For those of you who just happened to stumble onto this article and are starting from the very beginning (a very good place to start), I’ll begin with a brief answer to the question: What is the purpose of article spinning?
We sometimes spin articles so that we can get added rewards as a result of the effort that we put into creating a good piece of web writing. We don’t want the exact same article’s publication on a large number of sites, because content that is too similar will not be of any value to anybody involved. Our readers certainly don’t want to repeatedly be asked to read the very same article, the websites risk getting no value from a duplicate article since the search engines try not to list the same article multiple times in any search results and we online marketers, in turn have no chance of getting all the traffic or search engine optimization (SEO) value through our links that we could have otherwise received.
Content or article spinning is really nothing more than rewriting the article multiple times…except that it is a lot easier, although still somewhat time consuming. What we actually do is rewrite the content one chunk at a time. The size of the chunk that you rewrite at one time, is up to you as you prepare for spinning. We essentially provide alternatives for each of those “chunks” from which a software program will randomly select. We might provide our software alternatives for entire paragraphs, for entire sentences, for phrases and for separate words. We can even build our spinning in a way that will result in article with different numbers of paragraphs.
A technique that most good spinning software options permit is called nested spinning. That is simply placing alternatives within other alternatives. As an example of this, let’s use this as my first sentence: “I adore my new green hat.” I could rewrite two substitutions for that. The first might be, “I surely love my green hat that I bought recently.” A second alternative could be broken into two sentences to achieve even more variety. “I purchased a new hat not long ago. It’s a very cheery bright green.” When these are presented to my spinning software, it will randomly choose one of the three alternatives for each of the many article versions that it provides.
Online Affiliate Blog Marketing can be pictured as revenue sharing between a blogger and a merchant. The blogger places banners, text links and even reviews on his blogs helping sell the merchant’s products, in exchange for a share of the profits.
Affiliate Programs
An affiliate program is a marketing tool for the merchant, and a source of earnings for the blogger that participates in it, called an affiliate or associate or a publisher.
There are several methods to produce revenue through affiliate marketing:
1) Pay per Click or Cost-per-click programs: When a potential customer leaves the affiliate blog by “clicking” on a banner or text link leading to the merchant’s website, money is deposited in the affiliate’s account. This amount can be pennies or dollars depending on the product value and the commission percentage.
2) Pay per Lead or Cost-per-lead programs: The merchant pays the blogger a set fee for each visitor who clicks through and takes an action at the merchant’s site, like filling out a survey, registering at the site, or opting-in to the sites email list.
3) Pay per Sale or Cost-per-sale programs: Each sale that is made as a result of advertising on the blogger’s blog, a commission is deposited into the blogger’s account.
The Amazon Story
The world’s biggest online bookstore is perhaps the most successful example of an affiliate program (called their associate program). Amazon has over 1 million affiliates! That translates to over 1 million blogs and websites promoting their products every single second of every single day. Generating over 40% of its revenue through their associates. That equals about $3 billion in revenue a year.
Thousands of diverse and unique companies have affiliate programs: Booksellers, Computer Retailers, Florists, Hosting Companies and Software Developers are only the tip of the iceburg. Many, many niche e-businesses depend on their affiliates not just to profit, but to survive. These “boutique” businesses don’t have the cash-flow to do high-profile advertising. It’s the grassroots, word-of-mouth (and blog) exposure that allows them to create or market just a few specialty items and still make a living.
Tomorrow we’ll continue this series with “Affiliate Programs as a Marketing Tool“, followed by “Choosing the Affiliate Program That Is Right for You.” Feel free to add your comment below…
Andrew J. Cass is revered by many for his seemingly ‘God-like’ talents with internet marketing. Running more than five prospering websites, he can well be classified as being in the top .5% of all people in the home business world.
The majority of Andrew’s online promotional efforts are engaged in marketing his Carbon Copy Pro business through Google Adwords. In fact, you can find links to his material on thousands of websites across the internet. I’ve ran into his material well over 100 times over the last several months, and I can tell that not only does he know what he’s doing – he understands marketing far better than the average ‘internet junkie’ and not only that – it’s fairly evident that he builds his business on sound principles that will ensure that he stays in the marketing game for many years to come.
It was March 2001 and AmeriPlan® had their Annual Convention in Chicago that year. I was a Regional Sales Director with AmeriPlan® and still worked full time as a Rural Letter Carrier at the Post Office. With four kids and a pile of bills, I felt as if the was no way I could attend Convention that year.
Dennis and Daniel Bloom decided to pre-pay for the convention, for anyone who had a monthly residual check to pay it back. Well, I really like the idea of paying it forward and took the Bloom Brothers up on their offer. I made a commitment to attend the Convention, no matter what it took.
At Convention I met my upline Craig Freeman for the first time, met a lot of leaders and had lunch with Dale Brooks. When I heard from the Founders of the Company and the Leaders on stage I started to get the vision. The vision of where AmeriPlan was heading with or without me.
It was at that Convention in 2001 that AmeriPlan® took the business to a new level with replicated e-commerce websites for IBOs. Everything was now in place. Any IBO could now do the business their both locally and nationally on the Internet.

I knew that if I got enough people looking, the AmeriPlan® Programs would sell themselves. Before long my name was listed in the Top 10 list of signing up members. Then in 2002 Dennis and Daniel came up with the Top Producer’s Trip to the Bahamas Challenge. My wife and I took the trip in Sept 2003 with 25 others who had increased their Residual and Builder’s Bonus by ,000 during the contest.
Being at the Convention in 2001 was the key factor of building my business with AmeriPlan®, enabling me to quit the Postal Service after 15 years, become a member of the $75,000 President’s Club and winning six out of six of the Top Producer Trips since 2003.
My advice for IBOs is to take advantage of the AmeriPlan Double Eagle Contest. Do your 10 pieces of business and earn a free convention ticket. Do whatever it takes, but get yourself and your team members to the convention in July. It could be the exact edge you need to excel to the Top.

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?
For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.
At its core, internet marketing is about these things:
* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads
Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.
My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.
My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers – as we do – and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.
However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.
Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.
Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.

· Evaluation Of The Business Opportunity
Amkey’s products, while useful for a healthy existence, may be difficult to sell; firstly because they are expensive and secondly because they are health based.It’s a general belief that such products are consumed only when people have health problems.Moreover, there’s tough competition from other brands that sell similar products at a lesser price.
In spite of all this, there’s good potential to sell Amkey products because of their quality and worth.This is however, not a product to be promoted using cold calling techniques or by bearing on people you know and pleading with them to buy the product.
What you need now is a platform to explain the benefits of the product you promote in a way that’ll make people take interest and approach you. Amkey’s an internet friendly company that encourages its members to start their own website to promote their products.You could go a step further and use innovative online marketing techniques such as writing articles, using Facebook and other social networking sites etc.Products such as these have high demand online; all you have to do is to capture this demand and get it materialized into sales orders.
