QUESTION: Will this Free Teleclass be Recorded and will a replay of it be available?

ANSWER: YES, this teleclass will be recorded, but I’m undecided if or how long a replay will be made available due to the time-sensitive offer being made at the end of the class for those joining us.

Great idea for a TeleClass!

Once we “writers” get past the blocks and get to writing compelling copy – the BIG question is…(regardless of what we are promoting)

In an article – WHAT gets people to TAKE ACTION and go to our sites noted in the resource box?

Hi Chris!

This is very interesting! I’m waiting for the tape because I cannot follow the Teleseminars being in Greece. We here are around 9 hours in front of you, I never know how to calculate the time and I don’t like to stay in the phone too long.

I’m curious about what Cathy will suggest, though!

I saw many sites that pay for content, but it has to be exclusive, only for their site.
I prefer to write articles for EzineArticles.com and see Google Alert everyday showing me how many of my articles other people picked up in order to use them in their sites.

Now, my answer to the question: What is your single biggest challenge to overcome when trying to profit or improve your ability to profit from your content?
I don’t know!
I have so many things to write about!
Perhaps the necessity to repeat several basic aspects many times could be considered a problem.

Thank you for showing us how we can start profiting from content! This is very nice from you!

I write articles that might list 3 ways to do Xyz. Step 2 might be hard to do so I mention that I’ve created software that does it for them.

Then I continue to step 3.

My question is:

Is it ok to make a reference to my product in the middle of the article (embedded text link) when i submit my article to article directories?

Thanks,

Andy Schwaiger writes:

My biggest problem: I can provide a lot of information about my topic / field of expertise (adventure travel in BC, Canada) but I don’t think it’s something anybody would want to pay me for…so I’d need to think of a product first that I could turn into money/profit and that’s my challenge.

I would like to raise a point that is important to the writer of an article and also the reader.

Recently it was no longer allowed to use affiliate links in articles, I have no problem with that and in fact can see the reasons.

My website is an information site with a lot of categories making it simpler for the reader to navigate.

When I submit an article I can only use my main site page ie http:// cothivalebooks . com. [EDITORS NOTE: UNLINKED ON PURPOSE PER BLOG COMMENT POLICY]
But the information that I am trying to lead the reader towards would be perhaps http:// www. cothivalebooks. com/product.php?products_id=231 [EDITORS NOTE: UNLINKED ON PURPOSE PER BLOG COMMENT POLICY]

This is not an affiliate link but a page properly written up to give the reader immediate and direct access to the information discussed in the article. If they are lead straight to the main webpage only, then they have to navigate to find the information themselves.

I would imagine that a lot of php websites are set up in a similar manner.

I understand that the rules are the rules and I am certainly not wanting to buck the system but is there not a case for allowing the page link for multi page websites?

My two biggest challenges seem to be lack of TIME to finish articles and other tasks, and trying to figure out the TECHNOLOGY to automate things. (Not that it is difficult, just another thing to “look into”.)

This is a great idea for a teleclass, and I hope I get home in time to be able to join you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Thanks, Chris. My biggest problem is bridging the gap between interested readers and product purchasers. If the income is to occur from information products I create, a second problem is knowing where to draw the line between giving it all away free in articles and understanding what people will find valuable enough to pay for. Of course there are other possible ways to generate income from content, I assume, other than snagging traffic. So a third problem would be identifying those other cash-generating options!

Hi Chris,

I really want to hear what you and Cathy Stucker have to say. I’m not sure but I think you are probably in America so its not practical for me to phone in from Europe. Can I listen in on the web? Any idea what time it will be GMT?

Keep up the good work.

The product I sell online (decorative pillows) is difficult for me to work up “a rant” about… I like the products we have and I am excited about each new one we select for the site (there are over 500 throw pillows there, now!) but it’s hard for me to imagine anyone else getting as excited about something as mundane and ordinary as a “couch pillow”!  That hold’s me back… (Yup-piee another pillow!  That’s how I feel) so I write about “Color” or some related topic… I guess I write BEST when I’m disturbed about something… Perhaps I should write about how upset I am that “no one’s” looking at my site! : ) (the html is a joke)

What I need by way of guidance:
1. subject matter for articles,
2. approx length of that particular article,
3. permission to embellish article with pictures and images,
4. help sort out technical problems that arise while submitting articles, such as,
4:1 ordinary text turn to html after posting,
4:2 name of author change after posting,
4:3 allow the whole article to be bolded to be easy-on-eyes to read.
