Writing Articles For Promoting Your Site Using A Resource Box

If you're new here, join the community by subscribing to my RSS feed. Enter your name and email address to the form located at the top of each blog page for email updates. Glad to have your onboard!

Do you write and publish your own articles? 

Are you adding a ‘Resource Box’ at the end of your article to inform the reader of who you are and what skills and work you do online?

I sincerely hope so because every one of your free articles will link back to your web site business. There is a wealth of information to be gained from the simple art of writing articles. You can submit your articles to ezine publishers, article directories, article banks, search engine newsletters and much more. Try a search and see what sites you can find to submit your articles. 

You can encourage people to use your article in their own ezine or newsletter and receive free marketing and positive exposure for your online business. I use a ‘resource box’ with every article I publish.

Try to find some free sites eager to add your article to their database or find an article to reuse. Read my previous post to view an example of a Resource Box.

Examples of search terms: 
                                   
"free article directories"
"article directories" 
"ezine articles"
       

Or take the a look at my post, The Best Online Article Directories to submit your articles to on a regular basis. 

You will benefit from the free exposure to your site as many ezine publishers begin to use your articles as content for their readers. Also creating multiple one way link backs to your site. You may not be getting paid for this but you can be sure that each time your articles are used and your links clicked on that you will enjoy a surge in targeted traffic to your designated site.

 

A great idea is to set up a web page with an opt-in form to build your mailing leads. I wouldn’t advise adding an email address due to the Spam Harvesting Software. Be creative and experiment with different Resource Box description to target a particular site.

If you’re still stuck for ideas have a look at some article directories and browse through the author’s resource box at the end of the article for ideas.

Prevent Repetitive Strain Injury By Using Simple Keyboard Shortcuts

The following information may seem obvious but do if you spend time using your computer you should be utilizing your keyboard shortcuts to save you time and to help reduce monotonous clicking of your mouse buttons.  

How many times have you spent scrolling up and down a very long web page?

Use your keyboard shortcuts:

"Home" - Jump back to the top of page   
                 
"End" - Jump to the bottom of the page                      

"Page Down" - scrolls down a page       

"Page Up" - scrolls up a page 
 
Similar keyboard shortcuts can be made using the "End" button, particularly when you are editing some typing. Instead of pressing the right arrow keys to go to the end of a sentence. Or the left arrow key to go to the beginning of a sentence use these keys:

"End" - jump to the end of a sentence    

"Home" - go to the beginning of a sentence

Too often we tend to overlook the keyboard shortcuts staring up in the face!

Use them to help you navigate through routine tasks more efficiently.
