I know many service professionals who are new to article writing feel the same way. Article writing is actually much easier than you may think, and doesn't have to be a book. A good article can be any where from 400-600 words. Think about the common challenges your target market faces, or questions you are asked all the time about your expertise. Then pick one as the basis for your next article. You want to focus on one particular topic, introduce it, discuss 3-5 relevant points that support the topic and then wrap up with a strong conclusion. You've just inspired me to write a post on this very topic, so look for that within the next week or so. In the mean time, make it your goal to write at least one article per month using the aforementioned formula. And the promote it all in article directories, in your email newsletter, on your blog and on your social media profiles. Also, I suggest starting an "ideas" notebook where you can jot down your thoughts as they come to you about what other topics to write about. Thanks for the great question! GREAT question Margo!

I believe that I can prepare good articles, but limited amounts. I am not sure if I can write more than one article each month. Is it possible to have the same effect with a limited number of articles? If not, how would you suggest increasing content?
