They put most of their effort into another technique that's just as powerful and is much more under their control.

They write Ezine Articles.

There are tens of thousands of Ezines being published every month, with a collective audience of millions.

And editors of most of those Ezines are all looking for quality content for their newsletters.

If you master this technique you can get your name and your website URL in front of 100,000 or even a million readers.

Right now there's a shortage of good Ezine Articles.

So, if you write well and you know how to do research on Internet, there's a huge market waiting for you.

But there are some tips for writing and publishing Ezine Articles. Here they are:

(A) Writing Your Ezine Articles:

(1) Pick a topic that you know something about (however little) and then go to Search Engines and find as many websites as you can that deal with that subject.

As well as collecting information for your article, make a note of any URLs that offer free resources dealing with topic of your article. Include those URLs in your article.

(2) Once you've done basic research, write title of your article in middle of a blank page and circle it. Then jot down your information in lines that radiate out from your title, like spokes of a wheel. This technique is called 'Mind Mapping' and it's a very effective way of organizing your ideas.

(3) An increasing number of Ezine Publishers will not accept articles that are promoting a product you sell. So, keep your article free of affiliate links; avoid mentioning any products or services for which you receive a commission.

(4) At end of your article, attach a 5- or 6-line 'Resource Box' that includes your website URL and/or your email address.

To help you get started, I've provided following tips to show you how to write your own profitable articles -- articles that capture your readers' attention and that e-zine publishers would like to place in their publication.

1. Put a lot of thought into title of your article.

A good title will grab your readers' attention and encourage them to read through your article.

2. Keep introduction and conclusion of your article short.

3. Keep your article focused on one topic.

4. Provide resources to your readers that deal with subject of your article.

5. Write your article as a list of tips.

This is a very easy and effective way to present your information and hold your readers' interest.

When writing your article, keep your tips brief, even just two or three lines, and use numbers to list tips in your article. This will allow your readers to go quickly from one tip to next as well as keep your article neatly organized and easy to read.

6. Write a how-to article.
