If you are just starting a work from home business, or have had an Internet home business for a while, you will need to write content. This could be in the form of writing articles for your business blog or for article directories. The reason content is so important, is because the major search engines are making it part of their search algorithms for page rankings.
You must publish content on a regular basis, at lest 3-4 time a week. The more articles you write the better, not only for rankings, but to establish yourself as an expert in your niche.
Article marketing is a great way to generate traffic to your website. A good article should entice the reader into wanting to know more about you and your products. It should establish that you are an expert in your field and that you are someone who is trustworthy.
What makes a great article?
Information
At the heart of every article, is the information contained within it. You need to find educational information, that people will truly find useful. Learn enough about this information, so as to appear as an authority source. This may require a large amount of research, if you are not that familiar with the niche.
Structure
A great article will be easy to read. Write in short paragraphs, avoid masses of continuous text, as this is a big turn off.
You should make use of bullet points and section headings, so that it encourages people to read it. This makes it easy for them to find the information and process it.
Style
The core information is very important, but it is also essential that people actually enjoy reading your article. Your article should have entertainment value.
A great way of drawing interest to your article, is to a tell personal story. This also adds credibility to your article, because people can then see that you have actual experienced it.
Writer’s Resource Box

You want people to click through to your website or sign up to your Newsletter. Tell them about your experience in the niche.
