LunLun Articles

When you try to be perfect, you waste a lot of time working on some minor details almost nobody notices.

What is really important when you write an article is to create a vivid image in your reader’s mind about what you are trying to say. Let’s say a man, in an Armani suit comes to tell you that he wrecked your car by accident. Later, a man dressed like a beggar tells you that he heard on the news that you won the lottery. Which of those two will give you more pleasure? The news is more important than the courier. The message of the article is more important than the way is written and the Grammar.

Of course, you should always try to comb your articles in order to make them look nice. FireFox has a spell checker integrated. When you post your article, FireFox will spot some of your obvious Grammar mistakes. Correct those, then let the article sit on your site!

There are a lot of benefits of owning an article directory.

1. You can get all the money or, at least, the big cut.
2. You decide what to write about.
3. You decide how long (or short) an article can be.
4. You get approved instantly and ALWAYS.
5. You can put your affiliate links inside your articles.
6. You can add pictures, audio or video to your articles.
7. You can edit your article very fast, any time you want.

Articles are an easy way to attract traffic to your site. The basic idea is to write an article and to submit it to an article directory.

The main purpose of an article directory is to make money, based on your work. Your reward can be a tiny share of that money, traffic, or both.

How about having an article directory, all for yourself?

Step 1. Buy a domain name.
A domain name with the word “articles” in it is a start. If you have a company, or if you want to use your name, you can add it in front of the articles.
Example : LunLunArticles.com

Step 2. Get a hosting company.

Step 3. Download and install a CMS (content management system).
I use WordPress, which as 2008, is one of the best FREE CMSs on the market.

Step 4. Get the content.
Many people believe that Google hates duplicate content. See for yourself : grab a PLR article, and search Google for the first sentence from the article. If you see only one result, then yes, Google hates duplicate content. If you see more than 10 different sites, with exactly the same article then … you draw the conclusion. So, a good place to start is to find a site that will offer you some PLR articles.
Take one article at a time and make it look nice. That is, bold, italicize, reformat the paragraph if you need. Then post on your site 10 articles a day.

Step 4. Create original content
After your article directory has at least 100 articles, you can start to post articles written by you. If you don’t like to read article, read eBooks about how you can write article fast and easy, like you write a letter to a friend.

Step 5. Get original content from others
After you have at least 500 articles, start to accept content from other authors.

Step 6. Get traffic to your site

Many sellers offer 30 days money back guarantee for the product they sell. This is supposed to make you feel that you have nothing to loose if you try the product and don’t like it.

The reality is different. In some cases, the seller will simply not answer your eMails, or will not want to return you the money. Especially if the seller uses PayPal, you’ll not be able to get your money back in some cases and the complaints will not help.

I have personal experience with this kind of situation. I even escalated the complaint, but I did not see my money back.

Beware of sellers who are not PayPal verified : sometimes they just take your money and run.

What can you do to protect yourself? First of all, try to contact the seller. Ask him a simple question about the product. For instance, ask him what he means by “instant download” – instant, almost instant or instant after verification. If he doesn’t bother to answer your eMail before you bought the product, chances are remote that he will give you your money back. Also, pay attention to his answer – how helpful and polite is. I’ve had the unpleasant surprise to have my eMail bounced back – his eMail address was no longer valid.
Second, try to search on Google for a review of that product and / or that seller. Sometimes, you’ll read details you’ve never thought about.

Last, but not least, try to search on Google if that product is available free. I once wanted to buy a book from a reseller site, and I found out searching on Google that the original seller was given that product free.
