How and Why Write Articles?
On my home page I wrote: "in order to succeed online you must master only two skills: marketing and copywriting".
Today I want you to start writing articles!
What? You cannot write?
Beleive me, YOU CAN!
Now, grab a pen and a piece of paper. Please do it!
Think about your hobby. Think about all the problems you had trying to solve this and that... Remember? Great!
Now tell me your story. Imagine that I have the same problem like you had. Help me out!
Write down what problem did you have and why it was the problem. How did you manage to solve the problem. Where did you look for a solution. What solutions did you find (the good and the bad). Which solution did you pick and why in order to solve the problem related to your hobby.
Done? Great!
Here's your first article!
So, why write articles?
When you publish and distribute articles, you build trust and credibility. You are also allowed to include a "Resource Box" in your articles with a link to your own website or an affiliate program.
You have already joined some affiliate programs, didn't you? So, create a "Resource Box". Simply, write a sentense or two about yourself and include a link to your affiliate program.
Note that if webmasters and ezine owners like your article they will include it on their web content pages or e-zines. So, great articles are usually published on hundreds of web sites and ezines, and this means huge free traffic to the links that you promote in your articles' "Resource Box"!
It's time to distribute your article to article directories. Make sure to reread your article several times and edit it before publishing. Here are some article directories where you can submit your articles:
You can do a search on Google if you need more.
It will take some time before your articles get picked up by webmasters, but if you keep writing and distributing at least one or two articles per day, you'll soon start earning affiliate commission!
However, by promoting only affiliate links you leave lots of money on the table. In order to succeed you MUST create a web site, so you could build an e-mail list!
So, in the next issues of my Internet marketing newsletter I am going to teach you how to create your first simple but effective web site.
Please keep practising posting to forums and writing articles. You must write a lot. You will need to write A LOT if you want to succeed with your online business!
