You need to investigate which type of service you want to start or expand into. Consider type of work that is done and who your customers are.

Make this a fun exercise and really do some daydreaming about how you see yourself enjoying this type of work. Too many people jump in and realize later on that they're not happy or even hate work!

Each type of service is relatively easy to get into with little or no cost (exceptions being carpet cleaning and janitorial). Examine your funds and determine how much you're willing to invest in yourself and your new venture.

This should be an enjoyable project for you and one that is very important to your future success. Be very creative and fantasize about how great or small you want your business to be. Record what thoughts come to mind as you go thru this process. Any concerns or negative thoughts? If you only get positive responses to your visualizations then take it to next level and see what comes up.

To start any successful business, you need to be able to see yourself in job and visualize exactly kind of life you will build with it.

Imagine steps you will need to go through to be in kind of business you vision. How will you get through each step? Can you start part-time and increase amount of time you spend in your business as you grow your customer base? How long do you think this will take?

If you're comfortable with your visulaized business, you'll need to start making plans and setting goals for yourself to make it a reality.

The more you visualize and more you document, better chance you have of your dream becoming a success.

But problem remains that it is still tedious to submit each article to every article bank every time you write a new one. This new move back to writing articles is fueled by same thing that webmasters are using to have their content written; outsourcing. People simply pay someone else to do this tedious work.

Companies like submityourarticle.com manually do submitting for you, though at a price (and it's not cheap). But if traffic is coming in and you are capitolazing on that traffic it's an investment worth making.

However, for those out there who don't want to pay a per article fee, an associate of mine, Jason Potash has been working on a solution to problem. A solution that is very soon to be released. Subscribers to my newsletter will get latest, and if you aren't keeping up with this ground breaking new trend you need to spend some time on internet marketing message boards to get latest news.

I don't have all details yet, Jason is keeping a little hush hush about it. But in a few weeks you'll probably hear about his new tool.

The conclusion, article writing has never been totally dead, but wave is coming back with a host of new tools and services to make process easier for webmasters to capitolize on. Get in groove, dust off type writer and start benefitting from free article writing traffic.
