The most powerful Marketing book ever written? Quite possibly!

I’ve just gotten an e-book copy of Mark Joyner’s classic book, “Mind Control Marketing”. I’ve wanted to buy this book for years, but I’ve never been able to get my hands on it.  Mark pulled it from print not long after it was released and until now… the only way to get access to this powerful marketing information was to buy a used copy on Amazon or eBay for several hundred dollars.

Seriously, the cheapest I saw it offered for was $249 on Amazon. As much as I wanted the book, and as much as I had been primed to want it, I just couldn’t justify paying that much for it.

Mark claims he took the book out of print because “money isn’t everything” and he didn’t want the information to fall into the “wrong hands”… So why is he “giving it away” for such a low price now? For me, purchasing Mind Control Marketing was an absolute “no brainer”. I expected to pay a lot more for it that I did.

So, is this the most powerful marketing book ever written or nothing more than a compelling title, excellent sales copy and a well orchestrated, long-term marketing plan?

Actually, I didn’t even read the sales copy… I just wanted this book so bad I scrolled right to the bottom of the page and paid… I was expecting to pay at least $97. In my opinion, he’s selling it way too cheap. I’ve paid more than $27 for 20 page ebooks. Mind Control Marketing is over 160 pages of powerful information. You even get the “secret chapter” - reputed to be more powerful than the rest of the e-book.

This chapter wasn’t even included in the print book. Mark took it out just before the book went to print because he thought it was too powerful. (I’ve read it, I know why he may have felt this way.)

The information in the book DOES live up to the hype… It’s basically step-by-step instructions on how to manipulate people and it COULD be used for ill will. Maybe it’s dangerous letting everyone know?

When it comes to releasing controversial information like this, I have always thought that it’s better out than in. The people who worry about it getting out are those who fear they will lose their own power if it does.

Once the information is in the public domain, the power of its dark side diminishes, but ethical use of the information remains unaffected. So, maybe the $27 price does show that Mark doesn’t think money is everything.  He has decided that this is something we should all know and made it affordable to the masses.

I think reading it will help you grow as a person, as well as making you a better marketer.

Article marketing is one of the primary marketing tactics alive today. The best part about marketing with articles is that it is easy to do and it is very effective done properly.

That is what I want to talk about, Article Marketing done properly…

I own and operate Article Bay Home, a word press blog article directory. I also use article marketing to promote myself online.

As I see people submit articles throughout the web, whether they are in directories, social networking sites, or where ever, I am seeing a trend that is causing a lot of peoples efforts to be wasted. If we are going to spend our valuable time developing strategies and writing articles, we want to get the most value out of our time and effort.

Make your marketing campaign successful by being aware of some of the most common mistakes made. Don't do this.

Unedited PLR Articles

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with PLR Articles, submitting them without editing them is not good practice. Many people will submit a plr article just as they received it. The problem you will run into is article directories, in most cases, do not allow duplicate content. You risk your submission being deleted, or your membership banned. Is it worth it? No… Edit your article and put it in your own words. After all, you are the professional.

Too Many Too Fast

Slow down! Be patient. Stop writing an article and then submitting it to numerous directories at once. So many people do this and they shouldn't. Doing this so quickly will cause a spike in your back links. This spike can be seen by the spiders as they pass through the web and they can mark these back links as questionable. All back links don't come from just directories any way, they will also come from those looking for good content for their websites. Webmasters search for good content. So take it slow and easy and let the webmasters help build your back links for you.

Automated Duplicate Content Software

Duplicate content software is great to use, however, automatic software can leave your article making no sense and unprofessional. You are a professional and you want your information displayed in a legible and professional manner. Go ahead and use automated duplicate content software spinners as much as you like, just do yourself a favor and go back and insure the quality of your content. Spelling and grammar go a long way. The best way to do this is to do it yourself.

Duplicate Content Same Site

Don't submit the same article to the same directory or social network. Need I say more?

Affiliate Links – Spam

Article directories and its readers do not want to be spammed! Do not submit an advertisement as an article. Advertisements have there own place. Article Directories are just that, a place to submit stories, news, educational information, reviews and more. Submitting this information loaded with affiliate links is against most directories policies. Doing so can get you banned from submitting your information. You can also create a bad name for yourself to your peers. Don't take that chance.

Poor Grammar and Spelling

If you are submitting articles, even just one, that makes you an author. Your article submissions go a long way in not only bringing traffic to your websites and publications, but also as branding your name with authority. Insuring that your work is well written and clean with correct grammar and spelling enhances your readers desire to continue with you. A poor grammatically written article can surely detour your readers and detour webmasters from using your articles as content reducing back links for you. Be a professional, write with authority.

Poor Content

In writing an article, if is important that you use content that is informative to your readers. Your readers will be reading your articles for multiple reasons. They may be looking for information to learn from. They may just enjoy reading about certain things or they may be looking for quality content to use on their own websites. It really doesn't matter why your readers are reading your content, if you do not know what you are talking about, or your work is poorly put together, you may loose some or all of your readers. That would be devastating. Know what you want to say, research it to know it and display and portray it well. You will have readers that come back for more!
