An article is a piece of news, just like an article in the newspaper or magazine. There are articles all over the Internet as well. You could create articles to be read as news, and spread them all over the internet. If you were to invest in advertising in the local paper with an ad for your business, they day after your ad is run, you are done. But when you advertise on the internet with an article, it NEVER dies. STEP ONE: Have an article written We recommend you have your article written by a professional, instead of doing it yourself. It will be a lot better and faster, most likely. You can do a search on the Internet for "professional copywriters" or "articles". Or consider these: Elance.com ThePhantomWriters.com Here are some tips: Create a summary about your article. Needs to be between 300 and 500 words long. Have your viewers learn and benefit from content. Have a call to action at the bottom with your site link. You might get a better deal to have more than one written at the same time (perhaps you might want to make a product article and an opportunity article). Have it approved by your company. STEP TWO: Submit your Article Once you have written an article, you will want to submit it to "article submission" sites. An article submission site is one that will post your article to many places at once for you. Once you have submitted your article to one article submission website, other websites will pick up your information and pass it around as well. Of course it would be best for you to submit your article to as many different article submission sites as possible for maximum exposure. Here is a list of article submission sites that you can start submitting your articles. This task is a little time consuming, but well worth it!
