Article Marketing

Article Marketing for SEO has been around for years. It has changed drasticly throught the years though. Some of the stages have been groups of like minded people just exchanging articles amoungst themselves. Then the same group may have gone to what was known as asyemetrical article exchanges. This would be where person 1 was puting an article on person 2 site person 2 would put an article on person 3’s site and person 3 might put an article on person 1’s site. The bottom line here is to remember that Google has some of the top phd’s in the country working for it. It took them a very short time to sniff this out.
Article spinning was a step that was really bad where people whould take perfectly good articles and put them into some kind of software that would spin the synanems so that the words were different but it supposedly was suppose to be saying the same thing. In the words of a very smart friend of mine “Would you take last years research paper that you turned into your high school english teacher spin the synanyms and then turn it in again this year, I think not” Article spinning was a bad idea then and it is even a worse idea now.
So whats a person to do. It is simple write good articles. Or if you are not a good writer hire a good writer to write good articles. Find good places that like good articles and put your good articles on these good places. And by the way find lots of them. And one more thing be sure and put good quality links in the articles (Usually in the bio of the article)
This was easy to say and much harder to do. Or is it, this is part of the process that we work hard to get our clients to doing that has proven to be very successful for them.

Internet Marketing Coaching by Freddie Brister

We have been in Internet marketing since 2002. And we have been where you are. We are not offering you pie in the sky or guaranteeing you that you will be rich over night. But if you are willing to work hard and follow a plan we can show you how to get your website to the top of the search engines for the right keywords. And we can do this for you at an affordable rate.

So before I tell you what we can do for you and how let me tell you a little about us. You can look on the about us page to find more. But we are Freddie and Joyce Brister. We have live in Mississippi our entire lives. We were married back in 1983. Joyce had a degree in Marketing and I had a degree in Education. Joyce went into retail marketing and I started coaching football and teaching school then. After about 10 years Joyce became jealous of my time off in the summer and all my holidays and she went back to school and got a second degree in education. She stated teaching Computer Technology type classes and I continued on my course as a football coach.

As I told you in the beginning we lived in the great state of Mississippi and one of the things Mississippi is famous for is not paying its school teachers very much. Because of this Joyce and I were always looking for other ways of making extra income. We tried lots of things like MLM’s, Selling Fireworks, Doing camps and teaching swimming lessons. But as I had told you earlier in 2002 we discovered Internet marketing. And because of Joyce’s background in Computers and my sports background we started building sports related websites selling sporting goods. Well the sites looked great but we were getting no traffic. I started searching the Internet for programs to help me get traffic to my websites. We went through several coaching programs with several of the well known gurus with no progress. But I actually ran up on a program called Stomping the Search Engines by Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins. (I bought it on Ebay) I started implementing the things that they were telling me to do and I was amazed. I actually started getting traffic and I started marketing sales. I worked really hard doing the things they were telling me. And eventually I ran into another road block and I did not know how to overcome it so I just called them and asked if they had some kind of program I could join and get educated about how to do this stuff. And being the enterprising young men that they were they said to send them a check and come on over. I actually joined their apprentice program. I actually paid over $5,000 to join and later when stompernet was started the charge was around $800 per month. And even though this sounds kind of high it was one of the best decisions I had ever made. Since that time my business has at least doubled and sometimes tripled every year. Joyce and I both became internet marketing coaches for their elite members in 2008 we have worked with hundreds of their members to help them grow their business.

We don’t claim to be the greatest internet marketing gurus around, but we hang with most of them at stompernet and we study every thing they tells us in detail. We work extreamly hard to emplement the things they tell us into our own business. And by the way we have over 45 websites now. Some of the things work and some don’t as all businesses are different. Some things will work in one business model and others will work in others. We do claim to have lots of experience in internet marketing and we can show you what has worked in our business and lots of things that have not. We do not have any majic pills that can make you rich overnight doing internet marketing. But we can help people who are willing to work hard and willing to put in the time it will take to do the things they need to do to get to the top of the search engines.

We fill the best way to help people is through personal coaching. We do this through phone calls, we implement the gotomeeting software so that we can actully watch you work on your computer or you can watch us work to learn first hand how to empliment the stategies that we are going to talk about.
We fill the best package that we offer people is our bi-weekly coacing package where we work with you personally every other week for 30 minutes. We don’t chitchat on these calls we get right down to business. We find out what you have gotten done over the last two weeks since our last call. We try to help you test to make sure that what you are doing is working and we set up a plan of what you need to do over the next two weeks. This program is pretty much exactly what we do with our elite stompernet members who do very well.

We do have modifications of this program where we meet every week instead of everyother week and of course the cost is just doubled for the client. Also we have an economy level for people who are wanting help but are wanting to spend as little as possible. In the economy program we would meet once a month instead of twice per month. The economy program would be half as much as our normal program. And last we have a mastermind group that lots of our clients like to move into after being in the program for awhile.

The cost of these different programs are as follows:
Regular Coaching Program (meets every other week for 30 minutes) $100 per month
Elite Coaching Program (meets every week for 30 minutes) $200 per month
Economy Coaching Program (meets once per month for 30 minutes) $50 per month
Mastermind Sessions (meets once per month for 1 hour) $25 per month when available
