The following is a guest post by Donna Fontenot, better know as DazzlinDonna from seo-scoop. Pay attention boys and girls; if you’ve ever had a thousand ideas, but don’t know where to start (who hasn’t?), this is a good one .

Those who know me well, know that I have new site ideas nearly every day. Although I don’t act upon every idea that floats through my head, I do act upon quite a few of them. Occasionally, I’ll start a new site just on a whim, but I at least “try” to be sensible about it before starting one. Essentially, the smart thing to do before I waste time starting a new site is to determine several things:

1. Can the site make money - either while I own it or from selling the site later?

Hello Everyone,

This is something I thought I had all worked out until very recently.

Now, I won’t go into the entire in’s and out’s of how this has come to pass as that would sentence you to about a years worth of my brain activity.

YIKES!

Due to recent events I’ve had to make some choices and changes, both personally, and in business. It’s that whole work smarter not harder schtick…..18hr days at the laptop ain’t gonna do it anymore.

A brief background and I’ll summarize to the best of my ability; strap in, this could get bumpy…..

My “niche” if you will is coaching (advising, mentoring, whatever; I’m not a fan of labels) marketers in the Direct Sales/Network Marketing industries.

(I’ve been in direct sales/customer service in one form or another my entire adult life, and even before.)

That’s right folks, the original (nada there yet) is coming back around! This was the first blog I ever created and was supposed to be the first blog back up, once I took on new and final focus.

However, as I’m sure you can tell, this domain name is far better suited for my niche within a niche I have created here. DennisEdell.com, just wouldn’t do.

Since D.S.W.M. (this blog) and the one or two soon to follow are dedicated to strictly business, I have decided to dedicate DE.com to the “lighter side of business” so to speak…

Stories, Videos, Inspirational-Motivational, etc., and so forth. Things that you might normally find in *uncategorized” on a business blog like this one…taking this blog as a prime example, things similar to what you might find in the commentary category.

Make sense? Sweet!

Internet marketers have long used a variety of ways to usher targeted traffic to their web pages. Pay-per-click campaigns, email marketing, search engine optimization, and ezine advertising, just to name a few.

Niche Article Marketing is another ultimate Targeted Traffic producer…

There is a simple, effective method that many marketers have missed and continue to miss. That is submitting brief, 400 or 400+ word articles, so that they appear all over the Internet.

What are the advantages of niche articles?

1. They link readers back to your website.

The time and effort you spend on these mini-articles is a wise investment. Every article you submit contains a link back to your website. Every link helps your website gain link popularity, one of the factors in your search engine ranking.
