More Brandable Articles

As always, we are on a search for articles that YOU can brand with your affiliate links for that program. If you're using articles in your newsletter and on your website, you might as well make money on the traffic that is clicking out through the author bio, right? :) I know I prefer to.

Here are some new ones we've found. (To be clear, you must include the author bio with every article. However, you can sign up for the affiliate program and use your affiliate link for that program instead of the generic link.)

http://www.ILovePrincessParties.com -
An ebook about planning the perfect princess parties.

http://www.freeaffiliatearticles.com/AR.htm -
An ebook teaching how to sell on eBay.

http://www.momaffiliatenetwork.com/dsops.html -
This program sells advertising to people in Direct Sales.

http://www.DineWithoutWhine.com/offer -
A menu-planning service for Moms to save time and money.

http://recipes.HealthyMenuMailer.com -
A healthy menu-planning email service.

All of the programs above offer brandable articles for your use.

Let us know if you find other programs that our readers would be interested in, or if you are confused by this concept. I'd be happy to explain. :)
Nicole

PS. As always, you can visit http://www.freeaffiliatearticles.com/directory/

Need Content?

I am very pleased to tell you about a brand new site where you can get articles that you can edit and change at will and put them on your blogs, websites or send them in your newsletters. The only think you can't do with them is submit the articles to article directories.

The price is ridiculously cheap and the articles are very well written. You'll see my shiny face smack dab in the middle of the page with my testimonial.

Christine Steendahl of Dine without Whine

Hi Christine, I'm so excited to chat with you. :)

1. Tell us about your business.

I am the owner of www.dinewithoutwhine.com/offer that launched in March 2005. We provide family friendly, easy to prepare weekly menus with categorized grocery shopping lists. These are delivered to our clients e-mail boxes each week. This allows our customers to print out their menu and grocery list, make a quick trip to the grocery store, and then easily enjoy home cooked family meals each evening.

2. Do you have any recent news, products, a new launch, freebies, etc.

- I just launched www.partnerupdates.com with Susanne Myers who is my business partner for www.recipes.healthymenumailer.com . This is a special site for our awesome Dine Without Whine and Healthy Menu Mailer Affiliates; to provide training, and resources that will help our affiliates be successful. I also will be raising the Dine Without Whine Affiliate Commission August 1st. I also have some exciting things coming in the near future but I am not quite ready to announce those yet. If you want to keep up to date on those feel free to join my free newsletter, become a subscriber to DWW, or become an affiliate.

3. What are your absolute favorite products or resources you can't live without in your business (or have helped you the most)?

- Mom Masterminds. It is honestly the best money I have ever spent on my business. I did not know much at all about running an online business until I joined.

- My Virtual Assistant, Online Business Partners, and my Affiliates

- The basics I need to run my business –Web Hosting, Microsoft FrontPage, Amember ( www.amember.com ) and of course my E-mail.

4. What's your best advice for someone just starting out in online business?

- Choose Something You Love and do some research to make sure there is a market for it. Then think about a way that you can stand out from everyone else.

- Stay focused. It is easy to get one thing started and before it is really running smoothly jump into something else – be it another web-site or just another project for your current web-site. I was a Scrapbooking Consultant, I sold on e-bay and I started Dine Without Whine. It came to the point where I didn’t have enough time to do any of them well, yet I was terrified to give up the income from any of them up. I finally through faith gave up both the Scrapbooking and E-bay. Those two business’ were making me much more than Dine Without Whine was at the time, but after I gave them up I was able to focus and now Dine Without Whine is making much more than all three combined were in the past. It is also less stressful to focus on one thing.

- Accept that gaining traffic is a slow and steady thing. Focus on things that will pay off in the long run such as Search Engine Optimization and Article Marketing.

- If you have a product, start an affiliate program. It is the best way to quickly get your name out there, you are helping others make money as well, and you meet some great friends!

- Finally Dare To Dream Big and Don’t be Afraid To Ask. If there are people you need to network with to reach your dreams, just ask. If you think it through and present it well, you might be surprised who will say yes.

KC Gagne of Connecting Rainbows

Hey KC. I've known you for years, so I'm excited to share you with everyone here. Tell us about yourself.

I started Connecting Rainbows in March 2005 as a way to group all of my direct sales businesses and affiliate marketing programs into one place. As time went on, I gave up on the direct sales and my website became more focused on the life balance issues that work at home moms face. I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. LOL! My goal is to give women the time management skills and the resources to work their business and still have time for themselves and their families.

While I worked on my own website, I began assisting other work at home moms with their website needs. I started designing personal Ryze pages, creating banners and helping with business web sites. One thing led to another and the Website Solutions subdivision of Connecting Rainbows was born. I offer my technical skills to other work at home moms who want to utilize the internet for their business, but don't know how. Since most work at home moms are on a budget, I offer free consultations, affordable rates and payment plans.

Do you have any recent news, products, a new launch, freebies, etc.
My two most recent launches are the WAHMshop featuring W.A.H.M. apparel and the Connecting Rainbows Bookshelf. The bookshelf only contains five star weight loss books right now, but will be expanding to other subjects.

What are your absolute favorite products or resources you can't live without in your business (or have helped you the most)?
If it weren't for the awesome women at the showmomthemoney network on Ryze, I would probably still be banging my head against the wall waiting for a direct sales miracle. My peers on this network helped me to realize my goals and also gave me the confidence and support I needed to get things moving in the right direction.

What's your best advice for someone just starting out in online business (getting traffic, article marketing, networking, etc.)?
Don't try to buy a mansion when all you need is an apartment. I get very frustrated when I hear about people spending a fortune on web hosting and other resources when they don't need to. A little time spent on education can save a lot of money!

What is your number one question about online business, getting traffic, networking, affiliate programs or article marketing?
I don't have any right now. Any question I have is always quickly answered by searching for articles on LadyPens.com or by posting on the showmomthemoney network! :)
