Write an article and submit it...

`But I can`t write a lick`, you say.

Well, read on because I`m going to show you how you can write
an article easily and quickly.

Pick a subject you know something about and research it...

Don`t try to copy what others are doing. The way you become
well-known on the net is to become an authority on a
particular subject.

So choose a subject you know a lot about, read up all you can
about that subject so you have the latest info at hand, and
then start writing.

Make sure it`s a subject you`re passionate about.

Passion or enthusiasm is infectious. It has a way of drawing
others into the story, capturing their imagination and
igniting excitement in your readers.

Your article or story should be potent enough to motivate your
readers to take action.

Keep it a la natural...

Write the way you talk. Imagine you are sitting next to your
uncle or aunt and you are trying to explain to them what it is
that excites you.

Try to use plain English minus the froth and bubble. People
respond more easily and quickly to genuine feelings and
thoughts than they do to hype and an over use of adjectives.

The more natural you are when you write, the more ordinary
people will be able to identify themselves with you and your
topic.

Weave the story...

Every subject or topic has a story woven into it`s fabric. Your
task is to extract the story and then tell it in your own
words.

Next construct the framework for telling the story clearly and
concisely. To do this ask yourself these questions. What does
the story mean to me? How does this story affect my life? What
does it make me think about? What feelings rise up as I think
about it? Why do others need to hear this story?

What you are doing here is mining the essence of the story so
you can impart its wisdom to your readers in way that will
affect them positively.

Sub it...

Once you have the broad idea for your story. Write it down.
Then go through it a number of times with a fine tooth comb
and pick out 4-5 places where you can insert a sub-heading.

Sub heads grab the readers attention and draw them into the
next part of the story.

This will also tell you whether your story has continuity. Does
it make you want to read the next paragraph.

Publish it...

Once you have your story written, researched it so its
factually accurate, told it in plain English, woven your
enthusiasm throughout it and you`re happy with the finished
product...

PUBLISH IT...

Get it out there. Send to ezine owners who are looking for good
articles to use in their ezines. There are thousands of
publishers on the web who constantly search for good articles
to share with their readers.

Here are a few good places that may publish your finished work
and they are free... http://www.goarticles.com/ (http://www.

And the point is...

Don`t be afraid to write an article or submit it. If it`s
accepted and gets published you could see a sudden influx of
new readers and buyers fast.
