Fired to Free

One thing I’ve been doing a lot of lately is CPA marketing. This is a very lucrative market if you do it correctly. One thing that almost everyone will tell you that in order to earn any serious money from CPA networks you must spend money on PPC campaigns.

Well I did not believe that PPC was the only way to earn this cash, so I started working on my own methods. I finally cracked it and came up with Cash Per Article. Originally I considered selling these methods, but then decided against it.

I had been able to use this to replace the income from my day job which I was laid off from last spring and there may be others that may be in the same information with this turbulent economy.

So I decided to just give it away to my subscribers. If you want a copy just head on over to http://brucehopkins.net/cash-per-articles and complete the form. Once you do this I’ll send you my ebook Cash Per Article – From Fired to Free right way.

Improving your earnings with PLR content

Lots of people shy away from PLR content for their websites. While I do agree that PLR articles can cause you some issues, its also a great way to utilize your time most effectively. I very rarely use private label articles on this blog, but I do use it a lot on other sites with success. Where a lot of people fail with PLR content is they are lazy. PLR articles by their very nature can be rewritten. This is the step that most people fail to do. PLR is meant to be a helper for creating content, not to be an all out method of not writing.

At the minimum you need to rewrite at least 25% of the article and I would say this number should be closer to 50% in order for you to receive the best result. There are some methods you can use to rewrite an article in a minimum of time.

  1. Rewrite the title — This is crucial and probably the most important part of rewriting. Choose a title that contains your keywords, but don’t accept the title as it is in the PLR article.
  2. If the article does not have  a summary paragraph then write one from scratch. This does not need to be very long. Just summarize the article in three to four sentences. Read the article and make your summary consistent with the article. One thing to keep in mind is once you go through the rest of the article you may need to revisit this summary and modify it based on what is changed through the rest of the process. You can do this part later, but I find that writing my summary first helps me with the rest of the process.
  3. Once you understand the article, then start rewriting paragraphs one at a time. Rewriting may include removing redundant content or just rewording sentences. The way I do this is to look at the paragraph and totally rewrite it above or below the current paragraph. One I’m through I just delete the original paragraph and move on to each paragraph.
  4. Once the paragraphs are modified I will write a conclusion which is pretty much a repeat of the summary with minor changes.

If you have done these things then PLR content can be a great method for increasing the content you have available for earning revenue on your site in the shortest and most economical method. Most PLR packages can be bought for only a few dollars and if you hang out in Internet Marketing forums such as DigitalPoint or the Warriors then you can find a lot of package for free. Keep in mind that the free packages you may find may need a little more rewriting before you realize the true potential. Good luck with your PLR rewriting efforts.

 

Why Article Marketing Does Not Work Round Two

I wrote on my views about Article Marketing and why I don’t think it works the other day. Matt Ellesworth from ArticleSnatch.com made an interesting comment on that post which prompted me to make an update to my original post. Matt makes a good point about when it makes sense to do Article Marketing. If you have hundreds of articles on your hard drive with nothing else to do with them the perhaps it would make sense to just post these out on the Article sites in hope of building backlinks. So if you have hundreds of PLR articles on the same or similar topic for a site you wish to promote then you could put those out on the sites.
