By Rob Metras

There are hundreds of ways to promote yourself and your website on the internet. One of the easiest ways is through article marketing. If you are running a website, you have some knowledge to share with others. What better way to share your knowledge than with article marketing?

Many people look through online articles to get information on any given subject, everything from colicky babies to planning the retirement trip of a lifetime. Everyone has some experience in some area; you can share with others through your experience or love of a subject.

Numerous articles can be written on your subject. You can begin with a general overview, telling what you know about your subject and your experience with the material you are offering. This will show your readers how knowledgeable you are. Then, add more articles, going more in-depth with your subject matter. Let people know that you have something interesting to share. This will make them want to go to your website and buy what you are selling.

There are many free sites to which you may submit your articles for online publication. This provides you with an easy, no-cost way to promote your site and your product. Google \"article marketing\" to find LOTS of websites where you can register for no charge and enter your articles. The more articles you submit, the faster you'll become an expert, published author!

Don't be afraid to try your hand at writing. It can seem daunting, especially if you haven't written term papers in years! Just relax, and write what you know, as if you were telling someone about your subject in person. You can always edit if you use your computer's word program. Read your rough draft out loud; this way, you can check for errors and be sure that the article flows the way you want it to.

One caveat: don't give away too much information. You want people to go to your site and buy what you're selling and to need your expertise. Save the best information for your site. Lead your readers to your site by making them want more of what you have to offer.
