The write to link popularity
Using writing as a means of boosting your link popularity
can be a turnoff for many webmasters, when in fact it can lead to a
wealth of links.
I first learnt about link popularity while researching about many different
methods that I could use to market a Geocities site I had. After emailing
countless webmasters and receiving some dismal results, I realized that it was
hopeless to get people to exchange links with my freebie website.
Writing articles
Then I discovered writing. At first I was skeptical at using this concept but
after trying it for some time, the results began to show. What
was wonderful is that it only cost me some of my time.
With the help of article writing I was able to achieve a Pagerank of 4 for my
Geocities website. The more webmasters that archived my articles the more links
I had pointing to my site. As a result of my growing link popularity I began to
see my site show up on the first or second page for some relatively competitive
search terms.
Cost effective marketing tool
Using writing as a marketing tool can save you thousands in advertising
dollars. Imagine a website or e-zine that costs hundreds to advertise in and you
have the feature article which didn't cost you a dime to produce. You can easily
see which generates more profit in the long run.
Through the power of the written word you can be able to get free
publicity for your business. Providing quality and profitable and
sometimes inspiring information can help you to achieve that goal. Many top
marketers have used writing to good effect.

Developing your own writing style is important. As there are many others
doing the same thing you what to differ from them. How can you stand out in a
crowd if you are just like everyone else.
Practising and researching helped me to put pen to paper for
my first articles. Some of your first creations maybe a bit tacky but as long as
you keep going you can improve.
Writing can be a task at times. There are moments when I have written the
first two paragraphs and just get stuck. The inevitable writer’s block can be a
challenge to overcome. Taking a break and getting into the right frame of mind
can be helpful.
Conclusion
Can anyone become a writer? Well the answer depends on how much effort you
put into it. I have had some wonderful experiences since I became a writer. At
times when there are criticisms and negative feedback, they can help you to
better your skills if you use them the right way.
Many people don't like writing. But sometimes it's the things that we don't
enjoy doing that are most beneficial to us. Try your hand at writing - if a guy
from a Caribbean island can do it then so can you.
