Are you a writer with an interest in Internet marketing and personal development and would like to be part of our Wonderful Web Team?

We are looking for a person to create articles, blog posts, e-books and follow up auto-responders for our own projects and those of our clients. Usually you will be asked to re-purpose existing content (for example take a transcript of an interview and create multiple content types from it) so there is rarely the need for research on the topic.

We’re looking for someone with experience and who has a business that can grow if we send you referrals. If you give great service and value to us then we will refer you to our clients. We need to know you are serious about ghost writing as your business because we need to know you can cope with any referrals we send you and still provide great service and meet deadlines for us and them (you may be able to tell here that in the past we have referred so many people to suppliers they stopped meeting our own deadlines!).

So please, if you like the idea of writing but it is something on the side, rather than your passion, please don’t apply.

The title of the book is law of Attraction in Action. Your article does not need to be on The Law of Attraction. Your article must give guides to taking ACTION. Part of the guidelines asks for 3 action points readers can take based on your article.

What if I have never written before?

That’s ok. Do the best you can and our volunteer editors will give you feedback if your work needs improving. Last year, many people wrote their first article / chapter ever and the quality was excellent. They had doubts before they started too.

Once I am a contributor does my name end up on the front page of Wonderful Web Women or is this another process?

No. Only our guest speakers are listed on the home page of Wonderful Web Women. You will be listed on the speaker feature page of Wonderful Law of Attraction.

Can you put YouTube links into book?

Sure. A suggestion is to take a screen grab of the video and then put this image in the book. We can then put the link to the video below the image.

What format do you need the chapter submission ?

We have provided a word template for you to use. Please use that as it will make it so much easier for us to put the final document together. Here is the link to download it.

What types of businesses would this be viable for

The topic has been chosen because you can twist it around to suit any business niche. You can talk about how to attract security when you are driving by including actions you can take to maintain your car. As long as the emphasis is on action and being the best you can be.

Contributing to the book will give me credibility but how else can it grow my business?

  • You will can put a link to your web site at the end of your article so readers will visit your web site
  • You can make a special offer to readers of your chapter that will entice them to come to your website and join your mailing list. A perfect enticement it a free ebook, audio or autoresponder course. Something they need to sign up to get. Then you can build on the relationship through your newsletter. Some people even offer discounts on services or free sessions if you don’t have a product.

Do I need to have a gift to giveaway to contribute?

  • No you don’t but I encourage you to as it will help you make the most of this opportunity

I don’t have time to write my chapter and set everything up for a free gift for readers. What can I do?

  • We’ve thought of a way to make this easier for you. If you have a description of your gift, great. Mention it at the end of your chapter. We have made it that all gifts will be listed on one page of a new website we will create especially for this book. It will be something like www.wonderfullawofattraction.com/gifts . We can add your gifts in January (or even later if you need to) so this takes the pressure off you.

Will the names/emails that are collected from those who want to download the ebook, and the names collected from the gift downloads be shared with the all of contributors? Will WWW have the entire list, and will this be shared?

There are 3 sets of people who can benefit from the distribution of this book throughout the Internet. Below is the way each party has the opportunity to grow their mailing list.

  1. All free and gold members of Wonderful Web Women: Everyone has the right to give the book away. You can give it as a gift to your existing customers or give it away on your web site in return for an email. They join through your email program. The page they are sent to after they join your list is on our special book site. They do not need to join our mailing list to download the book. This makes it easy for you because you don’t need to worry about how much hosting space is taken up when people download the book.
  2. Contributors: You can benefit as above but also you benefit when a complete stranger reads the book and decides to join your mailing list to take you up on your offer.
  3. Wonderful Web Women: The only time we get people on our list is if the reader wants to check out all the special offers each contributor has made. To access the gift page they need to join our mailing list.

is there an opportunity to also be an affiliate on this? Meaning promote and get a share of the revenues?

Yes. You can make money as an affiliate in 2 ways:

  1. This is a good time to promote Wonderful Web Women to your friends and customers using your Wonderful Web Women affiliate link. You can promote the opportunity to be a contributing author. You can join as an affiliate by logging into wwwomen, clicking on the affiliate link at the top and signing up. You will get your affiliate link. Our team has also created some sample emails you can use to promote this project. Simply look under the endorsement emails section in the affiliate tools area.
  2. When the book is launched it is given away for free. We will show you how to use the wwwomen affiliate link when you direct new subscribers to the download page for the book. If readers are so impressed with the quality of our contributing members they decide to join Wonderful Web Women – you get credited.

That’s it for the moment. Over the next month I’ll be sharing ideas on how to promote the book to build your business.

Cheers

Dominate the first page of Google – overview of the strategy

Why would you want to be on the first page of Google anyway? Google is the most popular search engine people use when they are looking for information (or products) on the Internet. If you can get on the first page of Google, you are pretty well guarantted to be high on the other search engines as well.

If you can be in the first 10 listings (out of often millions) for term people are searching for, then you are much more likely to get people clicking on the link to your site that is listed in Google. That means heaps of potential customers to your site – for free.

Cheryline Lawson has perfected a method to get your site listed on the first page of Google very fast, and multiple times. She uses techniques that many marketers are using separately and found the perfect way to combine them to really leverage the results. It’s the classic – “the sum of the parts is greater than the whole”, or however that saying goes :)

Here are the main components and over the next few days I’ll share details on each. Cheryline goes into heaps of detail in her book which is incredibly good value.

Press Releases

Press releases are written differently to articles. They should be used to promote something new. It may be the launch of a product, launch of your blog, an event that is happening online or offline or a comment on something topical. Cheryline shared details on how many words to include, how to use keywords and where to submit your release. I’ll share details this week and Gold members can download the recording in a few hours as well.

Social Bookmarking

If you have a look at this blog you will see there is a line of images called social bookmarks at the bottom of each post. These are web sites that people sign up for and list topics they would like to receive the most recent info on. You can submit your new press release to these book marking sites so people who want info on your topic will be notified. Even better, Google loves these sites as they rank highly (greater than 5 out of 10) for Google Page Rank. A site with a page rank of 10 gets the most visitors, a site with a page rank of 0, hardly gets noticed.

Blogs

Google loves blogs. You don’t paste your press release to your blog. You use different content and write short articles on specific topics in your niche. Cheryline finds writing reviews of products you are promoting as an affiliate works better than a general article. Creating blogs is also a great way to test the popularity of topics as you canbcreate ablog on each topic and measure the success without committing to a whole website and intensive blog.

RSS aggregators

An RSS feed basically means that the content you have written on your blog gets sent out to the search engnes immediately, and in a no-frills package which they love. Aggregators basically collect RSS feeds on specific topics and make it easy for people (and search engines) to get the info quickly. You can submit your blog to heaps of different aggregators just once, and then they will  be updated everytime you update your blog. An example is Feedburner . Cheryline has included a long lists of the best aggregators which you can gradually submit your blog details to.

The main basis of this model is to write content (as Press releases or articles) and then subit them to web sites that have a very high page rank. This means you will have high ranking sites linking back to you. These sites are the press release directories, the social book marking sites and the RSS aggregators. Simple but powerful when they are all combined.

Well, I say simple, but the important part to master is how to write the content in a way that search engines like and whwre and how to submity this content to the highest ranking sites so you can get links back to you. This is where Cheryline’s book comes into. She has done an incredible amount of research and documented it all. I’d hate to think how long it would take me to trial and test all this myself. Much faster to follow her steps in her book and get the results without the hard slog of researching. Thanks Cheryline!

Watch out this week as I share even more info. Gold members of Wonderful Web Women I really recommend you listen to the recording with a pen and paper – you’ll take heaps of notes.

Cheers

If you were on the call today with Cheryline Lawson I hope you took heaps of notes! Cheryline shared with us the method she has tested and perfected to get web sites ranked on the first page of Google in a matter of hours. But not just one place. She has shown how to get your site listed on the first page multiple times and how to stay there.

We covered a lot of advanced stuff so I will give an overview of her method today and over the rest of the week I will share with you more details on each step here on the blog. Actually spreading your blog content over many days, instead of all at once is one of the techniques Cheryline shares.

Cheryline’s book and her generous bonuses are excellent value and I do recommend you get them. Cheryline is very much a detail person and her book takes you step by step through the techniques she uses, with an incredible amount of links to the sites she recommends and detailed proof on how it works.  I have read through the book and am so impressed with the level of detail.

I suggest when you get it, you print it out, use a high-lighter and write yourself a to-do list as you go. Then break that to-do list up into bite size pieces because as Cheryline stressed, you don’t have to do it all at once. Work through the steps gradually and each step will get you results.

So here goes folks, Cheryline’s detailed method to dominating the front page of Google…..see this next post.

Cheers

4 Steps To Get Paid To Write Online

Today I interviewed Debbie Dragon about how to start a business as a ghost writer on-line. Debbie is a wonderful writer (I know as she is the ghost writer for Wonderful Web Women) with a fast growing business. She now helps other writers create a successful business using the Internet. Debbie has gifted us some fantastic resources to get started. These are usually only available to her paying clients but Debbie loves us so they are her gift to you. You can get them here:
http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/debbie .

4 Steps To Get Paid To Write Online

1. Know your goals

Debbie has gifted us her first e-class which helps you determine if you can work from home, what you will need and what type of business you are looking to create. You will need to approach this differently if you want to write for a few hundred dollars per month, or a few thousand dollars.

http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/debbie

2. Establish an Online Reputation

The nice thing about Debbie’s approach is you don’t need to have past clients to build a portfolio. Debbie recommends writing short articles on any topic you like and posting these to free article directories such as http://www.ezinearticles.com , http://www.isnare.com and http://www.goarticles.com .

At the end of each article there is a place for you to put your biography and links to your web page or blog (you need to get one of these). On your site have your contact details and further examples of your work.

3. Find Work

Debbie makes this easy too. In the gift Debbie has given us is a list of web sites you can go to that advertise writing jobs. You can apply here for these contracts. Deb had an important point to make. In her experience it is not the most experienced person who gets the job. It is the person with the best presentation. In Debbie’s Gold membership, she includes quite a few classes on how to present on-line to win.

You can also find work through bidding sites such as www.elance.com and www.rentacoder.com . This is where Debbie started but be warned. You will need to bid lower than you like to win jobs on these sites but it is a great way to start and get a quality feedback rating on these sites.

4. Find repeat business

Debbie recommended 2 industries which are “gold mines” for online writers. Internet Marketers and bloggers. Internet Marketers are great, especially if they are in the business of creating and selling e-books. You can expect to make between $200 and $3000 for an ebook, depending on the length, detail and amount of research needed. Internet Marketers know each other and refer.
Bloggers will need to have lots and lots of short articles written and it can be on some varied and interesting topics. You can find them by visiting blogs and forums that provide resources to help bloggers learn more about blogging.

Debbie recommends offering good clients in these industries a special price they can offer their customers. This makes them look good and also sends you new clients.

This is just a small fraction of what we covered today. The recordings will be available with 24 hours in the Gold members’ area. (poor Lisa needs to sticky tape together 3 recordings because the line dropped out 3 times AHHH!!!). Make sure you download the excellent gifts Debbie has given us. You can get them here: http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/debbie
