No Papers, No Voicemail, No Phone Calls!

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Hi All,

I just want to drop a quick post and let you know that Tim Ferriss author of the ‘Four Hour Work Week’ has hit another home run topic.

After being notified by the James Brausch post, I couldn’t resist heading over to Tim’s and reading his.  I think Tim has all the right stuff going on!

Can you imagine not having any papers to deal with, no voicemails, or zero phone calls!  Sound impossible?  Think again.

Check out Tim’s Blog post: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/06/14/how-to-do-the-impossible-create-a-paperless-life-never-check-voicemail-again-never-return-another-phone-call/

I am already implementing some of his techniques, are you?

Have you picked up his book yet?  You should be reading and applying what you learn if you want to obtain true freedom from any J-O-B.  Even your own Internet Business!

Blessings,

Craig

4 Hour Work Week

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

Hi All,

How would you like to have a four-hour week?

It can be yours if you follow a plan to developing your freedom.  After all, even if you have your own Internet Business and your still involved working, it’s just another job.

I recently finished reading a book called “The 4-Hour Workweek” by Tim Ferris recommended to me through a posting by James Brausch.

This is book is absolutely awesome as well as Tim Ferriss.  He truly is a master of developing perpetual freedom through creating product, marketing, and outsourcing life using virtual assistants.

Are you outsourcing?  I am!  In fact, before reading this book I outsourced some projects through Elance.com.  I am currently working on a project right now where I will only be paying $3.00 per hour through an overseas company that astonishingly has an overall rating of 5 out of 5 and has such unbelievable amazing reviews that it’s too good to be true, but it is!  Hey, I even outsourced buying this book by having my wife pick it up at the bookstore for me, HA :).

Back to Tim and his book…Tim provides detailed information on how to attain true freedom to do anything you want in a short period of time.  He is a genius and has put together a comprehensive plan on developing product, outsourcing life, and putting your business on autopilot.

Just take a look at some of his life accomplishments by the age of 29:

-Four-time world champion no-holds-barred cage fighter

-First American to hold Guinness world record in Tango

-Princeton University guest lecturer in entrepreneurship despite having 40% lower than average SAT scores when he enrolled at Princeton

-National Chinese kickboxing champion

-Athletic advisor to more than 30 world record holders

-Shark diver

-Motorcycle racer

-World traveler

…and the list goes on.

I highly recommend reading this book if you want to get a taste of what true freedom is all about.  You can pick it up at major bookstores.  It’s already a best seller.

To your success!

1131 Successful Article Submissions!

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Hi All,

The other day I wrote a post about Article Pro Software and the amazing results you can obtain by following through on three operating procedures.  You can view that post HERE.

I thought I would show you an awesome result from a submission I completed over this past weekend.  I was running short on time so instead of writing three article versions I only wrote one and listed the article version three times to fill up the fields.  I just wanted to get something out there since I haven’t submitted anything in about a week.  The article version being: 5steps-1a.txt

Look at the picture below I took at 95% completiton.  I have submitted my article version successfully to 1131 publisher sites!  I was working on some things so I didn’t have a final tally of the total submissions, but it was probably close to around 1190.  If you take 1131 and divide it by .95 it comes to 1190.  I have used this calculation before at various completion percentages and it comes out to be a pretty good total estimate once your submission is completed.

Just think if I would have written three article versions!  I would have had all those unique articles out there working for me.  Man, I can’t wait to get this article submitted to my external lists.

In summary,  I just wanted to show you that you can achieve some amazing article submissions if you just go ahead and put the effort into your submissions.  Remember, don’t take any shortcuts.

Blessings,

Craig

My Ultimate Traffic Generating Cash Cow

Friday, June 8th, 2007

As most of you probably already know from reading this blog or from my emails, my #1 traffic generating technique is writing and submitting articles using Article Pro Software.  It’s true, every so often I hear people not receiving the same sizzling results that I get with Article Pro Software.  Hmmmm, How could this be when we’re all using the same article submission software?  Well, let me tell you…its operator error!  Whether it’s inexperience or laziness, it doesn’t matter.  They both produce the same pathetic results.

Article Pro Software is an overpowering piece of Web Site traffic generating software…if used correctly.  Otherwise it’s just another pretty face.  Let me give you a quick example. You could go out and buy the meanest, badest, fastest Harley Davidson, but if you don’t yank on that throttle you will never experience the power that Hog is capable of putting out.  In other words, it’s just another bike.  In order for either of these products to provide maximum power they have to be operated properly.

If your not seeing amazing results from Article Pro Software, then there is a 99% chance it is due to one or more of these operating errors:

1) Your not writing three article versions.

The duplicate content penalty is real, and duplicate content articles can damage your site ranking, back links, and traffic. Today’s technologies have major search engine programmers and some of the large article directory sites equipped with sophisticated software to identify duplicate content. They use numerous metrics to evaluate Websites and pages of content to determine if an article has been duplicated on multiple sites.

Article Pro Software was specifically designed to solve the problem of duplicate content.  Article Pro Software will automatically generate a slightly different (unique) article version with every submission.  You should have at least a minimum of 5 paragraphs and 20 resource boxes.  Resource boxes only have to be written once and you can reuse your template with each article campaign.  Now take about a half hour and rewrite your original article twice so you now have three slightly different versions that retain the same paragraph structure and say the same thing, but in different words.  Go back and read my post “Why Article Marketing Is My #1 Traffic Generating Strategy” (http://craigsandrews.com/2006/10/13/why-article-marketing-is-my-1-traffic-generating-strategy/).

So, if you have three versions of a 5-paragraph article, you then have what looks like 125 different articles.  If only 125 sites pick up your articles, they will likely all be unique.  If you have 6 paragraphs you will have 216 different variations of your article and so forth.  If a few duplicates slip through, that’s fine.  Remember that the “similar results” filter Google implemented is able to catch about 17 out of every 18 duplicates.  Through testing, it has been proven that about 300 inbound links shrink to about 16 or 17 as they disappear into the “similar results” filter.  That’s an 1875% increase in effectiveness if you can submit unique articles because the inbound links they produce all count.

If this seems like too much effort than consider the alternate scenario.  If the duplicate content filters can catch 17 out of 18 duplicates then just submit 19 articles to get the same results.  Now, what takes less effort?  Rewriting one article twice? Or writing 19 unique articles? Game Over!  If your taking shortcuts your hurting your efforts.

2) Your not using the ‘External List’ feature.

Let me ask…You are continually building your own list of publishers for your topic of interests and submitting articles to them using the external.txt file, correct?  If not, your not going to achieve the maximum results of Article Pro Software.  If you’re only submitting to the internal list, your probably only submitting to approximately 200 or so publishers (the portion of the internal list that matches your article topic).  In comparison, my external list contains around 2,000.

It does take time and effort to build your own external list, but it’s like hitting the jackpot.  If your only submitting to about 200 publishers then your not likely generating the traffic results you want.

Let’s say you start putting the time in and begin building your external list to around 2,000 publishers.  Your results are going to be so much better.  Instead of submitting to 200 publishers you are now generating say 700 to 800 unique articles and reaching 2,000 publishers or more!

Now do you see the incredible power of Article Pro Software? That is why it is my #1 method for traffic generation.  Maybe now you can begin to understand why you may not be getting the same results I’m achieving with my article submission campaigns.

3) Your not submitting frequently enough.

The final point is to submit articles on a regular basis. You need to submit articles regularly if you want to build a successful Internet Business.  Each article submission I perform I am able to gather emails signing up to my blog, or I sell product, always.  How often you submit is your personal choice.  It may depend on several factors e.g. time, work, and family, ect.  Some submit weekly and others maybe daily.  I recommend at least once or twice a week.  Usually every three to four days is a good plan.

In summary, if you use Article Pro Software to it’s maximum potential you are going to see some amazing results.  If you choose to take shortcuts, well you’ll probably get the same poor results as the rest of the folks wondering why.  Go ahead yank on that throttle a little and see how fast you can go.  Feel the power?
