Now if you have been into making money online for a while you probably already know the importance of researching and writing content to build you money making websites. Especially when you haven´t reached the point of being able to outsource this time consuming task, or simply because you don´t want to outsource your content, you obviously know just how much time you should be spending writing informative and quality content for your websites.

Content is the base of making money online. You need quality content to build your websites, you can use content to make money directly through revenue-sharing content pages like Squidoo, InfoBarrel, Hubpages or Associated Content and then there is the huge amount of content you need to article marketing in order to create backlinks to your sites and make sure you generate enough traffic to your site.

So how much time do you spend researching and writing content?

If it is anything like me, I can only imagine your desire to speed up the researching and writing process because to be honest, you are just human and hey, everybody needs a hand every now and then, right?!

You just get to the point where you find that just spinning articles doesn´t work the way you planned, unless you do it in a huge volume and at times your morals just jump in and you are tired of producing low quality sites and articles anyways. Or you just don´t reach your daily targets in order to produce the traffic you need to make sales or earn those clicks to create a decent income or beyond.

I myself have used different programs and types of software, lazy git that I am at times, but none of them really stood up to the test of time, or better said, they didn´t bring in the return on investment I was expecting, so I never felt the need to share any of them on this site.

However, I think I now have found a superb tool to research and write content, creating excellent articles within a matter of minutes… To be exact 15 minutes when I first started (from research to ending up with a new article) to well under 10 minutes per article (and I am talking about 800 words articles here, the shorter ones take even less!)

See, I don´t just create websites on topics that I know very well but whenever I find a keyword worth to persue I might end up writing on a topic I hadn´t even heard of before, so quite some time was going into researching the topic and coming up with good information. A lot of time spent before even actually starting to write the articles needed to set up a niche website and write even more articles for article marketing and link building efforts.

All in all it just became overwhelming and hey, did I already tell you I am a lazy git at times?

In comes the Instant Article Wizard and all of a sudden my life has changed. Really changed I mean, because I have been able to cut the niche topic research way down to almost nothing, but yet I can write and create many different articles to use for all sorts of money making ventures. And instead of spending my days researching and writing, I can actually focus a lot more time on the linkbuilding process in order to generate more organic targetted traffic from search engines.

So what does the Instant Article Wizard do?

Basically what it does is remove the whole content research on automization, so no more time spending doing research for the articles you want to write. You just put in the keywords you want to target and content is pulled in from all different sites availabe. Then you start picking out the sentences you find most appropriate for the article you have in mind, put them together and with a few clicks you put them in the right order, complete with intro, subsubjects and a neat conclusion and with another click you can immediately see your new article and it´s wordcount.

In order to make sure your copy of the article is 100% unique you give it a quick edit, making the sentences flow even better and you have a top notch article your english teacher would be proud of! Now, saying English here, but the Instant Article Wizard is actually able to not only create content in English, but also in German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian, so if you know any of these languages you will be well ahead of the game in creating website content ready to be read all over the world.

To me that was just icing on the cake, seeing I actually have quite a good knowledge of other languages but actually writing content in Spanish suitable to create money making websites was just too much of a drag, no more limits for me though!

Have a look at the video to see just how easy it is to use the IAW

Where to use the Instant Article Wizard content?

Just to give you an idea of the potential of this program, a basic 400 word article can be created in 8 minutes and under. So you could build a 5 post niche website in under an hour and even have some spare time to submit a few articles to ezinearticles to start promotion! Plus you could of course use your unique content for revenue sharing websites that actually pay you for publishing your content on their site, giving you a share in their adsense revenue, you could create content for others on a freelance base, or sell your article in PLR content packs on IM forums.

Those are just a few ideas out of the top of my head, but really, if you are able to create a lot of content on a daily base you can easily say your dayjob good bye in a matter of months or even weeks if you pull hard at it.
They say Content is King but with the Instant Article Wizard, content isn´t only king, Content is Cash!

With the Instant Article Wizard your days of crunching down on writing articles are over, as well are the days of spending big bucks on having others create content for you!

Have a look at the video to see just how easy it is to use the IAW and start creating cash pulling content!

I have recently been doing some testing with different companies that offer link building services in order to find the one that works best for me and in the process I have come across some companies that really suck.

Instead of offering what they claim on their selling pages, results that I got back after using their services were not worth the money spent to say the least.

I was already getting a little dis-hearted by the thought of having to keep doing all the work myself until I was pointed towards a company that was actually offering high quality link building services for a decent price.

After checking out their website and different packages they offer I decided to give it one more try and I have to say, I am really impressed by the results so far.

The 3 keywords I chose to promote through their services were focussing on a website I created to promote aloeride and not only are they now on the first page of google, they are actually ranking 1st, 2nd and 3rd! That to me was convincing enough to write this post about their services because I know there must be more webmasters around who could benefit of these services.

A small outline of what they offer:

• Manual Directory Submission to high PR directories, with 10 different titles and 10 different descriptions in order to make the submissions look as natural as possible, starting at only $15
• Article Writing Service combined with manual submission to high PR article sites for rates starting as low as $30
• Social Bookmarking Services with different tags and titles starting at only $35 for 125 high ranking bookmarking sites
• Search Engine submission to the most popular search engines, starting at only $29 and offering different packages that will ensure your site will be submitted over a longer period of time, all with detailed reports of submission
• Garantueed Google Indexing with a full refund if magic doesn´t happen
• Linkbaiting and blog review services to generate buzz
• Complete Linkbuilding packages where you get the best of all their offers combined to ensure fast and widespread exposure online

So as you can see they offer a wide variety of possibilities for every pocket but best of all, you actually do get what you pay for and that is high quality linkbuilding, a must for every webmaster these days who wants to be in the big league!

I can honestly say that I fully recommend their service so if you want to find out more please visit their website:

If you are reading this post chances are you are very interested in making money online. Chances also are that so far your results haven’t been all that great, since only a few percent of people who get started with online marketing will actually reach the point of being able to give up their day job and get a full salary from their online ventures.

Like I have said in other posts already, it is possible to make money online and receive a good income doing internet marketing speaking from personal experience, it might take a while to figure out just what you need to do. Once you have seen the light though, Internet marketing is probably the most full filling job out there, and the one single job that can make your wildest dreams come true.

There are many possibilities and affiliate programs you can join in order to build your online empire, but recently I have come across one program in particular that really helps their affiliates getting on the right track.

I was looking for a new product to start promoting along with the numerous websites I am already running, and at first did not really pay a lot of attention to all that this particular program was offering, I was just interested in the huge commission pay-outs this affiliate program is offering.

However, after signing up and getting to know the website, I can only say to be very impressed with all that they are doing in order to get their affiliates bringing in large pay cheques.

Which affiliate program to choose

Most affiliate programs have a huge number of products listed to promote and at most they offer a few banners to their affiliates to use in their promotional campaign. Now, once you learn how to promote and what to do, these programs can make you a lot of money, but what happens if you are just starting out?

Without knowing what you really need to do, you will probably end up throwing in the towel sooner or later; because of the lack of knowledge and support you need in order to become a success. Is that the type of affiliate program you need?

The affiliate program I want to focus on today is quite the contrary. They are going way beyond any other program I have know so far, with their efforts and guides to make money.

A short list of what they are offering their affiliates:

• A total of $45 in bonuses you can start building up once signed up for the program for free, including a welcome bonus, bonus for participating in their excellent forum, a bonus for setting up your links correctly and a bonus for starting to send traffic. These bonuses are designed to make you participate and keep you motivated while still working on your first sale to be made, which is the only condition to be able to cash in.

• More importantly, they offer excellent guides for beginners on how to get started, how to set up a website, how to promote, how to improve SEO, basically all you need to know to start making money in your first month of signing up with them.

• Apart from that, they give you the tools you need to make a website, free templates, free images and banners and a lot of articles you can use to create unique content and grow your website and link building efforts.

• A very active member forum where you can ask for advice and website reviews, including a ton of information and support in order to become a success.

• Videos which offer quality information on how to improve your website and get started earning money, plus if you need to, you can always contact the product owners who participate in the forum as well with your questions and needs.

• Very high commission pay-outs of up to 40% or $175 for different products, plus extra incentives like competition bonuses for your website.

The most impressive of this whole affiliate program is probably the energy everybody is putting in to really get those sales going, but I have to warn you, the only one accountable for your success is you, so you will need to put in the elbow grease, dedicate time to setting up websites and promotional strategies.

Since this is not a get rich quick scheme, don’t bother signing up for it if you aren’t serious about Internet marketing. You will need to understand that it involves work and time to build your business, but using the excellent guides and promotional material, the affiliate program team has taken out all the guess work and you can follow their steps which have already proven to be successful.

At present you can promote health products, men’s health, casino sites and business-to-business products, but the team is working hard on adding more products to promote in the near future

Going back to the initial title of this post, if you sign up for this program I will personally be available to offer my help and advice and you can always contact me if there are things you are having a problem with, because if you sign up with me, I really want you to succeed and get those sales going.

If you have been struggling to make money online so far, you have come to the right place. Easy Money Zine has been set up with one goal in mind, helping others to make the money online like I have been doing for years.

This blog will teach you to set up an online business with a good foundation which will make you money over and over again, but you will need to be prepared to work for it.

You might have seen many ads already from companies that claim they offer the answer to your money problems, saying that they will make you money fast but when you have fallen for their claims and already dream of your new car and big mansion, all you end up with is making them richer and yourself poorer.

You probably have bought several e-books and found all they are about is making the writer richer and you don’t even get to finish reading them, again, spending your money when most information is readily available for free.

There are a few different ways to make money online, but this blog concentrates mainly on affiliate marketing without having to spend a lot of money to set it up. You will have to be prepared though to put in your time and effort to set up websites or blogs, write content and promote your site.

Playtime is over, you will need to be serious enough to work with focus and concentrate on what really matters, creating unique content and spend most of your time creating organic traffic through search engines.

If you really are serious about your online ventures, you must be willing to set up your strategy.

Many people starting in affiliate marketing get completely overwhelmed with all the information offered online and because they have been reading a lot of different things, they become paralyzed, wanting to do things 100% perfect. What happens though is that they end up discouraged, thinking they will never make it, without giving themselves a real chance of setting up a solid business.

So, you need a strategy and work with that for the first few months, without thinking too much about the details, the most important thing is to take action. There is always plenty of time to tweak and adapt, but you will have to get started today.

Pick your preferred stream of income

Set up a website with your preferred stream of income

Create (unique) content

Start promoting your website

Picking your preferred stream of income

The two main income sources online are using adsense or promoting affiliate products. It is really important to choose between either making money using adsense or promoting affiliate products, although many people new to making money online think it is just a matter of slapping different ads and products on their website and just sit back and wait for the money to roll in.

This obviously won’t work, you will have to focus and pre-sell in order for your visitors to either click on your ads or warm them up for your affiliate product before sending them off to the product website you are promoting.

Set up a website

Once you have chosen your income stream, it is important to set up a website or blog focussing on a specific product. Instead of trying to sell something on your own website, you must try to warm up your visitors, offering good information, reviews and personal testimonials, making them understand why it is that they should buy the product you are promoting, and offer them links to the official affiliate product website, already in a positive frame of mind.

Create Unique Content

Creating unique content is really important in order to get your site indexed by the bigger search engines. 20 pages really is the minimum you should set up before starting to promote your website, and once you have started your promotion strategies, you should think of adding more pages on a continuous base, search engines love fresh content and it will help you to get listed higher for more keywords.

Start promoting your website

Now this last step is probably the one where most people fail. After having set up your website, no matter how beautiful and informative, you will need to focus on getting organic traffic through search engines. Forget about buying “unique traffic packages”, these prove to be useless hits to your website so you are only throwing away your money without results.

Your main focus to get organic traffic should be:

• Directory submission: You should set a goal of submitting your site daily to 5-10 directories.
• Article submission: You should set a goal of submitting a new article to article directories daily.
• Link exchange: Try to achieve one link exchange weekly with a related website
• Social Bookmarking: Using social bookmarking sites are great to get your site indexed fas

I can’t stress the importance of creating organic traffic enough, building links should be your number one priority once you have your website set up, and there are many ways to make your link building strategy easier.

It was only after I fully understood the importance of building links on a daily base, that I started seeing my affiliate pay-checks coming in, but it is probably the most boring part any affiliate marketer has to deal with.

As a result of my struggles to continuously build links, I started checking out different pieces of software and services in order to speed up this process without setting off red flags with the search engines and after trial and testing I am now sticking to 4 different ways to building links daily:

1. Directory submission
2. Article submission
3. Social bookmarking
4. Blog commenting

If you are serious about your online business but are on a stretched budget, I would advice you to at least check out some of this software and buy it as soon as you can since it will help immensely to build your business.

One of the most powerful ways of promoting your site is article distribution. The most popular type of articles is the informative article. People are always looking to learn, finding interesting articles to read and grow in their knowledge, so that is certainly a type of article you should look into writing. Another type of article is of course the product review.

More and more people use Internet to get information about products they think about buying and before they do so, they are looking for reviews to make a better informed decision.

Apart from writing articles to become content on your website, you should also start thinking about submitting them to article directories, thus establishing yourself as an expert in your field, sending direct traffic to your site, but more importantly, create a huge amount of back links leading to your website.

Submitting your freshly written article to different directories can be done manually, but this is quite a tedious process, locating all different libraries and directories online, than having to go to each separate site and submit your article.

Now, I know that is the free way, but man, it is very time consuming!

In order to speed up the whole process there are a few things you can do.

There is of course the possibility of using software, however this can be a little limited, especially if it means that you would still have to go to every directory to submit your article.

I have tried a few different programs for this, but in the end they did not really do what I was looking for, so I kept looking for another solution to speed up this tedious process and get the most profit out of the time I was dedicating to article submission.

First, before submitting articles, make sure you have all information handy and write a good bio box with up to 3 links going straight to your site.

Then use an online article submission service, like for example Article Marketer. I started using their free service that submits articles to some 30 directories automatically, to check out how it is working for me, and soon decided to sign up for their paid version, after doing the math.

The paid version will actually create around at least 100 links per article you submit within a few weeks, but that number can go way up to thousands of links, since your article will be signed up at hundreds of directories. Now, you must be aware that not all directories will accept your article, that part depends on the actual quality of your article.

I consider article submission to be the secret behind marketing success many people are looking for. So, you might ask, why is it so important to use article submission?
1. It will establish you as an expert in your field, which in turn will gain the trust and credibility you need to reach more sales.
2. It will create back links, and lots of them, which will increase your page rank with google and therefore give you a better position in it’s search engine
3. It will bring people to your website through the links

As you see, there is no way around doing the work if you really want to make money online, you will have to produce articles with an ongoing rhythm.

You can write them yourself or use articles somebody else has written for you, the choice is of course up to you, but realize that time is money and you better make the best use of your time.

I decided to go the road of PLR articles and combine it with a good affiliate company like Moreniche. Moreniche offers free content for you to use and promote their products, so they take away the time-consuming part of researching and writing articles, all you need to do is re-write them and spin them to personal taste and you are off!

Cool thing is of course their free added service and their $45 sign up bonus, offering all the tools you need to become a successful marketer, and help you improve your business.

Are you spending hours submitting your website to directories? Or maybe I should better ask, have you ever submitted your website to directories at all?

If you are serious about making a success of your website, you should probably spend around 10% creating new content, up to 10% replying to emails etc and at least 80% building links and generating traffic.

Now, most people have no problems at all with the first 2 big tasks I mentioned, but they will kind of “forget” about the most important thing that will be the difference between success and failure.

Link building …. I can’t seem to say it enough, because it has taken me too long to understand just how important this step is.

If your website does not attract organic traffic through search engines, you might make a few bucks but you will never make it into the bigger league unless you spend a fortune on ad words or other forms of paid advertisement.

The higher the link popularity of your website, the higher your Google PR will be and the better you will be positioned in search engines.

The higher you are positioned, the more people will actually visit your website and the more possibility you will have to make sales.

Now, back to the initial question… are you still submitting to directories manually, locating them and then filling out the submission form over and over again?

I used to up to a few months ago when I finally switched over to software designed to take a lot of tedious tasks of my hands and I have to say, If I had known back when I first started working online about the ease of use and hours I save using this software, it would have been on my list of first and most important things to buy for my business.

I thought I could beat the odds with a lot of hard work and dedication, never giving up because I just knew I could do it. I even thought these software promotions were just another trick to get their hands on my money, but boy, was I wrong!

I got a piece of software to start submitting my website to directories and started noticing an increase in popularity on of the websites I have used the software for.

I looked at a few different versions, since there are many out there, trying the free demo first to see if I could work out how they were running, and I am so glad that I took this step.

Gone are the days of going to each directory, filling in the complete forms and submitting to each and every on, getting bored out of my head and giving up.

Now, I won’t fool you, you will have to do some work, you will have to actually use the software for it to bring you results, but you can speed up this whole tedious process at least 100 times if not more.

The directory submission software that I use will give you access to over 2700 directories, at least 50% with a page rank between PR4 and PR7 without having to give reciprocal links.

So in fact you are getting hundreds and hundreds of high PR one-way links without spilling any link juice from your site.

Plus, you can submit all the sites you are running using different profiles, so you can schedule your directory submitting time. And another plus with the software I am using is that you will get a lifetime of free updates, being able to update your own database of directories with just a click of the button so in the future you will not run out of directories to submit to.

I had to adapt the way I was working in order to build a real business, so I have set a daily schedule of websites to submit, building the links to all different websites gradually and naturally so search engines won’t kick my out of the system for receiving too many links in a too short of time.

The best thing though is that I have cut down the time I was wasting, getting better results and return on the time spent.

Remember, the key to online success is the ability to dedicate your time to the right tasks, without wasting your time on things that won’t give any return.

Continuously Creating Content plus Keeping up with Building Links is the Secret!

I love affiliate marketing ever since I first started learning about it years ago, but I must admit it has been a hard learning curve to get where I am at today. After having bought many e-books thinking that was the way to learn how to become a successful affiliate marketer, I was very close to giving up.

You could very well say I was on complete information overload and as a result I started to become paralyzed, thinking there was a secret nobody really wanted to share, and that maybe this business was not right for me.

However, I hung in there, I kept trying different methods and things slowly started to pick up, but still the return I got for the time I was putting in was well below the minimum hourly wage.

I decided I had to take a closer look at what I was really spending my time on, and what things I should dedicate to more, cutting out on time wasting programs and tasks I was doing everyday.

I finally grew wise and started to treat my job as a real business.

Instead of dedicating a lot of hours to submitting manually to different directories to get my website out there online, I decided I had to automate several tasks so I could start working faster. Because sincerely, spending a whole day submitting to directories manually really is not the most things to do, and many people soon give up, getting completely bored when they don’t see fast results.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons so many people fail in affiliate marketing and give up without even giving themselves a real shot at the bigger money, without even realizing it!

You have to automate as many daily task possible so you can work faster and more dedicated, getting more links to your site and more authority in the search engines. I am referring here especially to directory submission and article directory submission.

Did you know there is software available that will let you submit to hundreds if not thousands of directories without having to fill in all the details of your website over and over again?

I will tell you more about the software I am now using in a future post, because I want to stress another mistake many people make when trying to make a buck online.

Not treating this as a business creates another mistake many make when first coming to affiliate marketing, which is not having their own websites. Nowadays getting your own website is fairly cheap and you should look at it as the foundation of your business. Owning your own domain has many advantages over free websites, since you will always have all control plus you can eventually sell your domain if you choose not to renew it anymore.

Investing in domains and websites, amplifying your portfolio is never money thrown away. Even if you hardly do anything with your domain, when it starts aging, its value go up because search engines prefer aged domains to new ones. Think about that!

And then the third biggest mistake too many affiliates make is that they try cold selling without preparing their visitor. When I say preparing, I mean to say that many try themselves selling the product they are marketing so when they do achieve sending their hard earned traffic off to the final product page, the visitor will feel like something is being sold again to them and will run away instead of actually going through with the sale.

If you want to become a success, treat your work as a real Business!

I have been looking into the use of PLR articles (private label right) for quite some time now, because creating content is a very time consuming task. Not just time consuming, but I have to admit that at times it is just darn hard to come up with another 5, 10 articles during the span of a working day.

So a few weeks ago I decided I should have a closer look at some paid services, either to outsource completely or find a company that provided high quality articles I could use on a steady base.

Most services I have found did not really meet my standards, since I am not after crappy badly written articles used by thousands and thousands of people already.

In the end I decided to check out PLR Pro because I had seen them mentioned a few times already by some colleagues of mine as being the number 1 resource they were using to great success and contentment.

Well, I can tell you this, they hadn’t said one word too much and pretty soon I was very impressed with all the extra free services they offer their clients, apart from the monthly PLR content.

Something many starting article marketers seem to struggle with is getting into a set working schedule and stick with what they need to do, yet instead they drift off doing tasks that offer no return in relation to the time they put into their efforts.

PLR Pro however offers a set blueprint, a working schedule you can easily stick to and that will inspire you to become better in article marketing. They offer a lot of additional education and material so I decided to share what their basic membership contains:

440 articles across 11 niches (40 articles in each niche)
Full keyword research in each niche
Affiliate lists for each niche
Header Graphics for each niche
5 Website Templates each month
Articles done in 8 languages
50 PR4 sites that you can get links from to get your sites indexed and crawled
Site Builder
Automatic Wordpress Installer
Automatic Wordpress Uploader
VRE Handbook
SEO Training
PPC Training
Forum Support

As you can see, they offer a complete package for any person who has been struggling so far, and all you need to do is sticking to their outlined program, in order to set up your online business network.

Their monthly membership of $97 might sound a bit hefty to begin with, but you can get a free 14-day trial to see if you are as impressed as I am with all that they offer, plus, if you stick to their outline you will find that you can actually earn that money back in the first month or two already.

Now, let’s be honest, have you ever joined a program that actually did make you that money so soon?

So as far as the PLR content is concerned, I would definitely say they offer the best package you can find online if you are after creating unique content. Do yourself a small favour and have a closer look at this outstanding program, joining their free trial, do yourself an even bigger favour and stick to it!

If you are thinking of going into online marketing you must make sure you are able to follow and obey the 2 most important rules in order to become a success.

Let’s assume you belong to the huge crowd of people who dream of making a lot of money without having to leave your home or put on a suit and tie. To many people nothing sounds better than having a multiple stream of income ensuring their financial independence, without having to stick to a strict working schedule or following the orders of a boss.

Earning reports of successful online marketers make most of us dream away, thinking they were just lucky to get where they are today.

But nothing is further from the truth.

In order to cash in large affiliate checks, there are 2 things you have to really and completely understand and live by if you want a success as well.

The first thing you should never forget is: Content Rules.
Let me repeat it in case you did not understand… Content Rules!
It really isn’t all that hard to get people to your website, the more complicated issue is actually have them read more than just a few words before hitting the back button. This means you have to be able to produce quality stuff and come up with your own content. And keep producing quality content, over and over again.

The second most important thing is getting organic traffic to your site. Forget about cheap traffic you can buy in blocks of 100,000 hits, you need to make links pointing to your site so it goes up in all the search engine rankings. Building links should become your second nature and ideally you should be spending at least 80% of all your online activities on creating more and more quality links.

How to do it:

Identify the niche market you want to focus on, pick some topics and start creating your content. Write at least 10 articles and put them online before you start building your links to all separate articles, either by submitting to directories or creating links through article directories.

Keep creating new and fresh content and keep focussing on submitting the articles you wrote and after a few weeks you will start noticing how your traffic is building up. You might want to have a closer look at the first articles you wrote and rewrite them if you think they were poorly written, or you could actually link to those articles in-site as well.

Many people focus on looks just too much, wanting to have everything 100% perfect and in the end they will just give in and freeze. Remember it is better to keep refreshing your content and show people you are actually a real person with something interesting to say.

You really don’t need to worry too much about slick marketing campaigns, their importance is overrating in comparison to active link building and content creation.

You don’t need to spend a huge amount of money promoting your site either, just make sure you are using enough keywords throughout your articles and put in links to the merchants website you are promoting, and you will see that organic traffic that you have build up will start to create your bi-weekly or monthly pay check before you know it.

There you have the big secret to becoming a successful affiliate marketer, the 2 most important steps you need to do, over and over again, without overcomplicating things for yourself.

Does that sound too simple to you? Did you really think there was a hidden secret nobody wanted to share with you? Sorry to disappoint you then, it really is that simple, although it isn’t always as easy to do the work it takes.

Create your own strategy you can stick to or get the help from the guys at Making you Richer, where you will find an online marketing program that covers a lot of the affiliate marketing fundamentals. But, only do it if you are determined to achieve multiple income streams and financial independency!
