Increase Your Productivity with Private Label Rights Articles

Do you have a hard time creating content for your blog or website?

Do you have a hard time creating content for your blog or website?

In a previous post, I discussed how to write high quality blog content using the different types of essays styles. In this post I would like to discuss another way to develop quality web content.

In the world of Internet marketing, creating a quality web content one of the keys to attracting repeat traffic to your site. The more traffic you can have coming back to your site, the more likely these people will come to trust you and buy the products that you are recommending. Another reason for developing original website content is to improve your rankings in with search engines.

There are all kinds of information on the Internet concerning duplicate content versus original content when it comes to search engine rankings. Even though the algorithms the search engines use does change all of the time and there are conflicting opinions about using duplicate content, it seems that a site or blog full of original content has more value than a site full of reused private label rights (PLR) products.

Now, what are PLR’s? PLR products are eBooks, articles or essays that you purchase and can claim as yours. No matter what kind of product you have you can slap you name on the product and claim the content as your own. When using PLR articles or essays for your website I suggest you rewrite the content with your own voice. Even though some people and experts claim that using duplicate content will not hurt your search engine rankings, I say why take that chance with your website. By rewriting PLR articles you will increase your productivity by decreasing the amount of time you spend creating quality content for your website.

By decreasing the amount of time you spend on creating quality content for website, you can spend more time promoting your website. Owning, operating and monetizing a website is not all about the on page factors. You should concern yourself with the off page factors part 1 and off page factors part 2. With more time to concern
yourself with building relationships with other marketers and bloggers you can establish yourself as an expert in your niche.

Target Customer Defining with Online Marketing Tools

youtube1Internet marketing is a growing way for individuals to make money working from home. There are many people making a good living by developing multiple sources of income online. Whether you are marketing the Internet or you are marketing via other media sources, you need to keep be able to identify your target customer. The better you understand your customer, the easier it will be for you market them.
Questions you should ask yourself when defining your target market or target customer:

  1. Are they men or women?
  2. What is the current income level?  How old are they?
  3. Where are they located?
  4. What do they want?
  5. What are their key problems?
  6. What are their key problems?
  7. What can I exclude about my target customer?

By answering the above questions with as much detail that you can, you can start to define you target customer and/or target market. As I started selling on eBay, I had no clue about the need to define potential customers were or the importance of being able to define them. As I moved from eBay to the Internet in my efforts to increase my online earning potential, I discovered that just because someone finds your website does not guarantee they will interested in buying from you or your sponsored links. You need to target your traffic and targeting you traffic means you need to have clearly defined target customer.
I use You Tube to help get my name out there and to drive targeted traffic to my web site and blog. My user name on You Tube is daveatchbgdotcom. Since all of the videos I create for You Tube are centered around my target market (Internet marketing), if some watched my video and then visits my blog, I have created targeted traffic.
A great free online marketing tool can is found right on You Tube and is a free service provided for each video you upload. It is call ‘Insight’ and can be found for each video. With You Tube Insight you can research:

  • How many views each video has gotten and the location by country
  • How people found your video
  • For each ‘search’ it will list out the keywords used to find your videos
  • It shows all sites that are embedding your videoIt shows related videos and their titles
  • The age and gender of the viewers

By using youtube’s insight, you can determine what keywords to use on your website, blog, or other youtube videos. Also, you should use this information to refine your definition of your target customer.

The Power of Web 2.0

January 8, 2009 by David John · 1 Comment
Filed under: Social Networking 

The power of web 2.0 sites aka social networking sites to help drive traffic to websites is amazing!! My good friend and mentor JL Scott is preparing to launch his first information product about how he became a Tituium PowerSeller on eBay (over $250,000 per month in sales). He wanted to test his sales copy on eBay. I asked him if he wanted me to make a video testimonial and post it on youtube. He told me that would be cool and I did.

I made and posted the video on youtube and then embedded (a fancy word for putting the youtube video on another site) the video on my blog and other social networking sites. I linked the video to my eBay store and started chatting up product on my sites. The four items that were listed had many more hits than any of my products ever had before!!

As JL was doing his keyword research for his sales page, MY youtube video came up! I was stoked when he emailed me. This one video will help drive traffic to his product and I owe all to free social networking sites such as youtube, myspace or one of the many others such as tagged or facebook (which I have not created an account at just yet, but will be in the near future.
