Writing down ... ... tha I find that writing articles based on my own knowledge and life experiences is the best means of internet marketing. In other words, you are BRANDING yourself. Writing down information (valuable), that can inform and most importantly, HELP others through SHARING.A few words of advice here...Just write in your own UNIQUE and distinctive style - what comes naturally to you. Be yourself in your writing and you will find that the words will flow. Use your individual area of expertise (and/or interests) to help others through sharing your unique knowledge and experiences of the magical journey that is life.Then submit your articles to relevant ezines in your area of interest or expertise, and/or publishers resources - lists like Shelley Lowery's Article Announce, Mike Valentine's Free-Content, Angela Giles-Klocke's TheWriteArticles, PromoteYour Article and Free-eContent. All very useful lists, that we regularlyuse.Their web adresses are:http://www.egroups.com/group/article_announce [email protected]://www.yahoogroups.com/group/Free-ContentAlso,Publisher Network: [email protected]@[email protected] finally [email protected] are all an excellent source of information and many ezine publishers source relevant articles from these lists.Sometimes even ezines with huge readerships pick up articles.I believe that this strategy is the most effective form of TARGET MARKETING... that get's us the best results on a very limited advertising budget (like most start up home online businesses)...and best of all it's BRANDING oneself through free advertising.A few final words to summarise...Why not start WRITING ARTICLES for the www and see what happens...transpires (nice word, eh?).You DON'T have to be a "professional" writer to write articles. You know more about the subject matter (based on your past knowledge and experiences) and especially YOUR business.

Success is never instantaneous - in any field of endeavour. For a while it may appear as if you are not making a noticable difference through your substantial efforts (in time and dedication put in ). However, just keep "chipping away" at your online marketing long enough and I can assure you, you WILL get noticed with web traffic...even though it may take awhile. The key to internet marketing success is PERSISTENCE - taking the small steps daily and making them HABITS.Ingrained...like writing articles!This whole business of internet marketing has been one long learning curve for us over the past five years - seeing what works and what doesn't... like the lessons of life itself.Finally...Just make a beginning. Take that first step and you'll find that one step naturally leads to the next.As the ancient Chinese proverb so wisely said: "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a broken fanbelt and a leaky tyre... er sorry, a single step".Good luck with those first few steps in writing articles for the www (without a broken and leaky pen) and ENJOY the journey.
