I am just learning to write. Okay, that’s not exactly right. What I mean is I’m just learning to write for the public. I’ve been writing my blog for a few months and I learn more each day about that. And I wrote my ebook, Nina Nestoroff’s Ultimate List Building Tips. But I’ve never written articles before now. I think it sounded too much like school work, and I’ve been done with that a loooong time!

Long story short, I wrote my first article last week and submitted it to one of the highest ranked article publishing websites on the Internet, EzineArticles.com. My article was accepted! I can’t begin to describe how excited I was when I received the email notifying me that it had been published.

My article is titled: Build Your Affiliate Marketing Business

Of course, I am very much into building your list, as you know if you’ve been following me for any time. Therefore, one thing I really stress in the article is the importance of building your own list. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“One of the best ways to build traffic to your list is to write a short report that describes the benefits of your affiliate program. Make this report available only by email. When someone sends for your report, they are added to your list and you can continue to communicate with them. If you are not providing value, they will unsubscribe. Never take your list for granted.”

Since I’m new at article writing, even though I have “expert” status, I’d really appreciate it if you’d go take a look at my article at ezinearticles.com. You can Tweet it, or post it on Facebook, or StumbleUpon, so let the world know what you think. (Only if you like it, of course!! LOL)

There is another thing I want to point out to all of you who are working to build your list, to brand yourself, and to establish an online presence. Don’t underestimate the value of writing articles, or of blogging, for that matter. Do whatever you can to get yourself seen.
