Teri & I first met Peggy Baron when I spoke at Mark Hendrick’s Internet Super Stars conference in Florida 2 or 3 years ago. Peggy is a top Private Label Rights (PLR) writer, and we were both impressed by Peggy’s friendly, professional attitude towards online marketing, PLR and her contribution to those of us who use PLR regularly.

We’ve kept in touch and become friends since then, so when Peggy asked me to review her new concept, Easy Article Starters, I was happy to take a look. Whatever it was or wasn’t, I knew it would be well thought out and professional because that’s how Peggy rolls… What I wasn’t expecting was a novel approach that is BETTER THAN PLR for many of the ways we all use PLR articles currently!

What Are Easy Article Starters?

What Peggy has done instead of creating more PLR articles is do her usual research, find a number of great article ideas designed to help Internet marketers, niche marketers, affiliate marketers and people promoting offline businesses online, and then create ‘idea templates’ for us all to use.

Each Starter has a topic to create your title from, a few points for you to flesh out into paragraphs, and a suggested way to conclude the article. This is one of the more popular writing styles amongst professional writers – starting with a flowchart for the article. They list the topic, the points they want to discuss in the article, and then how they want to wrap up the article at the end. Not only does this system give you the logical flow to follow, it also helps to avoid going off on some rambling tangent and losing the flow.

If you don’t write much this may not seem important, but over the years I’ve often been writing an article on a given topic, only to have it evolve into a totally different article on a separate topic. Good in that it gives me another article to submit or use as unique content on one of my blogs, but bad in that it means I still haven’t written the article I need and intended to write. The Easy Article Starter format prevents that, and in fact I’ve started using this template for a lot of my current content creation.

What Do Easy Article Starters Include?

Here’s just one sample of the Easy Article Starters concept:

As you can probably tell, this was one created specifically to help Peggy’s affiliates promote her new EAS bundles, so it’s a perfect example in and of itself as to how powerful and useful these resources are.

Looking it over, you’ll see she’s presented the topic, an intro concept, 3 points to expand on and then a conclusion concept… How quickly could you write articles if you had a collection of these Easy Article Starters just sitting on your desktop waiting for you to turn them into full, unique blog posts, website content or articles to use in your article marketing efforts?

Pretty amazing, eh? Even I was intrigued, so an hour or so ago I decided to test one – this very one, in fact. A little over a half-hour later I had created a new blog post for my Top-Traffic-Tips.com blog – Having Trouble Outsourcing Your Traffic-Generating Content Creation? There it was, I had taken this simple little template and turned it into about 950 words of unique content.

Now remember, my results aren’t typical, unless you too are a professional author and former reporter… ;-) But what if you’d done half as much and only created a 450-500 word article in that half-hour? You’d have a new article you could submit to the directories, use as blog content, submit to someone else’s blog as a guest post, etc. And since Peggy’s Easy Article Starters come in groups, it could also be the start of a pack of articles YOU could sell as PLR yourself!

When are Easy Article Starters Better Than PLR Articles?

If you’re just looking for a lot of padding for blogs in various niches, content for people to read when they come to your satellite blogs, etc, then nothing beats private label rights articles for ease of use and time invested – even as a professional writer and marketer I use a lot of niche PLR articles myself.

But where PLR articles fall apart are those places where unique content counts the most. For example, on your signature blog(s) you want all the content to be YOU – after all, your online rep will be based on the content on those blogs. You also want unique content anytime you’re looking for good search engine results pages (SERPs) listings – having unique content is the very first step in successful SEO efforts.

Article marketing is one of the best long-term sources of residual traffic and an important source of backlinks to your blogs, sites and affiliate promotions. It’s also one of those areas where PLR articles are entirely banned – and with good reason! The purpose of article directories is to provide their readers and users with the best information they can – and multiple copies of the same articles doesn’t further their efforts one little bit.

But with the articles that result from EAS templates, each article is not only different, but most will have some information not in the others, since the knowledge of that author is added to the article as you create it. Think, for example, of ten people writing an article about the best car to drive, or the best child-rearing tip… While all start with that one topic, there’s a pretty good chance most, if not all, will have completely different viewpoints on their answer – resulting in ten totally different answers giving different concepts and content.

What Other Advantages Do Easy Article Starters Provide?

• Making Money Online

For those trying to make money online, the EAS bundles are invaluable – Peggy has researched the hottest topics and not only provided the article templates, but has built them so they’d be natural for promoting top affiliate offers or your own products in that niche. Suddenly it’s easy to write strong content that leads to your salespages, or even create articles and reports to give to your own affiliates to help them promote your products.

• Building Opt-In Lists

For those trying to build opt-in lists, there are specific benefits to using the EAS too…First, since they’re bundled by topic, it’s easy to take five of them, put them in the order you want and then create a 10 or 15 page report to use as an incentive on your squeeze page to get people to opt-in. If you’re marketing online, think of how many e-mail lists you’re currently on and how many of those you joined in order to download information you wanted to get for free – you yourself have proven the effectiveness of free reports for list building, so it’s pretty apparent that using the Easy Article Starters that way can work for you, too!

• Podcasting & Video Marketing

Another great use for the EAS bundles is for Podcasting & video marketing. More advanced than article marketing but still easy & inexpensive to add to your online marketing toolbox, using audio & video is often a very effective way to promote, especially at some of the biggest social media sites. Creating your scripts and content from the EAS resources is easy, and since YOU’RE the author, it’ll be much easier for you to read & record the final content – especially handy if you’re a novice podcaster or video content producer.

• Using As Bonuses For Buyers

The articles you create from your Easy Article Starters are your own creation, so they’re also perfect to use as bonuses to those buying your products or buying products or services through your affiliate marketing links. When 50 people are selling the same resell rights product or promoting the same affiliate offer, bonuses can often make the difference in the choice of merchants. After all, if you’re buying a product to sell online wouldn’t it be nice to get bonus blog content you could use to help you resell or promote your new products?

• Integration Into Product Bundles

Similarly, your new articles can be an important component of your next product bundle. For example, articles are provided as an important part of our Adsense Alive Pro bundle and our new Complete Article Marketing Sales Funnel bundle to give our buyers more value and a better shot at success in using the products in the bundle.

• Creating E-Zine & Newsletter Content

You’ve designed and populated your online presence, added a squeeze page with a gift for joining your opt-in list, and been blogging & social networking like crazy – and finally people are joining your list and waiting for your helpful, informative newsletter! Um, now what? Now you have to create the content to send them, and to be successful you have to keep it up regularly. Creating e-zine & newsletter content just got easier, again thanks to these EAS bundles. And not just those, but the related ideas you come up with as you write the first ones!

Where Can I Get My Easy Article Starters Bundles?

Let’s clarify one major point here – while you CAN do anything you want with the articles you write using the EAS bundles, the bundles themselves CANNOT be resold or given away in any form. The EAS you’re about to download are for you personal use only. As a result, the Easy Article Starters site is your only source, so head over now & get your articles started!
