OK, so now you can see power of writing articles as a method of generating traffic to your website. How heck do you find other people to publish your work? Thanks to fact that so many publishers out there don't have time or (so they believe) ability to write their own articles, or are looking for articles to supplement their own, you have a ready-made market of thousands of publishers who are always on lookout for quality content to present to their readers. You just have to find them.

Here's a partial list to get you started:

Yahoo Groups (submit from Yahoo Groups website at http://groups.yahoo.com/ - you'll need to subscribe to these groups first):

When submitting your articles to above websites, be sensitive to types of articles site is looking for. Some accept articles on any subject under sun, others are looking for articles on specific subjects such as internet marketing, for example.

Over time, you will be able to add to this list. If submitting to individual ezine publishers, don't be surprised or offended if you don't receive a response. Most ezine publishers of any size receive dozens of article submissions a day. Time normally doesn't permit a response to each submission. Also, try and find out from publisher whether they even accept article submissions. Many don't (me, for example). I receive many article submissions a day which just get deleted unread.

The point is, just work up your own list, write articles consistently and submit consistently. Over time, you'll develop your own style of writing and attract a following.

Although it may be slow to start, you'll start getting a trickle of new traffic from people who have come across your article somewhere, some place and were interested enough to click on link in your resource box. Over time, that trickle will become a stream, then a river, and then a flood.

During high craziness of dot com boom, I had some fun imagining a changed world in which people worked from home in midst of their families. I observed that this was a very natural way for human being to live, that for thousands of years people worked at home with their families, and that perhaps technology would finally allow us to return to a more familiar lifestyle. The act of going away to work each day, after all, was a mere 100-year interruption from our natural state. Now it was time to get back to farm.

For part five years, I have made my living from home while raising young children. Most of women I know, and at least half of men, view my situation as enviable. For me it was partly choice, partly opportunity. For writers, working at home is not that unusual. I didn't have to give up a bustling career to work at home. The Internet further allowed me to participate in business journalism internationally. I remember getting out of shower one morning and having my five-year-old daughter tell me that Erika called. "Erika who?" I asked.

"Erika from Sweden," she beamed. Sure enough, a source had returned my call and had a charming conversation about Daddy in shower.

Over years, my picture of people returning home to work is slowly coming true. And from my personal poll of friends, family and acquaintances, it's not happening nearly fast enough. There are now forces of technology, opportunity and personal interest pushing trend. Don't be surprised if a good portion of laid-off workforce decides to stay at home and work once economy gets back into growth mode.
