*Do a quick survey - Write a two or three question survey and send it out to associates or discussion group members. You will find people are usually eager and willing to help in cases such as this.

For example: What concerns do you have for Internet marketing world? What resources do you need but have trouble finding?

These types of questions might give you some fresh ideas to expand on with an article.

*Read other articles - By reading other articles, you might possibly come up with an unusual twist or angle for an overused idea. It sometimes helps to get different views and insights on same old ideas.

Always have an open mind for article ideas. After awhile you will begin to see ideas all over Net. Keep a notebook handy and when you think of an idea, no matter where you are, you can write it down and use it. I get a lot of my ideas in middle of night when I cannot sleep. I have learned to write them down so they do not go into oblivion! ;-)

And remember, people want and need basic, straight forward, helpful information. They do not need college words, fancy storylines or over-dramatized articles.

Also, do not be afraid to give your articles a little personality and/or humor. Just write from heart and do your best to provide real usable resources and information. Write as if you were talking to person, not at person.

3. Make yourself accessible if someone wants to get in touch with you.

People want to know that they can get in touch with you if they have questions about your article, website, etc. Always make it easy for them to find you.

4. Provide basic, real, useful information as well as resources to go along with info.

When writing your article, try to list some useful resources that your readers can utilize along with information you give them. This will further give people a reason to want to stay in touch with you or your website.

5. Write from heart!

Do not be afraid to let your personality shine through in your writing. This will make people more apt to trust you and will also make them more comfortable. Write as if you were talking to a friend and let real you shine through. I think people appreciate this more than trying to sound like something you are not!

Do not let your doubts stop you from writing articles to build your reputation and your business. I did for awhile, but then took plunge. My first article did surprisingly well and yours can as well! ;-)
