A great way to get word out about your business in a hurry is something so simple and effective yet few marketers online take advantage of it.

What if you can advertise for free and get potentially thousands of people to see your message? What if this same concept is viral and starts spreading all over internet?

What if this same concept builds trust and credibility and brands you online as an expert? What could it possibly be?

It's staring you right in face and you don't even know it! It's called Article Writing.

Publishers are always looking for content for their ezine. You can give them that content by writing an article about something you know about or by sharing your experiences and if they like your article they will then publish it.

I started my own online business in 1998. I was convinced of its value. I was convinced that this is right thing for me to do, as it was one of most efficient way’s to start out on Internet as far as marketing was concerned.

But one fine day, it all came crashing down. I was a promoter for a certain group of companies. I made a better than average income. I made a lot of money for group of companies I promoted.

One fine day, when they went belly up, so did I.

Did you learn a lesson here?

I had nothing to hold on to! I had no real business of my own, I had no name brand, I had no product or service of my own. I, had nothing except my old commission pay stubs.

I was in business but I had no business of my own. I was without an image, without a brand name, without a business identity. I was just another promoter. A faceless promoter who needed to reinvent and re-introduce another marketing game plan.

I don’t have all answers to making it big on Internet. But I am convinced - buying an e-book where writer claims to make $100,000 won’t translate same for me.
