You don't have to be a master writer to convert your ideas into an article that will draw enormous amounts of traffic to your site.

Pick one idea and go with it. 

Don't confuse your readers with scattered thoughts on several subjects you should keep your articles to about 500-750 words at the most, and that's just enough to explore one idea. Besides, you need to save the rest of your ideas for more articles.

Your article should tie in with the theme of your site/product whenever possible. 

This way, you'll be attracting every targeted, interested visitors.

Save your ads and self-promotion for your resource box "About The Author" at the end. 

If your article is one big advertisement, no respectable newsletter owner will publish it, and even if they did, it won't get read. Provide quality information, not a lead-in to your product.

Triple check your spelling and grammar. 

No, it doesn't have to be stuffy and formal. In fact, that causes most Internet readers to glaze over and click away, but make sure that your readers aren't stumbling over your spelling errors while they are reading and that your meaning is clear. If this is not your strong point, find someone who can help you edit.

Develop a list of newsletter editors and sites that accept articles for publishing. 

Start with the ones you subscribe to, many mention where to submit articles, or you can email the publisher directly and ask. Once you've developed relationships with several of these online publishers, they'll be likely to run most (if not all) of your articles.

Prepare Your Article for Promotion

Once you have your article ready, prepare an professional email to send site owners. Although you are going to be offering these sites free content, you'll need to sell them on the benefits of posting your articles on their web sites.

Always remind them that quality information is the key reason what people are searching for. If their site is the one that provides the kind of credible information people are looking for, they stand a better chance of earning their visitors' confidence, and moreover their business.

Some sites are going to be dominant within your target market. You may want to contact those site owners by phone. This little extra effort can make a real difference, and getting your article posted on an important site will open all kinds of opportunity for you. Tell other sites that some of their biggest competitors are already posting your content. This may encourage them to add your article to their site.

Another way you can get a lot of free exposure is by posting your article on content syndication sites. These are sites that provide content to other sites on the Web, either free or a small monthly fee. Some of these syndication sites provide news and articles to thousands of other sites. This can be a great way to increase your visibility. These sites won't pay you for the articles you write for them, but the exposure that you can get from thousands of sites posting your article will make writing your articles well worth your time.

Where To Promote Your Articles

This has to be the most sought after information on the Web. While giving away free content might not sound like a very good business decision, by now you must see how providing expert content to other sites can actually have a huge impact on your bottom line.

Deciding where to submit your article should be in your marketing plan. When people come online looking for information you stand the best chance of securing the site owner's business, and yours.

In summary, deciding what to write should be easy. Write about what you know. If you're selling fishing equipment, for example, you probably have extensive knowledge about fishing. What a better way to build credibility and drive qualified traffic to your site than by getting other fishing-related sites to post your educational fishing article?

When contacting these sites, make sure to keep the emphasis on how their business will benefit from posting your articles on their site. These webmasters are always looking for free content, and many of them rely on the free content sites. And if you own a web site, place your article on your site. The URL of your article will be put in HTML. This will not only ensure that your article looks professional to everyone who reads it, it will also make it extremely easy for business owners to take the reformatted HTML and add it to their own sites.
