[G217]Getting Caught In The Act

by Chris Mcelroy Aka Namecritic, Chr

Here's a great example: article marketing can help to promote your business - truth or hype?

As long as the qualifier is there - as long as the question is can article marketing help your business - the answer is yes. By creating great original content that gives readers the information they are looking for about a product or service, submit your content to the right directories, and produce content that others will not only want to read but will also want to share on their websites as well as in their email marketing and in their newsletters, you can draw traffic to your site.

But take a closer look at that paragraph. The content has to benefit the reader - not just you. The content has to be informative and appealing and contain information that readers will want to share. The content needs to be submitted to the right directories.

Private label rights articles aren't going to provide you with the content that you need for your business. That may come off as a dramatic statement; it's also going to be contrary to a number of the things that you've read online in regards to article marketing.

Plenty of people will tell you that the fastest and easiest way of creating the articles you need to market your business is to invest in private label rights articles. While it can be quick and easy, you're not likely to find that the content within them is appealing to readers or accepted into the right directories. Here's why.

When you buy the private label rights to an article or series of articles, you're buying the same content that others have - so much for having content that's original. When you by private label rights to content, you're often going to get information that's stuffed with keywords and that is vague and general - content that offers little value to your readers. Unless you make dramatic changes to the content that you've purchased the private label rights to, you're likely to find that the article directories are less likely to accept your content because, well, often they already have the same article in their database.

It's for these reasons that you should look at private label rights articles as a private label trap. Just like other traps, the private label trap is baited with promises - in this case, ease of use and fast results. Also like other traps, the private label trap is easy to be caught in: once you give in, it's hard to get back out.

What's the best way of avoiding the private label trap? Creating your own content is always a great option; hiring a ghostwriter to create content for you - content that will be yours alone - is another great way of avoiding the false promises of private label rights. Whichever you choose, when you avoid the trap of private label rights content, you'll see for yourself the effectiveness of article marketing.

Have you ever found yourself saying, “But I didn't know. Why didn't somebody tell me this before?” Of course you have. We all have. But when you are dealing with your business, the law, and the IRS, you had better not only do your homework, you had better safeguard it. Because “the dog ate my homework” just won't cut it.

Our world is a complicated place. It takes a lot of energy, focus and time to stay on top of the game whether it is managing your household, traversing the college entrance maze, or learning how to use the latest electronic gadget hoisted upon us. The world of business is certainly no different.

Owning and operating your own business is fraught with complexities and decisions and planning and personalities that demand attention day and night. It is more necessary than ever to recognize that focusing on your area of expertise and hiring others to do the same is the only way to move closer to your goals.

Determining whether to structure a business as a sole-proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability company requires asking a lot of questions of professionals who know how and where to find the right answers for you. There are advantages and disadvantages to each entity form depending upon the type of business, the location of the business, the level of revenues, the state and federal requirements and tax implications, and liability issues, just to name a few.

For example, a sole-proprietorship is probably the simplest option for small businesses, but there is no personal liability protection. And if business is limited to just one state, the Limited Liability Company structure can add that enhancement without complicating things too much. But if the business operates in many states, the LLC is required to register in each one and comply with that state's requirements, which could mean extra taxes and paperwork each year.

There is also an issue around payroll taxes for employees and excise taxes. As of January 1, 2009, both of these items must be handled by the LLC for purposes of the IRS. Not a big deal, but if you don't know that and you are electing the option to file as a sole-proprietor rather than a corporation, you might find yourself out of compliance.

There are also the considerations of short-range and long-range goals for the business which might indicate the proper direction to avoid taxable consequences of changing from one entity to another down the road. Sometimes trying to sort this out entirely alone to save money or to stroke your ego is a mistake.

Why not treat this project like a group assignment and start enlisting the advice and expertise you need to make the best choices for the success of your business. It's not considered “cheating” in the school of life (and business). It just makes good sense not to go it alone on this one.
