The Original Toshiba Satellite Major Crash …

and bear in mind that the following was written approximately four years ago!

“Over the last three years I have enjoyed working on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. Since I purchased it, I’ve created many websites and written eBooks on it. Not once has it let me down. It has given me 100% satisfaction since the first day I unpacked it.

But, can you imagine how I felt when I heard the crash? Well, I was completely horrified. All my work, all my programs, my laptop, which I had grown so accustomed to.  Was that the end of my Toshiba Satellite laptop?

Toshiba Satellite Survives Major Crash

I have always loved my laptop for the freedom it gave me while working. You could often find me, with it, working in the kitchen, in the garden, sitting with it at an airport while waiting to board a flight, even in the car while enjoying the tranquillity of the sound of the waves by the seashore, writing articles.

It had travelled with me to Canada, as I worked and kayaked my holiday days away.  Then it travelled to Manhattan enroute to Atlanta to meet a very special internet marketer, non other than our Mr. Willie Crawford plus many more amazing people.

But on the day of the crash , all I wanted to do was to work and rest on my bed at the same time.

I had put the open laptop on the bedside table and plugged the extension into the back of the laptop. Then I took the plug end of the lead and put it into the wall socket on the opposite side of the bed. Next I decided that it would be best to put the cord behind the pillows, so gave the cord a tug, completely forgetting that it was attached to the laptop.

Can you imagine what happened next?

The crashing noise of the laptop falling fully opened onto the hard ceramic tiled floor (the usual flooring in a Spanish home) was unspeakable.

I rushed to the other side of the bed and was horrified, saddened, shocked and mortified, all at once, just seeing my beautiful Toshiba Satellite laptop lying fully opened, screen face down, on the hard floor.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind. Had I backed up the data recently?

Yes, thankfully I had backed it up a few days before onto my portable harddrive.

Was I still insured? No, unfortunately the insurance had lapsed and I would have to rush out and buy another one as quickly as possible.  What a waste of money that would be.  I was working on updating my debts-challenge eBook on
Turn Your Debts Into A Fantastic New Life, as well!  (I hasten to add that the book has to be revisited and brought up to date.  Something else for the neverending ‘To Do’ list.)

As these thoughts were flooding through my mind as I carefully picked up the laptop off the floor.

It felt stiff.

The screen was loose.

The frame around the screen had separated.

The screen felt limp.

My immediate thought was that it was completely wrecked.

With my thumb and index finger I squeezed the frame back into place. I gently eased the screen back to its original location and then moved the cursor on the screen.

To my amazement, it worked!

My next step was to close down all the applications, which I had opened and close the laptop completely to check the damage. It was then that I noted that it was stiffer to close but, nevertheless, it did close. After a few minutes I opened it again and logged on.

I could not believe it! It worked perfectly.

Would I buy a Toshiba Satellite laptop again? The answer has to be, absolutely, and without any hesitation whatsoever. All I can say is a big thank you toToshiba for creating a fantastic product and one which survived such a major crash.”

That was a true story. 

Tell me, have you ever suffered a major crash with your laptop or computer?

Would I recommend Toshiba Satellite laptops?  Absolutely and with 100% conviction, which remind me,     did I mention that you can get fabulous Toshiba Satellites at great prices at Amazon?

 

Let’s face it, many people find article writing quite a painful experience and often put it off rather than knuckle down and get on with it.  Sometimes it’s not the thought of actually writing the article, it’s about the ‘how to do it correctly’ and then once this has been achieved, the thought of  ‘how to submit it to all the various article submission sites as quickly as possible’ rears its’ ugly head.  In fact you could get a headache just thinking about it!

These thoughts have resulted in many a stagnant blog yet if these same blogs could be revitalised, they could be sold!  Can you imagine the money you could generate in just a few weeks by giving these old blogs or even new ones some juice and then selling them on?

I’ve got good news for you and that is, FREE article writing information on how you can do article writing the right way!

Read on to learn how Willie Crawford does it …  after all, why would you not follow the example of someone who is successful in the internet marketing arena for many years.

My Super-Effective Article Writing Formula Copyright 2009 Willie Crawford

Here’s the formula that I use to quickly write informative articles that get results. For many of the articles that I write my goal is to get visitors to a website where they take some action related to the topic of the article. Often the action that they take is to buy some product that I recommend.

Here is the formula that I use to write articles almost in an assembly line fashion. The reason that I write so many articles is that in some niches you need dozens, even hundreds of articles, to break through the clutter.

I begin with keyword research. You want to know what keyword phrases your ideal customers are using when searching online. They come online searching for solutions to their problems, and when they come across your articles offering a solution, they become raving fans.

To do keyword research, I often use the “Google External Keyword Tool.”   You can find it by googling that term. This tool shows you how many searches are made on a given term in a month, plus how many webpages there are out there already targeting that phrase. The tool also suggests related terms that you might want to target. You can use this tool to compile a list of suitable keywords and then download your research results in an Excel spreadsheet.

In looking at keywords, what you’re trying to identify,  in addition to search volume, is “What problems are these searchers try to solve.” People come online looking for solutions to their problems. You identify those problems and then let them know (via your articles) that you have the perfect solution.

In crafting my article titles, I use my keywords but also work in a promised benefit. My titles promise to show them the solution to a nagging problem. When they see that title listed in the search engines, this is what entices them toclick through to your target site.

In crafting the body of my articles, I use the “problem, agitate, solution” formula. I describe the problem to letthe reader know that I understand their problems. I then go into excruciating details explaining the problem, and how it’s not going to get any better unless they do something about it. Finally, I point out the obvious solution, which is my recommended product.

Sometimes I only point them to a website to read more about the problem. On that website, they’ll also find my recommended solution. This is a less-threatening, soft-sell approach.

When I do my keyword research, I sometimes identify hundreds of related keywords that are being searched on a lot. At the same time, I identify several different painful problems (or variations of the same problem). This is what allows me to write articles in almost an assembly line fashion.

After the articles are written, I use an automated submission service to submit them to the top article directories. I use automated submissions because otherwise I’d spend countless hours submitting each article (not a very good use of our time).

In the resource box of these articles, I point readers to a target site. Where permitted I use anchor text in the links in these resource boxes. That anchor text is generally the keyword that I’m targeting (the same keyword that I used in my title).

I also post these articles to my blogs or maybe to a static page on one of my sites.

Since I like to leverage my time, I also turn many of my articles into videos, and podcasts. I generally create the videos by putting the main points of the articles on PowerPoint slides. Then I read the article as I go through the slides – recording then using Camtasia (screen capture software).

Alternatively, I sometimes simply turn the text of an article into a PDF. Then I scroll down my computer screen reading the article, and again, recording it using Camtasia.

To create the podcast you can use recording software probably already on your computer, or you can download one many free pieces of software such as Audacity.  Simply read the article as you record it. I generally save it as an MP3.

Submit the videos to video sharing sites, and submit the audio to podcast sites. I use an automated submission service for this, submitting to numerous sites!

Here’s one final tactic that I use to get my articles to rank higher for a target keyword and get noticed more readily in the search engines. I look for ways to create external links pointing to my article in one location – generally my main blog. I do this by bookmarking the blog post that contains the article.   This is perhaps the easiest way to give the article a search engine boost.

There you have it, my super-effective article writing formula. It generates a steady stream of high quality website traffic for me, and a steady stream of orders too. Feel free to use it.
