and see what popular topics are being discussed and select one related
to your Home Based Business theme.

attention of the Audience. Success or Failure of your article is to a
great extent dependent on your title. It is worth spending quite some
time over this very important aspect.

that is Concise Powerful and Absorbing. It should be such that the
reader would want to continue reading the article right up to your
Resource Box.

Good Content is what the reader is interested in. Keep in mind the
popular saying "Content is King". Your article should be of high
quality, Thought provoking, Informative, Precise and Accurate. Articles
written sincerely from the heart are greatly appreciated and accepted
by the audience because they realize that you are trying to be helpful
and before long a rapport is established between you and the audience.

awareness and success of your articles is greatly dependent on your key
words and where you place them. The keywords should be judiciously
placed in the Title of your article, in the Introduction paragraph, in
the Concluding paragraph and in the main Body of the article. It should
not interrupt the flow of the article, be excessive and be seen as
keyword stuffing.
6. RESOURCE BOX
One of the main purposes of article writing is to obtain a one way link
and generate traffic to your site. For this the Resource Box is of
utmost importance. Place a resource box at the end of the article with
a very brief description of yourself or your product along with your
name and URL. Double check your URL since this is your life line for
both your link and traffic.

various article directories and submission sites. All of them have
their own submission rules. It is important that you study them before
submitting your article. Failure to do so will mean that your article
may not get published and all your efforts will be in vain.

assured of a surge of targeted traffic and increased link popularity.
In addition you will soon be accepted as an authority and expert in
your field. Isn't it wonderful!
