Writing articles can lead to an entire online business for you. You can market yourself and your business by writing articles, or you can use article writing as the basis for writing on a blog, writing ebooks, or even doing copywriting on the internet. The sky is the limit, so it up to you how far you want to take it. Here are some ways you can use article writing to build an online business.

• Choose a niche market to work in. This may be related to what you have been doing offline, or you may decide to write in an entirely new area.
• Go to the article directories and read some articles that have already been written on your niche. This will give you a good idea of what article writers are writing and what readers are interested in reading.
• Make sure you have a blog or a website at the end of your article for people to visit after they have read your article.
• Decide as soon as possible whether you will be writing regularly on a blog, writing a short report or an ebook, or you will exclusively be writing articles.
• Use article writing templates to make this entire process simple to do every day.
