I sent this out via email earlier today, but thought I’d share it here on the blog as well…
I’ve gotten spoiled by the beautiful weather we’ve had down here in the south over the past month or so. The past few days it’s been cold and rainy. As I’m writing this, there’s a severe thunderstorm rolling in (which means you may not get this until sometime this afternoon – I’ve got all electronics unplugged). While I certainly miss spending lots of time outside and sitting in my hammock chair under the tree of our beach house (here’s the picture I promised you on the right ), the big advantage of being stuck in the house is that I have a lot more time to work.
I’m going to take advantage of this by spending the next few days setting up a new product. It’ll be quick and easy (the weekend is coming up fast), because I’ll be using one of my favorite shortcuts … starting out with high-quality PLR.
I’m going to work on a list building course using “7 Ways To Build Your List in 30 Days” as a starting point. It’s a PLR product I picked up last week from Coaching PLR Content at:

I’d love to have you join me. Creating small info products that are quick and easy to put together is one of the best ways to grow your affiliate income… it sounds backwards, I know! But here’s the thing – If you can create one of these small products and start selling it, you are building a list of buyers. These same people will be a lot more likely to take you up on offers for affiliate products down the road.

As you know, I’m in the process of writing and publishing 100 articles. One of the reasons why is to get others to republish those articles to their own websites which will help get more traffic, expand my reach and build relationships with other website owners in my niche.
One of the things I’ve done (and recommend you do as well) is to promote my articles. One of the ways I’m doing it is via social media posts. Earlier this week, I made several post reminding people that they are welcome to reprint my Ezinearticles.com articles. A few hours later I got the following question from Dicia Ingalls on Facebook. It’s a great question so I thought I’d share it and my response with you today. The question is about how to republish articles.
As you know, I’ve been looking into kindle publishing more seriously lately. Last week I discovered something pretty interesting. You don’t need to publish anything to set up an Amazon author page. I was able to find 3 kindle books I am a part of (and am listed as an author) that would have been getting traffic to an author page all along had I taken the time to set one up … So guess what I did this past week?

I know it’s Friday and you’re used to seeing a Freebie here on the Affiliate Treasure Chest blog. Today I want to change things up a bit and share a great inexpensive read with you (99 cents) and talk about the concept behind it.
As you know, I’ve been looking a lot into Kindle publishing and am working on several small kindle ebooks. I’ll be blogging a lot more about it over the weekend and next week. Imagine my surprise when I logged into Facebook this morning and saw the following post:

As you know I’m a big fan of the NAMS conferences and the MyNams member area. I started out as a student a few years ago and am now proud to be part of the faculty.The only problem I have with NAMS is that there is so much too it, it’s hard to describe just what exactly you get when you join My NAMS.
Thankfully my friend Nicole Dean from NicoleOnTheNet.com came to the rescue and recorded a great walk-through video that shows you the member area. Take a look:

As you know, I’m participating in an article writing challenge with Connie Green. Things were going pretty well until this past week. My daughter was out for Spring Break and we spent the entire time at our beach house doing some more renovating and of course spending a good bit of time on the beach and playing / grilling in the back yard. I was hoping to get a lot of writing done during that time, but the good weather was just too tempting. That means it’s time to play catchup.
I just dropped off my daughter at school and have the house to myself until about 2pm. I’m going to use that time to make this a hyper productive writing day. Here’s the plan:
That’s about it. It’s time for me to get started. If you’d like to to join me, connect with me here, on Facebook or Twitter and we’ll cheer each other on.
P.S. If you’d like to follow along, I’m @susannemyers on Twitter and will be using the hashtag #hpwd . You can also find me on Facebook here.
As you know, I am participating in a challenge with my friend Connie Green to write 100 articles by June 1st. We are both using the new challenge feature within the new Ezinearticles.com member area to keep track. I’m doing pretty well so far with 10 articles published and 3 more waiting for approval. Take a look:
Since we’re doing all this writing, I thought it only fitting to publish one of Connie’s articles that she’s written as part of this challenge. In it she shares her strategy for writing articles that break down into 5 paragraphs. It’s a very clever idea I’ll be using quite a bit in the next batch of articles I’m writing.
By Connie Ragen Green
Writing articles is the first step to building an online empire that will build over time. Creating content on a regular basis can be done quite easily once you understand what to do. I use something I call the 5 Paragraph Model, where each paragraph builds to give you a well written four hundred word article.

Should you still bother writing and submitting articles to article directories in 2012? Absolutely… I don’t care what you’ve heard about the Google Panda update or who mentioned that Article Marketing is finally dead and gone. The truth is that it still works well to get traffic, build incoming links and helps you
Quality Over Quantity
The biggest change since the Panda update (and smaller more recent Google updates) has been that there is now a much bigger focus on quality. And that’s a good thing. Instead of having to sit down and crank out hundreds of crappy articles, spin them to the point where they are barely readable and then sending them out to 100s of article directories no longer works.

Happy Friday … we haven’t had one of those freebie Fridays here in a while. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this week’s. Since we’ve been talking so much about list building this week (with the exception of the article marketing challenge I blogged about yesterday), I thought I’d share a freebie along those lines with you today.
Introducing the List Building Blueprint …
This is a little different from the other downloadable freebies you’ve seen here. It’s a pdf, so it’s quick and easy to download, but instead of the usual report, it’s a one page mindmap that walks you through the process of building a list. Each hyperlink in the blueprint is clickable and links to more detailed information.
List Building Blueprint (Pdf)
I use this one page document as a roadmap or cheat sheet every time I set up a new list.
P.S. If you’ve found this helpful feel free to link to this post or share it on Facebook and Twitter.
My friend Connie Green is getting me in trouble – in a good way. Here’s how it all got started … Yesterday I got an email that Connie sent out to her list. She shared how she wrote 100 articles a few years ago and how this has impacted her online business. She took that past success as motivation to go out and do it again. And I’ve decided to join in.
How does that spell trouble? I’ve tried writing 100 articles in 100 days a few times, and frankly I never quite make it. I do well for a few weeks and then start to get behind and eventually throw in the towel. But something Connie shared, is going to make all the difference for me. You see, I’m more of a project person. I like to sit down, get something done and then move on to something else. If I have to sit down and write an article every morning, I eventually get bored with it.
Connie mentioned something interesting in her email (I’ll share parts of it with you in a minute). She mentioned that it only took 78 days to write the 100 articles. That gave me an idea for a different approach to this 100 article project. I am going to break it down into 10 article chunks and then chip away at those as quickly as possible.
