Now it’s time for you to implement one of the MOST profitable Internet marketing strategies of all. It’s time to write YOUR OWN article or have one written for you so that you can post it on your own blog or get it published in *other* blogs, websites and email newsletters for FREE!
Why would you want to do that?
Because getting YOUR OWN articles written, distributed and published on the Internet is one of the very best online marketing technique in existence. Think about it…
Once you have an article written where YOU are the author, you become an instant authority. When people find your article, read it and get some good information from it, they appreciate YOU.
That appreciation then grows into trust and when they click the link in your article resource box to visit your website, they will be much more likely to sign up with you in one of your recommended business opportunities or buy one of your recommended products.
Also, the more links you get on other high-quality, high-traffic websites that point back to your site, the more traffic you’ll get and money you can make online.
It’s really that simple.
Plus, once you get one of YOUR articles published on someone else’s blog or website, that article and the links within it are probably going to remain there for LIFE.
In fact, there are articles I distributed more than 5 years ago that are still pulling in traffic and profits to my website today and they are likely to STILL be working for me 10 or more years from now. Think carefully about that… 🙂
Getting your articles published on other people’s websites is 100% FREE advertising for life.

OK, then… You know publishing articles is a good thing.
Here’s how to put this strategy into action right away:
First, you need to decide if you want to write your own articles or pay someone to write articles for you.
Let’s examine the options.
1) Write your own article.
One main benefit of writing your own articles is that it’s “free” and only costs a little bit of your time. Also, writing your own articles will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. Further, many people are “natural educators”.
You might *ENJOY* writing articles and sharing information about what you know. Plus, an article written in your own voice is usually better than someone else’s voice.
TIP: You might not feel like you know enough to write a good article. I disagree wholeheartedly. Simply write a short article about 500 words long about things you’ve learned in your journey of building an Internet business.
Take 15 minutes or so to brainstorm for ideas about what you want to write about, put those ideas into a short outline making 3-4 major points within the body of the article and then fill in the blanks with your own point of view. It’s pretty simple and I know you can do it now if you really want to! 🙂
2) Hire someone to write articles for you.
This is a great solution for people who are not comfortable writing their own articles. You might feel like you don’t know enough or you simply might not enjoy writing…
You should NEVER let either of these factors stop you from authoring your own articles and getting them published online. Just use an article ghostwriting service like this one:

For a small fee you can select how many articles you want written and what topic you want your articles to be about.
NOTE: For article marketing on the Internet, I suggest having articles written that are somewhere between 300-400 words. The purpose of your articles is to promote your blog.
Therefore, when choosing to write your own articles or hiring someone to write articles for you, you’ll want to have your articles written about one or more of these topics or something generally related to these topics.
Why do you want to write articles (or have them written for you) that relate to the content of your website?
Because once people start reading your articles, you’ll be viewed as an authority on whatever subject matter your article is about. Once you’ve established that “expert status” in your reader’s mind and they come to visit your website through the link in your article resource box, this person will already trust you and be interested in what is on your site.
That’s how visitors become buyers. People will read your article, visit your site, click on the links to learn more about the opportunities and products presented on your site and then they often buy something.
Here’s how to get your article published now:
One of the best ways to promote your website and your Plug-In Profit Site affiliate link online is to write and submit articles to article directories. As discussed earlier, people primarily get online looking for INFORMATION.
If you start providing information that other people can find and benefit from, you’ll become an “expert”. As an expert, people will trust your recommendations and they will buy products, services and opportunities that you recommend.
The reason you want to write and submit articles to article directories is so that other people can find your articles through various websites, read your article and then visit the link in your article resource box which points to your website.
An article resource box is basically just an ad at the end of your article that allows the reader of your article to learn more about you and the products you promote.
Here’s how the process usually works:
- You write an article (or hire someone to write an article for you).
- You submit that article to article directories (websites that accept article submissions).
- Other people visit those article directories and read your articles. If a person likes your article, they are very likely to visit the website listed in your resource box.
- Other webmasters visit those article directories looking for articles they can reprint on their own website. Website owners are constantly looking for new articles to include on their site. When they publish your article on their website, they are required to include links to your website.
- Other email newsletter (ezine) publishers visit those article directories looking for articles they can reprint in their newsletter. Ezine publishers are constantly looking for new articles to include in their newsletter. When they publish your article in their newsletter, they are required to include YOUR resource box (and ad for your website).
So the ultimate benefit of submitting articles to article directories is that you will become an “expert”, you’ll get free traffic to your website and you’ll start making sales through the sites you promote in your resource box! 🙂
Pretty awesome stuff, isn’t it?! Let’s get started…
Whenever you submit an article, you’ll be asked for a “Resource Box” or an “About the Author” section. This is where you get your free promotion.
Your next step is simply to decide how you want to submit your articles… You can do it by hand one site at a time. Or you can automate your article submissions and get your article posted to hundreds of different websites instantly!
Submitting your articles and getting them re-published on other people’s websites and newsletters is probably the most powerful Internet marketing strategy of all. And, for the most part, it’s free. Once you get your article re-published on another site, that’s prime-time advertising space that you will never pay a penny for!!!
Plus, once you get the article submitted, it can be working for you forever. There are articles that I submitted over 5 years ago that are pulling in traffic and sales for me today.
In fact, I bet that many of those same articles I submitted years ago will still be working for me 10 or more years from now… That’s because most webmasters don’t remove your articles from their site.
Instead, they just keep building their own site’s content with your articles and working hard to drive traffic to their site. Now, with your article on their site, they will be working hard to drive traffic to you!
Now you have everything it takes to build your own fortune with article marketing. The only thing standing between you and piles of cash is a little bit of elbow grease.
Repeat this process with each new article you write. Article marketing is *very* powerful. There are marketers online who make a full-time income using ONLY this strategy.
I encourage you to start submitting one new article every week from now on. If you are using the services I recommended above, this entire process can take you as little as 30 minutes of work per week…
However, it will be the most rewarding 30 minutes of your life because article marketing can bring you free traffic and profits forever.
It will take a little bit of time to get the ball rolling, but once it’s rolling, the only way to stop it is to shut down your site. Never underestimate the power of article submissions. It’s a ticket to financial freedom!
I encourage you not to move forward until you’ve acted on the steps outlined in today’s marketing lesson. Submitting articles is one of the best marketing strategy of all, so I encourage you to stop here and take some massive action on what you have learned here on this page right away.
