Write an Article a Month

Locate 20 e-zines that target the same audience that you do. Make sure they accept articles. Create a text file and record their e-mail address (where you will send your articles), e-zine's title and publisher's name. If you want to save even more time in the long run, enter all this data into a mailing list program so all you have to do is click the "Send" button and your articles will be sent to everyone on the list.

Write one quality and informative article a month of interest to your target audience and do the following:

• Add a resource box to the article about you & your service or product
• Post your article on your web site for content
• Add TITLE and META tags to it and submit to Search Engines
• Submit it to the e-zine list you generated earlier
• Submit it to article directories and lists

Here is a list of the most popular article directories and lists:

1. Yahoo Article Announce
2. Writers Weekly
3. EzineArticles.com
4. AuthorConnection.com
5. GoArticles.com
6. Women's eNews
7. Writing World
8. Radio Free Doubt
9. InkBurns
10. Cafe Irreal
11. Recorsive Angel

Follow this plan for at least 6 months. Make sure your articles are of high quality and offer a solution to a problem that your target customers might be facing. If your articles are published, expect an increase in traffic to your web site. And, your freebie should take care of capturing your visitors e-mails. Now your web site is set up and the promotion strategy is in place.
