Does the thought of writing articles that millions of people could read over the Internet intimidate you? If your answer was ‘yes’, then I can assure you, you have lots of company.

A number of things hold people back from even attempting to write their first article. To begin with, they are not sure about their subject matter. Some people write strictly for pleasure and for them they would write about those things that they were passionate about and that interested them the most. However, many people wish to have their articles published to help them generate leads for their business. If that is the case, they would want their article to be able to easily relate back to their business and their website.

One of the main stumbling blocks is the feeling that you don’t have enough material. This is just about the easiest hurdle to overcome. Google or Yahoo search your subject, and you will find literally hundreds, if not thousands, of postings dealing with the very subject you plan to write about. Read eight to ten of these postings and get a general idea of where you would like to go with your article. It goes without saying that you absolutely do not copy anothers persons material.

There is nothing under the sun that has not been written about before. Nobody holds a patent on their thoughts and ideas, so you can get as many ideas from other people as you think you need. Even though many people might have the same or similar ideas, you will find that each person expresses them in a unique way. The very things I am writing about here in this article have been written, I am sure, hundreds of times before. However, no one has expressed them in the same way that I have. If you can get over this particular stumbling block, you will be well on your way to completing your first article.

It is recommended that an article be between 400 – 600 words. This is certainly nothing like trying to write a book. Perhaps you could compare it to writing just one page of a book! I can assure you that you will not get writers block while writing 400 – 600 words. In fact, you might find yourself trying to cut the article back somewhat, because it went too long.

The first paragraph should grab the reader’s attention. The middle portion of the article is quite often scanned by the reader. From there they jump to the last paragraph. It is here that you have to wrap everything up nicely for them. My suggestion is that you try to write as you speak. You want the reader to see your personality pop off the page. If you were to oursource your articles, it would be very difficult to create a personality through the writing, because there would be a number of different writers involved.

The rewards of writing your own articles and having them published are fantastic. I would highly recommend that you give it an honest effort. Even though I had no prior writing experience, my first article got on the first page of Google within a matter of hours of it being published over the Internet. Just remember, you are not writing an article for your English teacher to critique. You are writing it for people who are hungry for information on the subject that you have chosen to to write about. Give them what they are searching for and they will be happy….and so will you!!

At the very end of your article there is a section called the Resource Box. It comes directly after the last paragraph of your text. In some circles it is referred to as the Authors Bio Box. This box is very important in promoting you and your business, so a great deal of thought should go into its completion. When I initially started writing articles, I was entering way too much information in this area. Someone very kindly pointed out to me that this wasn’t meant for me to write my life history. If people wanted to find out more about me they could check my bio information elsewhere.

On doing some research on the importance of the Resource Box, I realized that it’s main purpose was to motivate the reader to take action that would benefit my business. For most of us, that action would see them clicking on the links we have provided that directs them to our website.

The following information should be included in the Box:

* your name

* a brief history of your background

* your current employment

* an invitation to take action (visit your website)

If you look at my Resource Box at the end of this article, you will see that I have included all these things in a very concise paragraph. People are reading your article because they are interested in the information you are providing. They did not click onto the article to read about you. However, in the Resource Box you give them the opportunity to get to know you better, by visiting one of your websites. Hopefully, you have provided enough valuable information that they will want to see what else you have available on your other sites.

You will probably have taken quite a bit of time creating your article. I suggest that you take nearly as much time in developing your Resource Box. If you do not motivate people to visit your website after they have read the article, then it doesn’t matter how great the article is….it might even be on the first page of Google…..if they are not ending up on your website, then it will do nothing to increase your business. I want you to really get this point, because it is so important. I know of people who write the most wonderful articles but are not getting that transition over to their site.

Most article directories allow you to have two links in your Resource Box. If you try to put more than two in, and the directory has to modify your Box, it could end up being a problem for you. I feel that two links is quite sufficient for just one paragraph. I usually direct both my links to my website but sometimes I will use one for my social networking sites, such as YouTube or Facebook. This gives the reader a chance to get to know me better.

The Resource Box is your only opportunity to reach out to people and connect with them. I strongly suggest that you take full advantage of it and stand back and see your business grow!

Before you move on further with the idea of starting a home based writing business, you should assess your skills. I don’t mean to discourage any of you, but I’ve known many people who got themselves in to the wrong business and lost all their savings, properties and the business itself, along the way. So make sure it won’t happen to you by evaluating whether writing is your greatest strength.

A small amount of time introspection can give a definite shape to your future.Once you are confident about your abilities, do some research online and offline. Find people who would outsource their writing jobs or assign projects to you. Do not jump start with this business. Start if off as a part time job, while you keep your full time job. If you are a home staying mom, start off the business on your own without involving partners or employees.

When you step in to the world of freelance writing, it is always better to have a safety net to fall on to. So don’t keep too much hopes and invest too much on equipments, office space etc initially. All you need to do is buy a reliable computer (maybe a used one) and good word processing software. To begin with, it is advisable to use free word processing software such as Open Office. A telephone connection with internet and a good printer are other essential equipment for the job. Once you start getting good work you could take up from there.

You may be skillful as any great writer out there, but you will need to keep out to date. With internet dominating home based businesses, there is an increasing demand for freelance writing; so search for new writing leads and develop your skills everyday. Try out different styles of writing and different assignments such as newsletter writing, magazine articles, blog posts, SEO articles, ghost writing e-books, proposals, resumes and the list goes on…

Market yourself everyday. There are websites that allows you to post advertisements promoting your services. Keep track of all such sites and the customers that you meet. A good rapport with customers is the key to any successful business. Remember that, most buyers tend to stick with the same writer if they become impressed with the work. So make sure you’d always deliver on time, be professional and keep to your word.

Continue working part-time for at least 6 months before moving on to full time writing. By then, you should have made a lot of contacts in the field and have sufficient number of buyers to compensate for a good income. If your projects are getting out of hand, recruit one or two people as part-time employees. However, before doing so, do a feasibility study to see if you can still make profit, increase business and keep up to the reputation you’ve built by having people working for you. If everything goes well, you might even be able to employ people on full time basis and start off a small company of your own.
