When I speak to friends in online business the topic of conversation often turns to traffic strategies.
This is one, if not the, most important aspects of internet marketing.
Without traffic you are in trouble and stand little chance of being a success, almost like setting up a shop in the middle of a field with nobody around.
You could try and tempt people to travel to your shop but this is difficult.
Much easier is to set up in a bustling place full of interested people.
And in the online world one of the best places to do this is article directories.
There are many interested parties looking for quality information and if you can provide it then you stand a greater chance they will listen to you in the future.
Many people are intimidated by the idea of writing articles but it does not have to be that hard.
If you are involved in a niche then you most likely have a lot of knowledge on the topic.
Translating this into article form is easy after that.
If you follow a structure of introduction, the meat of the content and then a conclusion you will be well on your way.
To get started I would recommend brainstorming all the possible broad subject matter within your market.
From there narrow this down into the best tips and techniques you could give on each one.
From this you could easily have the basis of 100 articles and be ready to start the process.
The key is to commit to the process and do not give up after a few articles.
The success will come over time as your quality content finds its way across the web.
