Have you ever dreamed of becoming a writer? Perhaps achieving the status of Stephen King or William Faulkner? Of course these two literary giants (in far different fields) had a talent few of us can comprehend or imitate; and whether or not you write a best seller is not something I can predict. I can tell you that it is possible to make a living writing online. And no, you do not have to be a Hemingway. However it would be helpful to have a decent command of the language and understand how to put your thoughts on paper.
The most valuable skill to have as an Internet Marketer is writing. Other people believe that the most valuable skill is email marketing, or sales marketing. But…if you learn the art of writing, then you’d able to write content for your website, write your own ebook, write your autoresponders emails and of course you can write your very own original articles. Articles are a way to get you unlimited traffic to your website by writing short articles related to the subject of that site.
Now is the time to start writing like a professional. No more just throwing your articles together just to submit a lot of articles. This is the reason you are not receiving tons of traffic to your website!
People, Web Wide are searching for quality information, not a bunch of wasted words that don’t make any sense. So stop wasting your readers time and start helping them. The truth about way it is: You must give before you receive. It is not the other way around.
Writing and submitting articles is becoming very popular. Why? Because of the traffic you receive to your website, getting high ranking from search engines.
You need article ideas. You probably already know that publishing and distributing online articles is one of the cheapest and surest ways to promote your web site. But perhaps you have just plain run out of ideas. Well stop staring at that computer screen and try the following.
Use Your Pages For Article Ideas
If you have a large website, you probably have a treasure trove of useful information and ideas for articles. Start going through it page by page. If the page hasn’t already been used to create an article, start rewriting it into one. Even better, read the page over once, close it, and then write a article from scratch on the topic. You’ll find that you have gained new insight since you first wrote that page, so why not share that with others.
Are you using a list to grow your article business? It is an important part of your long-term success. Having a good list can double the amount of income you generate over time. For that reason, it is important to maximize the number of visitors who subscribe to your list.
In order to achieve this, you need a good opt-in (squeeze) page. A squeeze page is a web page where visitors sign into your list. The better your squeeze page, the higher your opt-in percentages. Following, in reverse order, are the top 10 ways to substantially increase your opt-in numbers:
What’s a niche and why is it important to the articles you write?
The articles you write will not be read by everyone, only those who are interested in your topic. That group of people is your niche.

Don’t worry about all the other writers in your niche because they will not appeal to those who will relate to you.

Article marketing requires you to create a great resource box in order for you to be successful. And yet every day I see so many resource boxes that, well, suck.

I’ve been writing as a hobby for a long time. I’m not a great writer, but I’ve improved since I first started. Here are three things I’ve done to help me, and I hope new writers find them useful too.
1. Write, write, write! There is no question about it - the more we write, the more we improve. Conversely, we cannot improve without writing. I think one of the best ways to start writing is to have a blog. I really like blogging because it’s easily accessible, and easy to use.
Q: I get it that I need to write a lot of articles to make this work. My question is how do I find the time and the ideas to write a lot of articles?
