Let’s say that you’re in the diet niche, and you sell multiple diet products. You write a diet article that is closely related to one of your products, but you don’t advertise your product in the article. Instead, in your article you discuss a particular problem that your product can help solve.

So if you’re selling a diet pill, you can write an article about the dangers of obesity, what causes it, and how to combat it. You should try to make your article be at least 350 words, and no more then 700 words. Remember, people have a short attention span!

At the conclusion of your article, you will want to include an author’s resource box. This is basically a block of text (usually 3-5 lines) that tells a little about yourself and gives the reader a compelling reason to click on your link. Here’s an example:

After you write the article, be sure to check it for spelling and grammar errors! After you have proofread your article, you are ready to distribute it to article directories, forums, and newsletter publishers.
