A Dose of Reality
The reality is that there is nothing easy about what
I just outlined. Writing 50 to 250 articles can be a
lot of work. The task probably seems down right
impossible to you if you have no writing abilities.
But remember the article strategy is more about
quantity than quality.Yes the articles need to be
readable, and they must contain relevant content
that leaves your readers wanting more information
from you, but they do not need to be an award
winning works of literature. The easiest way to
write your articles is to simply perform a Google
search for your keyword and you will uncover enough
data to simply re-write in your own words. I didn't
say plagiarize, I said re-write. There is a
big difference.
It is also a very daunting
task to submit so many articles to so many
directories. Consider my example of selecting just
five keywords to target for your site, and
submitting 50 articles for each keyword, and
submitting them to 20 different article directories.
That equates to 250 articles multiplied by 20
different directories and you are looking at 5000
submissions. Even if it only took you five
minutes to submit each article, you would need to
spend 25,000 minutes which is approximately 416
hours.
Article marketing can become a
full time job very quickly. Many folks that consider
this marketing strategy decide against it for that
very reason. It's too much like real work! This
hardly seems like a productive way to build wealth
in an online business.
There Has to Be an
Easier Way
By now you must be thinking
that there has to be an easier way to go about
article marketing and you are correct. To begin
with, there are software tools available to help you
automate the writing and submission processes.
Article spinners are a
software that will allow you to write one article,
and then input alternate variables for words,
sentences, phrases etc. These variables are entered
in the form of a syntax which uses brackets and
pipes. Here is an example;
Today was a beautiful day. I went to the
park with my daughter. We had a great time
playing on the swings. Then we went to the
ice cream shop for a milk shake. It was
delicious and hit the spot.
After a short nap, we went to the movie
theater and watched Nemo. The animation
always amazes me. The characters seem to
just jump off the screen. After the movie we
went back home and settled in the evening
while playing a game of Chutes and Ladders.

The content in the box above
is my original content. In the box below I will
demonstrate how the syntax would look. Various
article spinners may use a different syntax, but the
syntax I will show you is fairly common.
Today was a {beautiful
day|gorgeous day|very active}. I went
to the park with my {daughter|son|son
and daughter|kids|children}. We had a
great time {playing on
the swings|on the playground
equipment|flying our kite}. Then we
went to the ice cream shop for a
{milk shake|banana
split|ice cream cone}. It was
delicious and hit the spot.
After a {much needed
nap|short nap|long nap|short rest},
we went to the movie theater and watched
{Nemo|Snow
White|Aladdin}. The animation always
amazes me. The {cartoons|characters}
seem to just jump off the screen. After the
movie we went back home and settled in the
evening while playing a game of
{checkers|chess|Chutes
and Ladders|Candyland}.

The first sentence contains a
syntax that contains three options for the last
phrase in that sentence. It could read any of these
three ways;
Today was a beautiful day.
Today was a gorgeous day.
Today was an active day.
The options are enclosed in
the brackets { }. The options are separated in the
syntax by the pipes " | ". The pipe key is located
just above the enter key on most keyboards and
requires the "shift" key to use it.
The software would then work
it's way through the article and insert options
based on what other syntaxes are in the content
being spun. It may surprise you that this short
couple of paragraphs could be written 16,200
different ways based on the syntax I have entered.
But that would only be using one of the syntax for
each article and therefore each of the 16,200
articles wouldn't be very different.
It is recommended that in order to create what can
be considered a different article from the original,
that the new one should be at least 30% unique from
the original. The article spinner software will use
all of the syntax in order to make that happen. I
would think that the short paragraphs I used as a
sample could be spun to create at least 50 different
articles that are at least 30% unique. But that's
just a guess as I didn't take the time to calculate
it. It's not that important for what I am showing
you here. Any good spinner will be able to spin the
article for you and then tell you how unique it is
from the original.
The Task of Submissions
You can see how a good article
spinning software can save you massive amounts of
time with the writing end of things. But what about
submitting all of those articles to all of the
directories? In my example I used the figure of
twenty different article directories. There are many
more directories available to you than 20. It could
easily take you five minutes to manually submit each
article. This is why you will be glad to learn about
article submitting software.
Article submitting software will automatically
submit your articles to many directories for you.
You will still need to go to each directory and
setup your account, but after that you can use the
software to automate your submission process. Some
of the sites will require that you enter a captcha
code at login. So you will need to monitor the
submission process so that you can enter the capcha.
But it is still much faster that doing it manually.
The best article automation
software will contain an article spinner as well as
an article submitter all built into one package. I
have made my recommendation in the left column of
this page. There is also another software that is an
article spinner as well as an article submitter and
a lot more. In fact this software will even read and
enter the captcha code for you. This software is
called SE Nuke and I have a full breakdown of it
linked in the left hand column.
