So the question is: Should you pay $67 for Unique Article Wizard.

Well, it all depends. It depends of your objectives, of your goals, of your plans, and it mainly depends if you are broke or not…

If you are broke, if you have no money, if you are just starting: DO NOT BUY IT.

Why am I saying this? Because if you don’t have the resources everything Unique article Wizard does, or any other Article marketing tool does, you can do it yourself.

Will it take longer? Sure it will.
Will it be a pain in the *ss ? Sure it will.

But the important point is that you can achieve the same results.

So why am I saying this? Because I feel a bit sick and tired of lame internet marketers, wanna-be millionaries that keep feeding the bellies of the marketing-product-makers, just to earn a miserable and lame comission. I’m sick of reviewers that don’t have the courage to say that a product is crap, just because they are scared not to make a sales comission.

Article marketing products are great to speed up your article marketing process. That’s it. None of them will give you internet marketing NIRVANA. None of them will bring you thousands of visitors in just one month. What 1waylinks, Unique Article Wizard, Article Marketer, Article Marketing Automation and other tools are is… that, TOOLS. Just tools. Not magic bullets, or “The secret to unleash traffic”.

So wich is the right tool for you? God knows and for sure I have no idea. The best thing that you can do is research and have a very clear menthality about how serious you are about your own website traffic, about your business  and how much time and money you are willing to invest?

Personally I spend over $200 per month in Article Marketing tools, I love many of them, they make my life a bit easier and it gives me more time to go for walks on the beach with my German Shepperd and to take my 3 year old boy to the park.  Are this marketing tools my only link building strategy? No, off course no. I also work link building 10 to 12 hours per day…

So it is not the tools that bring ranking or traffic or even revenue. It is hard work, the right mentality and not giving up…

have a great weekend guys!

Well, this is my first video… I hope you understand my “spanish” accent.

In other words it will reduce the work of a whole day or more in just few hours or even minutes. It is a wonderful thing that can be perfectly done with the use of Submit Jedi.

Is Unique Article Wizard perfect? No, no really… but at the end of the day, I’m not searching for something perfect, I’m just looking for something that does the job.

So what about success? Any proof the Unique Article Wizard words? well, I decided to buy a “aged” domain and test Unique Article Wizard. I’m not going to tell you about the thousands of dolllars I made…  ( lol ) I just want to point the basics.

The backlinks produced by Unique Article Wizar seem to be “counted” pretty fast enough. I send 5 articles and in 15 days later, I already had 62 new back links to my site. Not bad.

Fantastic? Am I crying of hapiness…
No.
but good enough for the service.

What I like of this system is that there is no B*ll sh*t involved and the articles get send fast and from 42 articles I have send, only one was stopped by the editors. The reason? I sent a 100% pure garbage article without any real content or structure.

Conclusion? The people behind Unique Article Wizard seem that they are doing their job and so far, the links keep generating some small traffic and more important seem to increase slowly but surely, the ideal “increase” of ranking.

As any Internet marketer, or Article Marketing Jedi, you have too understand that semi automatic tools or even automatic submission tools are like humans, they are full of qualities and defects. Life in the offline world, with tools and software, you need to do a balance and understand where the balance ends when you compare, the qualities, defects and the quality/value of applications you use. I have use many applications and sometimes, us, Internet marketers, futures Marketing Jedi, fall in love like teenagers for new services out there. Some time our love is based on the optimistic idea that the services described will really work, and that the power of the application will take our back link goals to a new level.

But like teenagers, we quickly realize that life is complicate and that teenager love usually never ends in long term love.

So today I want to talk about Article Marketer, and my “rolly coaster romantic” relation with this service/site. Article Marketer is one of that sites that offer 2 types of services, free and premium. The free is simply horrendous service, where users suffer and struggle to get their articles review and publish in the Article Marketer network.

So how Article Marketer works? Well, in theory is is a pretty standard and easy to use service. You add your article in a 1 page form and your article gets review and then publish in a generous list of directories, blogs, sites.

Article marketer allows you to add anchor links in your resource box (well, that is why we use this type of services). and once your article gets schedule to be publish, you can be sure, you will see your article being published fast enough in more than 100 affiliate sites, working with Article Marketer.

So, so far so good… until then my love relation with Article Marketer was perfect.

In the beginning, like with a new girlfriend, I decided to commit to pay a “premium” membership for 3 months. Total cost : $97 dollars. Not bad if you consider the true potential of the service described.

So does Article marketer works?

In the true sense of the word: Yes it does…

but to make it work, you need be ready to suffer, loose some kilos and get ready to scream and share some tears.

The first step that stops your happiness when you send your article to Article Marketer submission form is what they call the instant Edit system. The instant edit will detect any problems you may have with your article, like stranger characters or code (usually a common problem when you just copy and paste your article from Ms Word). The instant-review-edit system is pretty OK, it is an automatic system that stops your article to be really submitted to the editors.

So so far, so good.

Once your article has passed the automatic system, the painful process of being review by one of Article Marketer editors starts, and when I mean painful, just think of putting hot needles in your eye balls…

The review and approval of Article Marketer staff is one of the main reasons why this service has lost so many customers. In some stages you feel, they really don’t care that you are paying for the service and their support level and flexibility to resolve individual cases is pretty small. The group of editors usually will stop your articles if they decided that your article is

a) boring

b) it talks to much about one brand

c) it doesn’t have an interesting title.

So this is when things get difficult, because then you are playing a different ball game. What exactly means boring for these guys? Is this a Article Submission service or a Editorial - Publishing Service.
Because when I use an article submission service, I usually want one thing: to get my articles submitted, and not to have a “ping-pong-email-chat” about how to improve my articles so my readers will love me more than ever.

The funny thing of the whole review-editorial process is that sometimes the reasons why refusing an article are simply absurd.

I sent an article over 6 months ago about : The history of LEGO company

The article was refused because “It talk too much about just one brand” - Please included information about other products and companies in the same sector.

What????

This will be the same as “Your chicken Kiev recipe talks too much about chicken, please also include some fish and meat recipes”.

The problem that this brings to the Article Marketer solution is that every time they refuse or stop your service, then you have to wait, 2 to 3 working days for the next review, revision, notification, making the submission of some articles to take over 2 weeks in some cases.  Ping-pong-ping-pong and at every single stage you feel like there is no real human being reading and reviewing your article. The process is so painful that more quickly than normal you start hating each time you get another “Editorial” notification from Article Marketer.

In my case I purchased the 3 month membership and I continue with Article Marketer for over 6 months.

Did I get results? Yes (at least I think so)

Did I used Article Marketer in it’s full advantage? I don’t think so. Mainly because the submission and approval process was just ridiculous . If you are serious about Article Marketing, you understand that time is money, the more time you have the more use of your energy you can put in new submissions, in new link building process. For me Article Marketer became more like that childhood friend, that you still hangout with, but deep inside you don’t like…

There are many services out there and I think I have used and paid for all of them, Isnare, 1waylinks, Article Marketer, Article Marketing Automation and now we have a new player on the Article Marketing Board: Online marketers please meet Unique Article Wizard.

Unique Article Wizard costs $67 per month. It is more expensive that many of it’s competitors, but the difference you pay, can be easily justify with the features this FERRARI uses .

Yes, Unique Article Wizard is pretty much a Ferrari, a red, fast, sexy Ferrari, with a big and lovely engine, ready to give you some large amount of backlinks.

The thing that I love or Unique Article Wizard is the details, more than the number of directories that my articles are being distributed.

Unique Article Wizards created seemed to understand that Internet Marketers THINK, that we use our brain and the we want to know what’s going on with our Articles. That’s why UAW offers a very precise and smart way to control your campaigns, to know how many articles have been distributed and to track where your articles are being published.

Before sending your article, you know how many articles directories will get your article based on it’s niche and you can even setup the schedule date for your article to be sent and the ratio/speed you want your article to be distributed.

So how many articles directories your article will be published in? Well, it depends of your niche.
If your niche is “pets” you can have your article send to 650 directories, but if your article is about “travel” you may have your article published in 800 or 900 Articles instead.

Unique Article Wizard, comes with an interesting tutorial, full of documentation and some interesting bonus and extra tools. Using it takes a bit to get used to the interface, but once you understand how the system work, sending one article takes less than 5 minutes.

So, how good is Unique Article Wizard? Well, so far, it is looking pretty dam good. I will be posting more indepth information once I can see some results and start getting some reports of my first article marketing submissions.

Yes, most often the goal of every article is to inform and sell. What product? It depends. Many have seen the potential of making big in the world of the Internet where you can reach other parts of the world with just a click of the mouse. Viola! Thousands and even millions of people are reached with an article or two.

Article marketing is not purely marketing per se. It is giving a valuable information that will be of great help and at the end persuade the reader to purchase the product or hire the service of a certain company.

What is spending 1 hour or two in writing a very rich article that will always be there on the net 24/7 creating you potential visitrors, and obviously more and more backlinks…

If you know how to jumble two words and come up with an interesting article, then let’s start!

Here are the basics to help you start with article marketing:

Keywords. Yes, the most important set of words you should always remember. These words play a vital role on your article as the different search engines see it. Keywords usually consist of around 2-3 words that are common and what people do always key in on search engine box when they are looking for information on the net.

Format. It is all with the format, how you key-in and mix the words, etc. Most importantly make sure the keywords are strategically placed within the article to maximize its visibility to the search engines.

Content. Most of the authors, entrepreneurs and bloggers do write articles for the sake of having a good page rank with regards to the search engines, not putting emphasis that the readers do have eyes and intelligence to know what is a good content compared to crap. As much as the article should have good ranking, it must also relay valuable information.

Resource Box. This is where article marketing is. A resource box should contain call to action lines, links to the website being promoted related of course to the article written, most importantly copyright information. Resource box is always placed at the end of an article.

Article Directory. An article will be nothing if it is not on the net. Submission of the article to an article directory is the last step of article marketing. This is where web promotion starts.

(this is obviously when you are looking at Article marketing to increase your reputation and not just your backlinks)

Make your readers feel very important when they are reading your piece. That means teaching them what they want to learn about your niche. If you need to simplify jargons, do so. Don’t think about how much you know about your niche. Think about what your readers what to know about it.

Here are four tactics you can employ to convert your readers into long-term clients.

1. Cater to your readers’ interest. For example, if you are selling scuba diving watches products. Then you want to write something about the importance about having a good dive watch when you go diving, and why every diver that really knows about scuba diving should have a good dive watch. May be you should also recommend your favorite dive watch, etc.

2. Hold your readers attention by writing exiting title and powerful introduction. Give some time to write these two sections in your article because online readers don’t want to hold Web article longer if what they read in the introduction doesn’t sound important to them. Be personal at the same time formal when addressing a particular problem in your introduction for example. Remember that your introduction contain what your readers should expect to know should they continue reading.

3. Lay everything you know to your readers in a concise and easy to read and understand sentences. Anticipate the possible questions your readers might ask about your topic and address them in your article. Remember that your readers are after useful information; they are not after sales pitch. Lay some beans about your business every once in a while also.

4. Don’t bore your readers with dull sentences. Make your writing exiting to make your readers feel they’ve learn something at the end while being entertained at the same time. Writing attention grabbing articles require practice, but strive hard to develop the skill. And always make sure to end your article with a bang – or a good summary will do.

At the end of the day, remember that the number one aim of article marketing is to impart information to people. Do not think about your service or product while you write your piece. Think about what you can impart to your readers that can make an impact to their lives – even if it means buying your service or product at the end.

To begin with, a resource box is a concise 5 to 6 sentences paragraph that contains your bio and the link back to your website. The importance of a resource box is to give your readers a way to find your website. If you can manage to beguile your readers with your articles, they will surely want to read more of your work, and the resource box is their gateway to trace you.

Here are the important parts of a good resource box.

1.  Your Bio. A good resource box contains a brief description of who you are and what you’re good at. Since the characters are limited, restrict what you have to write to include the most essential: your name, your expertise, and your URL.

2.  Your link back. A link back is your websites’ URL that you NEED to place in your resource box. Without this URL, your readers have nowhere to trace your website - thus putting your masterpiece to waste. Webmasters who loved your work also used this URL to place a link exchange of your website to theirs. in other words, without a link back to your site, there is little or no point in any Article marketing Strategy.

3.  Your newsletter subscribe opt in address. Maybe your readers will not buy your service or product at first visit, but they want to constantly hear if you have something new to offer. You should provide a way for your readers to receive regular updates from you.

4.  Any freebie sounds better in a resource box also. The word FREE is always welcome by everybody on the Web. Give something free to your readers and make it known through your resource box also.

Now that you know what resource boxes are and what to place in it, it’s time for you to learn how you can make it appealing to demand response. You can try the following techniques:

* Put keywords in your resource box. These keywords signal the readers of what they are going to find on your website.

* Anticipate your readers’ needs. Tell them what they want to hear from you. Place a slight taste of what they can get should they avail of your service or product.

* Use exiting words oi your resource box. This is your last chance to entice your reader to visit your website. Don’t waste it.

* Use words that are easy to understand. Jargons should not be found in resource boxes.

Even though resource boxes are small, they play a very important role in article marketing. The restricted number of characters you can fit in a resource box makes crafting resource box challenging, but you have to get it right if you want to succeed in your article marketing campaign.

And, advertising online business takes on a different technique also.

When you have an online business, the greatest mistake you can make is to sit around and wait for your customers to come to you. You have to put your website out to the greatest number of online users. In fact, it’s even more challenging to be noticed on the Web where business people with the same service or product as you have abound. You have to make your own stand out among the rest.

Effective article marketing can help you on this regard.

Article marketing stood first when it comes to introducing your service or product to your customers. It’s the most cost-effective way for your business to be known online. Article marketing does not follow the traditional promotional pitch we see on bill boards, papers, or TV. They don’t deploy powerful, convincing commons to the audience, but rather they help audiences understand why they need to know about the product. In a nutshell, article marketing aims to educate people more than anything else, and obviously every time you create an article and you submit the article you are creating a back-link to your site. Remember: The more back links the better.

The following are some DOs and DONTs when it comes to article marketing:

DOs

* Write concise, easy to read and understand informative articles. A 500 to 700 words article should do to impart your information to your readers.

* Write your articles as entertaining as possible without deviating from the purpose of educating your readers. Anticipate what your readers questions might be and answer them in your article.

* Spill the beans about your business. Give your readers some useful tips.

* Stick with your topic and talk mainly about the keyword you are trying to rank for.

* Remember that in any Resource box of an article you submit you can put your anchor link, be smart and use this as a GOLD resource. Remember, you can increase your name and reputation in your niche with Article Marketing, but you also want to increase your anchor links back to your site.

DONTs

* Put your articles on live without proofreading it. Not only are grammatical errors embarrassing (they could make you look stupid), they could also get you a potential dispute with your customers.

* Put too much sales pitch and self-importance. This is a big turn off to your readers; you want to be helping them instead of shoving something in their throats.

* Write long paragraphs, thus long articles. Write each paragraph short and be concise in your sentences.

* Writing poor headline or title. You want to capture your readers’ attention from the beginning. Your headline or title is your only chance to hold your readers’ attention.

* Don’t forget to add your link back to your site.

* follow the Guideline of each Article Directory, if you follow the rules, you have a bigger change of your article being published.

Follow these DOs and DONTs and you’re well on your way to succeeding in article marketing.
