LOL ...

I shouldn't laugh ... I guess many would say that quality content is quality content.

... but it's not YOU.

Hey ... I used to write an article A DAY, a few years back.

Then it was an article a week ... month ... when I got the chance, etc.

That will change in the new year ... because it has to, IMHO.

I'm going to MAKE time for one article per week ... I feel it's that crucial.

Every time I speak to my buddy Jason Potash on the phone, I tell him that he should work the exposing YOURSELF angle (by writing your own articles) , when pushing Article Announcer.

Writing your own articles ....

- Is a learning experience.

You actually increase your own knowledge when researching ideas to base articles on.

- Is a lesson in discipline.

Working article writing into your routine will give you a feeling of accomplishment, and help put a damper on procrastination ... when you see the finished results.

- Still the best free, targeted traffic you can get.

No explanation necessary.

- Increases your self exposure, and grows and nurtures the self branding process.

Sure ... it would be so much easier to farm article writing out ... and you might just do that to supplement your content, both submitted and archived.

But the more articles you write ... the easier it gets, and the more your own personal style comes through, becomes recognized ... and trusted.

Exposure + trust + respect -> positive noteriety = more money in the bank

My two cents ..

Much success,
