Article Marketing: How to Publish Your Way to a Stronger Web Presence

Article Marketing: How to Publish Your Way to a Stronger Web Presence
By Brandon R. Cornett

In this web-driven economy, its more important than ever to be competitive online.

But a website alone cannot give you the Web presence you need to capitalize on all that Internet activity. With an estimated 8 billion individual documents on the Web, a single website is like a needle in a haystack.

What you need is a way to be more prevalent online -- a way to put your message in front of consumers who use the Internet to search for products and services like yours.

From a marketing standpoint, your website should function as Web-Marketing Central. It should be optimized to capture leads or generate sales. But you can't do either of those things without driving qualified traffic to your website. And you can't drive traffic without a strong Web presence.

That's where article marketing comes in.

What is Article Marketing?
Article marketing is the process of publishing articles online through an article distribution site. Article marketing takes an educational approach to marketing, which is part of the reason it's so effective.

  • Traditional marketing says, Here's a product or service I want you to buy.

  • Article marketing says, Here's a product or service I want to educate you about. And by the way, I also provide it. You can learn more about it by visiting www...

Whats the Purpose of Article Marketing?
Article marketing can increase your online exposure, improve your websites search engine rankings, drive qualified traffic to your website, and position you as an authority in your field. Each of these things can help you capture leads or generate sales through your website -- provided your website is optimized for that purpose.

What are the Benefits of Article Marketing?

  • Website Traffic when your articles get republished on topical websites relevant to your product or service, they generate traffic to your website.

  • Search Engine Ranking article marketing generated relevant links from other websites to yours. Thus, it can improve your search engine ranking.

  • Positioning & Credibility when your articles get published on other websites (especially prestigious websites), you gain third-party credibility.

  • Simplicity & Cost article marketing requires no special software or equipment, just a computer with Internet connection. And the only cost you'll incur is your time and energy. Try to find rates like that in traditional advertising!

Conclusion
Here's a picture I want to leave you with:

John and Jane Doe go online to research topics related to your product or service. They use a search engine and enter a few key phrases. On the first page of search results, they encounter a couple of helpful, well-written articles that give them the exact information they were after. And at the bottom of each article, they find an About the Author note with your name and a link to your website.

That's article marketing!

Hero's Journey Monomyth (188 Stages) Screenwriting Tools Value of Structure

Hero's Journey, Monomyth (188 Stages) Screenwriting Tools, Value of Structure
By Kal Bishop

FORWARD

The 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979).

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

(simply go to http://www.heros-journey.info/ for full details)

*****First Threshold Trial*****

Past the Fish out of Water stage, the Hero always undergoes a Trial in the Outer Cave of the First Threshold, In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Clyde gets the groceries at gunpoint.

*****Hero Guardian*****

The Herald and Hero meeting is never quite as easy as it could be. There is always a block of some sort. Often Guardians block the Heralds from meeting the Hero. But obstacles can be expressed in many ways. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), the boys resist going into Joe's camper.
