I'm actually thinking about hiring someone in the Philippines right now, but I need to take a closer look at m financial situation first to make sure I can afford it. @James, Hey man, thanks for checking out my blog.

Glad to see another AB member having some success. I have seen too many people not follow through and blame the course for their lack of success. Good Luck, and keep it up. it is all worth it in the end. I can say, once you know how to do it, the rest go faster, especially once you start paying others to work for you. Looks great.

I was using it mostly for the market strength tool and the trusted site tool. The market strength tool has been giving pretty crappy non-results since the update, and after using the trusted site tool a few times, I've noticed that most of the results aren't really that good. I think I'm going to cancel after the new issue of the PDF magazine thing comes out in a few days. and save up for one of those Philippine workers. @Amanda, yeah, I’m actually about to cancel it.

I signed up for the blog webinar which I was disappointed to find was almost an exact copy of affiloblueprint :( other then that I couldn't find a reason to stay a member... I figured my money would be better off used to buy premium membership to traffic travis... what am I missing here? ... sorry to post this on your blog but I thought it would be a bit rude to post it on the affilorama forum :P I wanted to ask you, Clayton, why you are still a premium member of Affilorama… I signed up for the blog webinar which I was disappointed to find was almost an exact copy of affiloblueprint :( other then that I couldn’t find a reason to stay a member… I figured my money would be better off used to buy premium membership to traffic travis… what am I missing here? … sorry to post this on your blog but I thought it would be a bit rude to post it on the affilorama forum :P

Just open up the spun article in Word or notepad or something and just do a "replace all" command to change the deliminators. Here's a reference for deliminators (I'm not really sure why these guys need to use different syntax...): <strong>AMA</strong> - {sentence [1|one]~sentence [2|two]~sentence [3|three]} <strong>ASH</strong> - {sentence {1|one}|sentence {2|two}|sentence {3|three}} <strong>FTS</strong> (does not support nested spins) - [spin]sentence 1|sentence 2|sentence 3|[/spin] Hope this helps. @Chris, yeah, that site Mark uses formats articles for AMA.

Here’s a reference for deliminators (I’m not really sure why these guys need to use different syntax…):

AMA – {sentence [1|one]~sentence [2|two]~sentence [3|three]}

ASH – {sentence {1|one}|sentence {2|two}|sentence {3|three}}

FTS (does not support nested spins) – [spin]sentence 1|sentence 2|sentence 3|[/spin]

Hope this helps.

That thing is a godsend! I need to find a new software spinning tool that matches the format for it though. I'm using one that I saw Mark using on one of his webinars. Its a free online spinner but doesn't seem to work with ASH or Free Traffic System. Amanda Isn't is great having people write for you with gold? The same thing happened to me with cutting back on WoW time and focusing on marketing. Good luck to you! Clayton

It will only submit your articles 30 times, but that's better than nothing. Also download Article Submission Helper. You can dump spun articles in there and it will automatically submit to like 100 or so directories. You kind of have to keep an eye on ASH though. Sometimes it gets a little glitchy and will switch over to a different article or restart at the beginning of the directory list. Other than that I submit manually to about 17 directories. I would probably submit to more, but I just write them all down on a sheet of paper and 17 is all I can fit on one sheet of paper LOL. Use this list as a guide. Go for high PR, dofollow directories: http://www.vretoolbar.com/articles/directories.php <strong>@Amanda</strong>, Thanks for the encouragement. It would be really awesome if I could pay rent with affiliate earnings ($500). Don't write yourself off yet. Maybe it's just me, but for some reason about once a month or so I've gotten a sharp increase in sales for a few days. $200 could still be very possible. @Chris, While you’re saving up for AMA, use Free Traffic System.

I've found the more and more I work on this stuff the less and less I play WoW so I have no need for the gold ... I just wish I was good enough at article marketing as I was at making gold in WoW I seem to have strange nack for it. *Clayton* I've got my fingers crossed for this month for you. I unfortunately prolly won't pass the $200 mark this month.... but all is good. I've gotten a lot of work done on new sites and hopefully I will start seeing some more sales. *Chris*

I was looking at The Best Spinner and really want to get it. I know that I need to sign up with AMA soon as well. The money just isn't there right now but as soon as I get enough cash, I am definitely spending it on those. I wanted to ask you how many article directories you submit your spun articles to. I used 9 or 10 for my first article and didn't know if that's a decent start or if I should do a lot more. Take care, Chris I’ve gotten a few of the articles back in exchange for the WoW gold and they were written very nicely.

How's it going with all the articles you're getting written in exchange for WoW gold? Yeah, spinning articles made me want to cry when I was doing it all myself (using a software program called Microsoft Word). It seriously took me like 3 or 4 hours just to spin one article with all the breaks I took. Then all those "parse errors" that showed up as soon as I tried to submit it to AMA... If you can afford it, I really suggest getting The Best Spinner (thebestspinner.com). It makes things so much easier. I think there's something called JetSpinner too that's free. I'm not sure how good it is though. But, yeah, I've been working at this really intensely for the past 6 weeks or so. Honestly the only thing that really keeps me going is the thought that a backlink tsunami is going to hit all of my sites any time now and (hopefully) get me to start earning more money than I spend on rent and food. @Chris, hey man.
