Two things you’ll want to check out:

1.) Lewis (my business partner from BuildMyLens.com) and I launched a tips blog for social marketing on Hub Pages: http://www.hubpagespro.com/blog/.

2.) I’m really excited about this: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=245958

Nobody else is doing this that I know of. It’s a self promoting, affiliate marketing, AdSense revenue wielding thingymajigger. Everyone will want one. Few will be fortunate to get it. Well in this case, only ONE marketer will get it. lol But few for future ones.

Thoughts? Opinions? Gripes? Compliments? Spill it….

Whenever I recommend anything to my list, I always worry and wonder, “Will they find it as valuable as I did?”  It’s one of the reasons I refuse to promote anything I don’t believe it – because I’d be humiliated if I got a lot of emails saying, “Tiff! Why’d you mislead me?”

But I was pleasantly not surprised when I started getting feedback on the 7 Minute Article guide I recommended here on the blog and in my emails to my list.  People loved it! And the feedback was the same – everyone liked the 1 into 8 idea like I did (this is where he shows you how to take 1 article and turn it into 8 unique ones).

Here’s one email I got this morning:

“Jason certainly produced an eye opener here. Plenty of great tips, and the ‘8 articles in 1′ idea is absolutely wicked!

Thanks, Tiffany, for a brilliant report.

Viviane”

I got more from other people, but I won’t post them all here. Point is – it feels good to help people discover gems. Make sure that before you promote anything, you always buy a copy of it first or if they approach you, insist on reviewing a product and then don’t just promote it because they gave you one. If you feel it isn’t worthy, don’t put your name on it!

Jason’s 7 Minute Article (which will really take you 10) is a great buy. And I put MY name on the line for that.

If you’re a lover of free marketing tactics, as I am, then you’re probably using articles to help drive targeted traffic to your domain – whether they’re on EzineArticles or Squidoo or wherever.

But article marketing isn’t being used by everyone. Why? A LOT of people don’t feel comfortable writing. I know – I’m the one they come to asking me to ghostwrite for them.

It’s either too time consuming or they can’t eek out a well-organized, effective article.  From time to time someone on my list will email me asking for tips on how to write.

That’s been hard for me to convey because it took years in Journalism courses in college for me to master. But someone else created a guide to writing a 7 minute article (personally I think it’ll take a non-pro 10 minutes, but that’s still a great pace).

I don’t know the guy – Jason Fladlien – but I did get his product just to see if it can “help me help you” (in the words of Jerry Maguire).  I really liked what I read. Read the rest of this entry »
