Article Publishing Is A Key Component Of Internet MarketingWritten by Kirk Bannerman
Frequently when I am communicating with other webmasters and I bring up subject of writing articles, I often get a response like "I'd rather have a root canal, I just can't write", or "my spelling is horrible and my grammar is not much better". In my view, first excuse is just a matter of attitude. The latter excuse falls on deaf ears because major word processing programs have good spelling and grammar checking capabilities.We're not talking about something that would qualify for Pulitzer prize in literature, just articles dealing with a topic that may be of interest to a group of people that also may happen to have an interest in your particular business proposition or activity. While not as dramatic as college professor's dilemma of "publish or perish", many Internet marketers have found that publicity and traffic that articles can bring to their websites is second only in importance to actually making sales. When writing articles, start out by clearly defining what you want to write about. Focus on topic and general message that you want to communicate. Sometimes you will start with a title and expand from there and other times title will be last thing you develop. Organize your material (be it knowledge, thoughts, or opinions) into a logical sequence or order. Don't try for finished product in first draft. Just let your mind, and words, flow and get some stuff down on paper. This may occur in a single session or, for longer articles, it may be done in several rough draft sessions perhaps broken into logical sections of what will eventually become your finished article.
