By Jeff Herring

Article marketing has recession-proofed my online businesses. I know that is a big claim, and lots of people are talking about how to recession-proof your business right now.

Read on to discover how to really do it with Article Marketing and the article-a-day strategy. Here are 7 ways an article-a-day can recession-proof your business:

1. Extend your reach – I like to call my articles my “international evergreen article agents.”

My articles allow me to reach all over the world into many markets that I could not have reached in any other way. And they are evergreen, which means they are out there forever, delivering good information with links back to my websites and blogs.

For example, just one of my articles published online in August of 2005 still receives an average of [Read more…]

The Magic Formula was first developed by Dale Carnegie and in three simple steps it’s everything you need to know to become an incredibly poised, polished and masterful communicator – online or offline!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve read How To Win Friends And Influence People or if you want to become a professional speaker. Carnegie’s Magic Formula is time-tested to hold any audience’s attention from the first time you utilize it.

The formula is practical communication tool that ensures immediate action taken by your listeners/readers. Make it your secret to begin to dramatically improve the pulling-power of your websites, teleseminars and online videos.

3 Tested Tips That Expand Your “Article Reach”

By Jeff Herring

So what does it mean to extend the reach of your articles?

Extending the reach of your articles simply means to get your articles in front of as many eyes as possible … in as many consumable forms as possible.

Let’s take a closer look at three powerful strategies for doing just that:

1. EzineArticles + Twitter = More Exposure – If you are an info marketer who wants to extend the reach of your articles, then set-up your EzineArticles account to automatically post your approved and published articles to your Twitter profile.

You set this up by going into your Author’s Area at EzineArticles, then your Profile Manger, and then Edit Your Author Bio. In the fields provided enter your Twitter user name and pass word.

Now each time one of your new articles is approved and published at EzineArticles, an announcement will automatically be posted to your Twitter profile. In this way you are [Read more…]

The “Decoy” Pricing Model

By Alex Mandossian

According to Wikipedia, the “decoy effect” (also known as the “asymmetric dominance effect”) is the phenomenon whereby consumers change their preference between two options when also presented with a third option that is asymmetrically dominated.”

In plainer language, here’s the way decoys are utilized daily during consumer experiences.

Scenario 1: You order a medium-size Pepsi at the movies for $2.75 and the person behind the counter asks, “Would you like a large for just 25 cents more?” You say, “Yes”… that’s the decoy effect.

Scenario 2: You’re sitting at the bar in an airport terminal waiting for your plane to board. As soon as you order your $7 cocktail, the bartender smiles and says, “Want a double-shot for just $2 more?” You say, “Yes”… that’s the decoy effect.

I have no idea what your consumer response would be in similar circumstances, but I do know from my own experience [Read more…]

“What are we ‘Split Testing’ today?”

By Alex Mandossian

I ask myself that 6-word question at the beginning of each day … and I’ve asked it repeatedly ever since December, 2004.

And one of the things I’m certain of is that this world-class question – more than any other question I ask daily – has unlocked the door to the secret passageway to accelerated growth, wealth and success.

I encourage YOU to ask yourself (and YOUR Team): “What are we Split Testing today?” at the beginning of each day and then sit back, relax and watch what happens for the rest of your day ;-)

Magically, this powerful “marketing declaration” almost instantly puts you (and your Team members) into a more Socratic and more “market-centered” Mindset.

This is one of those world-class questions that puts you in the marketer’s “driver seat” to capture more profits, faster, better and easier … without the burden of truth needing to rest on YOUR marketing shoulders any longer.

In my own business, this world-class question has assisted me to achieve more accelerated growth month after month, without the typical stress and worry that accompanies marketing guesswork.

That’s why I want you to take a moment – right now – and review the 14 single-variable split tests [Read more…]
