Article writing is an easy art to learn.
Many people are afraid of it because they feel that they can't write.
I usually try to share with people, when I have the opportunity that writing an article is just like having a conversation, an intelligent conversation, but a conversation nevertheless.
Once you realize how simple it is to construct an article you need to know what the benefits are.
Since article writing does take work it is important to know what the benefits are, that way you will know what you are working for.
Here are just a few benefits of article writing.
1.
Ongoing exposure.
There are similarities and differences between articles and Google Pay per click.
The similarities, a text and a call to action.
The Pay per click text is much shorter but the same basic idea.
Someone reads an ad, or an article and is enticed to click on the bottom.
The major difference, with an article you pay once with Pay Per Click, you pay every time.
You either pay for your article by paying someone to write it, or you pay with the time you took to write it yourself.
Either way there is one payment, ongoing reward.
With Pay Per Click you pay every time someone clicks.
A well written article can literally bring you free traffic for years.
2.
Increased Credibility.
If I am doing a search for skin irritations, and I see the name Buck Rogers come up in different articles and web sites, then I don't care if it is Buck Rogers, M.
D.
or not.
All that matters to me is that this man is an expert in skin irritations.
Learn to write articles in a particular niche and submit not only to article directories but also to blogs, forums, and directories and you too will appear to be an expert.
That way when I stumble across the Buck Rogers Skin Cream, I'm far more likely to buy.
3.
Practice makes perfect The more you write articles, the better you will get at it.
Therefore, more submissions will equal more traffic which equals more money.
