8.
Be sure to fully explain any
"Affiliate Promotions" that they
can earn commissions from
and offer to sign them up for
your affiliate program at their
request.
9.
Be sure to explain the affiliate
structure and don't be afraid to
offer a publisher more
commissions than you would
normally offer other "standard
affiliates" for the same sale.
10.
Most importantly, be sure to
include the article in the body
of the email. NEVER send
the article as an attachment!
With the risk of viruses and
alike being sent out by the
millions daily, everyone is now
becoming more and more hesitant
about opening up attachments in
their email.
Here
is an
example of what your email to
the publisher might look like...

Dear Mrs. Jones,
I've been an avid reader of your ezine for
several months now and really enjoy the quality of information
you continue to provide in each issue. I especially
enjoyed the article from your November, 2005 issue titled:
"Seven Simple Ways To Save $300 A Month On Your Food
Budget - Without Sacrificing Taste!"
I myself own and operate a website related to
cooking and I'd welcome the opportunity to have my most recent
article published in your ezine.
Knowing first hand that quality, informative
content is the key ingredient in each and every issue you
publish, I'm certain you'll not only appreciate the article,
but also welcome the opportunity to share it with your
subscribers.
Furthermore, because your ezine is one of the
few that actually provides a unique section specifically
designed to offer easy yet tasteful recipes that anyone can
prepare, I think my article would make a perfect fit.
Most importantly, we do offer a 50% commission
on all cookbook sales via our affiliate program and I'd be
more than happy to extend a more lucrative offer your way.
I think a 70% commission to you (instantly via PayPal) on all
sales would surely be a very lucrative opportunity for you.
I'd also be eager and willing to have the
article below coded with your affiliate links to save you the
time and effort. Just let me know how you'd like to
approach this, and again.. I'll be more than happy to
accommodate your needs.
You can also sign up for our affiliate program
manually if you prefer at:

NOTE: All commissions are paid twice
weekly via Paypal so you will receive your commissions quickly
and easily online.
Thank you in advance for your consideration
and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Keep up the
great work!
I've copied and formatted the article below
for your review.

Now, let me ask you another
question...
What do you think will happen to
your "hit counter" if the
publisher of a popular
ezine decided to take you up on
an offer and publish your
article (complete with our
resource box) in their ezine?
Yup... You guessed it! Your
hit counter will spin out of
control. Then, as I
mentioned previously, your only
job at that point would be to
make sure each and every single
visitor who clicks through to
your website from the resource
box opts into your list!
A
simple recipe for huge profits!
Continuing along...
Below you
will find hundreds
(possibly
thousands)
of ezines that are looking
to
publish articles on all topics:
http://www.published.com
http://www.ezine-dir.com
http://www.writerswrite.com/epublishing/mldirectory.htm
http://www.zinos.com
http://www.directoryofezines.com
http://www.ezinesearch.com
http://www.marketing-seek.com
http://www.ezinelinks.com
http://ezine-universe.com
http://www.ezineseek.com
http://www.list-city.com
Now
understand,
not everyone on
these
lists
above
will accept
articles
at this time, and not every ezine
directory
will tell you
which ezines
are -- or are not --
accepting
articles,
so it will be a bit of a process
in finding out which ones do and
don't.
But the end result from your
efforts will pay off in a big
way!
Hell... I
can't do everything for ya! I'm
just one guy here ;-)
Make sure you write down all the
details of who you submit your
articles to
--
and make a
simple list or
directory
for yourself.
This way,
you'll
know where to
send
your articles the
next time,
who accepted your articles in
the past, which publishers were
open to the idea, etc..
Here
also,
is a
condensed
list of
some popular
article announcement sites:
http://www.marketing-seek.com
http://www.ideamarketers.com
http://newfreearticles.com
www.alumbo.com
www.article-emporium.com
www.reprintarticles.com
www.articlecity.com
www.addme.com
http://www.articlesfactory.com/submit.html
www.amazines.com
www.advertisingknowhow.com
http://www.articledashboard.com
NOTE: As you read over each of
the websites listed above, be sure to
also read over the various articles on
the site as well.
The key here is this...
-
LEARN from the other authors.
-
Notice their various writing styles
- which do you like best and why?
-
Take notes of those articles that
grab your attention with a great
headline, then use those headlines
as a swipe file for your own
headlines.
-
Check out the resources boxes at the
end of the articles. Do they
make you want to click through to
their websites or sign up for their
newsletter? Why?
-
Use the articles as an example of
how you can construct your own
articles.
And there you have it
my friend...
I'm sure you'll have plenty of
homework to do now.
Remember, start writing and get
those creative juices flowing.
Even if you haven't got a clue
yet about who, what, or where
your website target audience
will be... JUST START WRITING!
Practice makes
perfect.
Being able to write
informatively online is
imperative to your success.
Just like learning how to drive
a car, in my opinion, is
necessary in the real world.
|
|
"Can you get around in the
real world without knowing how
to drive a car?
YES -- you
can!..."
But you'll have to rely on a
lot of others to get you where
you want to go!
Me myself... I
don't like to rely on anyone but
me!
My final piece of advice to you
is this...
For now... Simply write about
what you're passionate about.
Then, once you develop your
skill and unique
writing style, the sky's your
limit!
I most certainly hope you
enjoyed this e-course... and I look
forward to chatting with ya
again sometime soon!
Good luck in all your
ventures...
