I'm not sure if many of you know it, but writing articles is one of the best ways to receive free advertising. Don't misunderstand me, you shouldn't be writing small, skimpy, misinformed information that contains no valuable information that is of little help just to get a few more advertising spots in. It should be used to increase your respect throughout the web space, while truly revealing something innovative and/or something, which is somewhat misunderstood. The more people that actually learn from you, apply your principles, and actually become a success, the more people you'll have knocking at your door seeking you out because you are reputable, honorable, and your looking out more for them then you.

You see, when you begin to actually care for people and show that through your writing people will begin to trust you more and be more accepting of what you have to offer. Now there are some important points and/or guidelines you should follow when you write articles and these will really make them sparkle.

1) Make it clear, easily understood, and as if you are talking to the reader.
People don't like to feel stupid when he/she reads, so don't make them feel that way. Don't use complicated wording and/or words that when read, need to be deciphered by a dictionary and a thesaurus. Write as if you were having a conversation with the reader, peaking his/her interest and making the article more interactive, don't you think?

2) Give them something valuable.
Try to hit on a subject that isn't usually written on, or hasn't been explained well. Don't you hate reading articles that aren't even addressing the topic in the first place or are specifically just trying to advertise something. Keep the advertising to a minimal and the content valuable and you will get more people checking out everything you have to say.

3) Submit your article wherever you can.
Look for article directories to submit your article. In each article make it in a similar format as mine, where you talk a bit about you in the end and what you do. This is where your advertising is, and when you actually hit on the past points, people will be more then happy to see what you are about.

Below is a huge list of article directories that you may use. Remember the more places you submit your article, the more people will see what you offer.
