2. Do not spend a lot of time on any particular article. It is a common mistake that people try to make the perfect article. The time that you spend writing the perfect article can be used to write more articles.

3. Submit your articles to the top article directories only. For example the Ezinearticles.com is the top article directory in the world. They require that articles are 250 words or more. One strategy would be to write short 250 word articles and to submit to this article directory only. Submit only to the highest rated directories and you can jump start your home internet business.

4. Pay attention to the category that you are submitting your articles in. For example, if there is a work at home category flood it with as many articles as possible. After that you can put more articles to the internet business category. In this way you will eventually develop a good reputation as an expert in niches you are promoting.

5. Write a catchy title that makes a person want to read your article. This would seem to be common sense yet it is amazing how many mundane titles you see for an article. If you are unsure how to write a catchy title just go to your favorite article directory and read articles until you see some that catch your eye.

6. Create a swipe file for ideas. There are many articles that are well written and you can use those as content for future articles. Just bookmark those and put them in your swipe file when you need them in the future.

7. Write as many numbered list articles as possible. These are very easy to read because the reader can scan from one number to the next. Plus numbered list articles are easy to write because it helps you keep focused on exactly the point you are trying to get across.

8. Keep your paragraphs short. It is better to include no more than three or four sentences for each paragraph. Using this strategy you will keep your reader with you longer and help them avoid skimming ahead to the next paragraph.

9. Craft a resource box that tells the reader exactly what you want them to do. You will find that shorter resource boxes do better than long ones do. You will want to hyperlink your keyword phrase such as home internet business directly to either a landing page or your homepage.

10. Keep in mind that the number one goal of article marketing is to get traffic to a specific web page that you are promoting. Therefore you do not have to write the perfect article, but you do want to use mass distribution to generate as much traffic as you possibly can.
