Mass Traffic Attack - Part 31. Conclusion


Conclusion 
That concludes this ebook and the MASS TRAFFIC ATTACK method. Don't be fooled by its simplicity, it is an extremely powerful system. Yes, a lot of it is common sense but as the saying goes the thing about common sense is that it's not so common. 
This system really is ideal for both marketers who are yet to start their first venture, or those with a little more experience. Article marketing is the key to getting masses of free targeted traffic. 
Read this book from beginning to end a couple of times.. After that it's down to you. I have provided you with a traffic system that works, time and time again. It is the very same system I have used, and will continue to use myself. It works! 
Now it's time to make it work for you! To your success

Mass Traffic Attack - Part 29. Where to find your Article Writers


Where to find your Article Writers 
There are 3 web sites that stand head and shoulders above all the others. They are 
www.elance.com 
www.rentacoder.com 
www.guru.com 
All 3 of these sites have been around a long time, thus are well-established. They are used by the most respected internet marketers and, more importantly the most reliable writers, programmers, graphic designers, etc. 
Elance is more of a general site for all sorts of tasks; Rentacoder started off as a way of bringing software writers and developers together, but today you will also find people there willing and able to write your eBook or sales letter for you. Guru is pretty similar to Elance in that you can find almost every kind of professional expertise on there, they have over
160 different categories. 
Let's have a closer look at Elance. It works in a similar manner to the well-known auction site eBay. It caters for simple projects such as having a few articles written for a few
dollars, right through to complex projects requiring several months and costing hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. 
You have the option of 'posting' your project, outlining what it is you want, together with both your deadline and budget. 
When you check back a couple of days later you should find several 'bidders' who are ready to complete the task for you. At this point it is just a question of choosing which one of the 'bidders' you want to go for. Just as you would check a seller's feedback on eBay, you can check a 'customer rating' for that particular person's previous jobs and make an informed judgment. 
Let's say you have 2 people quoting the same price for your article writing job, both can complete within your deadline, the first one has done 3 previous article jobs similar to yours. The second writer has over 200 such article jobs to his name. Naturally in that case common sense obviously says you should go with the more experienced writer. 
What you will find is that the most reputable workers will be only too keen to point you in the direction of their portfolio of previous work, together with testimonials from happy customers, usually on a web site. 
A word of warning though, don't be tempted to always go for the cheapest quote. The
article writer who is 25% cheaper than all the others may be cheaper for a very good
reason. Check his experience, check his feedback and check his portfolio. Feel free to send a message within Elance if you have any questions or concerns. 
This is also a good opportunity to check their English communication skills. If you feel uneasy about dealing with this person, then find someone else; there is no shortage of reputable writers on Elance. The best advice I can give is - go with the more experienced person, even if it costs a few dollars more. Those extra few dollars are worth the peace of mind knowing that your job is being done thoroughly and professionally. This is especially true for your first few jobs via Elance. 
Rentacoder and Guru work in very much the same way; again you can either invite offers for bids on your project and decide on a service provider, or you can search through the different categories to find a specialist to undertake your task. Both sites are well respected from both sides; the internet marketing community and the developers/writers community. It is a tried and tested system that is now a firmly established vehicle to outsourcing. 
Another place you may want to try out is the Digital Point Forum, link is here: 
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ 
If you look in the “Copywriting” section you will always find a large selection of article writers offering their service. It's not as a formal as the other 3 sites, but you may prefer that format when starting out. 
So, that's a pretty comprehensive introduction to the world of outsourcing your articles. However, let me repeat what I said at the start of this chapter - do write your own articles first before paying others to do so.

Article Directory Submitters 
If you are submitting your articles to just 1 or 2 directories, that doesn't take up too much time. You need to sign into your account, add your article title, main body and resource box. Two or three minutes of copy and pasting per site and you're done. However, suppose you want to submit 20 articles to 100 article directories. That would take you several hours. 
This is where software such as directory submitters can come in very handy. You create an account with various directories, set up your user name and password and copy that into your software. You need only do this once. Then you copy and paste your articles into the software and hit submit. 

The directory submitter will then go through your list of directories submitting each article in turn. It's not quite 100% automated in that you will have to click to confirm your
submission on some sites, but it is a massive time save. Very highly recommended if you're going to be submitting a lot of articles to a lot of directories.

Combining and Rewriting Content 
There are of course several sources you can use for finding content. Personally most of the time I don't need to look much further than Ezine Articles. You will find literally millions
of articles written about tens of thousands of topics. So make that your first port of call.
Let's go through a quick example so that you get the idea. Keeping with the “rabbit
training” theme, if we go to Ezine Articles and type that in we get over 1,100 results as we saw earlier in the book. 

I won't put up another screenshot here but I'll just list a few of the article titles that come up: 

  • Calling your rabbit to come on command
  • How to train a rabbit to use a litter box
  • How to litter train your pet rabbit
  • 9 proven training rabbits tips (this title isn't a typo, that's exactly what it says - despite the 
    poor use of grammar it comes up as number 4 in the search results) 
  • Training techniques to use now
  • Taming the aggressive rabbit
  • Teach your rabbit its name
  • Rabbit chewing problems and solutions
  • How to solve rabbit urine problems
  • A harness for your rabbit
  • Introducing rabbits to dogs
  • Rabbit litter training 
    and so on, that's just the first 12 results. 
    Immediately we can see patterns there and get some great ideas of our own. In fact doing this is a great way of “brainstorming” when you run on low on ideas. 
  • Let me give you just one example for a great article idea. You'll notice that there are 3 different articles about litter training. So that would be perfect for taking different ideas from all 3 and combining them into just one article. In fact what I would do is create a list type article. 
  • Assuming there are 3 different tips in each article, combine them all into one. Call it something like “9 things you never knew about rabbit litter training”, write a couple of paragraphs as an introduction, put the 9 different tips into a bulleted list and then expand on them a little. Of course you could also do the reverse. Find 2 or 3 list type articles for your subject and change the format to a standard “text only” type article.

Chapter 11 - Your Secret Weapon - How To Rewrite Articles 
There will be occasions when you don't have the time or inclination to write several articles about a particular subject. You may have several sites that you want to promote and whilst you're comfortable with writing a few articles, you don't have the time to write several hundred. Researching for a single article doesn't take that much time but, let's be honest trawling through several hundred web sites to find material for several hundred articles is pretty time-consuming. 
So what can you do? 
One thing is to pay someone to write those articles for you. We'll be covering outsourcing in a couple of chapters time. However if you're looking for something in between writing everything yourself and paying someone to write everything for you, here are 3 options: 
1. Rewriting someone else's article/content
2. Combining content from several articles and rewriting that 3. Rewriting Private Label Rights (PLR) articles 

The first one I would completely reject; I just included it for reference because I have seen some so-called marketing experts recommend this method. If you are rewriting a single article, unless you are very good, you run the very real risk of being accused of plagiarism at best, and breach of copyright at worst. 
The other reason is that it is actually not that easy to rewrite a single article; far easier to take material from several sources and combine that into one, new, unique article. So we'll disregard that method and just focus on the other two.

Mass Traffic Attack - Part 25. Combining and Rewriting Your Content


Chapter 10 - What To Write When You Know Nothing About The Subject 
It's OK writing articles when you know something about the subject in hand. The words will flow fairly easily and your knowledge will stand out. 
But what happens if you want to promote a particular product and you feel you don't know enough about it to write a series of articles? Well that's where the “5 Paragraph Plan” from earlier in the ebook comes in: 
  • Paragraph 1 - Introduction (tell them what you are going to tell them)
  • Paragraph 2 - Point A
  • Paragraph 3 - Point B
  • Paragraph 4 - Point C
  • Paragraph 5 - Summary (tell them what you have just told them)
Rather than talking about theory, let's look at a real life example of an article I wrote some time ago. It's about Plendil, a pill for reducing high blood pressure, a subject I know almost nothing about. 
Plendil - What You Need To Know 
If you’re suffering from high blood pressure problems, there is a good likelihood that at some point your doctor will prescribe the drug Plendil. There would seem to be many success stories about its effectiveness, which is all fine and good but is it actually going to work for you? No doubt this is something you have been asking yourself so let’s examine the evidence and find out a little bit more about this medication before we take the plunge. 
Some facts about Plendil 
First of all you will often find it referred to by its generic name, Felodipine. Plendil is manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Astra Merck and is used as a treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). This drug is part of a group of drugs commonly referred to as calcium channel blockers that go to work by relaxing the body’s blood vessels. It is usually prescribed in 3 different sizes of tablet - 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg. The recommendation is that it is not kept refrigerated, just in an airtight container where damp and excess heat cannot get to it. 
Is it safe for me to take this with other drugs? 
Always seek your doctor’s approval before mixing Plendil with other medications. Never take this drug together with beta blockers for the very simple reason that this combination can actually reduce your blood pressure by a dangerous amount, and you will then find yourself with too low a blood pressure reading. Avoid taking Plendil together with either Digoxin or Cimetidine; such a blend can cause what would have been potentially minor side effects to become much worse. 
How should I take Plendil? 
The important thing to remember with this drug is that because every patient reacts in a different way it is difficult to give anything more than general advice. Discuss everything with your doctor, and take the treatment in accordance with their instructions. However on a non-specific level, the following is good advice. Do not take it together with grapefruit juice, neither crush nor chew the 
tablets because this will reduce their effectiveness. There is no restriction as to when you can take it, some medications require you to only take your dose on a full stomach - with Plendil it doesn’t matter. 
Summary 
In conclusion there is no doubt that Plendil has a good reputation in fighting high blood pressure. It is easy to take - the fact that you can take it either with or without food means that the impact on your current lifestyle will be minimal. Naturally the usual safety warnings apply, as is the case with all prescription drugs. All in all though, if you are looking for an effective solution to high blood 
pressure problems there is sufficient evidence showing that Plendil will fit the bill.

He runs a successful website dedicated to exposing the truth about various drugs being used to fight blood pressure problems.

That is a review article about the drug Plendil. It is aimed at those people suffering from high blood pressure and who have heard about Plendil and are looking for more information. Notice that there is some very specific information contained in there. I got ALL of that from the manufacturer's web site. 
Remember that I mentioned to aim for 4 sentences per paragraph? The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted that the first paragraph contains only 3 sentences, whilst others actually contain 5. It's not a hard and fast rule, merely a target. Sometimes you can't find enough to write to put in that extra sentence, other times 4 sentences aren't quite enough to make the article flow properly. 
Notice I've also used titles for each paragraph. That is something you may want to try. I
don't always do that but in many cases I have found it just makes your article more reader friendly. It also has the bonus of dividing up your article into different sections. 
There were 3 things I wanted to do with this article: 
1. Give some general “technical information”
2. Answer the question - “can this drug be taken with other prescription pills?” 3. Answer the question - “how should this drug be taken?” 
Let's look at it more closely.
First Paragraph - introduction and telling the reader what you are going to tell them. 
Introduce the problem (if you're suffering from high blood pressure............... ) 
Second Paragraph - Point A, give “technical information”. Doing this adds credibility to an article and makes it look as though you know the subject. That's why I included it. All that information was taken direct from the manufacturer's site and rewritten, so I know it is
accurate. Because I am NOT an expert on the subject I didn't expand on those technical 
details. If however, the technical specifications of a product DO mean something to you then by all means expand on them, indeed make a whole article out of them. 
A good example may be if you're writing about a new mobile phone such as the iPhone 6 in a 
couple of years time :-). If you understand what a particular technical specification means, or why it is an advantage compared to other phones, then go ahead and write more about it. 
Third Paragraph - Point B. Here I write about whether Plendil can be taken together with other medication. I got all the information from the manufacturer's site. 
Fourth Paragraph - Point C. Again, with information found on the manufacturer's site I wrote about how best to take this medication and simply expanded that to cover 4 sentences. Not difficult this is it?! 
Conclusion - basically a quick summary of the 3 previous paragraphs with a recommendation to buy if the reader fits the criteria 
That's a formula that works pretty well if you're struggling to write something. Do a quick search on the subject you're writing about, find 3 points you can make, expand on them, and it won't take you much longer than 20 minutes to write a quality 400-500 word article. 
Another style that works pretty well is the “style”, i.e. “12 reasons why you must do....... ”. If you're doing that I would write a couple of introductory paragraphs, add my list in bullet form, and have a couple of summary paragraphs. Spend a bit of time browsing articles on Ezine Articles and you'll see what I mean. 
Finally, let's take a quick look at the Resource Box I used. Rather than scrolling back a few pages I'll just copy it here: 
About the Author

He runs a successful website dedicated to exposing the truth about various drugs being used to fight blood pressure problems.

Far better than “click here for more information”, don't you think? You're probably
wondering how to create the anchor text for the Plendil link above. That's easy, all you
need do is insert some HTML code, change the relevant part, and copy and paste it into the Resource Box section when you submit your articles. 
Here's the code: 
<a href=“http://www.yoursite.com”>Anchor Text goes here</a> 
There are 2 things you need to change. First of all enter your web site address between the
2 quotation marks, but DON'T delete the quotation marks themselves. The second thing is to replace the text above -
Anchor Text goes here - with your own anchor text. This part
doesn't require quotation marks. 
So that's a real live example of an article written from scratch; I knew absolutely nothing about the subject before I started. Take a look at the main web site, look at other articles on the subject, select a few points you would like to write about. That's all there is to it!
