Imagine yourself jetting home from a popular conference, with colleagues and potential clients all around you. Now, feel yourself swell with pride as you see them open the Wall Street Journal or the In Flight magazine and read a business article you have bylined.
Articles are an excellent way to reach and impress your target market with your knowledge and expertise. Each published article acts as your own personal ambassador, spreading your name, message, and area of expertise throughout the universe.
Why are articles so powerful?
When we see articles in print, we automatically assume the author is the leading expert in his field. The publication gives that author/expert the kind of official third party credibility money just can’t buy.
Articles Have Staying Power
Business talk TV shows are prestigious, but after the show, your appearance is reduced to a line in your media kit. Unless your personal network and your prospects watched the show, they missed the brilliance of your thoughts.
Your articles are available to anyone who wants to read it in a moment’s notice. You can:
§ Carry them in your briefcase to distribute during meetings.
§ Enclose them with letters you send to clients and colleagues.
§ Post them to you web site where they can be immediately downloaded.
You can also use articles as the basis for a direct mail campaign to send to clients and colleagues in order to solicit referrals, generate leads, and create greater awareness of your services.
Ken Lizotte, Chief Imagination Officer of Emerson Consulting Group, Inc., frequently writes articles and maximizes publicity by sending the published articles to clients, prospects, and distributes them at association meetings.
Articles Pre-sell you to prospects
When prospects come to know your value through your articles, you don’t have to be concerned with selling yourself during the initial meeting.
Getting Started
So, how do you go about writing articles if you have not written one before? First, consider the subject of your expertise. Next, frame your article idea in a way that would be of interest to your target reader who wants to learn “how to” accomplish something.
Perhaps the best way to start is to observe the style of articles you typically read. Analyze their structural skeleton. Then write your first draft, beginning with an intriguing question or anecdote. Next, lay out the necessary steps, and end with a snappy conclusion that sums up your point.
Remember that the real secret of successful writing is the re-writing. Polish your article well, and you may well see colleagues and clients reading your byline in a prestigious publication very soon.

Submit Articles to hundreds of Article Directories and get Massive Traffic
Have you ever posted articles to article directories (submission sites)? Yes, then you know what a laborious task it is.There are so many differences between the submission sites, you can end up wanting to tear your hair out. So as a result, you end up doing like I was doing , only submitting to a very few sites.
So the net result is that you lost all the exposure you should have been getting from the other submission sites. What's the big deal anyway, you say!
Perhaps you're not fully aware of the enormous viral power of having your articles spread out all over the Net? Let me give just one quick example from my own experience.
In a period of only 6 months I posted 14 articles to only 8 submission sites. Other people then picked up my articles and are using them on their web sites and in their newsletters.
Of course my name is on all my articles, and appears a few t imes on my www.bestaffiliateproducts.com web site, which today has 249 pages of good content. I add new content regularly.
Now to see the effect all this is having in just 6 months, do a search on Google for "Fred Farah" (in quotes of course). 6 months ago "Fred Farah" showed up only 200 times. Far from impressive, right? Right!
Well now, only 6 months later Google finds my name over 11,000 times, and Yahoo over 8,100. Are these pages all mine? I believe that 98 to 99% are me.
Am I telling you this to brag? No, not really (even though I'm very proud of it). The real purpose is to prove to you how truly powerful it is to post articles. And remember that I only used 8 submission sites.
Here's the good news, actually fantastic news.
After almost one year in the making, Article Submitter Pro was launched Aug 23, 2005.
Easy to use, and almost fully automatic, this article submission software looks to perhaps be the most effective viral and time saving Article Tool on the market.
What makes this such an important announcement! Well it's this..
Now that I'm using Article Submitter Pro, imagine how this is going to dramatically change the status of my recognition. Instead of 11,000 results on Google Search, it might be double or triple that number. By posting articles to dozens of sites, (I am starting with about 100) I should benefit immensely from the powerful viral effect it will have.
Enough said! If you need more proof check out the tons of benefits listed on the web site. Read the testimonials too, and you can thank me later, after you get your name up "in lights".

Public Domain: The easiest Way to Create Articles
There are many webmasters that find writing articles for their site to be a very tedious task. Many people who need to write articles also procrastinate as much as they can to delay the amount of writing they need to do. Many people dread writing articles because they find researching for the topic and writing down original materials will be too taxing on them.
You need to have your creative juices flowing and simply downloading an article would be plagiarism or tantamount to stealing, not exactly. Have you ever heard about public domain? These are articles written down by many authors that have declared their works to be public domain, which means anybody can use it for whatever purpose they want.
While most authors would prefer to copyright their work for their rights, there are also a number who doesn mind sharing their work. Public domain articles are not owned by anybody and can be used and abused by anyone. The writers have waived their rights to their works and it is out there for the public to make use of.
You can use public domain articles in helping you write your articles. With the public domain articles you can simply edit them to your own style and rewrite them as you please to make it suitable for your needs. All the ideas are there already and its just a matter of finding the write article with the topic or subject you need.
This is probably the easiest way to write articles. You don need to scour around the library or the internet for hours for information and start an article from scratch. For webmasters who are looking for articles to fill their site and to generate a high ranking for their website in search engine results, they can just modify the article by infusing keywords and keyword phrases related to their site.
A webmaster or website operator do not risk any chance of getting sued for copyright infringement because they are public domain, once again meaning that anybody can use it. Writing articles by using public domain wont require as much work as writing one from scratch would. You save a lot of time also.
One good factor in using public domain articles for your site or for any project is that you save a lot of money. You dismiss the need to hire experienced and seasoned writers that some website operators use to write their articles. While a single five hundred worded article would only set you down 10 to 15 dollars, this cost will drastically increase when you need hundreds of articles to fill the needs of your site.
For those who needs articles to generate newsletters or an e-zine, public domain articles will be very beneficial. You do not need to count on your contributors or pay writers to write down articles for your newsletter or e-zine. You can fill all the pages without any cost or the worry of being sued and sought after by the writers. You can simply copy the articles and place them on your newsletter and e-zine.
Public domain articles are a virtual untapped resource that many people fail to realize the true value. The power of articles, keywords and keyword phrases have been deemed invaluable these past few years for many internet based businesses and sites that want to rank high in search engine results.
The number of article and content writers have grown significantly due to the rise in the demand for articles. As newer and newer topics and subjects have arisen, there are many demands for new articles to be written. An industry has been formed and this is a worldwide demand.
Public domain articles have given a great alternative for those who are cash strapped as well as do not have the time nor the skills to do their articles for themselves.
Searching for public domain articles is as easy as 1 ?2 ?3. You can search for them in search engines and do searches in many directories for the topic or subject that you need. Read them and simpy copy paste them to a word processing program and simply edit them to suit your needs.

Ignore At Your Own Peril - Article Submission Mistakes
The most important task in the world of marketing with articles is to create relationships with editors. This is not to say that you need to invite them to dinner or even call them on a regular basis. You do have to be polite, reliable and submit quality articles. If possible, engage the editor in conversation via e-mail and let them know to ask you for additional articles when they have a need. Don't be one of those authors that drive editors crazy. If you do, editors are likely to make sure your articles end up in the "delete" folder. Follow the best practices below and editors will likely put you at the top of their "favorite authors" file:
* Be courteous and use professional language when approaching editors. Treat editors the way you expect to be treated.
* Using correct spelling, grammar and punctuation is vital. Experienced editors will throw out an article with even one of these mistakes.
* Format articles properly in a text editor. Never use a traditional word processing program when writing your articles or your format will be garbled.
* Avoid boring titles and boring text. Tell a story, add a twist and have some fun while writing. Editors love receiving something new and exciting.
* Write only about things you know. You are not an expert on everything.
* Submit only your own original documents. Don't copy from someone else.
* Read the guidelines and view archived articles to make sure you follow all the rules.
* Submit on-topic articles only. Today I wasted time getting rid of articles about diving, nursing and frugal living. My guidelines clearly state I only accept articles about article submissions!
* Fill out forms completely and include contact information with e-mails.
* Savvy article writers never submit articles that are thinly disguised sales letters or advertising.
* Some editors will send you an e-mail when they use your article and some don't. Never, never, never bombard an editor and ask when and if your article will be published.
* Remove editors from your list promptly when asked. If you continue to submit when told not to then you are in violation of spam laws.
* Submit only one or two articles per week to your list. I know writers who submit dozens of articles a week to their list. This is annoying and can be seen as "spamming" even if you follow all the rules.
Remember that editors are busy people just like you and me. Don't waste their time, be professional and let them know you appreciate the opportunity to work with them. Carefully cultivate your relationship with editors and your article submission efforts will bloom!

Permanent Traffic From Writing Articles
Writing articles is possibly the best way to generated free traffic to your site. A short article, submitted to a few places, creates permanent streams of traffic. Here are some of the ways articles bring traffic to your website:
1. Click-throughs from article banks. People read your articles at an article bank, and click on the link in the "author's resource box."
2. Search engine traffic. Search "cheap international plane tickets" on Google, and sites with my article will be in the results. Wherever the article is found, readers can click through to my travel site.
3. Other web sites. When my reports show a referral address I don't recognize, it's usually a web site that's using one of my articles.
Article Submission - The Basics
Submit your articles to article banks and newsletters. Article banks usually carry "free-distribution "articles, meaning anyone can use them for a site, newsletter or blog. They just can't change them, and they have to leave your link active. The link is in the "resource box," where you say something about yourself and invite the reader to visit your web site.
Post an article once, and it can spread, creating permanent streams of traffic. Why permanent? Here's an example: I get search traffic for "mexico real estate" on my site HousesUnderFiftyThousand.com because of an article I used. The author gets clicks through to her site, but I get traffic - and revenue - so I'll never remove that article.
The Easiest Article Writing
Article writing isn't just for writers. Online articles are short and less formal than magazine articles anyhow, but if you really don't like writing, try a "list-article." This is the most popular type of article online, which is fortunate, because it's also the easiest type to write.
For a site about making money on Ebay, you could write an article titled "The Top Ten Sellers On Ebay." A short introduction, a list with a sentence or two about each item, a bit about yourself and a link to your site, and you're done. Write "Six Mistakes People Make On Ebay," and we need to read that to avoid the mistakes, right?
Some article banks charge fees, but there are many that are free. There are also more ways to generate traffic with your articles. That's this article's "tease" to get you to the site.

6 Article Submission Guidelines To Be Aware Of Prior To Submitting Your Articles
Submitting articles to article directories is a great way to show your knowledge on a particular topic and promote your website at the same time. While article submission guidelines may seem like a nuisance, they can make the difference of a poorly written article from a professionally written article. Here are 6 guidelines you may run into with various directories.

Whether it is on their website, blog, or in their newsletters, people are allowed to use your work as long as it remains in its entirety. This article submission guideline is often overlooked, but don't confuse this with others being able to claim it as their own.

Make sure you research to find which ones allow it if you want to promote your links in an article.
5. As mentioned above, article submission guidelines can seem tedious and unnecessary. However, most directories do not accept articles that have a number of spelling errors and grammatical errors. Because of this, it is to your benefit that only your finest work will be published by directories.
6. The most crucial article submission guideline to take note of and circle is that ALL work you submit must be yours. The articles you submit can not be by other authors and the content must be unique and vary in some way or another from other articles similar to it. Many articles written will have the same idea, but make sure yours shines a different light to the topic.
