I’m back home now and as promised, have a few answers to
some of your questions. I hoped to stay in Miami a few extra
days, but there was a crazy rainstorm and I thought I could
just go back to Vancouver for the rain. ;-)

I’ve been receiving a number of questions about writing
articles and using them to promote your business. Articles
are a powerful business tool that everybody should be using.
Articles have helped me receive well over 100,000 visitors
each and every month to my websites. Plus, they are largely
responsible for my affiliate sales, product sales and my
Google AdSense income.

Of course, this revelation is nothing new - people have been
saying that 'you should write articles' for years, but
people still struggle with making articles work for them.
Hopefully, these answers will shed some light on the
situation for you:

1. I hate writing and I don’t think it’s possible for me to
write many articles. What do you suggest I do?

2. I try to send my articles to all the article sites, but
it takes so much work. Do you have any tips on streamlining
the process?

3. People always say I should have articles on my website,
but I want to sell my products. Won’t articles distract my
visitors from buying my products?

4. Can I sell my products with my articles or will people be
offended? What about when I submit my articles to other
websites. Will they publish them if I sell something?

Before I go, I wanted to give you a heads up on this topic
of article writing. I’ve been thoroughly reviewing a course
and software to help you with your article writing,
marketing and distribution. It was created by Jason Potash,
who also created Ezine Announcer and he's an article whiz.

I’m spending quite a bit of time going through it with a
fine-toothed comb and will tell you more about it next week.
So far...not only does his product look like an impressive
educational opportunity, but an incredible timesaver, which
is something I know we moms all need. I'll have more
information next week.

In the meantime, I recommend you check out this article on
Jason's blog. On his June 20 entry, he has an interview with
an average guy who released an ebook, gave up 'optimizing'
his website...stopped paying for pay-per-click advertising a
few weeks later... and as a result, his sales conversion
shot up to a healthy 3.5%, and he is making MORE money than
ever before!

It is enlightening!
