No doubt you have come across this time and time again; to improve your websites popularity, search engine ranking etc., you need to write articles. You will also probably think, as I did, that I can’t do this. There are ways around this. You can purchase the rights to articles that will allow you to add your own resource box to the bottom. The content may not be the freshest and the newest, and many others may be using the same content or variations on it, but it is still content with your resource box tagged on at the bottom. There are numerous article submission directories and sites on the net, such as the biggies like Go Articles, to small ones like my own. You will be able to submit your article, even if it isn’t original, to some of these without duplicating existing content on the article directory. This is what I did first. The next possibility is to go somewhere like http://www.elance.com, and pay someone to write articles for you. This is more expensive than the first option, but has the benefit that the article is original, so it is more likely to be copied and published elsewhere. Also, make sure you have the complete rights to the material you commission, so that you may modify, relabel, or amalgamate into an e-book if you desire. Usually, you should get several decent articles for the amount of money you spend. Finally, are you sure you can’t write your own article? That you haven’t found out something in your life that will be of interest to others? There is a huge list of possible article subjects at Go Articles and other sites, and you will be amazed at what you do know if you sit and think about it. After all, as I said earlier, I didn’t think I was capable of writing an article, yet this is one I wrote myself, and it isn’t my first. If you’ve made mistakes, an article describing how NOT to do something can be just as useful as one describing how to do something. If you still have problems coming up with a coherent article, jot down your notes and pay someone to ghostwrite it for you. Again, check sites like Elance for ghostwriters. Why write and distribute articles in the first place? Free advertising and promotion. I submitted several articles to a handful (under five) of article directories. Several days later, after Google had done a recent crawl, I did a number of phrase searches on the web. If you enclose your search phrase in quotes, Google will search for that specific phrase. I searched for some of the article titles I had posted, and my own name (admittedly, this is only useful if you have a rare name that doesn’t bring up pages of search results for other people of the same name). I found the articles I had published showing up on several websites. What made this even better was that a number of the places where I found the articles weren’t places I had submitted them to. Other people had taken my articles and published them on their own websites. So the benefit is, lots of non-reciprocal links pointing to your website, that frequently you didn’t have to do anything beyond initially publishing the article to get. Free traffic, advertising and promotion for a few minutes work. A final note. Make sure the articles are useful, and not just promotional sales letters. They don’t have to be long, 1-2,000 words is usually adequate as a maximum length for an article, but don’t just publish sales blurb. Your article won’t get syndicated elsewhere, and your reputation will suffer. Get known as a source of decent quality articles, and you will become known as an expert.

5Author Tour Tips Serious Writers Need to Know
By capil001

In the ‘old days,’ there was a specific formula to book promotion. A no-holds barred author tour was the answer where the author would go for a winning mixture of television, radio, print and book signings. It was a hold-nothing-back author tour where the writer would ‘appear’ in a given city and get some combination of heavyweight radio, TV, book-signing and newspaper coverage. When the author left that city, residents knew his or her name and the name of their newly-released title. So! is this kind of intense media blitz still realistic today? Actually, it depends. Depends? Yes! it depends entirely on who’s arranging the tour and whether or not they follow the right guidelines. “In this game there are rules, so make sure you get your PR firm to follow them!” Here Marsha shares her 5 author tour guidelines that will help you bring successes to your book’s promotion. 1. ‘Anchor’ each city with at least one interview on a major network TV affiliate. Marsha Friedman says, “This is where the PR ‘rubber meets the road’: If a major network affiliate show can’t be landed, there’s limited value in that market when you consider the time and money you have to invest in the trip. Just cancel that city and move onto the next.” 2. Obtain a minimum of two to three media appearances in each market within a day or two. This is yet another important part about whether or not to go into a city when you are on tour. Friedman says, “If you go out fighting for a day or two and things come together, you really have a good chance at “household name” status in that market.” 3. Schedule at least one book signing. This will guarantee availability of your book in that city. Plus book signings always generate the kind of excitement and promotion that might otherwise cost you a small fortune. Marsha Friedman adds, “This is a great way to create a combined effort with your other media appearances.” 4. Use your down time and visit area bookstores. When you are doing an author tour, there will always be a little bit of free time outside of your relentless promotion. Got an extra hour, then check out a local book store. Marsha Friedman says, “If your books are in stock, offer to sign them. And if they don’t carry your books, let the manager know you’re available for a book-signing bookstores adore promotion-minded authors.” 5. Increase visibility by speaking at relevant functions. Here’s another way to take full advantage of those hours after you do that interview on the six am morning news: Arrange speaking engagements at the local library, Church, Chamber of Commerce or professional affiliations these groups are usually clamoring for interesting speakers - especially those with a hot new book that’s just been released! Gearing Yourself Up to Be a Promoter! When you started off as a writer you probably never knew that you would also have to become a bit of a promoter as well! But that’s just the reality of successful writing. With an author tour, you really need to get promoting and make sure that you make every media appearance and book signing count! So! yes, ‘Author Tours’ can be very effective for creating a buzz about your book and generating sales - providing enough quality media and exposure is obtained in each city you travel to. Make sure though, that you follow the 5 tips above!
