How did writing your article go? I know it can be overwhelming sometimes, but I hope that you just sat down and started writing… when you do that you can usually come up with at least 400 words.

Now that you have your article, you are going to need to create a “bio” for your article. Your bio box is a short 2 - 3 sentence paragraph that is displayed at the bottom of your article. You want this to convey who you are as the writer and also give a link to your website (the domain you bought and set up a few posts ago) so that people will go there and buy the product you picked.

Here is an example bio box for say an article about dog training with you promoting a dog training product:

“I love pets and have so much fun with my dogs, especially since I finally got some help and followed a professional dog trainers advice. I found an amazing dog trainer that has put together a nice, fun book and video training course that you can take a look at here: Professional Dog Training Information.”

Notice how when I included the link to my website, I actually used my keyword phrase (the one I told you to pick out for your article)? I did this by typing my keyword phrase (professional dog training information) into the paragraph and then highlighted it. I then clicked on the link icon (it usually looks like a singe chain link) and when the box pops up, I typed my website address (the one you picked to promote your product) into the URL box. If you have never done this before, you will understand what I am talking about a little more when you go and submit your article, so don’t worry too much.

Think about your bio box, or resource box, and put a nice one together. Don’t be too pushy, but let people know where they can go to get more information. These 2 - 3 sentences could possibly be the most important part of your article so take you time with it.

Now that everything is done and in place, next time we will discuss the top article directories to submit your article to… the fun part!!!
