Cool Offer - 25 Private Label Articles

I'd be amiss if I didn't tell you about this cool freebie being offered by David Hooper. You can get free 25 private label articles. Just follow this link.

Once you register, you'll be offered an additional 100 articles for $9....and you can continue your subscription month after month and receive 100 more articles each month. I immediately signed up when I saw it...it's a fantastic deal and we'll see how the quality keeps up from month to month.

I've seen plenty of membership sites offer similar articles for exhorbitant amounts of money. Nine bucks for 100 pages of website content is priceless. Yes, I use free content sites and can pick up as many articles as I'd like, but it takes time to sift through all the articles to find those that are worth publishing. With David's offer, he's taken the time to hire professional ghostwriters to produce a quality product. In addition, there's no byline to add. These articles are completely private label.

Anyway, do check out the free 25 articles. There's parenting, credit card, golf and other articles to start. You can add these to existing sites or use them as a basis to start a new content site.

Get your 25 free articles here.

EDITED TO ADD:

I just mailed out the information about the 25 free articles to my list. Lots of people are grabbing the freebie and a good number are signing up for membership. In addition, I'm getting a flurry of questions and many of the questions are similar in nature. I thought it would be a good idea to answer the questions here (and for the definitive answers, check David's website):

Q: These are articles you can use as your own?

Yes, but I wouldn't put your name on them because others will be publishing them too. They are just simply content to put on your site that don't require a byline and you don't have to give credit to anyone else for writing them. Instead of posting a byline at the end, you can make a product recommendation at the end. You can promote your own products or products through an affiliate link. Or you can also use the articles to gain subscribers to your newsletter.

Q: If other people use the same articles, wouldn't that be bad for search engines because of duplicate content filters?

I can only tell you things from my own experience. I have always used a combination of original articles and reprint articles and have had excellent search engine results. Also remember, you can make changes to the articles to suit your needs. Optimize them for different phrases and change the wording however you'd like. Remember - one of the bonuses David offers is the Article Multiplier that allows you to quickly modify articles.

Q: But is it really worthwhile, since other people will be publishing the same articles as me? Won't there be a saturation of articles out there?

At $9 per 100 articles, we can't really expect to have original content. I have a low-cost ghostwriter and I pay her $600 to get 100 articles..big difference. Again, you can modify the articles and the likelihood of every member publishing all the articles is not likely. For me personally, it's not something I'm concerned about.

Q: Can't I Just Get the 100 Articles + the 25 free? Do I have to keep paying month after month?

You can cancel anytime, so if you just want the first month, go for it. But if you see value in the first month's run of articles (there is some great stuff there), stick around. $9 is an amazing value for the time you'd spend searching article directories...plus you don't have to add anyone else's byline.

Also, don't think you can cancel today and come back in a few months to grab all the articles. The articles are posted for one month only. As soon as the next month begins, the articles from the previous month are removed. David is definitely rewarding the loyalty of members who stick around...plus, the monthly price will eventually go up as well. If you join now, you lock in your $9 price.

Again...you can pick up your 25 free articles here.

Um, a real writer wouldn't touch an offer like that with a ten foot pole. No name? These articles are fluff. And $9.00 for 100 of them? You get what you pay for.

And how could someone who doesn't even know your business send articles to you?

Google wants real, original content, not repeated articles. Stop wasting their time!

Save your cash, get a quality article from a professional writer or learn to write yourself. Stop undercutting the writers! They have to eat too!

Hi Anonymous,

Thanks for providing your input. I assume you are a "real writer" and I can understand if it upsets you that articles are being sent around at far lower prices than you would charge.

However, if you'll talk to anyone who uses reprint articles, you'll likely find that they can get excellent search engine rankings and with these articles, you're welcome to modify as you'd like.

As far as saving your cash to hire a writer, $9 doesn't go far to get a writer. I AGREE though, hire a writer in addition to using articles like this. I write my own articles, hire a writer to write 40+ articles for me each month and I use reprint articles. It works very well.

Also, realize, this offer probably isn't for someone who has one very specialized website and is looking to build on that. This offer is more for people who publish a number of websites on various topics. These articles are simply extra content that serve as search engine food and lead generators.

Another use for these articles...

I used a paragraph of one of the articles on a blog. I disagreed with the (in my opinion) bad parenting advice and am tearing it apart for fun. LOL!

Hey whatever works ;)

There you go, Carrie...I see where you used the article on your Natural Moms Blog. You must be a very patient mama...I got sore when Nathan just wouldn't let go sometimes. :-(

LOL...but that's another topic.

LoL! How did you find that Alice?

I kept that blog very nondescript for a long time but decided finally to put my face to it and say what I really felt.

It's funny, I think my next blog should be called "It's always the quiet one" because people who know me offline don't know these things about me. I'm not nearly so out with my opinions. Gotta love blogging.

I don't know why everyone is so worked up about the free articles. I'm milking them for all they're worth. ;)

"I'm milking them for all they're worth..." no pun intended, right?

I found it because you can't hide anything from Mama Alice...hee hee!

The internet is a numbers game. Some articles are going to get picked up more than others by the search engines.

As an experiment, I had my wife pick out 150 articles from different sources and put them on my site. A few days later, I wrote my own article and posted it in the same area on my site.

My original content article, which wasn't used by several other sites, was visible in 4 days while the other articles still aren't visible.

If you post 1000 articles on your site some of them are going to have less competiton than others. This means that some articles are going to get posted on a huge number of sites and some aren't.

It's a numbers game.

Hi Alice,

I just sign up for my membership on your recommendation. Seems like a good deal. Have you use the articles yet? Will you be showing some of the sites you use them on? or sites u build for the articles?

Hi Joseph,

Yes, I've seen them and we're in the process of placing them on existing sites. They will be blended in with the current content but I can let you know when they're up.

The articles are good, but there is one "cash advance" section that has a few articles that are nearly duplicate content. I will be asking David about it and perhaps he can do better in coming months.

All in all, it's a good amount of content for $9, so I'm pleased with the purchase.

Good Morning Alice!!
Ok, I followed an email to your blog and then followed your blog to an article and do not know where to ask this question so will ask here!! =(....I downloaded an article from 1. Choose the right affiliate programs. Now that I'm here of course I cannot remember the name of the article I was downloading..oh hey, it is on my desk top and it is called Aff-Masters. But when I went to open it it asked for a program to use so I chose notepad, but it said note pad wasn't big enough so then it offered Word Pad, ok...I'll go with that...but it was mumbo jumbo..any ideas?
Thanks!!

Hi Carla - The Affiliate Masters course should be a PDF document. Do you have Adobe Acrobat on your computer?

Hi Alice!

I too joined up for this offer you had emailed your list, sure sounds like a good deal. I have a question though, it came with some article multiplier. Call me silly but I don't get how that program works or what it's purpose is.

I did take David's advice on getting a domain for the affiliate link and redirecting it. I love the ideas you provide and those of the people you refer to check out!

Hey silly....errr...I mean Carla. Just kidding, of course.

I gave the article multiplier to my assistant because she gets articles ready for me...so I haven't used it first hand. It basically makes it easier for you to change your article wording so that you can publish articles in different places without them being duplicates.
