Best Article Directories
Best Article Directories. Do you enjoy writing? Then why not use it to direct traffic to your website, blog, or opportunity?
An “ezine” is an online article directory. Think of it as a free online magazine, where writers submit articles for publication. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of article directories.
The definition starts to get a little fuzzy because some are online only, while others have an email component that delivers your article to readers by email.
Still others have syndication arrangements where your article is picked up and placed on other websites.

Getting an article published can benefit you because the author (you) usually gets to enter a link to their website or service, meaning free organic traffic for you.
Since we’re interested in generating traffic for your FishFinder! lead capture page, it would be most beneficial for you if you could write about specific items of interest to home business owners and other Network Marketers.
For example, you could talk about the any of the following:
- Home business ideas for working moms
- How to start a home business
- How to equip the ideal home office
- Which is better for a home office, a desktop computer or a laptop computer?

Just make sure you put yourself in the shoes of someone who might be looking for a good way to generate more leads for their MLM or home business. Once someone reads the article, if they find it beneficial, they may click on your link at the end of the article and become a new lead/prospect for your FishFinder! marketing site.
This is more of a “long term” strategy. It takes time to approve your article, and there’s never any guarantee that your article becomes popular. However, there are many people who use this as their main source of free traffic.
You need to keep at it to see success. We suggest writing one or two articles a week for at least several months before you evaluate your success.
