Get Hundreds of Shares Every Time You Write an Article Without Doing Any Work

A friend introduced me to TribePro awhile back. I have three blogs and I write on HubPages as well. I love to write, and needless to say, article marketing is one of my favorite tools in my arsenal of marketing weapons, but I was not ready for the impact TribePro would have on my articles.

Article marketing is a very effective marketing tool and if you’re not using it, you should really take a serious look at getting a blog or website started.

You need to brand “you”, and having a blog that describes who you are and what you like and what you do and what you have to say about different things, is going to be a big sign that advertizes you.

There is an array of article marketing tools out there, and I do have a couple of them that I have used in the past. Some work good and some not so good, but one thing is common for all of them, they take a lot of your time and a lot of your work and energy to get your stuff out in front of everyone.

Writing an article and getting the right headline and keywords all in place, takes time, but than you need to get your article out to the thousands of directories and in front of your target niche.

Learning how to generate the back links and doing the SEO to get your article ranked on the first page of Google was a lot of work and a skill that required lots of practice, but I have found a new way to do all that. It’s called TribePro.

TribePro is an incredible program that utilizes the buddy system. I used to get a couple of blog buddies and they would comment on my articles and I would do the same for them. That worked good but you had to have a lot of buddies to be able to do that effectively, and it’s very hard to get people to consistently share your posts with others. Not with TribePro.

Once you set up your account on TribePro, you want to connect with other tribe members. The more you have the better this will work. It does take a while to set everything up and to make connections with others, but believe me, it’s well worth it.

Now you write an article, and it is automatically sent to TribePro. All your friends are now sending your posts to all their Twitter, Face Book, Digg, and other social network accounts, and your post is getting in front of hundreds of people. Even comments can be set up as well.

I had a blog that was sitting dormant for a bout a year. It wasn’t even a blip on the search engines radar. The Alexa ranking was 1.8 million. It was no where to be found.

I dusted it off, and got it back up and running. I started posting articles once again and within four weeks my posts are getting on the first page of Google for my keywords, and the Alexa ranking is 428,365. Check it out, Health Hope and Happiness.com.

That’s the difference the the Tribe can make for your articles and your blog or website.

So here’s the deal – if you join TribePro through THIS LINK, upgrade to the top package, and then syndicate me – I’ll syndicate you back automatically, and share all of your stuff with my whole social network.

Sound too good to be true?  Honestly, it is – that easy, it’s like cheating the system to get instant, free traffic on demand, with no work or skill involved, and watch your rankings and traffic go through the roof.

There are easy to follow training videos that will walk you through the set up and they do weekly webinars also with new stuff that they’re working on.

After you’re set up, login, and auto-syndicate me.  Here’s how you do that:

1.)  Click on ‘Members’

2.)  Search for ‘Brian Gosur’

3.)  Click ‘follow’

4.)  Search for ‘Brian Gosur’ (again)

5.)  Click ‘auto-syndicate’

That’s it, you’re done. The next time I login, I’ll auto-syndicate you back and share all of your stuff, giving you instant, free traffic whenever you post.

Just look for the people that are the most active and repeat the steps above, send them a message, let them know you’re auto syndicated them, and ask them to do the same for you. They will reciprocate.

You’re going to see a virtual increase in leads and traffic almost instantly.

This is the best tool for article marketing I have ever seen. I guarantee you will see results.

8 Ways To Get People To Read Your Blog

You put a lot into your writing. You go through the process, put it all together and click the publish button….and nobody reads it. Weeks go by and not one hit. What did you do wrong?

Almost 80% of all the people that surf the net are scanners. You have about 5 seconds to capture their attention. If you don’t they are off to the next site.

Let me give 8 quick steps to check before you quit writing all together.

1. The Scanner

A study showed that almost 80% of all Internet users scan rather than read. Think about how many times you’ve been surfing the web for information, you find a site, scan it quickly to see if they have what you’re looking for, and if they don’t you move on.

How can you catch the scanner, make him lean into your content, engage him so that he will stay and read your information?

2. Just The Facts Mam

If you have a complex topic to cover, and are long winded, like me, consider writing a series of posts. This will keep your reader coming back to get more and they won’t have a ton of content to digest.

State your conclusion first and support it with the sentences that follow. This helps scanners to move from point to point, and decide where they’d like to dive in deeper.

3. Break It Up

There is nothing more hard to face then when you finally find the information you want, but as you approach it you see this very small tiny print. Like reading, “War and Peace”. You just find it’s not that important, and move on.

Everything becomes more readable when you can see a lot of white space. Feature one idea per paragraph, and keep them short — three or four sentences at most, and even write some one sentence paragraphs.

You can also break up your content with subheadings. Subheadings are a powerful resource to keep the reader engaged and flowing through the rest of your content. Make your subheadings clear and to the point with no BS.

Subheadings are very important when dealing with scanners. They will often just go to the subheads and read only the ones that they want, so make them compelling and to the point.

4.  Use Bullets

Bullet lists, not bullets for your gun. Scanners love bullet lists because they are an easy way to scan multiple points. They look different from the rest of your text, so they provide a visual break for your reader.

5. Use Image Captions

I always like to look at the pictures first. I guess that’s why lots of people love to read the comic section of the newspaper.

Studies have shown that deep image captions are the biggest read of any article. These should be two to three sentences long and they have the ability to capture the reader into digging deeper into the article.

6. Add Relevant Links

Adding internal links, that keep the reader on your site and reading your best material, are very important, but also external links that show the reader, you’ve done your research, and expand his knowledge of the topic to other experts.

7. Highlight The Important Stuff

Use bold print to highlight relevant and important things that you want to bring to your readers attention. These are very easy for the scanner to see as he scans your content. On the other hand, this can work against you if you highlight every single little insignificant piece of information.

Have you ever seen those articles that have everything highlighted with bold print. You don’t know what to read first.

8. The Numbers Work

For some reason, numbered lists work very effectively. Look how many articles have in their titles, “3 ways to do this”, “10 simple steps to take”. You’re reading one right now. Numbers are an incredibly effective way to both capture attention and to keep the reader oriented.

Don’t quit writing, just try to implement these 8 ways to get people to read your blog. Trust me, they really work.

Happy writing.

Blogs and Blogging

Choosing the blogging software in which your blogs will run is extremely important. If you choose the wrong one you will be missing out on a great deal of useful features and it will be a nightmare to switch over to another once your blog is established. You basically have 3 options; Word Press, TypePad or Blogger.

Each platform offers two different options to use their software. You can host it on your own domain or you can get a free blog and they will host it. The quickest and easiest option is obviously to get a free blog that is hosted by them. However, if you want to start blogging the right way, I highly recommend that you host it on your own domain. Here are a few good reasons for that:

  1. 1. You have complete control over your blogs. No one can suspend your account etc. It’s your blog, you’re just using their software!
  2. 2. If you ever decide to sell your blogs, you’re out of luck if you’re not hosting it on your own domain … you don’t own it so you can’t sell it!
  3. 3. Are people really going to take you serious if you’re using  free blogging that you’re not even hosting yourself? You may lose credibility, as many people may think you’re not serious enough about your own blogging. Not to mention the advertizing that they can put on your blogs that you have no control over.
  4. 4. Free blogging platforms restrict you from accessing files like the .htaccess file, which is a very important file to control when your blog becomes popular!

If you’re going to make a serious effort at this, you should pay the eight to ten dollars each year for your own domain. It’s very important and if you don’t know how to do it there are people out there who can help you get everything set up.

All three platforms are very good, but one stands out WordPress . The reason WordPress is so incredibly popular and effective is because it allows you to easily install plugins. There are lots of plugins that will do just about anything you want and most of them are free.

I use WordPress on all my blogs. I think it is very easy to use, and I will be referring to WordPress in future posts.

When you set your blog up, use your own name, Brian Gosur, and a subtitle, Learning MLM Secrets, so that they know what your blog is about. You want to brand yourself and get people to know who you are.

Happy Blogging
