Making Your Articles Work to Your Advantage!
Posted 07-04-2009 at 01:41 PM by RhondaGiarraffa
For Those of you that have followed me on the topic of article writing, you well know the benefits of creating articles,using different sites and using that resource or signature box.
The issue that has been discussed most recently with my subscribers is they seem to run out of content and get stuck in the weeds of writers block.
Let's keep a focus here. Article writing does not have to be up for an award. You do not have to be an English major. What you do need is interesting content that will give your readers a reason to go to your web site or where ever it is you want to direct them to in order for them to jump on your email list for more information.
When you get stuck for content, there is a pretty easy fix. Start off a topic that has popped in to your brain and just write! Stop tying to make the article perfect. Get your content down first. When you have completed your article, then go back to it and clean it up.
Now, if you are still struggling with it, go check the work of other authors that have relevant works. You can use their work as long as you attach that author to the article. NEVER EVER STEAL Someone's work. The advantage of this is that you get content fast. Your readers will be happy you shared another authors work that you think highly of and you are giving back a bit to the original author, which in turn can work to your benefit as that author may want to reciprocate.
While Ezine Aricles is one of my favorite article submission directories, I have found that HUB PAGES is under the radar but growing very fast in popularity with the search engines. Google seems to love these guys.
Also forums such as Warrior Forum, which I just found today, is another incredible place to get your content out, link to your pages and give some great information out.
Remember, you have two main goals here.
1. Give your best to your readers.
2. Get them to your opt-in so you can give them even more.
When you meet those goals, your income from your product offerings will go up.
