Article Ghost Writing Since 2001

Will Never Make Any Money With Article Marketing !!!
After nearly a decade of providing article distribution services to my paid customers, I have seen just about everything that is good and bad about article marketing. I have seen what works, and I have seen what does not work.
I have seen what the Article Marketing charlatans are trying to sell, and I have seen people lose their proverbial shirts trying to play the Internet Marketing game.
The Truth Is That Article Marketing Can Be Very Profitable For You,
~OR~ Article Marketing Will Drain Your Bank Account...
The Beauty Is That YOU Get To Decide Which...
If you doubt for one second what I am telling you, I want you to use your mouse to hit the BACK button on your browser.
What We Offer
We have been providing our clients article ghostwriting and article distribution services since March of 2000 --- since September of 2001 as The Phantom Writers.
We are not the typical Article Distribution Company...
We do not send your articles to a lot of Article Directories. If you want someone to send your articles to hundreds of Article Directories that may or may not be approving articles or have any traffic to speak of, there are more than a dozen other companies who will do that for you.
Submitting articles to Article Directories is a passive method of advertising your articles to publishers, because you make your articles available to publishers, then you wait, hoping someone will jump through the hoops necessary to find your article.
When you send your article to an Article Directory, your article is just one among 100's or 1000's of new articles for the day.
Once your article has disappeared into the inside of the directory, publishers seeking content must be able to drill down into the site to find your article among the thousands of other articles in that website.
Our approach to Article Distribution is very different...
Instead of sending your articles to a lot of Article Directories and waiting for someone to come to the directory to find your article, we employ a more active method of advertising your articles --- sending every article directly to the website and newsletter publishers most likely to publish your articles.
If you are looking for the cheapest Article Distribution Company, then keep looking, because we are not it...
However, if you are hoping to find higher quality publishers for your articles, then keep reading... We can help you...
The other guys are cheaper, because they offer a Do-It-Yourself approach to Article Marketing. You will put your article into their forms, and if a particular directory like Ezine Articles rejects your article, then you are just tough out of luck, because the other guys rely on their Article Distribution Systems to be fully automated --- driven entirely by software, after their editors have approved the articles.
Although we use some automation, we offer a Hands-On approach to Article Marketing. We will put your articles into our forms and make sure that everything is prepared correctly.
We do not expect you to understand industry best practices, nor do we expect you to figure it out as you go. With our experience, we are able to prepare your Article Submission in such a way as to ensure that more newsletter publishers and webmasters will find your article to mirror what they want in an article.
If there is a major problem with your article, we will send you a direct email, explaining the problem and offering solutions to help you get the best results from your articles.
We will prepare your Article Submission, so as to prevent you from making a lot of those newbie mistakes that new Article Marketers frequently make.
During the Article Distribution process, we consider the human intellect to be an essential element of the process, because we know that computer systems cannot be expected to understand the nuance that suggests that one article in one category might have an interest outside of the defined category for the article. For example, that Law Of Attraction article might be appropriate in the Business and Self-Improvement categories.
Yes, you can get Article Distribution Services cheaper with other companies, but you will not get the kind of service we offer from those cheaper Article Distribution Companies. Their prices are so low that they cannot afford to give you any level of personalized service.
While our Article Distribution Services may be more expensive than the other guys, it is still very affordable --- especially when you take into account the revenue that a single article could generate for your business.
Why You Would Want To Use Our Article Distribution Service
We have already outlined some of the reasons why you might want to use our Article Marketing Services above, but there is more to share.
In the right-hand sidebar of this page, we have listed the names of more than one hundred of our Article Distribution clients. You might want to take a look at that list to see whose names you might recognize. This is useful, because if you know any of our clients by name, then you will likely know them through the articles that they have presented to publishers. And if you know them as a result of an article they wrote, chances are that we distributed that article for them.
Publishers have come to expect that we present the kinds of articles that they want to publish --- at a level of quality that is better than they find elsewhere. As a result, publishers tend to pay closer attention to the articles we make available for reprint.
This means that the chances of your articles finding higher-quality publishers is greatly enhanced, through our article submission service. (Click Here to see the kinds of publishers, who have published articles that we distributed for our Article Distribution Clients.)
Few if any of our competitors can suggest that articles they distributed found publication in the Wall Street Journal Online, Web MD, About dot com, or even the National Business Association websites.
The caliber of publishers who have published articles we have distributed is impressive.
When you create articles that appeal to the wants and needs of readers, you will discover that more publishers will be inclined to reprint your articles, because your articles also appeal to the wants and needs of the publisher --- to attract and keep readers.
When your articles are of good quality and those articles appeal directly to the wants and needs of publishers, you will find that your articles will find audiences of a scale that you may have never known before today.
If you provide us the caliber of articles that our publishers desire to publish, you will find that you will be able to reach more and more readers, who are very likely to buy what you sell.

Look at it this way, the more you buy, the more you save.
For a Number of Years, People Have Said
The Only Purpose of Article Marketing is to Build Backlinks
to your Website, To Influence Your Rankings In Google...
If I had believed all of these years that the only role of Article Marketing was to serve Google, then I would be turning away 2-of-every-3 of my 22,000 unique visitors --- every month!
I like receiving the additional 14,600 visitors that my website gets every month, from people who did not use Google to find my website.
But let me ask you a very important question...
If you put all of your proverbial eggs into Google's basket, and if Google does not give your website top search engine rankings - How long do you think that your business would survive without any traffic or sales?
I have always recognized the value of Article Marketing in the Google Ranking Game, but I have always viewed Top Google Rankings as a BONUS of my Article Marketing activities. Serving our master Google has never been at the top of my Article Marketing agenda.
Instead, Top Rankings in Google is Goal #3 in my personal Article Marketing Strategy. (Yes, I actually use my own service to promote all of my own websites.)
Goal #1 - I want to reach large audiences of people who are likely to buy my products or services.
Goal #2 - I want to get my links on web pages that people actually read, so that I can siphon some prospects from high-traffic, third-party websites.
The first two goals, when met, will help me make money from my Article Marketing activities now and into the future.
Once my first two goals have been achieved, then I will be prepared to drive traffic to my website and to generate sales from targeted prospects for years to come, regardless of what Google may or may not do with its algorithms.
The sales generated from Goal #1 and Goal #2 will take care of my business' immediate cash flow needs.
Over the years, I have developed thousands of Page One and Page Two Rankings in Google's search results. Those Top Google Rankings drive additional visitors to my websites, visitors who may become my customers. Regardless of anything Google might do to change how it values websites in its search index, my Article Marketing activities will always be profitable for me, because I put income generation --- instead of Google --- on the front end of my Article Marketing Strategy.
Even With This Knowledge In Hand, If You Are One of the 90%,
You Will Fail With Article Marketing As Others Have Done...
The Internet is a Democracy. Just as you have the choice as to what kinds of content you want to put on your website, others also have the same choice.
Those publishers, whom you and I need to publish our articles, have Free Will and Free Choice to decide what article content they will publish. They have the right to choose to publish the articles we make available to them, and they have the right to choose not to publish the articles we send to them.
To Publish or Not To Publish... Publishers have the right to decide what content will be featured on their websites or not.
Sure, there are some Article Directories that will take any and all content sent to them, but the Article Directories that have withstood the test of time by making a profit are a bit more choosy about what content they will and will not accept for publication.
But, non-directory websites make it a point to hand-select the kind of article content that they believe will help them to be profitable in the long run.
That is why we are all in business, isn't it? To make a profit from our business endeavors?
If Publishers Have The Freedom To Choose What They Will Publish,
Shouldn't We Try To Give Them The Kind Of Content They Want?
Publishers do not exist to serve us. Publishers exist to serve the audiences that will help them to earn a profit.
In order to keep their audiences happy and coming back for more, publishers must put the wants and needs of their audiences ahead of the wants and needs of everyone else.
As Article Marketers, we fill a very important niche in the marketplace.
As Article Marketers, we have the opportunity to provide publishers with the article content they need to satisfy the wants and needs of their audiences. In return for the time or money that we spend writing and distributing an article, we have the opportunity to reach large groups of people, who want to read what we have written.
In exchange for having helped the publisher give its audience the kind of article content that it wants and needs, the publisher will Thank Us by giving us what we want and need --- the ability to present our website, products, services and marketing message to their audience, through the Author's Resource Box --- the paragraph of information that follows the article.
Depending on the website or newsletter that has presented your article to its audience, regular advertising in the publication could literally cost tens of thousands of dollars, if you were to contact them directly for advertising rates. However, since you have provided your article to them, without cost, you will have the ability to advertise your business in their publication, without any cost to you (beyond what you have spent to write and distribute your article).
There are very few online advertising opportunities available to us --- like Article Marketing --- that will give us the ability to reach so many prospects for so little of an investment of our time and money.
There is one publication that I have been published in 26 times in the last five years --- a publication that charges its advertisers $10,000 an issue.
After spending an average of 5 hours to write each of 26 articles, for a total of 130 hours, plus the time spent distributing 26 articles, the publisher has rewarded me with advertising that would have cost me $260,000, had I gone through the normal channels to buy advertising in the publication.
I have generated in excess of $10,000 in sales from several of these articles, after they were published in this one publication. One of the articles, generated $16,000 in revenue for my business and $22,000 for the company that had hired me to write the article that presented its service in a good light, circa 2006. (It was a good service, so the good things that I said about the service were things I honestly believed. I still use that service to this day.)
My own results are not typical. Although I achieved these kinds of results with my own articles, 90% of the people reading this page will never make a dime from their Article Marketing activities.
What It Takes To Be One Of The 10%
Who Will Be Successful With Article Marketing...
Are You Really a Ten Percenter? Review the following list to learn more...
- Do you write articles that appeal to the wants and needs of your readers? - If you thought no one would ever read your articles, then you are likely part of the 90% who do not currently make money with article marketing.
- Do you keep the spotlight of the article shining on your reader? - People are reading your article, because they want to know how you can help them. If you keep the spotlight of your article on what your readers want and need, they will read your article to its conclusion.
- Do you write articles that would appeal to the wants and needs of the publishers, who have large and loyal audiences? - Webmasters and Newsletter Publishers are the gatekeepers, who stand between your marketing message and their audiences. You have to win the publisher's approval, before you will ever reach their audiences.
- Do you create titles that will grab people's attention and tell them what the article is about at the same time? - Your article's title is the one, most important element that will determine whether someone even opens your article to read it.
- Do your articles flow from beginning to end, taking the reader to from the title to your author's resource box? - Getting your article opened is the first most important step, but once you get the reader into your article, you want to get them to the end of the article, so that they can see your marketing message in your author's resource box.
- Does your author's resource box keep your reader focused on what you can do for them? - If you have successfully carried your reader from the title to the resource box, you don't want to lose the reader's interest, just before you ask them to click your link.
- Do you create interest and offer a compelling call-to-action in your author's resource box? - Here is your moment to shine. People care primarily about what you can do for them --- so answer the WIIFM question: "What's In It For Me?" Tell your readers why they should "want" to visit your website, and give them a compelling reason to do so.
- Do you seek an audience that is beyond Google's search algorithms? - Are you a slave to Google, struggling to receive your master's approval? If your master (Google) does not shine its spotlight upon you, how will your business ever survive? How long can your business survive without traffic and sales? If you are a slave to the whims of Google, then you are part of the 90%. But if you seek an audience beyond Google, then you have the potential to be one of the 10%.
- Do people feel a desire to Thank You for having written the article? - The people reading your articles are your prospective customers. If you have written an article that appeals to them, they will feel a sense of wanting to thank you for having written it. When people are in that thankful mood, they are more likely to read about you, visit your website, and to buy what you are selling.
- Do you recognize that all advertising methods require the commitment of repetition? - Article Marketing is a form of Advertising. And all forms of Advertising work best when matched with repetition. Think about radio and television advertising. Through repetition, we learn the names of the companies who are offering products and services to us. Often the goal is to have their marketing message in the consumer's mind, when that consumer is finally ready to buy what they are selling.
Whatever the advertising venue, sometimes people will buy on the first exposure to a product or service, but more often, the consumer will need to be exposed to the product or service several times before they make the decision to purchase. Yanik Silver suggests that 83% of consumers will buy on the 2nd to 8th exposure to your offer.
If you answered "No" to 2 or more of these questions, then you are likely a Ninety Percenter. A Ninety Percenter is someone who is Likely to Never Make Money with Article Marketing. If you are a Ninety Percenter, that does not mean that you will never make money with article marketing, it simply means that you have not yet decided to reach for your true potential.
If you answered "Yes" to all of these questions, then you are likely a Ten Percenter. A Ten Percenter is someone who has shown the promise of being able to Make a lot of Money with Article Marketing.
