Hogwash, is the closest I can get to the proper word and get this article accepted.
=> Article marketing is a great way to build your list.
Who would you rather have on your list, someone who found you from an internet search or co-registration, or someone that read one of your articles and now wants more? => Using small tips and lots of space in your articles makes them so much easier on the eye of the reader.
Imagine these tips all crammed into two or three paragraphs.
=> If you believe your niche is too crowded so why even try, consider this - there are more people out there waiting to hear you message, who can only here it from you, than you can ever get to in your life time.
=> Articles are promoted as a great way to generate indirect income.
While that is very true, you can also generate income directly from your articles.
I do it everyday on my web sites when customers buy my "action articles.
" => Good news - they found the lost Boy Scout in North Carolina.
Fox News just did a feature on a book the boy and his father had read - "Hatchet" - by Gary Paulsen, that the boy says helped him survive in the woods for four days.
I went to Amazon and bought 3 copies, one for me and one for each of my sons.
My point? You NEVER know the effect of your words and who they might help.
