Article marketing is such a highly effective way to advertise and generate free organic traffic to your website so herewith some lesser known ways on how article writing can improve your online home business.

When we first start with article marketing many people only distribute their articles to the article directories. Whilst this is a proven method to build back links to your online home business website as well as generate free traffic there are other ways to spread your articles far and wide over the internet.

Bear in mind that wherever you submit your articles, be sure to include the resource box at the end of the article as this will not only provide another valuable back link to your site but is also a form of free advertising for your online home business. It is also a good idea to put your publishing guidelines in your resource box as well i.e. "You are welcome to publish my article provided you include the resource box with links intact."

Do a search on your favourite search engine for e-zines and article publishing websites and you will be sure to find many links on these sites to submit your articles.

Another great way to distribute your articles is to create a free e-book with all your own articles and offer it on your website as a freebie, or give it away to your newsletter signups. Add your own online home business advert in the e-book as well.

You could consider adding an article directory to your own website as this will encourage visitors who are looking for free content for their own websites.

You could also start making extra income online as a freelance writer by submitting your articles to print publications that pay for submissions.

How about creating a free report on internet marketing and include a few of your related articles and give it away as a bonus to those who purchase a product or service from you?

Once you have written quite a few articles, you could even consider publishing a book and selling the book from your website.

Your articles could also gain huge exposure by offering other webmasters the opportunity to get an instant article directory by linking to yours. This could also increase the traffic to your website.

You can gain a huge amount of free advertising to your online home business by posting your articles in related online communities, such as newsgroups, forums and email discussion lists.

Have a look also at the authority sites within your niche and you may well find that you can submit your articles to them. Some of these sites also have their own forum with an article marketing section.

You can make it known that others are welcome to include your articles in their free e-books. This really is free advertising as you don't even need to promote the e-book.

You could also set up a campaign in your auto-responder offering an article a day to your website visitors and include your online home business email advert with each article.

As you can see there are so many ways to use your articles to build back links and generate free traffic to your online home business and that is what makes it such a worthwhile internet marketing tool.
