Duplicate Content – What Does It REALLY Mean?

Friday, October 29th, 2010

You want to write articles, blogs, or other forms of content, but you have learned that you can’t submit duplicate content to different websites.

You have to tweak the article to say things a little differently for each one, which takes a lot of time and effort.

This discourages you from even wanting to try article marketing, right?

Duplicate Content Does NOT Mean You Can’t Reuse Articles!

This is wrong information!  It is a prime example of people who think they know something, turning around and teaching it as fact to others, who then pass it on to others, etc.

So What Does “Duplicate Content” Mean?

Duplicate content just means that you can’t have the same content more than once in the same website!  (Read ezinearticles’ editorial guidelines #1 carefully.  “Original article” just means that YOU have to be the one who wrote it.)

Some people would put the same article on a website more than once to try to skew the search engines in their favor, so that has been banned.

The only time you can’t use the same content on different websites is if the website specifically states that you must come up with “unique” content.  Then you must come up with fresh material.

So take a deep breath, and start writing and submitting those articles you have floating around in your brain!  And relax and have fun with it!  It’s not as hard or time-consuming as you have been led to believe!

Now, CLICK HERE for an absolutely free ebook called, “Create Your First Website by 3:45 This Afternoon” by Chris Farrell that I am giving away, and get signed up for a free newsletter with lots of tips on making money online.  You’ll be glad you did!

My Comment Section is Not for Your Advertisements

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Like many bloggers, as well as anywhere on the internet where comments can be left, I am getting a lot of comments that are nothing more than advertisements for someone else’s business.

Some may not mind sharing their blog with others unsolicited, but I feel that the comment section is for people to make comments on the actual article I have written, not to get free advertising.

I hope this does not offend anyone, but as this is my blog, I have a right to run it as I wish, and I do not wish to allow advertising from others unless they get permission first.

So if you wish to advertise on my blog, ask in a comment (which I will not post, but will read) leaving your email address, and I will get back to you with my fee for advertising on my web page.  Or maybe we could work out a swap – you blog about your product or program, and then I blog on your site, or place a banner ad, or something.  We can work something out.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

My Big Revelation

I have been spending the past month or so doing intense training with my mentor, Chris Farrell.  Chris Farrell’s membership site has been voted the Number One Internet Marketing Service by IM Report Card.

And I can verify that he deserves it!  His training is top-notch, and even if you are a complete newbie who knows nothing about technology or the marketing business, you can understand everything he teaches.

Your Free Gift

I have also mentioned a free gift for you.  Well, it is ready for you!  Chris has written a wonderful eBook called, “Create YourFirst Website By 3:45 This Afternoon.”

Chris only puts out quality material that is loaded with information.  He leaves nothing out.  (Have you noticed that most authors of eBooks or courses will leave out important steps, and then tell you that you have to purchase their expensive programs or books to get the full story?  Not Chris!  He tells you EVERYTHING you need to know!)

7 Internet Marketing Myths – Part 6

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

Okay, here we are at the last myth!  If you have stayed with me through this series, congratulations!  We are now at the end!

Myth #7:  It’s Only the Ones Who CREATE the Programs Who Make Any Money

This is my favorite myth, because it is the one I hear personally most often from those around me.

And once again, there is a grain of truth in there, but it is not a TRUTH.

It is true that the ones who make the MOST money online are those who create the programs, but even newbies can make money online if they are able to connect with the right program,  the right product, or the right idea immediately.

However, most people will NOT make money right away.  You need to build your list, build a relationship with your list, and THEN you can start making money.  Probably not a lot at first, but eventually you can build up your income, until you are making a good income with your online business.

Once this is rolling, THEN is the time to think about creating your own program, ebook, or whatever you feel led to create, and then YOU can be one of the big success stories!

And this brings us to the end of the 7 Internet Marketing Myths!  I hope you learned something from this series.

My next blog post will explain what I have been doing for the past month, and introduce you to my mentor who has been helping me greatly.  See you then!

7 Internet Marketing Myths – Part 5

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Are you ready for our next myth?  Here it is!

Myth #6:  The Big Money Talk is JUST HYPE!

As I’ve told you before, “It takes money to make money.”  Well, it’s true, although it is hard to find experienced internet marketers who will tell you how much they spend on promoting and advertising.

Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to find the truth in all the hype you read.  It’s a fact that the people who make a lot of money online also spend a lot of money on advertising, tools, resources, salaries to their team, and education.  They also spend a lot of time building their business – it doesn’t happen for them overnight, no matter what the sales letters say.

And it won’t happen overnight for you, either.  If you are willing to take the necessary action to make “big money” happen for you – it will.  But it takes time.

You can criticize, be skeptical, and be sure that “big money” can’t happen for you – and it won’t.  But if you believe that you will succeed, you’re right – you will.

But attitude is a whole ‘nuther blog post!  So we won’t go into it any more here.  Just know that it really is possible to make lots of money online.

And next time, we will cover the last of the 7 myths!  Stay tuned!

7 Internet Marketing Myths – Part 4

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

And now for our next myth to debunk:

Myth #5:  It’s TOO LATE to Start an Internet Business!

Most internet marketers would love to hear people say, “It’s too late now!” “There’s too much competition!” “The Internet is too complicated!” etc., etc.  You know why?  The less people they have to compete with, the better for them!

The fact is, it’s never, ever too late to start anything, and that includes an internet business.  The internet is not going anywhere.  Every year, the number of people shopping online is increasing, and their spending dollars are growing.  Every year, lots of people start new businesses online, and every year lots of people trying to do business online quit.

There is plenty of room for many, many new online entrepreneurs.  When it seems like the market is getting saturated, just look for new places to advertise.  There really is a market for your business, if you just put forth the effort to find it.

Or better yet, find the market first, and then tailor your business to meet that need!

Now, there are just two more myths to go, so stay tuned!

7 Internet Marketing Myths – Part 3

Monday, October 4th, 2010

Are you ready for Myths #3 and #4?  Here they are!

Myth #3:  ANYONE Can Make Money Online

This is simply not true.  Unless you get off your recliner and read everything you can about internet marketing, and unless you put an action plan in motion, you will never make a dime on the internet.  DO NOTHING, MAKE NOTHING.

Also, if you think you are going to make money without putting in a lot of time and effort, you will not make money online.

Another reason for not making money online is if you get involved with the wrong program(s) or the program(s) that are not right for you.  You can spend and lot of time and effort trying to make money, but if the program doesn’t tell you everything (many leave important things out so that you will buy their more expensive program), or if they tell you things that are outdated or just wrong, you can work really hard and still not make a dime!  (This is when it is most discouraging, since you really are trying.)

Another thing that can keep someone from making money online is the wrong attitude.  Having the right attitude is so important to making money!  I personally know someone who has been trying for years to make money being in a home business, but this person has the wrong attitude about the whole procedure, and consequently, has not made any money whatsoever.

Myth #4:  You Can “GET RICH QUICK” on the Internet

This is the trap that a lot of newbie internet marketers fall into, including me when I first started.

Why?  Because scammers make it sound so easy!  Let me tell you, chasing “get rich quick” schemes is a waste of time, money, and energy.  It just won’t happen overnight.

Instead, do some research to find out what people really want and need, and then give it to them!  Especially give them a sense of reality.

Maybe you have already fallen for one of the first four myths.  That is okay.  Don’t berate yourself or call yourself a failure.  Just pick yourself up, shake off the dust, take a deep breath, and start over fresh.

You are only a failure when you stop trying!

Now, stay tuned next time for the continuation of this series, read to the end, then get to work building your business the right way!
