This can be as long as you need it to be to cover all of key points you are trying to convey to your audience.

Use bullet points to highlight key content.

Fill body up with keywords that relate to topic you are writing about. Search engines crave fresh content and keywords help draw attention to your article.

The Conclusion

It can be a whole paragraph or it can be one short sentence. Your goal is to finish your article and let reader know there is nothing else to be said.

If you are writing an article that is pursuading your reader to take further action then you want to do that in conclusion. Give them desire to take another step.

The Resource Box.

Can you explain what you do or what you sell in 5 lines of no more that 60 characters each. This is a great place to promote yourself, your website, your newsletter, an eBook etc.

The resource box is basically a classified ad that in a non-threatening way leads your reader to want to learn more.

If you want to make money at home writing articles is a great way to do it. It is also an inexpensive way to do it. In our next article we will talk about getting your article read and some of best places to submit your article online.

When anyone starts up a business, there are costs involved. These might include such things as rent, utilities, inventory, personnel, etc. With traditional “brick and mortar” business, cost can be overwhelmingly prohibitive. Some of these can be reduced or eliminated if you are only person involved and you work out of your garage, off your kitchen table, or whatever. However you still are investing time, effort, and if you are making and/or selling something, you invest in inventory. If your business involves a service rather than a product, there may still be inventory and personnel involved. Think maid service or day care, for example. No matter what, there is always your time and effort. It takes that four letter word, W-O-R-K.

When you start up an internet business, you usually work from your own home on your own computer. So far, so good; no additional costs here. However, you still must advertise and/or market whatever business you are in. Amazingly enough, even though nearly every “brick and mortar” business has a website, there are people who sign up to join an internet business opportunity who balk when it comes to having their own website to market their business. Perhaps they think cost is prohibitive, or they think they have to understand html or something. But registering a domain name (you know, www.whatever.com or .net or .biz or…) can be done for $5-10 per year (not month) and there is plenty of software available that will allow you to design a web site without knowing anything about any of computer languages. There are hosting plans that put your site on internet for $30/month or less. Some even pay you for recruiting others so that you wind up with your site being hosted for free!

So if you are serious about starting an internet business and claiming your share of abundance that’s available, leave your nest a.k.a. comfort zone, invest your time, your effort, and your money wisely, and let’s get started!
