Internet marketing continues to amaze me.

I'm continually amazed at the power of internet marketing. In particular, article writing. 

Recently, I've been posting articles on several blogs and social networking sites that provide an article-publishing service. Just when I think the "hype" around a certain article dies down, it starts right up again when other websites, bloggers, and newsletters want to re-print. 

Internet marketing is an effort that builds on itself: it becomes magnified over time. As more people read your article, the potential for re-prints and link-backs increases. YAY. I love it.

For instance, an article I recently wrote for Freelance Switch was picked up by the Australian Businesswomen's Network. How cool!

One note of caution: take a careful look at writing contracts. Some sites pay you for your writing, with the expectation you won't repost the article in its entirety anywhere else without permission and a link back to the original article. 

Moral of the story? Write. Share your expertise with online readers. Not only will they appreciate it, but you'll love the cumulative marketing that happens online.
