Just run a search for any search query at a search engine and you are almost sure to find that the websites that rank at the top have a lot of content. And because of their great ranks, these websites generate a lot of Internet traffic (this should really be the starting point for your online business, because if you do not have traffic, then how can you attractive prospects).

Writing articles and publishing them on the directories also gives you the opportunity to generate incoming links that also enhances your link popularity, which is also great news when you are trying to achieve good search engine ranks.

Here are top 15 ideas for article writing that is sure to help you.

1. Always write information rich and interesting articles to establish yourself as an expert in your line of business.

2. When you are writing do remember that the Internet is not a reader friendly medium and so no one reads every line of what you have written. So you have to use bullets, underline and text highlighting.

3. Always use simple language.

4. Using humor and comedy in the articles is a good idea but do not overdo this.

5. Write how to' articles to solve a problem or to show the way to all those who need help on a given topic. If your how to' guide becomes popular, you can expect it to generate a lot of traffic.

6. Write an interview' article where you actually publish your conversation with a proven expert in your field. The interview will generate good interest.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
