What! Another Articles Directory?
Shalom Guest,
As I set down to start this "How To" article I want you to know that the reason I have placed it here in this "Public" section instead of the "Authors" section is because the "Authors" section can only be viewed by my authors and no one else and seeing as this article will be explaining "How To Become An Author on eBB" it only makes sense that it be viewable by the largest possible audience.
First of all let me make one thing clear... This site IS NOT an articles directory, as such... Let me explain. An articles directory will let just about anyone post articles to it even if the "Authors" are complete idiots and know nothing about the subject they are writing about. All they have to do is not write about themselves or write their articles where they sound "Self Serving" in any way, for the most part.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying that there are not any good articles inside these articles directories but there are sooo many people submitting articles to them that folks are drowning in a sea of information, and in some or perhaps most instances a lot of miss-information, so your article's chance of being found & read is, what I like to call, slim & none.
By the way, Guest, I do know what I'm talking about concerning the quality of these articles most people write as I used to own a website I called "ArticlesInDemand.com" and the last time I was in the back office (before I closed it down) I had over 2,000 authors and somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 articles I was trying to struggle through reading/scanning and approving or disapproving, as the case may be. By far the majority of those articles were nothing but pure trash (SPAM type articles).
Their authors depended on me being overwhelmed so I would just let them be posted to the site in batch instead of reading all of them. This batch approval method is not what I did nor do which is why there were so many still pending when I decided to close the site down, last year.
I still have the early predecessor of this new idea we are discussing right now located here {opens in a new window}. I don't do much with that site any more because it is simply to much work for very little return & I believe it's simply not conducive to my business or anyone else's.
The script that runs that articles directory used to occupy the place where I have installed this script at. The site is still active but I limited the authors to only a select few which turns out to be two authors.
That site has somewhere around 500 to 1000 authors wanting to submit articles to it but I just ignore them 'cause I am tired of the trash most people submit.
So, how do you become an author at eBzznessBasics.com??? Well that question will be answered now.
How To Become An Author on eBB
The way to become an author of eBizznessBasics.com is to first decide it's worth your time to be an author with us and then you must be willing to spend $10.00 per month to have the privilege of becoming one of our authors. This is the introductory price.
I know, I know! You could go anywhere on the Internet to any articles directory and become an author for free but then you would have the problems I've already discussed with you.
Why should you give me, or anyone else for that matter, any money to do this? Well, it's simple really... I'm going to help you make money from your articles you submit here.
Guest, if you will go to almost any articles directory and select any article you will notice that the site owner has put their google adsense ads all over that article's page and the only one who makes any money from those ads is the owner of the site. The author get none... zero... nadda... ziltch... not one bit of it. Any revenue that comes as a result of someone clicking on those ads in the authors articles is the site owner.
They don't even let you speak about yourself or your business in those articles. Just in your sig line.
Guest, I'm going set your profile up so that your picture/Avatar is seen on every article you submit and make your name link to your profile which you will set up separate to the basic profile on the site.
An example of this can be seen in this article that you are reading right now. Look at my picture and then look at my name under the title of the article. Those automatically appear within each article I post unless I set a code within the article, myself, telling the script not to use them.
In this profile will be listed every article you submit here and you will be able to tell about your ebizzness(s) within your profile page, too.
I will set up a script which you will use when you submit your article(s) and it will contain your Adsense ad codes in it so that any ad clicks that your articles receive will go to you, the author. I have a script in place, right now, that will allow this to be done. See my Adsense ads in this article?
I have set up a script to be used in the articles which will make it so that you can ask people to follow you on Twitter from within your article, itself.
Check this out... Follow @frankshrum on my Twitter page.
That's what yours will do, too.
After I see what kind of quality I can expect from you, Guest, I will allow you to submit your articles and they will go live, immediately, on the site in the directory appropriate for them.
Do you see how I keep on mentioning your name in this article (provided you're a member & logged in, otherwise it says Guest)? I will give you a code that you will place inside all of your articles so that you can personalize them to your readers just like I have personalized this article to you.
Notice yourself how different you feel about what you're reading when you see your name right in the article? It makes you feel like the article was written especially to you and not just to anyone. Now, Guest, I dare you to find that benifit anywhere else on the Internet in a regular ol' article directory.
I will continue searching for more incentives to give to you, my authors, in order to make this an even better deal than it is right now.
I believe that if a person is willing to pay money to submit articles then they will be more diligent to write high quality articles without a lot of the crap some people like to put in them and this will, in turn, help others to learn the real information they seek when they read an article.
As an author, what I believe that you are telling the world by paying your hard earned money to have your articles posted on this site is that you are a quality author and you have something real to say and that you are willing to invest in your marketing and writing efforts.
Quality is what the article marketing & Internet marketing fields are missing and I think it's high time that the real marketers start being noticed and they start getting paid to do so.
For the time being I have put a PayPal button on the left side of the page where folks who want to become an author on eBizznessBasics.com can be able to subscribe and get started submitting their articles A.S.A.P...
Follow @frankshrum from my Twitter page, Guest.
Shalom, Frank
