Learn to use an article directory

I was a struggling writer who’d been working on a novel for over a year. Needless to say, writing a novel when you’re an unpublished author doesn’t pay all that much–approximately zero. Since I was behind on the rent and slowly drowning in a pile of bills, I realized that I had no choice but to get a second job. My first job was teaching night classes in creative writing to a group of untalented suburbanites at the local community college.

I had just applied for a position in a bookstore when I learned about writing articles for online publication. I had never considered myself a journalist or an article writer, so I dismissed the suggestion out of hand. At least until he told me how much money could be made. He most certainly was not earning millions, but he was definitely earning  far more than I had any hope of earning at a bookstore. He indicated he was free to take on the task of authoring pieces, because his time was his own. The best thing about his job was that he worked from home and didn’t have to waste money on gas or tolls.

Although I was a bit unsure, I gave it a go anyway. To be honest, I was a little intimidated at first. I was very unsure if I would be able to find success at it. I knew I was a solid fiction writer, but writing articles? My friend assured me that there was nothing to it. The only advice he asked me to formulate good resume to submit to any one of the freelance writing sites online. These sites were driven by businesses who were looking for writers to compose articles that would then be submitted to an article directory.

Article directories are websites that gives users free access to insightful, informative articles. The writer usually receives instructions from his new employer about the articles they want him to write, which he then submits to an article directory. If the article is accepted, the writer receives two back links, which he then connects to the website of the business he works for. It helps to enhance the purchase level by creating the traffic for the business.

After I had landed my first client, I wrote ten articles on the best way to wax hardwood floors. Articles are written differently by some authors, and narrative fiction is one of the styled I used in article writing. Once I was finished with the web content, I next took care of submission to the pre-determined article directory of their choice. While all of the articles were not accepted the first time out, the article directory gave me expert advice on how to improve my articles and give them just what they were looking for.

Instead of working at the bookstore to pay my bills I started working for an article directory. It even paid my rent. I also enjoyed the fact that the article directory I was submitting my work to was providing useful information to interested users for free.
