If you are truly serious about driving ultra-responsive targeted traffic to your website and generating serious money online like never before, please read what I have to say below, it?s important!

There Is One Overlooked *Technique* That Can Make You A Decent Living On The Internet, ... On Autopilot!

Your information --- in the form of useful articles for your readers-- will "pre-sell" your products and services to them, earn you credibility in your prospects eyes, and give them a reason to go to your website - to read more from you --- the expert.

What do we mean pre-sell?It simply means that we are going to warm up to our visitors by giving them something (for free) to show that we are willing to make a contribution to their lives. We are willing to do this with no strings attached. In other words, we become a "value add" to their lives.

But there's a big problem you have. It's not easy to post the article to many sites( around 300 sites ). It's very time consuming.

You want to have as many visitors as possible to flood your website!The only way to increase the number of visitors is to increase the number of sites that you post to.

Each article site has its own form that need to be filled out. Usually, it takes at least about 5 minutes to manually post one article to one article site. How many minutes it will take to post one article to 260 sites? 5x260=1,300 minutes, which is more than 20 hours! That's about 3-4 days' intensive manual work! Imagine after writing an article, and then spending almost a whole week trying to get it posted to these 260 sites, will you do it again?

Writing Techniques

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Admin) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:31:44 +0000

Writing is an important form of communication. Good writers use different writing techniques to fit their purpose for writing. To be a good writer, you must master each of the following writing techniques.

1. Description

Through description, a writer helps the reader use the senses of feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting to experience what the writer experiences. Description helps the reader more clearly understand the people, places, and things about which the writer is writing. It is the most common form of writing. You will find descriptive writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and most other forms of written communication.

2. Exposition

Through exposition, a writer informs, explains, and clarifies his/her ideas and thoughts. Exposition goes beyond description to help the reader understand with greater clarity and depth the ideas and thoughts of the writer. Expository writing, like descriptive writing, is commonly found in newspapers, magazines, books, and most other forms of written communication.

3. Narration

Through narration, a writer tells a story. A story has characters, a setting, a time, a problem, attempts at solving the problem, and a solution to the problem. Bedtime stories are examples of short stories while novels are examples of long stories. The scripts written for movies and plays are further examples of narrative writing.

4. Persuasion

Through persuasion, a writer tries to change a reader's point of view on a topic, subject, or position. The writer presents facts and opinions to get the reader to understand why something is right, wrong, or in between. Editorials, letters to the editor in newspapers and magazines, and the text for a political speech are examples of persuasive writing.

5. Comparison and Contrast

Through comparison and contrast, a writer points out the similarities and differences about a topic. Comparison is used to show what is alike or in common. Contrast is used to show what is not alike or not in common. Describing living conditions in 1900 and living conditions today would allow for much comparison and contrast.

By using the writing technique that fits your purpose, you will be able to communicate your ideas effectively.

Book Marketing - 3 Secrets Of Successful Information Marketers

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (BobBurnham) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:01:43 +0000

Information marketing is the number one way to make huge profits from your book. Here are three book marketing secrets from the most successful information marketers today.

Book Marketing Secret # 1 Give it away for free

If you give it away for free, they will come. Or they will at least exchange their email address for your free information. Once you have their email address, you can contact them to make product announcements, promote affiliate products or simply say hello.

Additionally, by giving away quality free information, you’re letting prospective customers know that you are a reliable source of quality information. It gives you credibility and it enables your customers to know that you are a trustworthy source.

You can provide small bits of free information in a variety of ways. If you’re pursuing a career in information marketing then you can use free articles and reports on your niche topic as a way to enhance your credibility.

Book Marketing Secret # 2 Stress the benefits

If you want to sell your book, you must sell the benefits that people will receive by reading it. The most well written and interesting book won’t sell a single copy if there isn’t an expressed benefit to be gained by reading it. Maybe the benefit is as simple as the fact that after you read it, you’ll be smarter. That’s still a benefit and a desire by many.

Stress the benefits by first listing them in your book’s title. A book titled “Organic Gardening” isn’t nearly as compelling as “How to Grow Your Own Organic Garden and Lengthen Your Life by Ten Years.”

Marketing E-book Can Do for You, What Works & What Doesn't

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Reginald Curtis) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 08:30:50 +0000

An E-book that includes your marketing message and a link to your website is a proven technique in viral marketing. Using viral E-books as a marketing method is cheap. It doesn’t take long to set up and it’s even quicker if you use rebrandable E-books that have been written by others.

This is the basic principle that was used by Hotmail to get established. When the two founders set up their free email system, all the messages that were sent by subscribers had a text message at the bottom which identified Hotmail as the origin. People who sent emails to their friends advertised the free email site.

Using viral E-books as a marketing method is cheap. It doesn’t take long to set up and it’s even quicker if you use rebrandable E-books that have been written by others. Just use your favorite search engine and do a web search. You will find many rebrandable E-books that are available on whatever subject you are interested in and that apply to your e-business. One method of distributing the E-book is to offer it to visitors in exchange for subscribing to your newsletter. If they pass it on to their friends and family it will promote your business for you.

E-books are fairly easy to create. It’s possible to produce your own E-books by combining articles that you have written or have gotten from public domain sources, such as directories.

E-books are capable of reaching a large audience and are limited only by the enthusiasm of the participants.

A common approach is to use material that has Private Label Rights, including articles and reports that have been written specifically for that purpose, for that niche. Using a portion of a larger work that you have prepared such as the first three chapters of a large E-book could also be used as a viral E-book.

What Works & What Doesn't. A true viral campaign gets forwarded because consumers are compelled to do so by the glory of the content, not because you bribed them with points or something else.

Publishing Made Easy

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Johnny Mc. Gondalf) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:01:08 +0000

Recent studies unveiled that more than 80% of Americans want to write a book. Meanwhile the National Endowment for Arts reports that only 57 percent of American have read even one book in the last twelve months!

Regardless of that reading-writing paradox, this article will tell you how you can get published even though you never have the chance before.

What makes you want to put something on paper and publish it?

Most people will agree that the common answer for that question is simply fame and fortune. If you have a business, then by publishing a book or an ebook you can gain a reputation as an expert in your business.

Whatever the reason is, the chance that you will see your manuscripts published by a reputable institution is slim.

Beside of your manuscripts - assuming that you've completed each - there are other two million manuscripts currently completed and ready to be published. On the other hand, there are only 64,000 publishers on record, and only a small number of those are actively seeking new manuscripts.

Most of those two million books stand no chance of being accepted by a traditional publisher. Those authors that do make the cut are not necessarily the best writers, but rather are those who can sell themselves and their stories most convincingly.

So, what makes you and your manuscripts stay out of the crowd?

Here is the first thing you should do. Make sure your manuscripts are the best they can be. Proof reading, editing or even rewriting by an outside firm or well-read and literate friend would give much help.

Some authors, after rejections from the trade, will find themselves victims of vanity publishers, who take advantage of the hopes and aspirations of writers to extract an exorbitant fee to 'publish' their book.

Writing a Book Report

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Admin) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:32:37 +0000

A book report should contain a factual summary of the book along with your reaction to the book. Book reports usually range from 250 to 500 words.

Your teacher may have specific requirements about what you must include in a book report. Your teacher may even provide you with a very specific form to use. A good book report should include the following:

1. Basic Information about the Book

Title
Author
Publisher
Year published
Number of pages

2. Summary

Where the story takes place (setting)
When the story takes place (time)
Who tells the story (narrator)
Main character (protagonist)
Secondary characters
Sequence of important events (plot)
How the book ends

3. Your Reaction

Was the book well written?
If you have read other books by the same author, how does this book compare with the others?
Would you recommend this book to others? Why or why not?

Once you have completed your book report, check to make sure you have:

Correct spelling
Correct punctuation and grammar
A complete and accurate summary

Your book report makes it clear that you have read the entire book. As you read the book think about what you want to include in your book report. Jotting down some notes can be helpful. Write your book report as soon as possible after you finish reading the book.

A book report makes you think about what you are reading. You will find this adds to your enjoyment of the book.

Writing a Research Paper

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Admin) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:30:43 +0000

To write a good research paper, you must be specific about your topic, know what you want to say, and say it effectively. Following these ten steps will help you write a good research paper.

Step 1. Choose Your Topic. When choosing a topic, choose one in which you are interested, and for which there is enough information. If your topic is too broad, you will have difficulty completing your paper. “The Effects of Pollution” is too broad because there are so many effects of pollution. “The Effects of Pollution on Geese in the Northeast Section of Duluth, Minnesota” is too narrow. You are not likely to find much information that is this specific. “The Effects of Pollution in Yosemite National Park” is just about right as a topic.

Step 2. Locate Information. Use information from a variety of reference sources. These sources include encyclopedias, almanacs, scholarly journals, books, magazines, and newspapers. Find these sources in print form, on CD-ROMS, and on the Internet.

Step 3. Prepare Bibliography Cards. Prepare bibliography cards to document the sources of information you use when writing your paper. Your library will have style manuals to illustrate how to prepare bibliography cards for various sources of information.

Step 4. Prepare Note Cards. Use note cards to record notes from each source you use when writing your paper. Number your note cards to keep track of them.
Step 5. Prepare an Outline. Write an outline for your paper by organizing your notes from the note cards into topics, subtopics, details, and subdetails. Use an organization such as:

I.
(topic)

A.

(subtopic)

1.
(detail)

a. (subdetail)

Step 6. Write A Rough Draft. Use your note cards and outline to write a rough draft of your paper. As you write your draft, use numbered footnotes to credit sources from which you take quotations or major ideas.

Step 7. Revise Your Rough Draft. Make any changes needed to be sure your ideas are clearly expressed and your writing has accurate spelling and grammar.

Step 8. Prepare Your Bibliography. At the end of your paper, provide a list of all the sources you used to gather information for the paper. Your bibliography cards will provide this information. List your sources in alphabetical order by the first word on each of your bibliography cards.

Step 9. Prepare a Title Page and Table of Contents. The title page is the first page of the paper. It should include the title of your paper, your name, and the date on which the paper is due. The table of contents is the second page. It should list the main topics, important subtopics, and the page on which each is introduced in your paper.

Step 10. Final Checklist. Before handing in your paper, be sure you can answer “Yes” to each of the following questions.

Did I include a title page?
Did I include a table of contents?
Did I number all pages correctly?
Did I provide footnotes for quotations and major sources of information?
Did I include a bibliography?
Did I keep a second copy for my files?

Following these ten steps will help you write a good research paper.

Word Identification Strategy

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Admin) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 21:28:30 +0000

From time to time while reading you will see a word you cannot identify. It may be a word you think you know but cannot identify, or it may be a word that is new to you. When this happens, you should use a word identification strategy to identify and say the word.

Here are the steps of a word identification strategy you can use. Each step tells one thing you should do when you come to a word you cannot identify. Continue to follow the steps until you have identified the word.

1. LOOK AGAIN at the word. As you look at the word again, say each letter in the word. This will get you to look more carefully at the word. Often, when you look at a word a second or third time, you will identify the word as a word you know.

2. READ THE SENTENCE containing the word to see if you can determine what the word means by how it is used in the sentence. Sometimes, knowing the meaning of a word will help you identify the word.

3. LOOK FOR A PREFIX at the beginning of the word. A prefix is a word part that is attached to the beginning of a word. Here are some examples of words with the prefix underlined: prepaid, unheard, rerun.

4. LOOK FOR A SUFFIX at the end of the word. A suffix is a word part that is attached to the end of a word. Here are some examples of words with the suffix underlined: lovely, tallest, spelling.

5. LOOK FOR THE STEM. The stem is what remains after the removal of a prefix and/or suffix. If there is no prefix or suffix, then the whole word is the stem. Here are some examples of words with the stem underlined: prepaid, lovely, misspelling).

6. BLEND AND SAY THE WORD. Blend together the prefix if there is one, the stem, and the suffix if there is one to say the entire word. For example: un+help+ful = unhelpful.

7. USE A DICTIONARY to help identify the word. Look in the dictionary for the word and its phonetic respelling. The phonetic respelling shows the most common pronunciation of the word. Use the phonetic respelling to help you pronounce the word. Also, look at the definitions provided for the word. Select the definition that best fits the meaning of the word as used in the sentence. Knowing the pronunciation of the word and its meaning should allow you to identify the word.

8. ASK SOMEONE for help identifying the word. If you have reached this step and still cannot identify the word, ask your teacher, parent, or another student to help you identify and say the word.

Use this word identification strategy whenever needed in your reading. You cannot understand what you read unless you can identify most or all of the words.

Using Reference Sources

dziaulhaque@gmail.com (Admin) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:27:43 +0000

As you go through school, you will need to use reference sources to find information about topics, locate facts, and answer questions. Here are five types of reference sources you should use. Each type is available in print forms, on CD-ROMs, and on the Internet.

1. Dictionary

A dictionary provides information about the meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of words. Unabridged dictionaries attempt to be complete by including all words currently in use in a language. They provide extensive information about the words included. Abridged dictionaries omit words that do not regularly appear in books, magazines, and newspapers. Specialized dictionaries provide detailed information about the words that apply to a particular subject such as space, math, biology, psychology, and many more. They include technical words that are rarely used outside of the subject.

2. Thesaurus

A thesaurus contains synonyms for commonly used words. A synonym is a word that has the same meaning or nearly the same meaning as another word. For example, "simple" is a synonym for "easy." A thesaurus contains many more synonyms for a word than does a dictionary. A thesaurus can help you precisely express your ideas when writing.

3. Encyclopedia

An encyclopedia contains articles on a variety of subjects. The articles are written by experts on each of the subjects. In addition to articles, encyclopedias may include illustrations and diagrams, definitions of some words, and references to additional information. A general encyclopedia includes overview articles on a wide range of topics. A subject encyclopedia contains longer and more detailed articles on specific topics, events, or fields of study.

4. Almanac

An almanac is an annual single-volume reference source that contains useful facts about a wide range of topics. You can learn about countries of the world, government, historical events, and many other topics. Because almanacs are revised each year, the information is current.

5. Atlas

An atlas is a collection of maps. The most common atlas contains maps that show the political and physical features of countries throughout the world. A political map shows government boundaries. A physical map shows the features of the earth's surface such as mountains, deserts, and bodies of water. You may also use a road map to learn how to get from place to place. There are also specialized atlases for such things as weather across the world, oceans of the world, and even the anatomy of the human body.

Wherever you study, be sure you have access to each of these important reference sources.
