By this time I hope you have found the time and wrote an article dealing with something related to your business or product. Now its time to get that dude out there.
There are numerous free article directories available where you can post your great article. I distribute my articles to usually five directories that have a decent traffic rank. If you go to google and type in article directories you will get a huge list to choose from.
I want to make sure the article directories I choose get alot of traffic so I go to Alexa.com which is a web site where we can do a search and get information about any web site. I type in a directory website and check the traffic rank which I want to be under twenty thousand or less so I no I not wasting my time putting my article on a site where nobody will find it.
The main article directories I use are Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Amazines.com, Articlebase.com and 1888articles.com Feel free to use these websites but also make sure you do your own search for other sites as well.

Who Is Steve
- Steve Kimball
- Welcome to my blog. My name is Steve and live in Cincinnati,Ohio. I've been a business owner for 25 years in the home building industry. With the recent decline in the housing market I found it necessary to find a new source of income and like many people I came to the internet to find solutions. I found my new career in the Network Marketing Home Business industry. A choice I made inspired by the personal freedom and great income potential this industry is capable of providing. I created THE Home Wealth Builder to give others a place where they can find strategies and marketing tips to help grow their network marketing business as well.

Article Marketing Tips, Using Keywords
Writing great informative articles and posting them online is a powerful way to exercise your knowledge and build a relationship with like minded readers. They are a great way to drive qualified highly targeted traffic to a web site since the reader already has shown a interest in the content of the article.
The best written article with the best tips, tricks, and how to's won't offer any benefit to anyone if it can't be found in the vast pages of the internet.
Articles must be written around keywords. Keywords are the search terms people type in to their browser when they are looking for something. These keywords are actually the questions people are asking when they are trying to solve a problem. A good example of this would be a term like, "Make Money From Home." When someone types in this search term they are really asking the question, How can I make money from home, or something along these lines.
Great articles answer questions and provide solutions.
So how can we find the search terms people are looking for?
I like to go to a free keyword tool first. Wordtracker offers a free version and we can find it at http://Freekeywords.wordtracker.com/. Type in a general term that relates to your business or topic. The tool will give us a list of keywords that have been used recently on the major search engines relating to this topic.
I pick one of these keywords and type it into google and see the results. I want to look at the number of pages that ranks on google. If there are millions of pages this means there is a great deal of competition and it will be extremely difficult for anyone to find our article when serching on this keyword.
We keep trying different keywords until we found one that has under a hundred thousand pages but preferably less than ten thousand. We also need to have a look at the paid ads which are on across the top and down the right side of the page. If there are a large number listings this is a great keyword for an article and there is profit to be made here because these advertisers wouldn't be here paying for their ads if they weren't making money. Just using common since.
Another great place to find keywords is directly from the heart of google. Type in a search query and look at the terms that appear. These are related terms that are being searched on daily in google with the keywords and phrases with the largest volume of searches at the top with the list descending in order from there. Check out these terms and write articles around them.
These tips should give us a great start in producing traffic thru article writing. Remember repetition breeds perfection so the more we write the better results we'll have.

Article Marketing Tips
Article Marketing is a great way to get back links to your web site by first establishing a relationship between reader and author. Readers looking for answers to a problem will search on the internet for answers and as an author if you can provide the solution with a link to your site you will have highly targeted qualified people coming to your site to purchase the solution.
Why are back links important. Search engines love popular sites and the more back links we have, the more popularity we have and a better chance of having the search engines rank our site. Higher rank means more traffic and more sales.
So where do we begin?
We start by writing articles about our business. Don't sale. The article should present a common problem people maybe having.An example would be how to get out of debt, which is a pretty common problem in todays market.
We should then tell a little about ourselves and how we have had this same problem.
"Yea if you are anything like me I was drowning in credit card debt and my life was miserable. I was working a job that didn't pay near enough to cover my bills etc. Get the Idea."
Then present the solution.
"I learned to make money online and by leveraging the internet it was easy to make all the money I needed to live a comfortable lifestyle without relying on a boss or a job."
Articles structured this way will help us connect with our readers which will make them trust us and want to follow us.
Don't worry about the article being perfect. Perfection will come with repetition. Make sure all spelling is correct as well as the grammer but don't get stuck working on any article to long. The main idea is to take action and start putting your marketing in front of the masses as quickly as possible.
So start writting your articles now and then I will go on to explaining how to distribute them in the next posting along with keyword research ideas to help the engines love us.

Setting Goals The Only Road Map To Personal Wealth
What is a goal? Seems like a simple question but to few really know the true answer.
For those of you who are looking for a definition, Webster defines it as “a result toward which effort is directed”, doesn’t really explain much but if you are looking for a canned answer there you are.
For those who which to stay the coarse in search of the true meaning and fully comprehend the power of setting and achieving goals to create massive financial and personal wealth, let us continue.
Why are goals the essential ingredient for creating wealth? Goals are the step by step system that will keep you focused on a future, predetermined outcome. They are the road map that will be followed on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis to keep us on the fast track for creating a life of wealth and abundance.
The inability faced by most people is clarity on what they want from life and having clarity on a distant out come or result will be the first step in setting a goal. We must know exactly what we want so we can focus on achieving that end result.
We must also focus on how we will feel after achieving this outcome. A strong emotion must be attached to this goal and we must feel as if we have already reached the desired result before we even begin the journey.
Think of this like an architect as he or she begins designing a building. As creativity and emotion is put into the design, the architect breaths life into the building. Long before the construction of the building begins it has already finished in the designers mind.
Clarity and emotion will lead us to our dreams.
Next, a time must be set on when we want to reach this goal.
You really didn’t think this goal setting thing could be accomplished that easy did you? If it could be everybody would have all the wealth they ever desired.
We are embarking on a journey that only the top three percent of the population will ever travel to reach their dreams, the other ninety-seven percent will live a of life of mediocrity.
It has been said that setting a goal without attaching a time limit to it is just a wish. A wish is what people make who want something but are not willing to put any effort into producing an outcome. A wish has no power and is basically dead.
Give this goal life by setting a date and time on when it will be reached.
Another component in this goal setting endeavor is that we must set a series of short term goals that will lead us to our long term goal. These short term goals are our stepping stones. By setting short term goals it will help us not be overwhelmed by our much larger goal which will seem almost out of reach. If it doesn’t seem out of reach, think bigger. This step by step process will make them absolutely attainable.
One last action we must take for achieving our goal is to make a total, without wavering, to the heart commitment, to this goal. We won’t set a goal that we think we might want to achieve. It must be absolutely what we want because we are going after it feverishly.
This goal and the process of setting smaller stepping stones to reach them can be adjusted as we might have to for one reason or another find it necessary as we progress along this path but the commitment that we have to achieving our goal must be etched in stone.
