How To Write a Profitable Ezine Article

By Melissa Ritchey

New to online marketing?

Got a new product or service you want to promote quickly?

Need more website traffic?

In other words, short on time but big on need?

Submitting your own ezine articles is one of the quickest and most profitable form of driving TARGETED traffic to your site, not to mention building your credibility on the Web.

WHAT! ME WRITE AN ARTICLE!?

Don’t worry, this is really a no-brainer. The best articles are written from your own experience. Write in a conversational tone and pretend you are talking with a friend. That usually helps the thoughts flow a little easier. And remember, add a piece of your own personality!

Can’t think of something to write about?

Take out a blank sheet of paper and jot down your interests. Do some brainstorming here. Any tips you can share about your own business experience? What about a news article discussing current Internet trends and your feelings about this? How about writing eBook reviews? What’s so great about auto responders? You see, the list can be endless!

You can also subscribe to ezines in your interest group and see what other people are writing about. But make your article stand out from the rest. There’s so much to learn and write about using the Web as your world-wide library. I can almost guarantee that EVERYONE can write an article that is worthy of publication. And who knows? Your articles may develop into sellable eBooks.

EZINE ARTICLE SUBMISSION “DOs.”

Create an article that:

1. Contains interesting and informative content.
2. Is written in a conversational tone.
3. Uses sub-headings to break up ideas.
4. Uses bullets or lists where appropriate.
5. Is “timeless in content.”
6. Includes your “signature,” a resource box that contains your REAL name, URL, and a brief bio of who you are and what you do. You could also weave in a selling sentence about your business.
7. State the article word size.
8. Contains no spelling or grammatical errors. Proof read!

Before you submit an article:

1. Learn the name of the ezine publisher and use it in the subject line.
2. Format the email to 65 characters a line as a text, not as an HTML file.
3. Write a brief intro in the body of the email, then PASTE your article below. Never send it as an attachment.
4. You can also ask to be informed by email when your article runs.

Be considerate—submit an article only once or twice a month, unless invited. And, send in one article at a time.

Submit only your best work, and in time you will build your credibility as well as an online following. People will get to trust you. And that will lead to increased website traffic!
