If you’ve been reading other online marketing blogs, then you have probably heard about how important it is to promote your content.

I’ve sent out hundreds of emails over the past few years to promote articles on my blogs and in this article, I’ll share a few things I’ve learned that other experts don’t usually mention when they talk about using email for content promotion.
One of the biggest challenges for SEO professionals and social media marketers is getting links and social shares to their content. One way people find opportunities is to find competitors, discover which sites are linking to them and then asking those site owners to link to their site.
However, a shortcoming of this approach is that sometimes your competitors continue to get new links and social shares long after the article has been published. Being able to monitor those articles or domains for new links and social shares would help you to continuously gets links and shares to your own content, wouldn’t it?
Fortunately, such tools exist. Here are a few tools that can help you monitor your competitors for new links, social shares and content.
Everyone’s talking about how awesome long form content is. In fact, several people have released studies showing how long form content performs better than short content.

When I launched my first e-commerce store in 2004, using SEO to get search engine traffic from Google was probably the easiest way to start making money with an online store. All I had to do was trade links with other related e-commerce stores and the search engines would send targeted traffic to my site.
A lot has changed since then… Google made it harder to get ranked and now you actually have to do real marketing. But Amazon opened up its doors to third party sellers and now just about anyone can start selling on Amazon.
The good thing is that if you want to sell on Amazon, you can get started for free and if you want to launch your own private label brand, an investment of $1,500 to $2,000 might be enough to get started. And once you get your product launched, it’s often mostly passive income, which is great if you are working full time or have other obligations. You just have to monitor your sales and keep the product in stock.
But how do you find a good product to sell?
I did a good bit of research on Amazon not too long ago and one of the tools I kept hearing about was Jungle Scout, which is a tool designed to help find items that can sell well on Amazon. Jungle Scout offers a web app that lets users search a database of Amazon items for products to sell and a Chrome extension that allows users to display information about a page of products.
This review covers the web app and some of the drawbacks.
