By Hege Crowton

So you have a brand new website selling your fabulous graphics packages. You've spent hours on site design and putting together graphics packages, headers and templates. The site looks fantastic! Now, how do you get customers to it?

One way to build a steady stream of visitors is to write articles on a topic of interest to your graphics customers and get them published in niche article directories. These kinds of articles are sought after by webmasters to augment their websites or send out to their email lists. These articles will link back to your site in a resource box that lists your credentials and provides links to a couple of pages on your site. Publishing articles can benefit your website in many ways.

One way writing an informative article will benefit you is by establishing you as an expert in your niche. When you brainstorm topics for your article remember that it should not read like a sales pitch - fill it with information that interests your target audience. Perhaps an article about how professional headers can add to a websites credibility might work? People with websites might be persuaded by your arguments and click through to your site to buy one of your great graphics packages!

Another benefit has to do with linking. When you publish articles, no reciprocal link is required so you are getting one way links which will greatly increase your popularity with the search engines. This will become much more important in the future as the search engines decrease the value of reciprocal links.

You can get literally thousands of links from just one article! Of course, you want to get the most mileage out of each article you write so you want to submit the article to directories where it will be seen and published by webmasters who have a need for content in the baby niche.

There are many huge article directories with all kinds of topics and you should submit to those, but you should also submit to targeted niche directories such as GraphicsContent.com where your article can get straight to those who really want it.

Another benefit is, of course, traffic. Your article may be read by hundreds when it is published on a related site or mailed out to an email list, and if they like what it says and want more info, they may just click through to your site. Believe me, I get plenty of traffic from the articles I write and that traffic can translate into more sales.

Here's some tips on writing a great article that will help boost your graphics business:

1. Give your audience and answer to a problem. How do you know what your visitors want? Pay attention to the questions they ask in emails or visit forums on your topic. If a specific question seems to pop up all the time, then this could be a good topic for an article.

2. Use an attention grabbing headline. Get them to read the article by giving it an interesting title.

3. Write like you are having a conversation with the reader. Don't just spill out a bunch of boring facts, write like you talk. Go back through and read and edit. You want the article to flow nicely. Don't make it too long or too short either about 300 to 600 words is good.

4. Outline your key points. Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. Try jotting down your ideas or main points you want to make and shuffling them into an outline form.

Follow these tips and submit to the right directories and soon you'll have more business than you know what to do with!
