you can do it as well.

Imagine waking up after sending a few e-mails and seeing $499 sitting in your PayPal account…

…then imagine this happening every single week simply sending a few e-mails you didn’t even write.

Join Rich Wilens and Sam Bakker for a special webinar that shows you how you can make $99 every time you send a simple e-mail to a business.

This works anywhere in the world and even if a business says ‘no’ to your offline marketing service they will say ‘yes’ to this strategy and pay you $99 every time!

You will learn this strategy in its entirety so you can prepare and put it to good use as soon as tomorrow!

1. They have a losing attitude: People generally get whatever they expect out of life. Expect the worst, and that’s what you’ll get.

2. They quit growing: People are what they are, and they are where they are because of what has gone into their minds.

3. They have no game plan for life: There are two kinds of failures: Those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.

4. They are unwilling to change: Some people would rather cling to what they hate rather than embrace what might be better because they are afraid of getting something worse.

5. They fail in relationships with others: People who cannot get along with others will never get ahead in life.

6. They are no willing to pay the price for success: The road to success is uphill all the way. Anyone who wants to accomplish much must sacrifice much.

Anyone who is interested in making money on the internet should take the time to learn about affiliate marketing. The opportunities affiliate marketing can bring to people who want to earn money by working at home and to achieve financial freedom.

Many people start off slowly with affiliate marketing and make mistakes. Those who get the right information and follow the right path can eventually fire their boss and launch a successful work-at-home business.

Some people start off full-time because they’re unemployed or because they need to fill a financial gap in their lives. It is not important whether you’re a midnight marketer who stays up late to dabble in making money on the internet or a stay-at-home mother who wants to contribute to getting the family out of debt without having to resort to putting the kids in daycare, affiliate marketing can be your ticket your financial goals.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Simply, you can make money by referring people to products. When a sale is made, you earn a commission. This results in you receiving a sales commission without really selling. Most occasions you don’t even need to do any selling because the product owner will do that themselves once you bring the potential buyer to their landing page. You simply have to get the traffic to that page. You can direct people, you can pre-sell people or you can do other things to facilitate that sale. You don’t need to buy inventory and you don’t need to ship anything.

Many people who are successful at online marketing earn significant sums, some earning millions $’s per annum. A few people make enough money to change their lifestyle substantially.

What Makes Affiliate Marketers Successful?

What differentiates the failures from the successful people? Training. Learning to market successfully on the Internet from the successful marketers who have “been there, done that” can separate you from the many who fail to make at least $500/mth online.

There are a great many products out there and many ways to market. The product you choose, the methods you choose and the audience you target are all factors in your potential success rate. If you’re learning on your own, you’ll need to do a lot of homework and make mistakes while you are learning and it takes time to make your first dollar. There are no guarantees in online business but if you learn enough about affiliate marketing before you make some of the common mistakes many new marketers make, you can hit the ground running and save yourself time and frustration.

Learn From Experts

Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not learn from some experts? How can you do that? A wonderful thing about the Internet is there is so much information available and most of this information is for free. You’ll find newsletters, blogs and articles on the subject of successful affiliate marketing. You’ll also find forums with discussions and product reviews about Internet Marketing courses and memberships for sale as well. Many successful affiliate marketers will be happy to share their knowledge and wisdom if you are able to attend their seminars or subscribe to their newsletters.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a high school about 11 Rules they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair—get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

George Foreman has 3 fundamentals of business success: selling, integrity, and “the shotgun tactic”. Over a lifetime, Foreman has created the kind of well-rounded success that most people dream of. He is a profitable businessman, a community leader, a husband and a father. His life is full, but more importantly to Foreman, his life is meaningful.

With nearly 100 million George Foreman Grills sold since 1995, Foreman has had enormous influence in the wellness industry. He is also one of the highest-paid and most recognized celebrity endorsers in the world.

In 1999, Foreman signed a $137.5 million deal with Salton Inc. (recently merged with Applica Incorporated), entitling the grill manufacturer to global, unrestricted use of Foreman’s name in marketing the Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine and related products. The deal made Michael Jordan’s $40 million deal with Nike look small by comparison.

Before his endorsement of the grills, Foreman made business deals based primarily on a desire for income. “I was so successful,” he says. “All the ads I had done for sausages, you name it, [I was] mainly thinking about money. But then I went into the grill business.” He took the grills all over the country, making personal appearances and boosting sales. “I was meeting people who would say, ‘The doctor told me to get a George!’ I’m like, what are they talking about? Get a George?” He realized his product was making a difference in people’s health, and his perspective changed. “From that point on, you know, I can never go back to what I used to do where I just sell and sell,” he says. “Now everything I do has to be connected to something healthy.”

The Importance of Selling

Of course, Foreman’s business success started with his success as an athlete. Born in 1949 in Marshall, Texas, Foreman, nicknamed “Big George”, was one of seven children in a struggling home. By the time he was 15, he was a street thug and mugger in Houston’s dangerous 5th Ward. His life changed when he left for California to join the Job Corps and was introduced to the discipline of boxing. In 1968, Foreman won the Olympic Gold medal in Mexico City, in only his 25th amateur fight. A world champion was born.

Within a few years of turning professional, Foreman’s record was 37 wins—most by knockout—and no losses. In 1973, he defeated Joe Frazier to become heavyweight champion of the world. Despite his fame, he maintained a cold distance from the public, and his surly demeanor earned him occasional boos in the ring. He defended his title twice before losing it to Muhammad Ali in the “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974.

A few years later, Foreman announced what he thought was his retirement. A religious awakening led him to pursue a life in the church. He didn’t know at the time that the seeds of his business success lay in these days of personal transformation.

“It started because I left boxing in 1977 and worked in evangelism at a church in Marshall,” he says. Foreman had made a fortune in boxing, but now turned his attention fully to his faith. “I spent all my time preaching with lots of money. Lots of money.” But he didn’t preach like a rich man. He spent countless nights out on the streets of Houston, in all weather. Just as in his boxing career, he was relentless.

He also made good on a personal pledge to help at-risk youth, just as he had been helped during his early days as a teenage thug. After he joined the Job Corps, a counselor saw young George’s potential and got him involved in boxing, possibly saving him from a life of crime or jail or worse. Foreman wanted to provide the same kind of opportunities for young people and in 1984 founded The George Foreman Youth & Community Center, which offers scholastic and athletic activities including, of course, boxing.

But 10 years after he left boxing, he says he looked up and was on the verge of bankruptcy. “I had to go back into boxing for our survival, to feed my family.” Fortunately, his years spent preaching on the streets of Houston had taught him valuable lessons that would carry him into a second career as a businessman. “What I found was the 10 years I was out of boxing, I was preaching on the street corner and I’d make people stop. They didn’t know me,” he says, “the old George with an afro and all that. So I realized I could stop these people, who are always headed somewhere, for a second and sell my message. That’s what I learned to do on the street corner.”

He tried applying his newfound skills in the boxing world. “So I went back to boxing trying to sell the old George Foreman heavyweight champion of the world,” he says. “Nobody wanted to buy it, though.” Foreman was 38 when he returned to the ring, a tough sell for any athletic comeback. But the man in front of the camera this time wasn’t cool or removed. He had a gentleness about him that contrasted his toughness in the ring, and that appealed to the public.

“In time, I learned the importance of selling,” he says. Foreman realized he had power outside the ring to influence how people viewed him. In 1994, at the age of 44, Foreman reclaimed the heavyweight title. “That’s when people started to say, ‘This guy can sell himself. Let’s let him sell Doritos or Kentucky Fried or McDonald’s.’ ” And sell, he did. In addition to promoting these companies, Foreman became the spokesman for Meineke Car Care Centers. The boxer and preacher was now an advertiser’s dream come true.

But he says his athletic ability was less a factor in his business success than his selling skills. “If you learn to sell, it’s worth more than a degree,” he says.” It’s worth more than the heavyweight championship of the world. It’s even more important than having a million dollars in the bank. Learn to sell and you’ll never starve.”

Integrity: His Greatest Asset

“The greatest asset, even in this country, is not oil and gas,” Foreman says. “It’s integrity. Everyone is searching for it, asking, ‘Who can I do business with that I can trust?’”

By 1994, Foreman’s life was again on the upswing. When he took the opportunity to endorse what is now the George Foreman Lean, Mean, Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine, he found a new drive to help people improve their lives by improving their health. Now he won’t settle for anything less when it comes to endorsements. “One of the biggest things is to fight,” he says. “Just don’t go absolutely for the buck.”

Foreman learned after his first retirement that to go back into boxing he had to protect the brand of George Foreman. “So now I understand you must preserve the quality of your name, your integrity,” he says. “You don’t want to lie about anything. And it’s something that people will be happy about once they get to know you. Because people count on you. You know, a contract you can easily break. I’ve found in business, everyone signs a contract to make a business deal, and they always leave a loophole so they can break them.

Foreman says people with integrity are in high demand. “There are a lot of guys who are successful, they make a lot of big money, I mean millions overnight with a contract, and they don’t understand the evaporation. It evaporates. You’re always back to square one. I found that out, so integrity is how I do business. That’s my main asset.”

This attitude is one he intends to impart to his kids. He has 10 children—five with his current wife, Mary “Joan” Martelly. George III, nicknamed “Monk”, is Foreman’s business manager. “Your children are looking at exactly what you do,” he says. “You’ve got to believe in something. And you’ve got a line that you can’t cross. I point this out.

“I’ll give you an example. I had the opportunity to go into the restaurant business. A chain of restaurants, the George Foreman restaurants. And it was an opportunity right out to make lots of money.” But Foreman is opposed to selling liquor in his establishments, in accordance with his religious beliefs. “And they said, ‘Well, this is what will make more profi ts. You can just donate them to charity.’ I said, ‘No, I can’t do that.’ And my sons, who were in business with me, watching me put this deal together, they could not understand it. They just couldn’t understand. Not to say that they have to have the same feelings I have about things. But at least have something you believe in and you cannot be talked out of by dollars and cents. And that’s what I try to pass on.”

The Old Shotgun Tactic

Foreman is approached by hundreds of potential business partners every year. He reviews offers daily with George III, and asks for input from his wife and children before he signs a deal. So how does he choose from all the opportunities he sees? “I call it the old shotgun tactic,” he says. “My grandfather used to go out hunting during the days of the Depression. The good shooters, the marksmen, shot with one shell.” But during the Great Depression, you couldn’t put all your bets on one bullet because those bullets were expensive. “If you missed the squirrel, so to speak, you don’t have anything but an excuse on the table,” Foreman says. “But if you buy these cheap shots, which are buckshots, they scatter. You come back in with a squirrel. Although you got a lot of buckshot in it, you got a decent meal on the table.

“So now I use the same thing, although you’ve got to be selective because you have a name to protect.” Foreman believes that one of the many opportunities he investigates will hit it big. “You know you put out a lot of buckshot, you’re going to strike one,” he says. “You’ve got to start out early in the morning and look at hundreds, literally hundreds of things, looking for that quality. And it may take a year, it may take three or four years, but you’re going to hit something so you have something to put on the table for your family.”

Foreman’s company, George Foreman Enterprises, consistently strikes new deals for products and services that meet Foreman’s requirements of being high-quality and beneficial to the consumer. He has lent his name to a line of clothing for big and tall men sold by Casual Male and endorsed a new brand of shoes for diabetics by InStride as well as a health-food restaurant chain called UFood Grill.

“And then we have the green cleaning products, which I’ve been working on for a couple years,” he says. “We finally got it absolutely, totally biodegradable.” He hopes that using biodegradable products, like George Foreman’s Knock-Out Household Cleaning System, will help preserve the land for his grandchildren. His other hope is that the established cleaning-product manufacturers will follow suit. “This is going to be so good it’s going to make the big companies jealous, and they’re going to outdo me. And I still win,” he says. “I still win. Because it makes the planet much better.”

But it doesn’t end there. Through Foreman’s website, visitors can purchase cookbooks, memoirs and autographed boxing gloves. His 10 books, 3 of which were published by Thomas Nelson in the last 2 years, offer inspirational insights into life, comebacks and fatherhood. And then there are the grills. The newest version, the 360 Grill, is selling well and is one of several George Foreman brand small kitchen appliances, including the Lean Mean Fryer for reduced-fat frying and the Grill & Roast for convection cooking.

He’s also become a star of the small screen; his reality series Family Foreman starring him and his family debuted in 2008 on the cable channel TV Land, and an ABC sitcom starring Foreman ran for nine episodes in 1993-94.

Foreman has succeeded in creating more than a brand. He has created a relationship with consumers based on integrity and a gift for making the sale. This relationship allows him to transfer his brand to a wide range of products and succeed in staying diversified. “The bottom line is, you make a decision you’ll be able to sleep with, wake up the next day, look in the mirror and feel good about yourself,” Foreman says.

“You want to leave something, you really do,” he says. “I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, that doesn’t mean anything. Leave something that we’re all going to benefit from. I think that’s what I’d like to do.

Apply Foreman’s philosophies for success in your life:

1. Belief: “You have to have something you believe in. It could be someone you believe in, too. But at least have something you believe in and you cannot be talked out of by dollars and cents.”

2. Integrity: “You must preserve the quality of your name, your integrity. You don’t want to lie about anything. And it’s something that people will be happy about once they get to know you. Because people count on you.”

3. Sales: “Learn to sell and you’ll never starve.”

4. Resilience: “You’re going to fail if you do enough business. But you can always come back because you’ve got some integrity, and people need that.”

5. Persistence: “It may take a year, it may take three or four years, but you’re going to hit something so you have something to put on the table for your family.”

6. Legacy: “You want to leave something, you really do. I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, they don’t mean anything. Leave something that we’re all going to benefit from.”

Last week subscriber JK e-mailed me and said, “It sounds to me that the freelancer’s life is not it’s all cracked up to be.

“Although the money and the prestige sound important, getting clients and keeping them happy, along with knowing your craft and producing results sounds like the key. It involves LOTs of work!

“I may be dead wrong but correct me on this if I am. This e-mail is going to you and you alone…and not to put you on the spot.”

The short answer is: JK is right: Getting clients and keeping them happy, along with knowing your craft and producing results, is the key—and it involves lots of hard work.

JK is not putting me on the spot, because I have never claimed otherwise.

There’s an old saying: “An entrepreneur is someone who will work 60 hours a week for himself in order to avoid working 40 hours a week for someone else.”

Freelancing and any other type of small service business are labor-intensive, because they generate only active income, meaning you only get paid when you are working, whether you charge a flat fee or hourly rate.

Dentists have a saying about this: the more you drill and fill, the more you bill.

Internet marketing and other product businesses have the advantage of generating passive income, meaning you make money even when you’re not working.

For instance, I just returned to my desk from a 10-minute coffee break, and during that time my Internet marketing business received 3 orders totaling $291 in sales, even though I was not working.

By comparison, the income of my freelance copywriting business during that break was zero: I only make money as a copywriter when I am copywriting.

However, the notion that passive income requires zero work is grossly mistaken.

True, you can generate orders even when you’re away or sleeping.

But it takes an enormous amount of work up front—including building an e-list, creating or sourcing products, producing websites, writing e-newsletters and e-mail marketing messages, writing blog posts, writing articles, optimizing your website for search engines—before the passive income can start flowing. And at the beginning, when your numbers are small, so are your sales.

For instance, say you have a subscriber list of 1,000 names. The click-through rate on your e-mail to the list is 2%, so you get 20 clicks per e-mail sent to your landing page.

The landing page conversion rate is 5%, so those 20 clicks generate only a single order. If you are selling a $29 e-book, you made only $29.

On the other hand, when you build your list up to 100,000 names, those same performance metrics would result in $2,900 in orders for a single e-mail blast to the list.

If you then improve the landing page conversion rate to 10%, that single e-mail would bring $5,800 in sales.

To summarize, passive income businesses require a huge investment of labor up front in exchange for a stream of passive income, generated with relatively little additional labor, down the road.

Active income businesses require almost nothing to start up—you can begin with just a PC, phone, and Internet connection—but take continual labor to generate continual income.

Neither, however, is little or no work, as some promoters of “make money as a copywriter” and “make money in Internet marketing” claim. There is a lot to do for each type of business. Plus, you must learn how to do it, and then practice until you can do it well. All of which takes time.

A good rule of thumb for evaluating business opportunities: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I encourage you to be an entrepreneur if—and only if—that’s your strong desire. But go into it with realistic expectations and your eyes wide open.

My subscriber HL e-mailed me his beef with affiliate marketing: “I believe that affiliate marketing has corrupted the sacred trust between supplier and customer. I sometimes get the feeling that the products being offered have not been tried and proven by the re-marketer, yet they allow their lists and good names to be associated with inferior products and services.”

I hate to say this, but I think a lot of what HL says is true.

In their rush to make as many joint ventures as possible, product marketers and their affiliates often skimp on—or skip altogether—the important step of the affiliate actually reviewing the product before she recommends it to her list.

No one will cop to this out loud, but I see it repeatedly.

One colleague asked me to write a positive review of his book. When I asked for a copy, he e-mailed a PDF of only the table of contents and the introduction. When I explained that I needed to see the whole book to recommend it, he seemed a bit irritated, though he did send it.

A lot of product marketers who want me to promote their products to my list routinely expect that I will do so without actually reviewing the product. They aren’t shocked when I ask for a review copy, but they are surprised.

Early in my Internet marketing career, another colleague, a very famous Internet marketer, asked me to recommend one of his programs to my list, and he wanted the endorsement to go out that week.

Since I totally trusted that anything he did would be good, and time was short, I sent out my endorsement without having gone through the program, which was rather lengthy and involved.

When I sent out the e-mail to my list, several of my subscribers scolded me for promoting the system, which they said was a rip-off. Not having seen the system, I had no defense.

When you are approached about doing joint venture promotions to your list, follow these simple steps:

First, make sure that either the marketer has a good reputation or you have reason to believe he is sincere and ethical.

Second, review the product he wants you to promote. You don’t have to read every page or watch the entire DVD set, but at least get a feel for the quality of the content.

I promote affiliate offers to my list when:

>> The author is someone I know personally and believe to be a good teacher and knowledgeable expert on her topic.

>> I already offer my own products on the topic, but I believe the affiliate product offers additional tips and strategies my products do not.

>> The product covers a topic that my subscribers want to know about, but I am not going to produce my own product on that topic—usually because I am unqualified to teach it or someone else can teach it better.

>> The affiliate promotion is for an event, such as a webinar or boot camp, that I think is worthwhile—especially if I am a speaker at the event.

If after reviewing your product, the affiliate says something nice about it, get his permission before using that comment as a testimonial in your own marketing.

Once an information marketer gave a 2-hour seminar I attended, and I was so impressed I wrote him an unsolicited testimonial.

Years later, he began to use—without my knowledge—this testimonial to sell a pricey multi-media information product that was on the same topic as the seminar, only expanded.

Dissatisfied customers of his began e-mailing me. They asked why I was endorsing such a shoddy product and whether I knew that the marketer was not honoring refund requests, which I did not.

Finally I tracked him down and asked for a sample of the product, which he sent without delay.

After examining it, I agreed with his customers that the package was not well produced and not worth the exorbitant price he was charging, and asked him to remove my endorsement.

For many months he did not. Now I assume he has because people have stopped contacting me about this.
