paper.   Step 4 - Now that you have a bunch of ideas, start to categorize them and put them into some semblance of order. What youll find is that this is much easier than you thought. Yes, some ideas wont fit anywhere, but for the most part, youll easily be able to create an outline that has order and makes sense.   Step 5 - Now comes the easy part. Start writing what you know under each topic that is in your outline. Viola! Before you know it, youll have a great article to publish.   What If You Just Cant Create Content or Dont Have the Time?   I always recommend that people come up with own content but if for some reason that isn't possible, here are some options:   1. Go to http://www.Elance.com and have someone do the articles for you.   2. Visit "free reprint rights" directories and use their articles. However, these directories usually contain marketing-type articles. Here are a few:   Marketing Seek http://www.MarketingSeek.com   Idea Marketers http://www.IdeaMarketers.com   Yahoo Groups (Yahoo groups have many free reprint rights mailing lists) Ezine Articles http://www.EzineArticles.com   What to Do With Your Articles Once Youve Created Them?     Once youve written an article you have created an "asset" that can be used in multiple ways that benefit your business. Dont underestimate the positive benefits that your article can bring to your business. Milk your content for all its worth.   Here are some ideas to get a lot of mileage out of your articles once youve created them. Idea # 1 - Create a resource box at the end of the article with your name, your marketing message, and contact information. Then submit your article to newsletter article directories such as the ones Ive given you above. Publishers will consider your article for reprint in their publications.   Idea # 2 - Develop a list of ezine publishers and ask them for their permission for you to send them your completed articles for consideration in their newsletter. Youd be surprised how many will say, "Sure." This list of publishers will become a goldmine for you as you continue to publish more articles.
