Those lovely links back to your website are one thing you want to achieve by publishing articles. There is, however, another way to use articles which you write yourself. If you write an article and publish in only on your own Blog or your own website, search engines will look favourably upon you since one of things they are reputed to like is unique content. Now you have a dilemma. Which is better for promoting your online marketing business: broadcasting an article for links and possibility of making sales to people who click through from your resource box link or making article a unique feature of your website?

Dilemma solved: it is really quite easy to do both. You can use same article for widespread publicity for your online marketing business as well as for unique website content. The way to achieve this is to make subtle changes to article after it has been submitted to article directories for publication. You can write an additional paragraph (which preferably should be rich in your chosen keywords) for use with article only on your website or make subtle changes throughout article. With a little practice you will be able to do both these things in practically no time at all and produce two quite different pieces of search engine bait from one article. By doing this you can effectively and easily double advertising value of each article you write.

Ok, I know it's not really magic but you'll find it works like a charm!

Highs and lows were something that I began to notice when I first started a home based business. I have many years of top level management experience in "traditional" corporations and have experienced lots of business cycles (corporate "ups and downs"), but natural "ups and downs" that occur in a home business (particularly in early stages) can be emotionally brutal if you don’t prepare yourself in advance for fact that it is a basic law of nature...it will be a rocky road until you have spent enough time and effort to build your business to a level that sort of smoothes out peaks and valleys.

The impact of highs and lows you will probably experience in developing your home based business is amplified by fact that you are now in business on your own. You are boss and get to make all decisions, but you are also on your own in dealing with frustrations that will occur along way while you are developing your business.
