An Introduction To Unique Article Wizard: Unique Article Wizard is an article directory submission tool that allows you to submit articles to a variety of blogs, directories, and submission sites. Since Unique Article Wizard has a number of blogs that belong to it’s directory, finding relevant sites that will list your article is usually no problem.

How Unique Article Wizard Works: Typically, a person may write an article, submit it to an article directory, and then link back to their web site or blog with relevant information. If you’re submitting to a niche site with quite a bit of traffic, this method is great for getting quality traffic. If you’re looking for backlinks for SEO purposes, however, you’re stuck with one or two backlinks. Through Unique Article Wizard, though, you’ll be submitting an article to a variety of web sites by picking categories and topics that your article is relevant to. I’m a monthly subscriber to Unique Article Wizard and have used it to pick up a number of backlinks to my site, as well as to rank on the first page of Google *quickly* for a number of terms. There is a non-disclosure agreement that doesn’t allow me tell you exactly how the articles are submitted, but it’s completely white-hat.

How Does Unique Article Wizard Allow Me To Get Rankings For Specific Keywords: After you submit an article, you have the opportunity to write an Author Resource or “BIO” box. In the resource box, you can also include html. For one of my web sites, the resource box may look something like this: Business Name provides a variety of KEYWORD 1 and KEYWORD 2 resources. Where keyword 1 and keyword 2 are, those would be html links and you wouldn’t see the code. By distributing your article to upwards of thousands of blogs and article sites, Unique Article Wizard is placing keyword anchor text for you, something that could take hours if you were to do it yourself. You have the potential of placing hundreds to thousands of targeted anchor text on high PageRank and trafficked sites, increasing your chances of ranking for the keywords you are targeting.

How Fast Will I Begin Ranking For The Keywords I Am Targeting? Unfortunately, that’s not a question that can be easily answered. If you’re trying to rank for a highly competitive term, it may take quite a bit more than article marketing to rank for the keyword. I have, however, ranked for competitive terms by solely using Unique Article Wizard. My site already has links pointing to it, but my technique consisted of pushing out 1-2 articles per DAY. If each article is posted to 800-1,600 sites (per the category I was targeting), that’s a potential of 8,000 links a week, on the low end! I make sure to switch up my keyword anchor text, though, using a variety of phrases and pages so that all the links count, instead of being counted as duplicates.

Is My Site Benefiting From Using Unique Article Wizard? A few days after I submit my article, I take two steps: 1. Run a Rank Check Report: Using Aaron Wall’s free SEO Book plugin, I type in the keywords that I was targeting in the article and see where I currently rank. Over a week period, if I’m aggressively distributing unique, informative articles, the ranking will steadily increase. 2. Check In With Yahoo Site Explorer: After a week or so, backlinks from your article will begin showing up. I use Yahoo’s free tool to see how many links my site now has, and I use tools like SEOPro (free) to find out the PageRank of those sites, the anchor text that is pointing to my site, and whether that anchor text link is nofollow or not. Yahoo Site Explorer is a quick way to confirm that, yes, my article marketing is getting me backlinks, while SEOPro is a more time intensive way to confirm that, yes, those links are providing value.

Is Unique Article Wizard Really Worth The Money? That’s also a hard question to answer without knowing your situation. For me, the answer is YES. Actually, it’s MOST DEFINITELY YES. Unique Article Wizard will cost you $67 a month via PayPal. If that’s not in your budget right now, then obviously it’s not worth it to you. If you’re on the fence about ordering it, the nice thing is that Unique Article Wizard IS a monthly subscription, and you can cancel at any time.For me, Unique Article Wizard provides benefit in that I am at no loss for new article topics, and Unique Article Wizard makes it easy for me to distribute those articles to relevant sites AND get quality backlinks back. I submit anywhere from 1-10 articles a DAY via Unique Article Wizard, albeit for a variety of sites and client web sites. If you are only going to use Unique Article Wizard once a month or so, the cost may not be justified. You can easily submit a few articles to sites like Ezine Articles or Go Articles, but you may not get as many backlinks.The other thing about Unique Article Wizard, the thing I want to make ABSOLUTELY clear, is it’s not an end all be all for link building. For a link building strategy to be successful, you need to partake in a variety of methods: press release distribution, directory submission, blog commenting, forum commenting, image alt text, link bait, AND article marketing. Article Marketing may quickly get you to the top spot for a long tail keyword, but for competitive keywords and niches, it’s only going to nudge you a few pages. What article marketing and Unique Article Wizard CAN do, though, is push you to the top if you’re ALMOST there - maybe a few links behind your competitor. Your competitor will have to work extra hard trying to find new links, not knowing that a few articles are all it took to get you thousands of links and to the top of the rankings.

I’m Not A Writer - Is Unique Article Wizard Right For Me? This is the spot where I tell you to outsource. I, in fact, outsource the writing portion of my article marketing tactics for a few of my affiliate sites that would take me hours of research for one 500 word article. For subjects I’m passionate or knowledgeable about, I can knock out a few articles a day, but there are a variety of places to find credible writers at. There are quite a few article marketing services that claim they provide quality articles at $3 per article, but I’ve found that you do often get what you pay for.

In 2003 a business entrepenour named Stone Evans discovered that there was an internet based business which people could generate an residual income profit from their home based business. This business is called a plug-in profit system and Stone Evans decided to share his knowledge with the world to help them become financially stable in their lives.

The internet based home business is a website called a plug-in profit web site where people can promote products or an affiliate program and generate up to 50% of profits from the web site. Business owners are also able to generate a residual income when people sign up to their own web site through your web site.

Through advertising your web site, or a link to your site, visitors will be able to purchase the product or sign up for a program. Your website can be a link to many products, from health and fitness and beauty, or business ventures, such as affiliate programs, ebooks through click bank and advertising through Traffic swarm or products from SFI - Strong Future International.

Benefits from signing up with a plug-in profit website it that training manuals are provided when you sign up for the program. You can use these manuals to refer back to at anytime and there are no lengthy courses to attend. With even the most basic pc skills you are able to compete in this home business venture. If you have technical internet skills that will be an advantage for you as you will be able to alter your website and possible gaining more visitors to your site, and knowing how to advertise your page at a more cost effective and effiecient way.

The disadvantages from plug-in profit are that it is a very competitive business and may be harder to break then some other internet based businesses. Plug-in profit is not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme either. It may take months to start seeing a profit, unless you are experienced in the internet marketing business. You will need to put in the time and effort for the business to work.

Many of the programs in plug-in profit business are MLM, Multi Level Marketing. In MLM you will earn a portion of the commission of each person who signs up from your website, some people may see MLM as a disadvantage, but if you are putting in the work and the people under you are putting in the work and everyone is making money, this does not look like a disadvantage.

There are ongoing fees required for this business. You will need to pay a joining fee and many programs require monthly payments for hosting and advertising. This business is not recommended for people who do not have the money to join, or who cannot put the time in to promote their website.

If you are ready to put the hours and work into this business, then this business is suitable for a beginner to an advanced internet business marketer. If you have the desire to be able to work from home and create a safe and financially stable future for yourself and your family this may be the home based business that you require.

Making money with affiliate marketing.

If you have spent some time looking around on the internet for ways to make money, you have probably realized that the ultimate money making opportunities are affiliate marketing and network marketing, but not as a hobby, but as a serious business online.

The concept of making money with affiliate marketing is to publish content online and refer your readers to affiliate products related to your content. But to do it as effective as possible with the maximum results, you need to have your own affiliate website.

Making money with affiliate marketing has 2 steps, step 1 is to publish useful and helpful content online with links to your affiliate products; the second step is to bring people to read this content and hopefully click on your affiliate links. There are affiliate marketers who publish content and do hopping that people will reach this content. But to have a successful affiliate business you need to know exactly where to put your content and how to bring people to that specific address.

And to do it the best you better have your own address, it will be your own domain name and website, and with your website you can publish different content and have different affiliate offers.

Having a website is the easiest, cost effective way to making money online, after having your own affiliate website; you can then add more ways to generate income from it.

Today, millions of people are seeking out ways that they can earn residual income. Let’s get to the basics, in order to make any money we all have to hold down a successful job. With residual income you get paid for something that you only had to do once. The money consistently flows in each and every month non-stop.

A lot of people think that residual income is a simple scam. However, were here to tell you that there is no scam where residual income comes into view. There are a plethora of people who are making a full time income off of residual money that they had already earned prior. Why shouldn’t you get paid for something over and over again?

Everyone knows about the internet and the numerous amounts of doors that it has opened to just about every career that you can imagine. The internet has also opened the doors to residual income. People are joining programs where they pay a small fee every month and someone else is reaping the benefits. The trick is to get enough people to join under you, so you can collect proceeds from them every month.

There are a plethora of people who often times work themselves to the bone. They put in excessive long hours as a means to ensure that their family is taken care of. They dream of one day not having to do this, and still have a positive way to take care of their families. People become victim to a job that only pays them a per hour fee, and only pays them for a job once.

With the consistent need to have to work to support your family, many home units are falling apart. They simply feel as if they do not know the other person anymore. Or, the other person doesn’t have enough time to know them. If family is supposed to be the reason why we work then why on a daily basis are we forced to be torn away from them?

In order to understand this whole residual income thing, we need to create a scenario. Let’s put into retrospect that you own an internet business. The business is doing a decent amount of sales for ebooks. E-books are defined as electronic books that people can take a gander at that focus on a particular subject. Let’s say you sell these books and you are making a decent income.

After the sale of the book has commenced you have no more strings to the customer. You collect your money for the sale, and that is the last amount of money that you will see from that one person. This is not what you get when you are earning residual income.

Residual income could be incorporated into this scenario. If it were after the person bought the e-book let’s say you lead them to a website that will help them understand more about the e-book in general. The site charges a monthly fee to all members, let’s say a fee of $20. 00. The customer pays this fee; every month that they continue to pay you get a percentage off of that fee. This is what residual income truly is.

A typical small to midsized company doesn’t have much fat so watching and controlling costs is an everyday part of life. One cost under routine scrutiny is the cost of recruiting. Most of the largest costs of talent acquisition are hidden in variations in new hire performance and management time spent on trying to do it yourself. Cost effective recruiting involves attending to these real costs, not just the direct cash outlays. In this article we will help you understand what is driving your cost of recruitment and help answer the question: “Is there a better and cheaper alternative?”

The Biggest Cost: Variation in New Hire Performance

The biggest cost an organization can incur in hiring is getting a poor performer. Hiring a person is not like buying a physical asset (like a PC) because the variability in new hire performance is so much greater. You may calculate that a Dell notebook will have a lower total cost of ownership than an HP notebook or vice versa; but you won’t go far wrong with either brand. The same can’t be said for hiring. It’s easy to go very wrong with a hire and the costs of making a sub-optimal choice dwarf all the other cash costs involved in recruiting.

The obvious wrong hire is the one you fire or who resigns after a couple of months. All the direct and indirect costs of hiring and onboarding have to be incurred a second time to replace the failed hire. However, the largest cost to your organization is not the obvious failed hire; it’s the poor hire that is slow to learn the job, never performs very well, doesn’t fit the culture of the company and is certainly not bench strength for the next level up. This type of person will cost your organization money month after month and most likely will become a turnover statistic.

So the CFO’s number one question when looking at controlling hiring costs has to be “Are we reliably following the right hiring process to ensure that we are attracting and hiring only top performers?”

The Second Biggest Cost: Wasted Management Time The second biggest cost for organizations that don’t have a specialized recruiting department is the cost of management time. Does the plant manager end up spending a couple of hours crafting a poorly written job placement ad instead of looking at ways to cut defects or improve productivity? Is the sales manager spending the afternoon sorting through 50 unqualified resumes instead of shadowing a rep on a sales call?

Recruiting is time consuming and if your managers are spending time doing work that a specialist could be doing faster and better then that is a waste of an expensive resource. It’s not just the cost of a manager’s salary that is of concern; it’s that they are distracted from leading their department, being productive and adding value.

The CFO’s second question is “Do we have the right people working with the right hiring process to ensure that we are attracting and hiring only top performers?”

The Final Set of Costs - Direct Cash Outlays

The direct cash costs of recruiting are highly visible and are mainly sourcing related (e.g. the newspaper ad, the job board ad, the cost to attend a job fair) or agency fees (if you use a search firm). From an accounting point of view what is nice about these costs is that they are easy to track but they difficult to define in term of receiving value for money spent. Value here should be defined by a great quality of candidate response not a great quantity of responses. Would you rather attract five candidates with the skills, knowledge and behaviours to be a top performer than 50 candidates who are far from qualified? Time spent implementing a poor process to attract poor quality is a wasteful and costly burden on your recruiting staff and is unproductive.

The risk is that in trying to reduce these visible costs, organizations inflate the less visible costs. If cutting back on sourcing or employment agency expenses leads to lower quality of hire, longer time to hire or more management time spent on recruiting then it is a false saving.

The Argument for Outsourcing and Agencies

As we’ve discussed, if you look at the income statement you won’t see the two biggest costs involved in recruiting (poor quality of hire and the time your managers spend in running an inefficient recruiting process); what you may see is the cost of using a recruitment process outsourcer (RPO) or employment search agency. Is this a cost to be avoided?

The argument for using third party service providers in recruiting is the same as for any other aspect of the business: very often a specialized third party has the expertise, a finely honed process, an investment in technology and the economies of scale to do the work better, cheaper and faster than you can do in-house.

One shouldn’t underestimate the value a third party can bring to recruiting. A good search firm is up-to-date on the latest search tools, they have a modern applicant tracking system, and they are well trained in sourcing and selection. In particular, if they really are experts in this area then they have access to passive candidates that your firm just won’t have. Passive candidates are people who are not actively looking for a job but can be lured to the right opportunity. Professional recruiters invest a lot of time in building a network of high quality passive candidates, something very few organizations can do in-house.

If a third party can deliver top quality candidates then chances are they are saving you a lot of money not costing you a lot of money.

What About Your HR Department?

As soon as we talk about recruitment outsourcing or employment agencies someone will say “Shouldn’t our HR person be doing all our recruitment?” The quick answer is “No, maybe not. Let’s understand why. If you talk to full-time recruiters working in a Fortune 100 company they’ll take pains to explain why their job isn’t anything like HR. A good recruiter has a singular, aggressive, sales like approach quite removed from the multi-disciplinary process oriented style of a great HR professional.

If your organization has a single HR generalist then they will certainly know something about recruiting, but they won’t be an expert. It’s also unlikely that they’ve been allocated sufficient time to do a thorough job of sourcing and selecting candidates. Depending on your needs an HR generalist may be able to handle most duties effectively, but for many companies it’s asking too much for them to create and implement an effective recruitment process. Drawing upon the expertise and resources of outside service providers can assist to fill in the gaps in the process and produce better results. This is a far better option compared to making a bad hire and compromising your productivity, performance and profitability.

What to Do

Recruiting is a tough area for CFO’s to tackle because the most visible and easily calculable costs are not the most important or even the second most important costs. The job of the CFO is to ask tough questions around “Are we confident we are getting top quality candidates who will add value to this company?”, “Are we allocating recruiting work to the right people using an efficient and effective process?” and “Are we shooting ourselves in the foot with senior managers spending time recruiting at the expense of their real job?”

We can’t just assume that a good HR generalist can do all the work so we need to look at the value of third party providers. The value of a search agency or RPO is assessed on the quality of people they bring to your organization. Focus on quality and the value will be there.

Now can you afford not to use an employment agency?

The internet has become one source of making money easily and one of the many moneymaking opportunities online is through pay per click marketing. It is not only a popular advertising tool online but it has also given good opportunities for millions of website owners.

Pay per click marketing was introduced in 2002 and it has then become a popular marketing tool as Google Adwords also adopted the concept. However, advertising cost in this method of online advertising may vary widely.

Pay per click marketing works by displaying your ads on as many websites as you want on the internet. Putting your ads on websites may not cost you something but when internet users click on your ad, you have to pay the website owner of the cost. Cost in pay per click means the cost per click of the ad.

There are two ways in determining the cost in pay per click marketing. It can be determined through flat rate and through bid-based.

In the flat rate pay per click marketing, you can negotiate with the website owner a fix rate or cost of each click to your ad posted in his website. This usually depends on the web page and the relevance of the website to your business. You can also keep a rate card, which lists all the rates for your ads in different web pages or websites.

On the bid-based pay per click marketing, the cost per click of your advertisement is determined through bidding with other companies and advertisers. The rate then is based on how much you are willing to pay for every click of your ad for a particular ad spot. In this method of pay per click marketing, you will be competing with other advertisers as to the lowest cost you can pay for every click for your ad.

In choosing any of these models to follow, it is however important to keep in mind that the main goal of pay per click marketing is not just getting clicks to your ads but getting sales of your products. Therefore, it is wise to weigh the cost that you are investing and the value of that in terms of potential sales of your product.

In this article, I am going to go over a few key points as to why internet based marketing will give you a better return on your investment over that of offline marketing. Let?s begin with an example.

You go to your local newspaper and you tell them you want to place an ad. While there, you ask them how many readers they have or what are the circulation numbers - and they give you a round about number. You also ask, what the demographics are, and they give you a general answer, as they do not exactly know.

Then, let’s say the place an ad in the classified section and then sit back and wait to see what happens. Now, to track this, you put a code on your website URL so you know exactly how many visitors you’re getting from that one newspaper ad. With the phone number, you also include a code, so that you know where the calls are coming from.

Now, of course, you need to wait and have your ad go out in the next newspaper edition. After about a week, you start to get some calls and some website traffic. You measure that against what your ad cost you. You might find that with 10 leads, the ad is costing you five dollars a visitor, for a final ad cost of $50.

In this example, we do very well and make one sale. Now, you may get other trickle in calls over the coming weeks, as often, people keep the newspaper and respond to an ad later.

Now, let’s take an Internet advertisement example by comparison. For this one, you start a pay per click campaign. With this method, you determine what keywords are relative to your service or product. You can get as targeted as you want and you can put a few keywords in a broad category, too, to see what keywords you might be missing out on when you try to snare everyone in your market.

With this example, your ad goes live within just 15 minutes, using, let’s say, Google. You don’t pay unless people click on your link; if they do, you pay a dollar. Let’s say that your conversion rate is 2%. This means that you spend $100 to make two sales.

However the advantage here is that you can track which keywords are leading to keywords, and which are not and refine your ad campaign accordingly to maximize your conversions.This makes your campaign more cost effective, not to mention bringing in more sales than a newspaper ad.

You can also tell with the broader keywords how exactly people are finding you. Additionally, you can place ads on other websites with exact demographic information which are highly targeted to your business.

The point is this; when it comes to online advertising, your ability to measure the performance of your advertising is far better.

Of course, pay per click is only one form of online advertising. There are many others which are very effective such as article marketing, advertising in ezines which appeal to your target demographic and putting out press releases. Email marketing is one of the best methods out there, if properly done.

Internet based marketing can significantly reduce your costs. It can also provide more information that lets you run more efficient and better marketing campaigns. In addition, your turnaround time is faster so that you get better information much sooner than you do with traditional venues.
