Article marketing is a great way to help you build your business. The articles that you write are on the internet for a long time. Make sure that the information is correct. They get picked up by this ezine and they run it, people see it and go to your site. A blog picks it up next and other people see it, more people go to your site. It goes and goes. (This is free ads for your site. No money spent, just some time.) This adds more visitors to your site. More visitors means more sales for you if you have done it right. It works for you time and again, without you doing anything more to it.
You say "What do I write about." Well I say "write about some thing that you enjoy." This will keep your interest up and it will show through in your writing. More people will want to read it more. Remember the title is what will draw people to what you have written, make sure that it catches the eye. Here are some examples of what to write about: If you like scrap booking (maybe it is your business as well). Write an article about scrap booking tips. Another about things that will help others do something quicker and better than they have been doing it. That will be helpful to a lot of people that were doing something else and struggling with it. Where to find the best products? People have a need, you answer that need with an article.
The next question you might have is "What do I do with the article now that I have it written?" These are some sites to submit your articles to. (Some want it done how they want it done they will not accept it if it is not that way. Make sure that you do it by the guidelines that they give.)
Here are some places to submit your articles:

Write as you talk. In other words write in simple terms so everyone will understand. Do not use things like SEO without spelling out what it is. It is search engine optimization.
Once you get started with writing articles, you might decide that you like writing after all. It might turn out that to be an unexpected talent. The better that you write the better your business will do.
You will be better at writing emails to sell your products, ads, sales letters, promotions, content for your web site. If you can do these things yourself - how much money could you save. That helps your bottom line, if you do not have to pay someone else to write them for you.
Enjoy the writing. If you get stumped on what to write about -do a review on an article that you read or a product that you enjoy using. Make sure that you give them credit for what they wrote or the product that they offer. Link back to them on their site, they will love the visitor that they get from you.
How is article marketing working for you? Do not miss out because you think you can not do it. You will not know if you do not try. Give it a try. All the best to you.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
We never considered ourselves "writers" until we started blogging. It sort of sparked a hidden passion. Now, we love to write. And as you say, the more we write, the easier it gets. Also, when you're writing about something you're passionate about, it shows through the article.
Article marketing has helped us bring more traffic to our blog. We definitely would recommend it to all. Thanks for sharing some awesome tips! :-)
Many Blessings....

Hugo and Roxanne, I too found it a hidden talent that I am glad to have found. It has now become fun to do not work. That makes it all the better. But thank goodness for spell check or no one would want to read it.
