Well here we are with day two, lets get right into it.<\/p>\n
First of all thanks for the comments everyone. Please keep them coming, especially if you can add any more info\/tips after anything I write. I don’t know everything and I’m sure some of the topics I discuss can be elaborated on further by some of you so please chip in if you can so we can all benefit.<\/p>\n

What I Did Today.<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m guessing you got the email from me today?<\/p>\n The reason I decided to Promote AuctionTNT via the blog is simply because it will stay there permanently. If I had just done a mailing like I usually do I would have had sales for about 72 hours. Posting a review to the blog means I can still get affiliate sales months or even years down the road. As an example Tim Knox still gets me sales of one of my products about 6 months after he promoted it and I always wondered how he did this. Then I realized it was because he promoted my site on his blog.<\/p>\n So there you go, something I am not ashamed to say I have just started doing myself and while I know it’s not top secret info I bet not all of you are doing this? So when you promote a product to your list consider adding it to your blog.<\/p>\n I submitted an article to multiple article directories.<\/strong><\/p>\n And this only took me 2 minutes. I don’t care what anyone says, article marketing works and I have been doing this on a constant basis for almost two years now. You can check out all my articles at:<\/p>\n http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?expert=John_Thornhill<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n I guess you’re thinking how I managed to write and submit an article to multiple directories in two minutes?<\/p>\n Well first of all I now get all my articles ghostwritten. I used to write them myself but I don’t bother now. As the sole purpose of my articles is to drive traffic back to my websites I don’t feel I have to write everything myself. I am not saying you should get your articles written for you. Just do what you feel comfortable doing. I pay $7 per article from a ghostwriter I found from elance.com<\/a> and as it could sometimes take me an hour to create one article I feel $7 is peanuts for an hour of my life back.<\/p>\n Secondly, I use an article submission service. Once again I used to spend hours submitting to tons of article directories but now I just have to do this once and the site I am a member of does everything for me. This service costs me $37 per month and once again I feel it is money well spent as it’s something I no longer have to do. If you want to check this out visit submityourarticle.com<\/a><\/p>\n Now you don’t have to do either of the above. Like I have already said just do what you feel comfortable doing. If you enjoy writing and don’t mind taking the time to submit articles you don’t need to do anything different. However, if you find your business growing this is definitely something you should consider outsourcing.<\/p>\n A word of warning, be weary of using PLR articles as this can get you banned from certain directories for duplicate content. Always use 100% original content.<\/p>\n So there you go, two more business building exercises taken care of. Have you done anything today to build your business?
