Mass Traffic Attack Video 8 Establish Yourself As An Expert Author.
Getting over the initial hurdle of writing and publishing your first article, becomes easier, and you will soon be writing more articles. • The next step for you is to make yourself an expert author. The main directory, E-zine articles will offer “Expert Author” status, just as soon as you have submitted a certain amount of quality articles.
Other directories do have similar policies, and once you have this status, you can then use their “Expert Author” logo on your site. This may well sound a little corny, but you will be surprised at the emails you receive out of the blue asking you for more information on your subject.
Pen Names and Their Value. • You may wish to consider is whether you want to use your real name or a pen name, so many famous authors have done that, for instance Stephen King, used Richard Bachman to write the Running Man novel. • If you are going to write articles for a lot of different niche markets, then you may wish to consider using different pen names for different markets. All directories allow you to do this.
Obviously, if you are looking to establish yourself in one niche, then use your own name, this is how you brand yourself, and is vital, if you want people to recognise your name when you write an article. • Remember, that you want people to recognise your name and click your link, and you would be surprised at how quickly that can happen.
Here are a few examples of some circumstances when using a pen name would be a good idea. • Changing Your Gender: Obviously not literally, however if you want to write an eBook about dating and you’re a man, you may well have more success if you “position” yourself as a woman. • A More Appropriate Name: Your name may be difficult to pronounce for some of your audience, or if you are writing about English stately homes, the pen name Lord Fotherington may give you more authority.
Safety: If you are writing an article about a sensitive or controversial subject, then the safety of a pen name is advisable. • Privacy: If you are recognised as an authority in your field, and you are writing about a different subject, then you may now want your readers to know it is you. • Finally just check with Google before you use a pen name, to ensure that you are not using a name that is linked to a serial killer, or something just as distasteful, plus you also do not wish to use the same name as someone else is using in your niche.
