Keywords: how to write articles Article Body: I've seen just about every imaginable mistake when it comes to writing articles for promotion. It's a downright shame! Most Internet business people realize that writing articles is an excellent technique for promoting their businesses, ezines, products,and services. Unfortunately, most haven't actually mastered the basics of how to write articles. Once you master the basics of how to write articles youÆll begin to really reap the rewards that writing articles can provide. Your aim is to instantly be able to create articles that will engage readers, give you credibility, and promote your business. Your first, and possibly the single most important step is to decide what keyword (or keyword phrase) you want to write your article around. If you donÆt choose the right keyword in this very first step, then it will undermine everything else you do from here on out. Why is Your Keyword Important? Well,targeted Readers use search engines to find information using keywords.Choosing your keyword will help ensure that you write an article that someone actually wants to read. Now your going to have to provide the reader with some useful content.You have to provide high quality, useful content in your article or your targeted readers will simply hit their ôback buttonö and find another source of information.You have to provide them with a solution to there problem. People go on line and search for answers to their problems and for information, not for products... So, all you have to do is give them what they want and relate it to your business. It sounds easy enough, doesnÆt it? The key here is not to give them an ôin your faceö sales pitch. Don't focus on the sale. Put yourself in the targeted readerÆs uncomfortable chair in front of a dinky computer screen and think about things from their perspective. Having warmed the reader up with the useful info, now is the time to strike with a profit pulling link, be that an affiliate link that relates to the article or a link to your own website. You Do this in the form of a resource box. Your resource box goes right at the end of your article and provides some information about either you or your business. Ideally, itÆs a mini-advertisement that makes the reader want to click through. Something like: [[ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Derek specializes in teaching real people

I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the

I
