One of the best ways in promoting a website is through Article marketing. Article marketing is quite simple, very effective, and usually free (or very low cost).
However, for article marketing to work, your articles must be accepted by article directories, and these have to be published by webmasters and eZine publishers.
Basically, there are 5 simple ways to avoid getting your articles rejected. Simply take note of these 5 things to avoid, and for sure your article marketing will be successful.
Things to avoid when it comes to article marketing:
Number 1: Poor Writing
Being a great writer is not a requirement in getting your articles accepted in most article directories. But you do have to be at least moderately okay. Not everyone is talented in writing. As much as possible don’t be afraid to ask someone to review your articles, this is one way of assurance.
Number 2: Bad Grammar
Not everyone is that good when it comes to writing, grammar and submitting articles in a language (usually English) other than their own.
Article directories and publishers expect articles to be ready to publish, with little or no editing required. Minor issues may be overlooked, but when thousands of article submissions are coming in per day, it common that some articles are easily rejected when seen with wrong grammar.
But this doesn’t mean you don’t qualify for this, you can find someone who can help edit your articles and most editing only takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Number 3: Badly Edited (Or Badly Spun) Articles
Most articles that are well-written sometimes contain a number of minor typos – misspelled words, missing words, etc. These are the sorts of errors that could have been caught by any word processor or even just reading the article before hitting send.
“Article spinning” software has been the cause of this problem. Basically, article spinning is the buying of rights to articles written by others. Which are then processed through special software that randomly replaces words and phrases. Their idea is to improve their article marketing by submitting unique articles.
Unless one overdoes this (refer to #4), there is really just one problem. Article spinning software often produces improper words or clumsiness. Sometimes you can’t determine whether an article was written by a non-English speaker or by article spinning software.
However, the solution is simple. Simply edit your articles manually before sending them, or have someone to edit them for you. Check both spelling and grammar. Then check how it flows.
Number 4: Duplicate (Or Almost-Duplicated) Articles
This one is related with #3, as it seems to be largely a result of private label rights content and “article spinning” software. There are some authors who continuously submit multiple copies of the same article with little difference with each article.
Avoid this cause it can cause an author to be banned, and you don’t want that to happen to you.
Number 5: Plagiarized Articles
This is probably the most annoying thing that would get your article rejected, copying and pasting works of others and claiming them to be yours will only get you banned in an instant.
There is nothing wrong with using Wikipedia or other sites as one of your sources – there are several good sources out there, but use a few more sources too, not just a single site, then add your own original thoughts and put it into your own words, not simply copying them.
Simply avoid these 5 and you’ll be on your way to success. If you can write and submit many articles and manage to avoid these 5 things, most of your articles will be accepted and will be extremely successful in such a short time.

Basic Things on Online Affiliated Marketing
Online Affiliate Marketing functions as revenue for sharing ventures between a website owner and a certain online merchant. The website owner places advertisements on his websites to either aid in selling the merchant’s products or simply send potential customers to the merchant’s website in exchange for a share of the profits grained through it.
Affiliate Marketing Program
Affiliate marketing programs are sometimes called an affiliate program; but can be sometimes referred to as a pay-for-performance program or associate program. Basically, an affiliate program is a marketing tool for the e-business that makes it function, which is called merchant or advertiser that functions as a source of revenue for the e-business that participates in it, which is called an affiliate, associate or publisher.
There are practically three ways in earning money through affiliate marketing:
1) Pay per Click or Cost-per-click affiliate programs:
Each time a potential customer leaves the affiliate website through a click on the link that leads to the merchant’s website, a certain amount of money is then deposited into the affiliate’s account. This amount is dependent on the amount of the commission.
2) Pay per Lead or Cost-per-lead affiliate programs:
The merchant gives the affiliate a fixed set amount depending on the visitors clicking on the link; this applies to this such as completing an online survey, registering at the site and other alternatives to it.
3) Pay per Sale or Cost-per-sale affiliate programs:
Every time a sale is made from advertising on the affiliate’s website, a certain percentage is given to the affiliate’s account.
The Amazon Story is practically the world’s largest bookstore that has one of the most successful examples of an affiliate program (which is called their associate program). Amazon currently has over 1 million affiliates, which basically means that over 1 million sites are actively promoting their products each single day. If you do the computations Amazon generates over 40% of its revenue through its affiliates program, this is over 3 billion dollars in revenue each year.
Affiliate Programs used as a Marketing Tool
The two major advantages to merchant:
1. being able to tie marketing effort directly to a lead or sales.
2. The merchant pays only for the acquired results.
The Advantages to affiliate:
1. Additional sources of revenue for affiliate who also sells products/services are gained
2. A primary source of revenue for affiliate/s who offers services or information
Here are two approaches for operating A Successful Affiliate Marketing:
1. Try to acquire a huge and affiliate membership. The Amazon associates programs have over 1 million members which are very much diverse:
- RVPart – Sells parts related to recreational vehicles and motor homes.
- Dilbert – Functions as a site for viewing cartoons, playing games, sending electronic greeting cards and so much more.
- Books for Managers – Is a site for business related reviews and lists of the current top-selling business-related books by Business week, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, and other publications.
2. Try to acquire a smaller number of highly effective affiliates that possess a high volume of website traffic and offers web page content, products as well as services that are directly related to the merchant’s genre of products and services.

Knowing the Difference between Article Marketing and Traditional Article Writing
People usually get confused by this. They wonder why writers write articles with money not being the prime objective, of course, in the traditional sense; one is paid by the articles made.
Article Marketing is not just simply “article writing” but rather, a new concept that’s used by web experts in making their business known over the web.
Basically, it’s all about link exchanging and distribution, the more websites who include a link to your own website, the more exposure you gain; this increases one’s chances on more sales.
Only drawback to Link Distribution is that there’s nothing about your link that’s unique. Because of this, links are now allowed to contain keywords or short words that make them more effective.
That’s what article marketing is, simple and does not require one to be a genius at writing. But rather, it’s about marketers and savvy web entrepreneurs who aim to increase their popularity on the web using an article to draw followers who’ll be interested in their products.
Article marketing also lets you place your creativity into it, and getting people to link your works and site requires much tactics.
Article marketing explained in 4 simple points:
1.) An article syndication site is needed to start Article Marketing.
2.) Written articles made by marketers and writers are collected by the site.
3.) A personal bio and link to their website is then required from the authors.
4.) These articles are then selected by other websites who want to elaborate something in the scope of their niche.
Nowadays, article writing is not all about generating money from the articles but rather targeted at ‘exposure’ over the web.
Exposure comes from your articles that do great at search engine results. This basically means that when you write on a certain topic and most people are interested in them, and then you’ve got yourself a good skill at that. By increasing your numbers of written article pertaining on that niche, your chances of getting linked and exposure continues to rise to the point you’ve reached the top search engine results, that’s the best reward one can get in writing articles.
So what kind of people should utilize Article Marketing as a way to become well-known and successful on the internet?
- Anybody who aims to make a product.
- Anybody that has a website.
- Anybody who aims to build a brand.
- Anybody that aims to make a web-based business that would eventually generate income in the long term.
The Characteristics of Web Articles:
- Short and Concise
- organized and easily understood
- Helpful and informative
- Has a Light promotional tone
- Should always point to your URL
You’re always free to hire someone who can write for you. If you really want to be a big brand name, it’d be better to find someone who‘s willing to “concept out” your articles.
A real copywriter to streamline aggressive marketing campaign is recommended to pitch a product that you will surely sell – the link at the end of your article.
Article Marketing is all about Link Distribution and information-luring readers. It’s not about getting prizes. It’s good old web marketing with creative writing twists.
Now that you have an idea on what article marketing is all about, I bet you’re ready to start on your own. So what’re you waiting for, time to make that first step in your career at article marketing.

Tips Menjadi Affiliate dari Banyak Merchant
Tips Menjadi Affiliate dari Banyak Merchant
Materi hari ini Menjadi Affiliate dari Banyak Merchant diambil dari E-course hari ke-14 dari BelajarBisnisInternet.com (materi hari 8-11 tentang Word Press dan materi 12-13 tentang toko online wordpress tidak saya tulis ulang). Dalam affiliate marketing program, kita belajar menghasilkan uang dengan menjual produk atau jasa orang lain.
Secara sederhana, menghasilkan uang melalui menjadi program affiliate marketing dibagi menjadi 3 langkah:
1. Mendaftar menjadi affiliate merchant yang kita pilih
2. Melakukan promosi produk merchant di website, iklan, atau email dengan affiliate link yang telah kita dapatkan di langkah 1
3. Membuat banyak orang melihat promosi yang telah kita lakukan di langkah 2. Di langkah 3 ini kita harus berusaha mendatangkan traffik / visitor.
Jadi bila kita ingin memperoleh komisi dari program affiliate marketing, kita harus mendaftar , memenuhi persyaratan dan diterima mengikuti program affiliate marketing tersebut (ada kemungkinan pendaftaran kita ditolak). Karena itu sebaiknya kita pelajari dulu agar kita tidak salah memilih program affiliate dan peluang kita diterima semakin besar.
Dilihat dari cara pengurusan program affiliate management, ada 2 jenis affiliate program:
1. In-house affiliate program
- Perusahaan mengurus sendiri management affiliasi programnya
- Kita melakukan pendaftaran langsung ke merchant. Di website merchant ada petunjuk dan form untuk sign-up menjadi affiliate.
- Contoh In-house affiliate program: Amazon.com, eBay.com, Implix (perusahaan yang terkenal dengan produk autoresponder melalui email GetResponse)
2. Affiliate Network
- Perusahaan tidak melakukan sendiri management affiliasi programnya melainkan melakukan outsourching ke perusahaan lain yang mengurusi seluruh aspek administrasi, teknis, tracking dan pembayaran komisi affiliate.
- Kita bergabung dahulu ke affiliate network setelah itu daftar / apply menjadi affiliate merchant melalui menu di affiliate network bukan melalui website merchant.
- Contoh affiliate network: Commission Junction, linkshare, shareasale, ClixGalore, TradeDoubler, double click performics
- Contoh affiliate network populer yang fokus ke produk digital seperti ebook, software, course adalah Clickbank, click2sell, paydotcom, nregnow
- Affiliate network yang mengkhususkan pada Pay Per Lead (PPL) adalah Hydra, Copeac, Azoogle, ClickBooth
Dalam melakukan affiliate marketing, ada 2 pendekatan dalam menentukan merchant mana yang mau dipromosikan:
1. Kita sudah tahu produk / jasa mana yang mau dipromosikan, tinggal mencari merchant yang bagus, kemudian mendaftar menjadi affiliate-nya.
- Misalnya menjelang Hallowen (31 Oktober) di negara Barat banyak orang yang merayakan dan mencari kostum Hallowen. Bila kita ingin memanfaatkan momen tersebut, 1 bulan sebelumnya daftarkan diri menjadi affiliate costume Haloowen. Untuk mengetahui merchant yang memiliki program affiliate untuk kostum Hallowen ini, dapat dilakukan dengan search di Google. com, Ketikkan hollowen costume + affiliate + program, klik search maka akan tampak hasilnya.
- Misalkan kita ingin menjadi affiliate dari aksesoris ipod maka search di Google.com ketikkan ipod accessories + affiliate + program, klik search.
- Ada merchant yang hanya mau menerima affiliate yang memiliki website yang relevan dengan produk / jasa yang mereka jual, tetapi ada pula merchant yang menerima semua affilate yang mendaftar.
2. Kita belum tahu produk / jasa yang mau dipromosikan sehingga bergabung ke Affiliate Network untuk mencari merchant atau produk yang bagus untuk dipromosikan.
- Hampir semua affiliate network mensyaratkan kita memasukkan alamat website saat melakukan pendaftaran. Hal ini sering menjadi salah satu kriteria diterima / tidaknya pendaftaran kita.
- Dalam pendaftaran ke Shareasale misalnya kita diminta untuk mengisi nama website utama kita yang harus memenuhi kriteria:
a. Menggunakan top level domain seperti .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, dan sejenisnya.
b. Website menggunakan bahasa Inggris
c. Website yang sudah selesai pembuatannya, bukan website yang masih underconstruction
d. Tidak menggunakan web hosting gratisan
e. Jika Anda menggunakan proteksi WHOIS di nama domain Anda, lepaskan proteksi tersebut sementara agar pihak affiliate network atau merchant bisa mengecheck bahwa nama domain tersebut memang milik Anda.
Sebelum menentukan program affiliate mana yang hendak kita ikuti, sebaiknya kita mempelajari dulu persyaratannya dan berusaha memenuhinya. Selain website berbayar, ada beberapa affiliate merchant yang mensyaratkan kita memiliki PayPal. Sebaiknya kita mulai membuatnya sekarang karena proses verifikasinya membutuhkan waktu. PayPal sekarang sudah support bahasa Indonesia sehingga lebih mudah bagi kita untuk mendaftar. Untuk mendaftar PayPal dibutuhkan credit card, bagi yang belum memilikinya bisa mulai membuat atau bagi yang merasa sulit memenuhi persyaratan pembuatan credit card, bisa menggunakan Virtual Credit Card (VCC).
