I have found one of my top 3 strategies to build my business to be writing and submitting articles. Here's 10 ways writing and submitting articles can help you grow your business.

1. Submit them to e-zines and web sites for publishing. Include your resource box at end of article to get free advertising.

2. Combine your articles into a free e-book. You can place your business ad in e-book. Give it away to visitors and allow them to do same to multiply your advertising.

3. Create an article directory on your web site. People will visit your web site to get free information.

4. Submit your articles to print publications that pay for submissions. You can make extra income getting paid as a freelance writer.

I think Virginia Woolf intended for writers to understand that their work reflects who they are, where they have been, and what they will become.

Through an understanding of ourselves and becoming comfortable in our own skins, process of writing becomes more spontaneous and uninhibited. When we comprehend our unique writing gifts, we are aided in creating great stories. We become more confident more we accept and know ourselves.

When we tune into our needs and desires, we are more apt to free ourselves to use material from our own lives and lives of those who enrich us. Our characters become richer and more complex as we open ourselves up to all that we know about human condition.

So how does a writer begin? Start by looking at what motivates you as a writer. What keeps you coming back for more?

Some writers are driven by passion, others by fear, and even more are driven by both. What we wish for is also often what we fear. This plays out at an unconscious level for people all time.

Screenwriters, for example, wish to sell their scripts, dream of seeing their work on big screen, but may fear success that comes with it. It is only natural to fear what we know little about. We are creatures of habit. Change is never easy no matter how attractive outcome.
