Whether it is a book, eBook, product, or service, article writing has become a popular way to promote what you have to offer.  There are many article marketing sites, and each allows you to post your article with links back to your website or with contact information so that people can reach you if they are interested in knowing more.

There are a couple of ways that you can distribute your articles….you can use an article submission service and pay a fee, or you can make a folder in your bookmarks and bookmark your favorite article marketing sites and list them yourself for free…at least the ones that I have seen are free.

If you would like to add my free article submission site to your list, it is http://sellingwitharticles.com, and following is a list of articles from the site that will help you in writing your articles:

• Why You Should Write Articles For Your Business 
• Increase Website Traffic Writing Articles
• Beginner Tips for Writing Profitable and Traffic Generating Articles
• How to Write a Search Engine Friendly Article

These are just a few examples, if you go to “Selling with Articles” and put “Articles” in the upper right search box, and pick “Article Title” in the drop-down menu to the left of the search box, you’ll find many more helpful articles.

There are so many good resources available for authors, publishers and writers, and I want to share some new ones with you, but in this post, thought it would be a nice refresher to take a look at some of the helpful posts that are already on the blog, including:

1. Publishing Poynters Marketplace -An exceptional place where authors and publishers help one another.

3. Self Publishing an eBook at No Cost - Do you think it can be done? Take a look at the post and you decide.  There are a lot of helpful tips that will stimulate your thinking.
