How to write a High Quality Article in 6 minutes 59 seconds?
I just sat down to write this article with my stop watch running. My plan is to write this article in 10 minutes or less. Of course I have to touch all the important points like how to write introduction, write headlines, conclusion and author bio box.
If you take a look at any article, there is a structure that they follow. If there is no structure, it’s going to be really hard to relay your message across with the article. The speed bumps this kind of structure less articles creates a bad experience for the reader.
How to get rid of this structure less speed bumps?
One of the thing about a good article needs is a flow in the article. If you read your article aloud, you’ll automatically be able to see where these speed bumps are.
A good structure needs to be followed in a step by step manner.
For example a good structure for any article will be
Article headline
Article introduction
Article content
Article Conclusion
Author bio box
A good headline needs to invoke curiosity and intrigue in the reader. If it doesn’t the headline is a failure. Some of the popular and easy to use headlines include “How to” or “Discover”.
Then you have to write your introduction, where you’ll be introducing your content topic. With a small introduction of hundred words, you are ready to dive into the meat of the topic.
Here you should discuss your article in as detail as you want. Remember too much information makes reader yawn. Make it interesting, make it snappy, make it concise.
After your article content you are going to angle in your conclusion. Again, like the introduction, this one is easy to write. You have to conclude the basic idea of the article and re-phrase you major points of the article. That’s it, your article is done.
Now with a nice author bio box, where you can discuss your self, your website and give link to readers to take action, you article is finished.
Now as you can see, I just finished this article. There’s not even any need to write a conclusion for this?

Specialized websites – Why Affiliate websites need to be tweaked a little differently
Affiliate marketers needs a website that helps with their goal. They cannot just go ahead and build websites like other webmasters. In this article, you’ll learn how to create attractive, interesting, engaging and interactive websites.
The major goal of your affiliate website is to design a website built around customer needs. There are many factors to be considered to build a site like this.
Build it for Speed – It’s going to help your cause, if you don’t make your websites graphics extensive. These days with graphic optimization, CSS and other resources, you can build a beautifully designed lightweight website in no time.
If you have to add any kind of graphics (flash, streaming audio/videos), then there should be a purpose to have those in place.
Keeping the pulse on the market
If you know and understand your market, you’ll be able to create website that suits your customers needs. When you are targeting your market, your design should reflect it. For example, If you are targeting business professional, make sure to have a website, which looks professional and informative.
Focusing on Key point.
I do not recommend to make a “Comparison” type affiliate websites. If possible, you should focus on one product (or product line related to that product). It’ll help you get focused and create dedicated pre-sell pages for your website.
When you are trying to be everything to everyone, you end up with nobody to noone.
Pre-sell Webpages
Your pre-sell webpages will be a different part of your website, where you are going to promote (or pre-sell) the product/s. These pre-sell pages have lots of copywriting elements that you can use. For example. Statement of proof (video, audio or pictures) can be added. Or you can show the product in use (A video).
There are many ways, you can add elements which further helps people to trust you and your recommendations.
Content – Content is King
There can be never enough Extra content on your website. You should aim to provide extra content that’ll help you promote and pre-sell affiliate products.
In most markets, a training section related to the product can be really helpful.
Next thing about content is that you have to provide content on regular basis. Keep updating your website and promoting it.
Consistency in content, design, promotion.
You have to consistent in your design elements, content elements and promotion activities. If you are not consistent, you’ll not get regular traffic and chances of converting them into sales is going to be very low.
Conversion of your website
When you have place all these elements in your website, then you can get started on working and improving your conversion rate of pre-sell or content.
Again, all these elements are powerful individually, but taken together they can be really really powerful.
When you think in terms of elements that sells, you’ll start seeing your websites differently.
Building a New Income Stream Everyday in Less than 3 hrs.
A simple Question : – What it takes to create a new Income stream?
A simple Answer :– Sell something that’s already selling.
If I have to tell you, that you can build 20–30 new income stream in next 30 days, would you believe it?
I bet you wouldn’t. But Let just suspend this belief for a moment.
Believe you can do it. Imagine How it’d change your life?
And this is exactly what I am going to show you here. If you’ve been looking at online marketing for some time, then I believe you already have all the most important resources (i.e. Aweber’s list building services, domain, hosting etc).
And you are not going to spend a pretty much a single penny if you already have all the above resources.
When I talked about Income stream, the biggest clue or Idea for you to latch on is by creating product.
Personally I can write a report in couple of hours and get it ready to sell in less than 3 hrs. But I know, not everybody is like me and can type really fast.
So I am going for the next best option. PLR (private label Rights) Products. Now Before you roll your eyes and get angry, listen to me. There are quite a good lot of PLR products out there which can be sold for pretty penny.
Now the biggest everyone makes with these products is that they try to sell it as it is.
What I want you to do what nobody else is doing it (besides me, I guess).
And the thing is called “A little work”. Yup, you are going to work a little.
Anyways, what I want you to do is,
1. Clean up the PLR Document you have, completely. Remove the titles page and everything useless.
2. Remove All the Un-necessary Junk from the document. This here have to be done carefully. Most of the PLR stuff have WAY TOO MUCH FLUFF. For example, if I have an internet marketing document, it’d start from 1980’s describing how internet came to be and how it all started. (now of course I am exaggerating but not by much).
3. Turn a 100 page document into 30–40 page Report. Make it Succinct, Short, To the point. You get my point right?
Total Time Spent So Far – 30 minutes From My Experience (It helps if you know the topic).
4. Write a New sales letter (You don’t need a 20 page monster letter for this). A single page or two will do wonder for you.
5. No need for graphics, Plain words will do wonders. (With new FTC regulations, you’ll be hard pressed to utilize more of the testimonials, but you can still do a damned good job).
6. Charge a fair price. (Now here’s the thing about reports, Depending on information, reports can get you good price. I have seen 10 page report being sold for $97. Though chances are very for PLR stuff to get that much but you get the idea.)
Total Time Spent So Far – 1 hr, 15 minutes at max (30 – 45 minutes on the sales letter etc).
7. Get Traffic, Build a List. This I’ll talk about later (otherwise just do a search on my blog or check the category “Increase Web Site Traffic”
Rest of time – SPEND IT ON BRINGING TRAFFIC.
Now, I know from experience first 3 steps don’t take more than half an hour to do it right. And I”d spend most of my time getting traffic to that page. If you create 8–10 of these reports and bring enough traffic, You’d be able to sell few reports per day.
For example – $10 per report and 4–5 sales per day is going bring you a neat $1500 a month. It completely depends on how hard you promote them. I’ll be talking about getting traffic in my next post.
