\nWould you like to get more visitors to your website?<\/p>\n

A simple technique to increase traffic to your site is to write articles.<\/p>\n

An article contains about 400 to 600 words and should focus on a topic that appeals to your ideal clients.<\/p>\n

You can post your articles on an Article Directory like EzineArticles.com.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 quick tips to write articles:<\/h1>\n

1) Pick a “How To” Topic<\/h1>\n

People love to learn how to do things. And people assume they can learn how to do it.<\/p>\n

So, give them what they want and write a how to article. This is a great way to attract clients.<\/p>\n

In a moment, I will explain how you can redirect people to your website.<\/p>\n

2) Start the article and write for 15 minutes<\/h1>\n

The most challenging part of writing an article is to select a topic to start with.<\/p>\n

The next most challenging part is to write the article.<\/p>\n

Start of your article quickly and start writing. The sooner you put pen to paper or start typing the faster you will complete the article.<\/p>\n

Work on several articles at a time. You don’t have to start one article and then finish it.<\/p>\n

There is an energy to writing. You may find it helpful to start several articles. <\/p>\n

3) Pick an article and finalize it<\/h1>\n

Once an article is close to finishing, go ahead and make your final edits.<\/p>\n

In fact, it’s nice to set aside an article for a few days.<\/p>\n

When you come back, you may have some additional ideas or insights that will help you polish the article.<\/p>\n

Next, publish the article.<\/p>\n

When you post an article on EzineArticles.com, you will need to add additional details including a category, keywords, an excerpt and short bio.<\/p>\n

You can even include a free offer. This is your opportunity to drive traffic back to your site.<\/p>\n

One of my types of free offers is for a free report on a lead capture page.<\/p>\n

For an example of what this looks like, you can visit my web page:<\/p>\n

On the page, I have a Free Report on 7 Steps to Create a Lead Capture Page.<\/p>\n

By the way, I want to give you some encouragement for writing articles.<\/p>\n

I am launching an Article Marketing Contest starting on April 1, 2015.<\/p>\n

The contest ends on April 30th.<\/p>\n
