Byline creation: Discover 3 key points to making click-inspiring bylines.

…and to keep track of everything, I’ve also added:

Article Marketing Worksheet

Effective Article Marketing Efficiency Worksheet

This is a simple printable document that allows you to track your progress through the various steps. Each sheet has space for 10 articles. If you publish more than 10 each month, simply print out extra sheets.

Both documents, plus complete instructions have been put into a zip file (contents are 2 .pdf documents plus 1 .txt file). You are welcome to use these for your own personal use and to give the zip file out freely to your friends, colleagues, subscribers and customers. All I request is that you don’t make any changes, so that the complete system stays intact.

How to Download

Click here to download the zip folder (includes 2 .pdf documents, 1 .txt file and 1 .csv file)

…then get to work!

NEW! If you prefer to track your progress on your computer, instead of on paper, we’ve just added a spreadsheet that you can use instead of the printable. The spreadsheet has been added to the zip folder above, but if you already have the other files and just need the spreadsheet, click here to get it.

Hi Alice

As always with you, great advice and great gift. Knowing something and doing it is for many the difference between failure and success. But doing it and doing it well … effectively…is the vital difference between some success and great prolonged success.

Your checklists will help users achieve that.

Excellent

I love this. Thank you. Anything to help me organize my thoughts and processes is very much appreciated. You come up with the best goodies.
Stacey Mathis on November 29th, 2008 9:51 pm

It’s funny how someone can give you a fresh perpective on something you do or did regularly. I write articles and clearly understand the mechanics, but I downloaded your article and was able to pick up and tackle the article writing process again, which, for me, had whithered to some degree. Thanks for downloads and the new inspiration, Alice.

Sorry, I meant, “PERSPECTIVE” and “WITHERED” Oops!
Brandie King on November 29th, 2008 11:08 pm

Thank you Alice! One of the biggest problems I have with article marketing is coming up with ideas for what to write about and I tend to get bogged down with the submissions. You’ve provided great information to help me solve both problems!!!
Brandie King on November 29th, 2008 11:10 pm

Thank you! I tend to get pretty bogged down by coming up with new article topics and where to submit the articles once they’re written. You’ve provided wonderful help to solve both of these problems!
Melissa Ingold on November 30th, 2008 10:15 am

Thanks for the feedback everyone! We’re actually putting together a spreadsheet for those who prefer to do tracking on their computer…plus you’ll be able to edit the columns, etc. That will be ready soon.

Sarah, I am a Unique Article Wizard member, yes. I actually talked to a lot of people and observed their results for a while before taking the plunge. The unique articles are very well done and the exposure is good. Definitely recommended.

Hey Janet…the “read me” file include a legend for you. There is limited space on the spreadsheet and printable, so be sure to look at the text file that was in the zip folder.

It stands for Unique Article Wizard. It’s a web-based service that aids in distributing your article to directories and targeted website. Also helps you create unique versions of your articles.
