Ezinearticle reinstated my account and have given me 10 more submission for Basic membership. 10 articles have been submitted with 7 of them near the final stages. List has grown to 95, near the 100 mark. Wrote 2 more articles today and I had to delete 1 article so my article count is 37. I wrote my 5th follow up where I aim to introduce the subscribers to Internet marketing and this is my first attempt at affiliate marketing via email. The product is a free membership to a video course and hopefully the OTO will convert. I’m really looking forward to the new articles being approved as this is where the real results happen. Remember some of the opt ins are from adwrods.

I didn’t update yesterday because I didn’t a change 2 so I’ll cover 2 days worth of posts. You might have remembered from my last post that 4 of my ezinearticles were declined. I got an email from ezinearticles and basically they explained that they no longer accepted articles on that topic anymore. Fair enough so I deleted them. I’m on basic membership which allows 8 article submission, 4 have been approved but the 4 that were submitted which now have been deleted have “taken” the remaining 4 submissions. Right now I can’t submit anything even though only 4 have been approved. I’ve just sent ezinearticles an email so they can reset the remaining 4 submissions. My drafts box is full with 30 articles so I’m writing on a word doc for now until I have space to submit drafts. I wrote 2 articles yesterday and today, so my total article count minus the 4 deleted ones is now 36 articles. I have £6.51 in my adwords account left which should be exhausted I say in about a week or so, hopefully my EZ account is functioning by then.

About my list, the 4th follow up has now been sent and they all have been gambling related (free proven profitable systems), I think it’s time to slowly talk about the make money online niche. Even though many may disagree that if it’s gambling then stick to gambling BUT gambling in my opinion is not as “safe” as starting an internet marketing business. For example selling info products on ebay is easier and safer than gambling. I dunno how I’ll do it but this is my aim. Possibly sending free gifts promoting IM products should balance the fact that it’s not gambling related.

BTW my main adwords campaign is :

• How To Gamble Risk Free

  Free Amazing Report Withdraw £1556 From The Bookmakers. Legal Loophole

  www.noriskbets.com

keywords would have been “free bets” “arbitrage bots” “system bets” etc

It’s a risk I’m willing to take because I’m not very keen promoting gambling systems I’ve never tried and I don’t think I want to try anymore as my interest is internet marketing. The ones I have tried have proven to work but are UK based and there’s only so much I can promote. At most I can only promote about 2 systems because that’s what I believe in…what next after? Might as well try and bring them into “make money online”.

I won’t be going for the hard sell cause I know it’s not a good idea. Instead I know a few butterflymarketing style websites that giveaway free products. One of them is an audio product and its excellent. These butterflymarketing style websites have OTO (one time offers) and according to the owner, he says it converts at around 7.3%. Im going to wait till I get 100 subscribers then shoot out that email as the 5th followup and see how this pans out. It can’t be bad right because they are getting free content.

I created another video for my traffic ebook and loaded it onto youtube, we’ll see

4 of my 8 submitted articles have been declined, again theres are “general problem” I have no idea why. It might be my crap writing but I don’t think it’s that bad. Anyways I’m not gonna let that stop me so I will keep on writing articles until its resolved. 2 more articles have been written today. Yesterday I created a quick YOUTUBE video using windows movie maker with “call to action” and link in description aswell as video. Stats say that I had 1 visitor to my website from Youtube. Looks promising. So instead of just writing my articles and waiting around for ezinearticles to get their butts together. I will be making youtube videos. If 1 video gets me 1 visitor per day then 100 videos will get me 100 visitors per day (in theory). Here goes.
