Article Marketing Tips

I have been writing articles and submitting them to various article directories for around a year now. This was primarily aimed at obtaining one-way backlinks pointing to my websites. When I started I felt very fresh and had plenty to write about. I must have written around an average of article per day for the first six months but then disaster struck - well at least article marketing disaster - I ran out of things to write about - or at least I thought I had. I could not think of anything else to write about. In this article I give advice about how to react when this happens, advice which I hope will help you to continue to write quality and original articles.

I developed a stutter when I was four years of age and it continued to affect my life for the next eighteen years. After a lot of hard work I was able to “stop stuttering” and I have been fluent for the last fourteen years. I now run one-to-one speech courses where I coach other people to also eradicate their stutter. I feel I know quite a lot about the subject and found it quite easy and enjoyable to write about all aspects of stuttering.

After a while I could not think of anything new to write about stuttering, which would be of value to people and made the mistake or re-writing some of the articles using different words. I must admit I was unaware that this was against the rules but now realise that each article needs to have original content, which I accept and understand. Either that or employ a company that could provide me with a professional link building service.

I then wrote about some of the experiences from my own life, like how I coped when my now ex-girlfriend left me and even stories about my dog!

One morning I woke up with very good intentions, I was planning on writing three or four new articles. After turning on my laptop and starting up windows I just sat there hoping that I would gain some inspiration from some where. I attempted to tell my brain to start writing but it was like my mind was frozen and could not think of any suitable or worthwhile words. The problem was that I could not think of anything to write about. There was only one thing for it - I needed more sleep therefore I returned to my bed. I seem to be able to think clearer from my bed, a bit weird I know.

I decided that I was not only going to write about my own life and experiences but I would also write about my family and friends. There are a number of other subjects that I could quite easily write about including:

One-way link building

The best way to market a website

Web design

Self confidence

Travel

Sport

Business

These are all areas I have a great interest in and even though they are not my main line of business, the articles should be of interest to people. Most of the topics which I have listed are things which I or people I know, have had experiences with. The majority of people who have this form of speech impediment (stuttering) will have a lower self-esteem than the average fluent person - this is for obvious reasons in reality.
