"Dedicated to the Dream of Someday Handing my Boss his Walking Papers"

There are 2 aims of writing articles to generate web site traffic. The first is that you are hoping that people reading the articles will visit your website, which is magnificent if you have a global reach, and the second is that the articles will boost your search engine rankings – great for every website.

So, what proof do I have that it works? Well, I have taken part in a challenge to write 100 articles in 100 days (and managed 150 in round 60 days…). Out of the articles submitted last month, my best one has been read by 386 people in only 21 days and of these at least 24 came in excess of to my web site. That article has also been distributed by some of these readers to other web-sites, which hopefully will also generate traffic.

So what about the search engines? Well for this I’ll look back at several keywords that I was optimising for round 15 months ago. I wrote around 15 articles on a few keywords and use these to push 2 different sites. Before I started the process I was nowhere to be seen. Part way through the collection I had made it to the top of the first page and to this day, even if I have not written articles for this keywords for over a year, I still have my sites in the top 4 positions on Google.

Do You Struggle to get Those Creative Juices Flowing

When I first started here at Project: Fire My Boss the hardest thing for me was to even think about writing articles.  And I still struggle at times to get those creative juices flowing.  But usually once I get rollin’  it gets a little easier.

Writing an article doesn’t just mean putting down thoughts into words then typing and writing it. You have to capture the interest of your readers and get them to keep on reading. To send your message across you have to get the attention of the reader and have a firm grasp of their interest and pique their curiosity.

The main ingredient in baking up an article is a large dose of creativity. While creativity may come natural to many people, some just gets into a block or something to that effect that can drive someone crazy. Many writers have literally torn their hair out when they get writers block and just can’t seem to get their creative juices flowing. Read more
