Writing Articles For The Internet - Is There Really a Point, Or Is It Author Suicide?

"Why should I write articles and publish them on the Internet? I won't get paid anything, and others could nick my work. What benefits could there possibly be?" Well, if you sit down calmly for a minute, I'll tell you.

There are different types of article writers so I am going to deal with each in turn.

The Would-Be Article Writer.

If you are a would-be article writer who has lots of good ideas and scribbles away industriously but you can't pluck up the courage to actually send them anywhere where you might get paid for them, read on.

It may be that your niche is not well represented in magazines on the newsstands and anyway you don't feel you can turn out the quality of articles required by those mags that are out there.

Whatever your reasons have been for holding fire so far, publishing your articles on the web is the ideal way to go. Why?

1. Because you will expose your work to thousands of people who want to read about your topic.

2. Because it is an excellent way to build your confidence and gives you an enormous boost to see your articles listed in the directories.

The Already-An-Article-Writer Writer

If you are already selling some of your work then you could be missing out on an additional means of advertising your expertise.

Tell me, have you got any articles that for some reason have not sold? Are you quite happy with them? Then these are the ones to submit to the Article Directories. Why?

1. Because you will open yourself to a whole new audience for your work.

2. You will enhance your reputation as an expert in your field.

3. You can put links in your article resource box leading back to your website or blog.

4. You may be contacted by magazine editors interested in publishing you - for cash!

In either case above, remember that for Internet purposes, your articles need only be between 250 and 500 words long. Most people would not find it too difficult, or time consuming, to knock something decent out within those word counts.

One good thing about posting your articles on the 'net is that, in most cases it won't cost you a sausage! The majority of directories are free. I recommend you sign up with ezinearticles.com first as they give some benefits other directories don't, such as statistics on how many people have viewed your article, how many have downloaded it and so on. They also have an excellent tutorial.

Give it try, I guarantee you will be glad you did.
