Writing Articles for Distribution

Writing articles for distribution can bring more traffic and more sales for your site than any other technique. It always leads to more optins, which then lead to more sales, and more exposure. It is a self-feeding loop that grows your business nonstop.

IHaving articles accepted by widely circulated e-zines and published on high-traffic web sites is far more valuable than having one ads appear below someone else's article. Readers may look at those ads, but they often read the articles with much more interest.

Get the Word Out
Many web business owners have their own e-zines because these publications are such a well-recognized method of establishing relationships with visitors and maintaining relationships with customers. Sometimes site owners will include your writing on their sites permanently, in addition to e-zine publication, if the piece deals with an issue of interest to their viewers.

Site owners are often looking for content for their e-zines, and monitoring discussion lists for insightful posts is one way they find writers. So joining an online discussion can bring you unexpected benefits.

Swap Meet
You can also establish article swapping with some groups of publishers, where all agree to run each other's articles in discussion lists or on sites. This can lead to a cross-pollination of ideas and to the growth of each other's lists.

Friends First
Instead of placing ads meant to distract and sell, write articles meant to instruct and entertain. They are different means to the same end, but the latter establishes rapport and respect from viewers — ideally — while the former interrupts and often annoys viewers with hyperbole and sales pitches. Persons who purchase products and services based on informative articles will prove to be far more willing and long-lasting customers than those who were cajoled by crafty ads.
