First I will go over article writing methods and then article promotion strategies.
Article writing: Step one- Create a title for your article. You can get the title for your article writing by going to adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. The green lines shows the competition for that keyword and the other green line shows the search volume. Pick the smallest green line to start with.
Article writing: Step two- Create your introduction. In article writing your introduction should tell the reader what your article is about. The introduction should also point out benefits to be derived by the reader should they decide to read the rest of the article. Your introduction is for “bullet” points also known as teasers to arouse the readers interest to read the rest of the article.
Article writing: Step three- Create the body of the article. This is the section to go into detail about the main topic of the article. Be creative and have a flow that can easily be followed. By now you have the reader’s attention and your goal is to keep going to the conclusion and your resource box which is your final call to action is located.
Article writing: Step four- Your conclusion must summarize the benefits in the body of your article into one short paragraph. Your conclusion must be good enough to make the reader want to find out more information your website by clicking on the link in your resource box. The resource box is simply the section that let the reader know your brief background and skills and your website URL.
Marketing an internet business by writing an article will not be complete without an effective article promotion strategy. Your unique article now needs to be submitted to article distribution directories. The key is to get your article into thousands of websites that needs content. The websites that use your article also agree to display your resource box with your website URL. Now when the search engines see your website URL on so many other websites based on a certain keyword your internet business will start getting a share of visitors seeking information about that specific keyword. The top article distribution directories from my experience are Articlesdynamic.com, EzineArticles.com, Articlesinsync.com, and Articledashboard.com. After submitting to these four directories, you can also submit to other lesser known directories. In about a week or two types in the title of your article in Google or yahoo and see how many websites are displaying your article to the World Wide Web.
Article writing and article promotion can be an effective strategy to use in marketing an internet business. Be concise and give the reader what information they seek and a large percentage will visit your website giving you the opportunity to sell them your products or you can make money when they click on the Google ads displayed on your site. The key is to get visitors to your site and what happens after that is full of limitless possibilities.

Google Joins the Internet Phone Revolution
April 25th, 2010
Its not so long ago that the idea of free phone calls over the Internet would have been thought an impossibility, but as any knowledgeable user will tell you they are now commonplace. Skype the pioneer and market leader has 51 million users and a great, easy to use software package that allows your computer to make Internet phone calls between subscribers.
All you need is a reasonable computer, preferably a broadband connection but it will work over a dial up connection, and a microphone, then as long as the person you want to contact is online and also signed up to the same service, you can talk for ever for no cost.
This is possible because your speech is sent over the Internet in the data packets, just like email or any other Internet service. Microsoft, AOL, BT and Yahoo all have their own instant voice messaging services and now Google has joined in, with the launch of its instant messaging and Internet Phone service Google Talk. The service will be free to all users of its email program Gmail. This must be causing Googles competitors some concern, because as we all know from past, experience when Google does something they always want to be the market leader.
Google Talk will have the traditional uncluttered Google look which users have come to expect, to use Google Talk you must sign up for a Gmail Account. Google is making Google talk an open service, by working with EarthLink to connect with their Vling communications service and with Sipphone on using their Gizmo project, which will mean that users of Google Talk can send messages to users of other networks, unlike all their major rivals.
This means that Google Talk will be free for calls to other networks, unlike the services from AOL, Microsoft, etc where calls are only free between subscribers of their individual services. When it was announced this was seen as such a significant development that Skype immediately responded by announcing that they would also be making their network available to calls from other networks. At the moment Skype also has the advantage that its users can make calls from their computer to a landline or mobile phone, initially Google Talk will only offer Pc to PC communication, I wonder how long that will remain the case?
To start, with Google Talk will be free from adverts but that will probably change in the future, it is hoped that the launch of the service will increase the use of Gmail, where Google earns income by placing adverts targeted at the subject matter of the email.
This is a very significant step in the development of Internet phone calling services using VoIp and I expect that Google will make every effort to become the market leader.

Running An Internet Business – Four Fundamentals For Success
April 22nd, 2010
Planning
Starting a new online business or taking an existing business online can seem intimidating or overwhelming, but like everything else, if you make a plan and take it step by step, you’ll have a much better chance of succeeding. Having a proper plan for your Internet business can also give you the competitive edge you need as you will be better able to react to circumstances if you know what you want to achieve. Although starting an Internet home based business is an achievable ambition, building it can be challenging, so you do really need to make sure you don’t go off on ‘rabbit trails’ that may look exciting but don’t deliver paying customers. When you are planning, don’t forget that you can combine several different models as part of your overall Internet business strategy. But for the sake of your sanity it’s better to start off with just one!
Starting
The first question that most people ask is “what sort of home Internet business should I build?” Whilst that is a good question, a better one is “what sort of markets can I make the most money in?” It is better to start off with a market and find a means of making money from it than having a product or service which may not actually have a market. Assuming you have made your choice, one way to avoid some of the hard work of starting up is to buy an existing Internet business or franchise. Be very careful of income claims and make sure any website hits or financial statistics can be verified. You don’t have to spend a fortune hiring an Internet marketing consultant, even if you have no previous experience and want to start Internet business, but you do have to be careful your Internet goldmine isn’t all tapped out! Once you have started, the next step is to start promoting your home business
Marketing
If you don’t want to spend money on Google Adwords or other PPC(Pay Per Click) services, you’ll need to know the SEO(Search Engine Optimisation) basics so that your marketing can start delivering quality search engine traffic. To those that run Internet businesses, search engine traffic is often the life-blood of their sales pipeline. Even if your primary focus is not SEO, why turn away free traffic just because your website hasn’t been optimised properly? To truly succeed you’ll need expertise in SEO and PPC or a web site that already attracts a lot of traffic. It is crucial for you to spend the initial phase of your Internet business on establishing constant traffic to your website through various web promotion and marketing strategies. Internet marketing strategy is not child’s play, but it isn’t rocket science, either. As in traditional marketing a personal relationship with clients needs to be developed, which means you don’t rip visitors off to make a fast buck, because repeat traffic is where the consistent money is. If you’re into Internet marketing, many experts agree that you don’t even have a business if you don’t have a mailing list. With an opted in list, email marketing and viral marketing campaigns and e-newsletters can bring qualified traffic. Qualified traffic is visitors who visit your site knowing what it’s about and interested in what you are selling.
Promoting affiliate programs can be a rewarding and easy way to earn money online, but making the right decisions before you launch yourself into affiliate marketing can mean the difference between success and failure. However, you’ll need to generate a lot of traffic to make money in affiliate marketing because revenues per sale are generally low.
Succeeding
You may have put a lot of time in to get started, but if you have done it right, and once the initial phase is over, you can expect a decent income, and without you having to trade so much time to get it. Success in a new business is not easy and success in an online business isn’t either. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity. Don’t forget many people have lost money in programs that promise you fast results and easy success, but then they never deliver what they preach. Don’t be one of them, but do use the Internet to learn as much as you can and go on learning and applying what you learn.
Is a home based Internet business suitable for you? The most common excuse for not starting an Internet business is that people believe they must have a product in order to start one. In fact, the Internet and the technology associated with it have opened new vistas for home based Internet business projects that once might have been considered impossible. That is exactly why it is very important that you set out a plan at the start and follow it in order for you to achieve the success you dream of with your own Internet business.
