Make your articles available on your site. You’ll have an easy way to get more sales by showing your visitors that you are an expert, on the topic your visitors are interested in.

2. Use lots of white space. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and to the point.

3. Write for your target audience. You’ll have a better chance of attracting people to your site, that are interested in purchasing your products.

4. Use numbered lists. Your numbered lists will help you to effectively share your tips with your readers while making your article easy to read.

Use your numbered lists to share points on your article’s topic, list your directions when writing a how to article, or to deliver the content of your article if you wanted to write a list article.

You can also use numbered lists to share resources related to what you talk about in your article along with your descriptions of those resources.

5. Use the active voice. With the active voice the subject does the action while with the passive voice the subject receives the action expressed by the verb.

For instance:

Active voice: The dog bit the mailman. Passive voice: The mailman was bitten by the dog.

Use the active voice to keep your sentences from being awkward, or confusing and to liven up your article.

6. Make your writing more personal by using the word “you” a lot within your article.

A simple way to accomplish this is to write your article to one person.

You’ll naturally use the word “you” a lot within your article, and your readers will feel like you’re talking directly to them.

7. Don’t be afraid to share your personality with your readers.

You could inject a little bit of humor into your article, or share an opinion, story or anecdote that relates to the topic of your article.

8. Offer a subscription to your e-zine or a freebie in your resource box.

Writing articles will help you to get your site promoted on relevant sites and e-zines at no cost to you.

Maximize the profit you get from writing your articles by giving your readers a subscription to your e-zine, or a freebie that they’ll find valuable enough to go back to again and again.

9. Once you’ve written your article, wait a couple of days, and then reread your article.

You might be able to add new points that you might have missed before, add more detail to information you covered in your article, or reword parts of your article that are unclear.

10. Use current topics whether online or in the “real world” to get ideas for your articles.

Your articles will be cutting edge and newsworthy, and will have an excellent chance of being published by e-zine publishers and webmasters.

11. Always check and double-check your articles for errors.

Use your spell checker and go over your articles for words you might have omitted, run-on sentences and for faulty punctuation.

Also look for words used incorrectly; for instance, if you used “effect” when you should have used “affect” or if you used “there” when you should have used “their.”

12. Submit your articles to article directories, article announcement lists, and to e-zine publishers.

Your submissions, although time consuming if done manually, will help you to successfully get your articles published.

Be sure to submit your articles to my article directory at http://www.netpromarketer.com
and to visit http://www.netpromarketer.com/directoriesandlists.html where you’ll find a list of article directories and article announcement lists.

Marlon Sanders has perfected an entire system for creating info-products; such as Audio CDs, PDF’s, and e-Books, using his time tested point-and-click, step-by-step method.

It’s called the Info-Product Dashboard. You may be wondering, if this product’s for you. To see if you’re among the large percentage, who can benefit from the Info-Product Dashboard, just run through this list of simple criteria:

* If you have thought to yourself, “That would make a great Info-Product,” then this applies to you.

* If you are working the 9 to 5, trading your time for dollars, then this applies to you.

* If you’ve had that info product idea, on the backburner for a year and you still haven’t started it yet, then this applies to you.

* If you’re about to begin writing an e-book, or if you are partway through it, then this applies to you.

* If you feel that you’re not an expert on anything, but you still want to create your own product, then this applies to you.

* If you tried to create a product of your own, but gave up, then this applies to you.

* If you’ve got a bunch of “half done” products on your desktop, then this REALLY applies to you.

* If you think it’s too hard to create your own info-product, then this definitely applies to you.

* If you think it takes too much money to create your own info product, this STILL applies to you.

* If you have just 1 hour a day to spare, to work on your info-product, then this applies to you.

* If you’ve got a web page, that isn’t converting as well as you’d like, then this applies to you.

* If you think you can never create a professional looking info product, audio cd, pdf, ebook, or download pages, then this applies to you.

* If you’ve ever had a problem getting your payment processing set up, to take orders online, you need to read this.

* If you know you want to sell products online, but haven’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet, then this product REALLY applies to you.
