Helping people and giving Newbies "No Holds Barred" advice is what makes me tick. I'm no Terry Dean earning an income that allows him to buy a forest but I have been marketing online since 1998 and I know which way is up!

Here's an email, modified to be an article, that I send to Newbies asking me how they can make a Million bucks Online!!

I always love to help people but remember I will never build you up with false promises.

Some people are natural born writers, others have taken to it to make a living online.

Submitting articles is without a doubt one of the most powerful ways to gain SE traffic, establish yourself, get "one way" backlinks to your website and earn a great living as well but don't let anybody tell you it is quick and easy...

Let's make no mistake about it, article submission can be a tedious and lengthy business.

This article is not about taking the moral high ground and preaching about the benefits of giving up smoking. It is just a simple article about what worked for me - a 47 year old guy who had been smoking for over 30 years and ended up on 60 cigarettes a day. I reckon if I can do it then perhaps this article will help others to seriously consider giving up.

Detoxification is a vital step in the road to recovery from addiction. It is often difficult to take but most drug and alcohol sufferers have no choice. Extended periods of addiction necessitate the help of medical professionals.

Many of the hardened addicts who attempt to quit on their own, are not successful in breaking free from their habits.

Article Writing can benefit you in many ways. It can drive traffic to your site, it can establish you as an expert and it can pre-qualify your visitors. In fact, it's one of the most productive and beneficial things you can do.

Writing and submitting articles is a technique used by many people to build huge quantities of back links to their websites boosting their link popularity and search engine rankings.

OK. You have decided to write an article. It should be something you are passionate about or at the very least have some knowledge of the subject.

Let's go into some depth about researching the substance of your article.

RESEARCHING YOUR SUBJECT

If you are passionate and know enough about the article subject you will probably be able to write a 700 - 1000 word article in less than 30 minutes.

If everybody knows that article marketing, (the writing and submitting of articles to article repositories), is a sure fire winner for an online business then how come hardly anybody is doing it? Or is it more likely they are just not doing it right?

Article marketing is not just about knocking out a few articles and waiting for the cash to roll in.

We all know statistics can say anything the author wants so it's always good to be a little careful when reading results. After reading about Googles Golden Triangle I did decide to undergo further research just to ensure the figures I was reading were somewhat accurate. With a little variation you can take any stats on this post as accurate to the very best of my knowledge.

It is worth bearing in mind that not all article directories have the same rules for your article submission. Using the following article writing tips will give you the very best chance of having your articles accepted by the editors at first reading without you having to do re-writes or, at worst, having your article rejected because of some minor technicality.

Internet marketing is basically very, very simple.

Let's look at it logically. We have a gazillion and one prospects, some "killer" products and all we need is something like 0.00000000001%, (or whatever - I'm no statistician), of these gazillion and one prospects to become clients before we head for the gentle waves swirling around our toes in some tropical paradise - right?

It seems to be that the thing to do nowadays is to set up a blog or 3, write articles and wait for the cash.
