Today, most of my new customers and clientsare generated by the articles I write.

In your experience, what kind ofArticles are most in demand? BL: "How to" articles about how to find more prospectsand customers or how to close more sales. I've beenvery successful at building my own business andhelping other business owners build theirs. I writeabout the things I learned and use ...and tailor mywriting specifically to help other small businessowners.

What would youradvice be for getting maximum results from yourResource Box? BL: Both methods are effective. To generate themaximum response the byline must offer the reader anenticing benefit.

BL: Yes. 2 programs: #1. MS Word. I use this word processor to write my articles. I created a template with the formatting I want for writing articles. The built in word count tool helps me control the size of an article as I write. Then I can save the article as plain text with line breaks at 60 characters per line ...the format I use for submitting to publishers. #2: I use WorldMerge by ColoradoSoft to email articles to the publishers on my list. It creates individual email messages with personalized information merged into each. MS: It sometimes seems that everything that couldpossibly be written about has already been writtenabout. What would be your response to that? BL: Maybe every subject was been written about. Butnot every aspect of every subject has been covered.Plus, the world is changing -- FAST. Every changecreates more things to write about. MS: What would you say is the single most importantstyle tip for writing a good Ezine Article? BL: Make your articles easy to read. Use simple, easyto understand words and examples. This is easy if youonly write about things you do yourself -- or thingsyou learned yourself by trial and error. MS: And finally Bob, what would be your advice tosomeone who wants to write Ezine Articles but hasnever written for the Internet before? BL: (1) Recognize that most of the articles you readwere written by someone just like you. (2) Choose atopic you know a lot about from personal experience...even if others already wrote articles about it.Then force yourself to start writing YOUR article onthat topic. MS: Thank you Bob. ------------------------------------------------------------
