Day 31 (Wednesday) - Prepare Article #2 for submission to your ezine list

Lesson Objective:

Today you will write your second article to submit to your list of ezines that accept
articles.

Skills Needed:
· Basic email
· Word processing
· Basic surfing



Today’s Lesson:


Part 1 – What should you write about?

If you need help with the actual writing process please refer back to Day 16.

After all we’ve been through together, the question on your mind should not be “how” to
write the article – it should be “what” to write about.


What does your audience need to know?

Based on your idea surfing sessions, what could you teach people that would make them
want to buy your product?


Example:


I just wrote an article about Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and a problem it has with converting
ebooks as a way to promote the ebook I co-authored with Joe Vitale, “How to Write and
Publish your own eBook in as little as 7 Days.”


I don’t give away anything from the book, I just tell them about a problem with a
software package a lot of people own or might upgrade to. Writing this type of article
enhances my status as an expert and promotes the book at the same time.


What problem could you solve for your target audience?

What bit of news could you comment on right now and really help make a difference in
their lives?

Today’s Assignment:

1. Write and edit your second article using the steps laid out in Day 16.
