Article Marketing Part 2 - Who Says You Can't Write?
Article Marketing Part 2 - Who Says You Can't Write? by Zamri

It's obvious that the benefits of submitting your own articles
to various different article directories are simply amazing.
You get free publicity. You don't pay for advertising. You can
have your own articles as a viral marketing tool.
And, much much more.
But, wait a minute.
"I can't write. How can I submit my articles if I don't even
have one written?"
If this does not describe you and you're already writing good
articles on your own, then what are you waiting for?
Start publishing your own articles now.
If you belong to this "can't write a single word" category, then
stay with me here.
I don't blame you for it but I believe this is a problem that
can be fixed. I used to have no idea to write at all, but I knew
my problem was because I was trying to write about something I
didn't know.
It's a bit confusing but let me rephrase. Find something that
you know a great deal about and if you are passionate enough
about the topic, your juice will flow like water. Your head will
generate more ideas than your writing speed can catch up.
For further help on writing an article, here are a few tips.
1. Enumerate your points, like what I'm doing now. A 500-word
article can have 7 or 10 short points in it.
2. Look at some other articles of the same interest. Model (not
copy) the writing skills of others.
3. Write your articles like writing stories. Writing your own
experience sometimes help.
4. Write like you talk. Forget about grammar in your first round
of writing. Go back to the article and fix your mistakes once
the article is finished.
5. Write, write and write. Nothing helps more than practice.
Your first article won't be good, but the second one will be
better. The hundredth article will be much better than the 50th.
So, write more.
Still stuck with writer's block? Then, I suggest two ways to get
around.
1. Hire ghostwriters to write exclusively for you.
Ghostwriters are authors who will write on your behalf on any
topics that you assign them. They'll charge you for their
service.
When the articles are complete, they are yours to keep. You can
claim the authorship of the articles, put your name on these
articles and often, claim the copyrights of the articles too.
Many Internet marketers are doing it simply because they don't
have time to write or they don't have any expertise on the
topics that they want to write.
2. Join private label article membership clubs. For less than
thirty dollars a month, you can get tons of contents which you
can private label them with your own name.
But, be very careful because article directory owners don't like
duplicate contents in their databases. Make sure you modify the
content of each article before you submit them to any article
directory. You don't want your name to get banned by these
article directories.
On a special note, majority of private label rights operators
put a cap on their membership sites. As soon as they have enough
members, you won't be allowed to join them until the existing
members cancel their membership.
The two methods of creating your own articles above are
definitely meant to help you get going. After having your
articles in your hand, like most people say, the world is your
oyster.
