What Will You Do Differently in 2010?
- You write, have written or otherwise obtain (legally!) articles, preferably about your product or service
- Each article has your web link
- You distribute the articles to hundreds of free article directories
- People go the the directories for information and while there they either download your article to place on their site, in their newsletter, or whatever
- Many of the people who read your article click on your site link to find out more about you, your product or service
- Some who visit will buy from you
By now, you can see the benefit of article marketing, but you've got one question: "How long would it take to write articles and distribute them?"
That was the question I asked when I began article marketing about eight years ago and I'll tell you the answer shortly. In the meantime, see my articles at Ezinearticles.com. My articles are done for profit and pleasure ie, I like writing, so many of the articles although drawing traffic to my sites, aren't there for the explicit purpose of generating income.
I have 83 articles on Ezinearticles and the same, and other articles on about 345 other sites. The exposure it gets me is incredible. I get dozens of visits a week from my articles. You can too.
Now, here's the answer to the question.
There is software that will find existing articles in free article directories that are related to your products or services. For example, if you sell golf clubs, you can use the software to pick up 500 articles about golf. Then you can place those articles on your site to increase search engine exposure, or you can create additional articles and distribute them.
You'll be pleased to know that there is software available to distribute the articles too. This can all be done inexpensively and within minutes.
The latest, most recent software enables you to create unique articles and distribute them automatically to hundreds of article sites. You can generate massive traffic increases to your sites within days with this software.
You can see a review of the top article marketing software programs at my site here. Alternatively, you can visit the main site and get more in depth information or read the dozens of testimonials from current users of the software.

Learn How to Design and Build Web Sites
In the early days of website designing, designers had to have a sound knowledge of HTML coding and know something of Javascript, graphics, design rules, and much more. It wasn't the type of job that anyone could just pick up without years of study and experience. The good news is that's all changed.
There is now software that will do most of the website design work for you. Not only that, it's so good that at the click of a button you can ad Ad Sense ad capability, shopping carts, affiliate links and much more.
Imagine ...
You wake up one morning and have a terrific idea for a new online business.
You grab a notebook and pen and take yourself off to your favorite cafe, order yourself a skinny latte and take a seat in the corner.
You take out your notebook and start to map out the website for your new business. Within just a few minutes things are starting to take shape and you can feel your heart racing with excitement.
Even before your coffee has cooled down enough for you to drink it, you know that your germ of an idea has great potential and you know just what you need to do to make it a reality.
You take a sip of your coffee and make a list of exactly what research you need to undertake, and then you move onto fleshing out the website itself.
Your head is swimming with great ideas for the kind of content you can include, the web pages you’ll need and the mechanisms that you’ll want to include for capturing e-mail addresses and processing payments.
Before taking the last sip of your latte you know you’re onto a surefire winner and you know just what you need to do to maximize the chances of success.
You put your notebook back in your pocket, walk back to the car, and drive home with that wonderfully exciting feeling that comes with knowing that you’re making amazing progress. Where once there was a lack of confidence and nervousness about what needed to be done, there is now the calmness that comes from knowing that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to bring your idea to life.
If you have ever wanted to be a website design specialist, today is the best time ever to do it. You can have the tools and the knowledge within days. All you need then is to get to work. And here's a tip. If I was starting this type of business, I'd go through the telephone book and get the details of every firm that doesn't have a website. I'd contact them and convince them that nobody in business can afford not to have a website advertising their products or services 24/7. How much work do you think I'd pick up at a couple of thousand dollars per hit?
If you want a career in website design, today is the best day to start. Check out the Complete Guide to Website Building now. (Get in early for a discount)

Getting Your Writing Right
When you write for business, write for your audience.
Many people in Australia are immigrants. They use English as another language. Their levels of understanding range from poor to very proficient. Many are learning English or using it at a simple level.
We need to write for them to understand our key messages.
This can be done by using:
- short, succinct sentences
- short paragraphs
- simple words eg,write about instead of approximately
- headings
- advance organisers such as charts
- links to dictionaries for difficult words (examples in this text)
- images and graphics that help explain concepts
- use bullet points or numbering to create lists
Even the choice of our typeface can improve understanding. For example, if the words are too close together, readers may have difficulty knowing where one word ends and another begins. I've experienced this problem with native Arabic speakers.
A useful tool I have in my writer's tool box is Intellisoft's XMailWrite text editor. Why do I use it? Because it analyzes my text giving me readability statistics, a word count and much more.
Originally intended for writing email messages, it is perfect for general writing for blogs, Internet pages, letters or anything else where you need a high readability level. It's absolutely perfect for instructional media or user-guide writing.
You can save your text as a TXT file or convert it to HTML depending on your use. You can do what I'm doing today; cutting and pasting into a blog post.
Intellisoft produced this software and gives it away free. If you haven't heard of Intellisoft, you need to visit their site and read up on their Site Management Software XSitePro. I've been using three of Intellisoft's products for years. They are the best available.
Why not download your free copy of XMailWrite today and see if you can improve your writing tomorrow?
Here is an example of the statistics from this piece of writing:
Word Count: 296
Sentence Count: 24
Line Count: 34
Paragraph Count: 11
Syllable Count: 483
Average Paragraph Length: 26.91
Average Sentence Length: 12.33
Average Syllable Count: 1.63
This article is suitable for children around 13, but would need simplification for low level English readers.
