Article Submit Auto Recommendation
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s been a while since I recommended a product and I’d like to share with you an outstanding program that I have been using for a few months now in order to improve my article marketing results.
The name of the program is Article Submit Auto by Dominic Tay and it is quite simply THE best article submission system that I have found.
So what’s so great about it?
Quite honestly it just makes the whole submission process straightforward and easy. I used to HATE submitting articles to article directories. It’s just so mind-numbingly boring. And then you have to decide which article directories to submit to.
Well ASA only submits to the highest PR and most worthwhile directories on the net including EzineArticles, Go Articles, ArticlesBase and 24 others.
And I’m all about simplifying each stage of this so yes, you have to get accounts with each of those article directories. Oh, and you can put in 7 different profiles for different niches so that would be 7 times 27 sites. No way Jose, not for me.
So I just nip along to fiverr.com and find someone willing to open all the accounts for me and five dollars and a day or so later I have a whole new profile set up. And if you use the same email and password for each of the accounts then you put it into ASA once and it autofills all the other cells, you click “check all” and ASA checks that it can log into each account!
And get this! You can also add your Onlywire details (social bookmarking account) and when you submit an article it is automatically submitted to the social bookmarking sites!! Awesome.
So you’ve set up your profiles and your article accounts – easy. Now comes the submission process.
And I haven’t even mentioned that it all runs in a normal wordpress dashboard so we should all know how to navigate round that by now 
Can you tell how much I love this program yet??
So we want to submit our article. But we know that we don’t want to submit the same article at the same time to all the directories. But with ASA you can either, submit a FULLY-SPIN READY article and it will submit a different one to each directory OR you can set it to submit to Ezine Articles first and delay submission to the others for as many days as you want.
Then it sends you a submission report direct to your email telling you if there were any problems with the submission process. If there was, you can just fix the problem and submit only to that directory.
The beauty is that if you are working in a few niches at the same time you can swap between profiles and each profile has its own settings including resource box, categories etc.
So if you are an article marketer, then you NEED this tool in your arsenal as I haven’t found anything that does it quite as well.

Where Are You Now?
Posted by: | CommentsWell, time continues to blow raspberries at me as it whizzes past my face and I notice that I haven’t updated my blog in almost 2 months.
How many times have I said that I need to change that?
Well, I’ll stop making promises but it is certainly my intention to post more often to my blog. In fact, I do a bi-weekly newsletter with some solid information that I really should have been putting up here as well.
All just goes to show that I am still learning as I go.
Well, it has been nearly 7 months since I quit my job to become a full-time self employed Internet guy. And if you remember that I quit when I wasn’t earning enough from IM to cover my wages but I felt at the time that it was the right move.
So how have things gone?
I can honestly say, that I have never regretted the decision but unless you have the available finances to cover yourself for several months then perhaps it wouldn’t be the right move for many folks.
And what has really surprised me is the amount of opportunities that come your way when you make the decision to commit to something.
In the last few months I have met some extraordinary folks and have been offered some incredible opportunities that I am continuing to work on.
I have expanded into the local business side of things and have seen some great things start to happen and this is an area that I want to expand on in the future as it is something that any of you can pick up and make a great, full-time living from.
I hope that I will be able to give you a lot more information as well as a workable system that will take you from A to Z as well as give you all the resources you need to make money from day one.
I am currently working on a product that will do this and I am even looking into a way that I can provide leads to you from the very start which would mean that you would have a fully functional business with income from the moment you purchase.
Exciting stuff!
And hopefully I can use my experience of quitting my job with very little money coming in and turning it into a success.
They say that 95% of people fail in IM. Well I took the choice that I would be in the 5% because failure was not an option and I am loving every minute of it.
I am a happier person, doing something I enjoy and I’m my own boss. My confidence is building and I can see only good things for the future whereas before I couldn’t see any real future!
And best of all, I have just spent the last 7 months with my wee lad, seeing him every morning, afternoon and evening and having an absolute blast.
My Danny Boy!
———————————–
I lived in fear of doing this for many years, panicking about money, about reputation, about, well, everything.
Then I reached a point where I couldn’t go on and I had to do it. And it truly has been the best decision I ever made so if this helps just one person who is struggling, to give them hope that things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Then that makes me happier still.
Enjoy these moments. They are all too fleeting!
Till next time.
Andy
