Instant Article Wizard Review

If you are a niche marketer and web publisher, you understand that the best way to achieve high search engine ranking for your keywords on Google, Yahoo, and MSN is to continually post relevant, unique and original articles on your website or blog.

Well researched and relevant content is crucial to your online success. It is what gets you indexed by the major search engines and so your ongoing task is to provide quality content that is peppered with the right keywords and includes contextual links in order to profit from articles whether you are targeting adsense income or related affiliate programs.

Instant Article Wizard 2.0 is a very user friendly article writing software interface that makes article research and creation much more streamlined. Since niche marketing is extremely profitable today, most web publishers are must often write about topics they know little about; many frustrated website owners are now purchasing PLR articles or outsourcing the writing tasks to professionals who generally charge from $5 - $10 per 500 word article. This can become a major expense which can take some time to recoup from earnings.
Instant Article Wizard 2.0 can reduce the time spent on writing and researching by over 75%. It will take an individual roughly an hour to research and locate suitable information and write a complete article about a niche topic, and you can imagine if the topic is brand new to the researcher this time will be greatly extended. Instant Article Wizard 2.0 makes it possible for anyone to research AND write quality articles in less than 15 minutes. Simply input your chosen keywords and the software quickly researches your topic and creates an outline that includes an introduction, article body, and conclusion, and gives you a multitude of relevant sentences and phrases which can be easily woven into a professional and original, keyword rich article in minutes.
I'd recommend this piece of software to niche marketers who need to constantly feed sites with fresh content and to article marketers who submit to article directories on a regular basis. This is also ideal for bloggers who manage several commercial blogs which need updating consistently.
Some marketers I know are already using it to supply articles to a client base and so you could actually start an article supply business with Instant Article Wizard 2.0 as your main software component.

Blogging to the Bank

If you are on a tight budget, but desperately want to get started with an online business, then Blogging to the Bank by Rob Benwell may be just the easy and no cost solution you are looking for.

Most people know about weblogs, also known as blogs. What most people don't know is that you can make a nice income with a free blog.

Rob Benwell's Blogging To The Bank 2.0 is a detailed breakdown and explanation of the techniques used by one of England's youngest and most commercially successful bloggers to create profitable blogs that draw in thousands of targeted visitors. Or so he says — so let's find out! After introducing himself and detailing his background and previous experience, Benwell sets the framework for his approach, stating, "The only way to have long term blogs that produce results for months to come is to follow the 5 blogging commandments".

So we're all working from the same perspective, here are the five commandments in full:

1) Imitate Nature: Don’t go stuffing keywords into posts or overdoing on page SEO. Google, Yahoo, and MSN are looking for quality sites by real people, not someone spitting out hundreds of blogs per month filled with keywords and ads. 2) Add Some Visitor Value: About every post you write should offer some value to your readers. Now this doesn't mean it has to change their life or anything but it needs to offer them value. Even posts about a related article with a link or a product review are good. Blogs filled with RSS vomit don’t offer value and won't last. 3) Make It Sticky: Your blog should have people coming back to it and reading it again and again. Make sure you include RSS reader buttons so visitors can subscribe to the feed. Also opt-in newsletters that offer more than just updates are a good idea but the number one way to get people to come back is to offer excellent likable content. 4) Don’t Let Your Blog Die: After testing I've seen huge differences in blogs that are kept updated and offers that don’t get new posts. You don't have to post every day or even every week but make sure you don't just set them up and forget about them because they will die off and lose traffic. 5) Market = Profit: If you are after making the most money you can from a blog them the most important decision you make will be the market you blog for so make sure you research it well first. From there we move on to his step-by-step blueprint, which I intend to follow precisely, so let's get started. Step one is market research and the first thing to decide is whether to target an affiliate product market or rely on Google AdSense or other advertising to generate money. The key to finding a viable market lies in identifying keyword phrases that get enough search engine results as to indicate there is enough demand to hope to generate enough traffic to make your efforts worthwhile and Benwell explains clearly how to conduct this fundamental research. To create your blog, Benwell strongly recommends using your own webhosting account and WordPress. He recommends Yahoo Small Business for their reliability and ease of use, though there are of course many other possibilities. Having set up a blog, the next concern is content. Remember the fourth blogging commandment? Don't let your blog die by failing to keep adding fresh content. This can of course be a real problem for some people who are either unable to write regularly. Fortunately there are several solutions to be found on the web. In addition to writing his own content, Benwell uses a subscription service called PLR Pro, which costs $97 a month for 440 articles in 11 different niche subjects, but there are cheaper options. Benwell lists a variety of sources for either paid freelance or entirely free of charge content and a quick search will turn up those exact same sites, too. Another crucial issue is optimizing your blog, which means making it look good, easy to read and navigate through, and keeping it search engine-friendly. There is a ton of good advice in Blogging To The Bank, from using distinctive, preferably unique, design to adding RSS Reader icons and, a key point, collecting reader email addresses. He also gives detailed explanations of how to tweak the WordPress code properly for maximum Search Engine Optimization (SEO) benefit and user friendliness, which I am going to duplicate on Blogger. Having got your site established, the next thing is to get your site noticed and Benwell details a broad variety of ways to do this, including pinging; article syndication, to facilitate which he includes a free software program with the e-Book which, though fairly basic and in need of an update, is a real time saver; link exchanges; press releases; forums; and getting free or paid links back to your site. Another related major chapter covers newer techniques, generally known as Web 2.0 promotion and traffic generation techniques. Benwell highlights his four top sites in useful "how to" detail, which are Squidoo, Digg, del.icio.us and Technorati. Obviously, really committing to Rob Benwell's Blogging To The Bank techniques is going to take an ongoing commitment of time and modest resources, more than I can give for review purposes here. He claims to be making a six figure income through persistent application and in his ninth and final step explains how and where he finds freelance writers and coders to outsource a lot of the grunt work, leaving him more time to manage his blog empire. He closes by detailing some extra techniques for maximising the income from your site, doing advanced SEO and also offers an affiliate opportunity to promote his e-Book. His last words are probably the most pertinent:

The worst thing you can do is put this e-book down and not do anything with the amazing information you've just learnt. So at least do a little research, make a plan of action for yourself over the next week or so and stick to it. Here's to your blogging success. If you are attracted to the idea of blogging your way to financial freedom, this e-book will serve as your guide.

Why are blog empires a perfect way for making money?

1. Blogs are easy to set up and manage: Maintaining a blog doesn't require programming and web design skills. You just register an account with a blogging service like Blogger.com, and you can start immediately posting messages.

2. There are no start-up costs: Blogging services like Blogger are absolutely free. You don't need to spend money on hosting and domain names. If you run 30-50 niche sites and pay a domain name for each, it's a huge sum of money. If you run 30-50 or hundreds of blogs, when using free bloggging services, it doesn't cost you a dime.

3. Blogs are indexed by search engines within days: One of the main problems that website owners have to overcome is getting into the search engines. With Google it can be an annoyingly long process (think of the Google sandbox effect). In the meantime, blogs are indexed much faster, usually within days, thanks to RSS feeds.

4. Blogs are a better way to promote affiliate products: This comes from the nature of blogs. Blogs are a series of subjective opinions written by everyday people. It is a well-known fact, that the best way to sell affiliate products is to write a sincere, positive review. Experienced internet gurus use this technique to rank in tens of thousands of dollars monthly. Word of mouth advertising is till one of the most effective methods to persuade people to buy something. A well written blog post can do this for you.

5. Blogs can be easily monetized by using Adsense: Contextual advertising is a popular way for webmasters to earn money without effort. With blogs it is the same. Just put a piece of code into your page's source and there you have it. Then wait for your visitors to click the ads. Even if you don't know much of HTML codes, you can benefit from displaying text ads. Blogger offers you to put Adsense ads on your blog's template, and you can do this from the Blogger menu with a few clicks, so no need to bother with HTML codes. It even offers you to match the color of ads with the colors of your blog's layout. It is called blending and it increases click through rates enormously.

GET PAID TO BLOG

Get paid for blogging. You've been writing about Web sites, products, services and companies you love for years and you have yet to benefit from all the sales and traffic you have helped generate. That's about to change. With PayPerPost advertisers are willing to pay you for your opinion on various topics. Search through a list of Opportunities, make a blog posting, get your content approved, and get paid. It's that simple.

Paid per post have some tools that can help you to build your referrals list.

REFERRALS and how it works

No worries, it's not too complicated. Simply tell your friend about PayPerPost by posting one of the badges on your site. The magic all happens when your friend is creating an account. You will get paid $15.00 once the referees first blog posting is reviewed, approved and then finally accepted 30 days later. This means they need to go all the way through the process in order for it to be a legit referral. If they do it right and are accepted we will hook you up. There is no limit to the number of people you can refer so long as we don't see any fishy business with your account.
If you sign up multiple accounts with different emails under the same TAX ID or individual you will not be compensated and will risk being eliminated from our program. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time.

Review My Post

PayPerPost is proud to introduce the new Review My Post program! By simply putting a badge at the bottom of *EVERY* post, you can invite new prospective Posties to review your blog posts! When someone clicks on this badge and signs up with PayPerPost, a special opportunity is created JUST FOR THEM! The $7.50 opportunity asks them to write a post in their blog reviewing a post on YOUR blog.
This is a great opportunity for you to earn money and grow your sphere of influence. You can generate thousands of links back to your site and earn money for each link! As soon as the new Postie gets paid for reviewing your blog you get paid $7.50! To get the most out of this program, be sure to place this badge code at the bottom of every post on your blog, even the ones that aren't sponsored posts. The more posts that the badge is tagged to, the wider variety of content potential posties have to blog about when they review your post! The easiest way to achieve this is to simply modify your blog post template so that the badge automatically appears whenever you post a new blog.
Sign Up Forms

You can add a sign up page to your blog, be it a blog post, in the side bar or anywhere else. When someone signs up as a blogger or an advertiser via you, you'll get credit and paid for helping to improve PayPerPost membership!

When you sign up a blogger, you get paid just like the referral program. $15 once the new Postie gets paid for their first opportunity post. And if you sign up an Advertiser, you'll get $25 when they make their first deposit!

It's super easy, too! Just copy the code below and place it on your web page for the type of form you wish to display. You can do one or both.


When do I get paid for an approved post?

Once your post is approved, our system sends it back to the Review team for a second round check 30 days after the original submit date. If the post is still live, and unchanged, it will be approved again and you will receive payment via PayPal.

When do I get paid for others who sign up through my Referral Badge?

Once the referred Blogger has submitted a post, post is approved, and finally post is paid to them; you will receive a payment of $15.00!

When do I get paid for the Review My Post program?

Once the Blogger has selected Review My Post from your blog, they must then submit a valid blog. After that, they must complete a post for the Review My Post Opportunity created just for them, submit the post, and have the post approved. When that approved post is paid to them, you will also receive $7.50!
