			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.karlyns.com/images/post/article.jpg" width="200" align="right" hspace="0" vspace="0"/>Article Marketing is a great tool to use when it comes to adding traffic to your site. If you are not familiar with what it is, Article Marketing is simply writing articles and submitting them to article reprint directories on the web. </p>
<p>As you know, having fresh content on your website and blog is key when it comes to getting search engine traffic. Many website owners and bloggers visit article reprint directories on a daily basis, in search of articles to use on their sites. When you submit an article to a directory, you are allowing other website owners and bloggers permission to add your article to their site â€“ for free. However, they need to include an â€œabout the authorâ€ box at the end of the article. You get to write what you want included in that box, so include a bit of information about the product or service you offer and include links to your site.<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--

When the website owner or blogger puts your article up on the web, all of their readers will see your biography information and the links to your website. Your article could end up on hundreds or thousands of websites, and quite possibly, millions of people could end up reading it! Who knows how many people could click on your link?</p>
<p>It is very easy to find these reprint directories on the web. Just do a Google search on â€œfree reprint article directoriesâ€ and many listings will pop up. Some are highly targeted and feature only articles health articles; or only articles about food; and other directories are more general. You can submit your article to more than one directory, and there are even some software packages that will submit the articles for you.</p>
<p>The topics you can choose to write about are limitless. What is the focus of your website? Be creative and think of why someone would want to visit your website and create an article about it. Someone who sells Tupperware for instance, could easily write about food related items or take it a step further an write an article about the fact that the plastic containers are great for organizing toys, bathroom items or even nuts and bolts in the garage. </p>
<p>If you do not like to write, donâ€™t worry. You can hire a ghostwriter to write your article for you. You can ask other Internet Marketers for referrals on reputable ghostwriters. The prices for an article will vary, but an average rate is about $10 to $12 for a 500 word article. Once you discuss with the ghostwriter what you are looking for, they will write the article and send it back to you. Some ghostwriters may also include submit the article to reprint directories for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.karlyns.com/images/post/laughter.jpg" alt="laughter, a way to beat stress" width="300" align="right" hspace="0" vspace="0"/>A friend says something funny, and you laugh so hard you begin to cry.  Perhaps this uncontrollable laughter goes on for several minutes.  Did you feel the tension dissipate? What you are experiencing is a release of the stress youâ€™ve been carrying for days.  The old adage, â€œLaughter is the best medicine,â€ is true.  Why is laughter your secret weapon to beating stress? </p>
<p>You may be surprised to know that laughter is equivalent to fifteen minutes on an exercise bike.  It not only lowers the blood pressure, but increases the endorphins in your body which contributes to a healthier immune system.<br />
<span id="more-242"></span><br />
<!--adsense--><br />
Life is hard; why make it harder?  If you can determine what makes you laugh; whether itâ€™s going to a comedy club; surrounding yourself with funny people; watching a comedy on TV, or simply reading a book of jokes, you will be amazed how laughter can improve your physical and emotional well-being. Laughter actually distracts you from the underlying stress, and brings you to a balanced and calm state. It is, as they say, infectious.</p>
<p>It is important to laugh as much and as often as you can.  It is the cure-all for stress, frustration and, in some cases, depression. Perhaps youâ€™ve used the expression, â€œOne day we will remember this, and laugh our heads off.â€  By having a positive attitude, and using laughter as a mechanism to celebrate life, instead of stressing over it; youâ€™ll become healthier and less stressed when confronting negative events.</p>
<p>â€œLaugh and the world will laugh with youâ€¦.â€ With so much going on in the world today, laughter is a precious commodity we all need to get through a day.  As you go through your daily routine, find something to laugh about. Look at the bright side; tell yourself the cup is half full; laugh until it hurts.  You may not have control over certain aspects of life, but you can control the stress. Laughter is your secret weapon to beating stress.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.karlyns.com/images/post/information-products.jpg" alt="information products hot" width="200" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="0"/>Information products are becoming extremely popular and one of the reasons for this is we live in a time when people want their information and they want it now.<br />
<!--adsense--><br />
Think about it, someone logs onto the internet late at night feeling tired and miserable because they canâ€™t sleep â€“ they start searching for sleep help and a website featuring a great information product which will show that that person how they can get more sleep comes up.  Sure that person could probably find a lot of that information for free if they searched the net long enough, but they donâ€™t have days to search, they want to get to sleep now.  With an information product, they can instantly download and be reading that product all in less than 5 minutes.<br />
<span id="more-218"></span><br />
People are extremely busy and want their info fast and also on the go.  Many information products are a combination of audio as well as text.  This is due to the increasing number of people wanting to take their information with them.  Audio information products are great for busy people too. </p>
<p>Information products can be written on a wide variety of subjects, from recipes to work at home, to parenting â€“ an information product shouldnâ€™t be much different to a standard product.  It should provide useful, valuable information to the purchaser and be of a high standard.  The only difference is information products can be digitally downloaded, which means you donâ€™t deliver a physical product to the customer.</p>
<p>Here are a few more reasons why information products are great for all business owners:</p>
<p>Once you write the product it keeps producing for you.  Once you cover the costs of putting the product together, all future sales are profits.  You do the work once and the product keeps working for you over and over again. </p>
<p>Theyâ€™re simple to put together.  With a research outline you can quickly put together an information product.  You donâ€™t have to worry about finding a publisher or printing costs.  All you need to do is take the information you have on a subject and put it into words or audio (or both). </p>
<p>You can send traffic to your website.  By creating an affiliate program others will help you promote your information product, which means they will drive traffic to your website and help sell your product for a commission.  What a great way to build an effective sales force. </p>
<p>Itâ€™s an extra passive incoming stream.  Again, you do the work once and it keeps producing for you.  If you offer a service online you can put together an information product which will earn you a nice passive income.  </p>
<p>No matter how you look at it information products are hot.  Theyâ€™re in demand and this is a great time to get started writing information products. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Article marketing is a great way to increase your traffic, establish yourself as an expert in your field and gain publicity.  Writing and distributing articles online really can do all of that for you.  </p>
<p>Here are a few tips to keep in mind when marketing with articles:<br />
<!--adsense--><br />
<span id="more-214"></span><br />
Write quality articles â€“ Donâ€™t write articles just for the sake of building incoming links.  Sure this is a great reason to write and distribute articles but you also want your article to work extra hard for you.  By writing a quality article you can get those incoming links but also get other business owners to place your articles on their websites (even more incoming links â€“ not to mention traffic).  </p>
<p>And for the icing on the cake your article may get picked up and published by a large offline or online publicationâ€¦ wow talk about being in the spotlight then.  Mediocre articles just wonâ€™t get you the same results.  So if youâ€™re going to spend the time writing and distributing articles, why not make your articles really work for you?</p>
<p>Be the Expert â€“ When writing see yourself as the expert.  You chose this field and itâ€™s your job to communicate your knowledge with your customers.  Believe youâ€™re the expert and let it show in your writing.  Remember if you donâ€™t class yourself as an expert in your field itâ€™s unlikely anyone else will do it for you. </p>
<p>Write Author Bioâ€™s that Sell â€“ Many people may the mistake of writing the same mundane author bio â€œMary Sweet is the owner of a website called maryswebsite.com and enjoys writingâ€ â€“ Donâ€™t waste that valuable real estate at the end of your articles.  If youâ€™ve written a good article the reader will look at the author bio and if intrigued will click over to learn more.  </p>
<p>Be precise and write a benefit oriented author bio â€“ To learn more about how to build websites that sell visit maryswebsite.com â€“ or â€“ For a free 15 page report on building sales producing websites visit maryswebsite.com.  See the difference?  Concentrate on the benefit to the reader at all times. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been looking for a way to earn money from home? Why not take the skills you currently have and build a business around them? You will be able to create your own work schedule and can choose to work with local businesses or with people you meet online.<br />
<span id="more-183"></span><br />
People that are proficient in web design can easily find work.  Many people want to start an online business but donâ€™t know the first thing about building a website â€“ just visit any work at home message board and you will see many posts asking for help! </p>
<p>Are you creative? If so, you can find work as a graphic designer. Many people need help designing logos and advertising for their businesses. If you enjoy writing, you can find work as a copywriter â€“ the person who writes the information you read on websites.</p>
<p>If you would rather work offline, there are still plenty of opportunities for you. Just market your services creatively â€“ let businesses know how you can help them. For instance, if you were a teacher, now you can be an â€œEducational Consultantâ€ and coordinate lesson plans for local daycares! If you were the manager at a restaurant, you can turn that into a â€œCatering Consultantâ€ and help caterers and restaurants come up with new recipes or help brides plan their wedding menus.</p>
<p>Moms are expert organizers â€“ offer up your skills as a â€œprofessional organizerâ€ and get paid to clean out closets, attics and garages. Are you an expert at throwing birthday parties? Many busy parents would hire you to take care of planning their childrenâ€™s parties. </p>
<p>Are you good at sewing, knitting or scrapbooking or some other craft? Hold classes to teach others. If you do not have room at your home, ask your local hobby shop if you can hold classes there. </p>
<p>As you can see, there are many ways to turn your skills into ways to work from home. Once you decide on something to do, get out there and let everyone know you are available for hire! If you do not ask for work, you wonâ€™t find any! </p>
