Written by Mike Morris


When I was first advised to start writing articles, this wasrepparttar first question I asked. As I was totally freaked out atrepparttar 116438 thought of me writing for others to read. Many people subscribe to e-zines andrepparttar 116439 readers often trustrepparttar 116440 recommendation of their editors. By sending articles to e-zines you will get valued visitors to your web-site. For each article you get published by them,repparttar 116441 traffic to your website is increased. What is there to gain from publishing e-zine articles? Atrepparttar 116442 end of your article you can add a resource box. With this you can brand your web site, business and yourself. In it you could include your name, business name, web site address, e-mail address, anything really that brands your business. Become a GURU! By publishing regularly you will become known as an expert onrepparttar 116443 topics you write about. This gives you an advantage that helps you compete by giving you and your business extra credibility. Some articles are placed on a publisher’s home page.

This was very frustrating. After spending so much time, money and offering really good business proposals I could not find enough takers.

I often felt like shouting - "Hey, look here. I have everything you are looking for. I have schemes to make your life. I am there to help you all along. Why don't you come to me?" But it was I who needed help. I learnedrepparttar 116438 basic lessonrepparttar 116439 hard way - wishful thinking is not enough.

It's a weird thought but I often feel like enteringrepparttar 116440 minds ofrepparttar 116441 people to find out what exactly they want. What is it in my presentation that upsets them? And what will retain them?

There is a way to enterrepparttar 116442 minds of your prospects - become your own customer. Think like your customer. As a customer of your product where will you go looking for it?

By readingrepparttar 116450 article readers develop a faith inrepparttar 116451 author and tend to follow his advice.
