Chosen for the First Guest Blogger at Articlesbase

I was very pleased that I was contacted by Articlesbase and asked if I would include an excerpt of my article: Article Ideas: Using Who, What, Why, Where, When to Spark Inspiration.

I recently started writing short articles for Articlesbase because I liked the site offerings: long-term exposure for and traffic generation to my other online articles.

Articlesbase allows for linking to a writer's other Internet-based articles, as well as an author bio. This appealed, because the idea of an article, working away in the background for me, once I had done the initial work, made sense.

Articlesbase is a free directory, where interested parties search for articles to use on their websites, in newsletters, on blogs, etc. With the number of Internet sites growing daily, the need for content has never been greater.

Writers can capitalize on this trend by writing articles for Articlesbase, which are then picked up and distributed across the Internet. If these articles contain links to the writer's other articles, the traffic generation potential is unlimited--and it continues for years because articles are never taken off the Articlesbase site.

I liked the sound of that because I find that much of my work is geared to an online audience. While I still have my finger in print opportunities, I also create much online content.

"All things work together for good," as the saying goes. Articlesbase offers a practical service to site owners looking for fresh content and allows writers to send readers to their published works at sites where they earn for page views and/or ad clicks.

I agree. Articles are a great way to get traffic to your website or blog. They earn money for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And once an article is up, it's up for good.

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for swiinging by the blog. In tougher economic times, writers do well to do some promotional work to drive traffic to their artickles.

Hi Rick,

yes, no matter what you write, try to always link to your other articles, so that all your articles work for you.
