Tips on how to write a good article that READ bt Travis Sago

I have also looked over dozens of
articles for some of you...and am
posting some tips here based on
some of the main things that could
use a wee bit of improvement.

1. Break your words into
paragraphs! Try to keep them 5 or 6
lines at the most. (Like I do
here.)

...If your article looks hard to
read...it won't be read! Even if
your content will solve world
hunger.

Plus, an article not read...will
not make you ZERO moolah.

2. THIS ONE IS A BIGEEE - Remember
from a "Bum Marketers" stand point
the most important part of the
article is??

Answer: The authors bio box! You
need to make an enticing bio box.

How you do 'dat?

Here's a couple ways:

Look at the merchant sales
page...many times they give away a
free course or free bonus or
SOMETHING FREE.

Folks love that!

Soooo...

Let's say your article targets a
first-time pregnancy and the
merchant is selling a pregnancy
exercise video and is giving away a
free video on the stages of
pregnancy...

Your bio could simply be:

Discover how you and baby can stay
healthy, fit and trim...and get
your free no obligation video:
"Pregnancy Week By Week". Yours
free for visiting www.yourlink.com

Another very good way is to get
inside your readers head...and
think about what and/or why he is
reading your article to begin with.

For example:

Let's say you are trying to sell a
book about improving job
interview skills.

What are a couple reasons that
brought your reader to your article
in the first place?

He may be out of a job.

He may hate the job he is in.

What are some things that may be
going through his mind?

"Please, don't let it take long for
my to find a new job."

"I hope I don't have to settle for
a job I hate to pay the bills."

etc...

So...In your bio...address what is
going on in his mind.

Maybe:

Did you know it takes the average
person 120 days to find a new job?
Can you afford to wait that long?
Disover how you can slash that time
in half...without settling for a
position you will hate.

See what I am doing?

Remember...every product on the
market...solves a problem...or
fills a want or need...address
those in your bio!

Your bank account will love you for
it.

3. Think about the profitability of
your topic.

There is a world of difference
between:

How to lose fat on thighs.

and

How to scramble an egg.

One is going to require something
more than one article can
give...the other is just a quick
search for information, which once
found is very unlikely to lead
anywhere.

Make sense?

Cool!

And my last tip:

I want you to get to know a
phenomenal Bum Marketer...she has
been "Bumming" way longer than I
have...

Allow me to introduce:

Sara Brown...

She is AMAZING...on how simple she
thinks...and how much money she has
made me with her "bum marketing"
methods...

Her stuff is a perfect fit for you
"bums"...this fits right in with
what you are doing now.

And she NEVER charges an arm and a
leg...

Go to her website ...and you
can learn how she makes a living
from...

A dirty...old...worn piece of
paper:
