Part of knowing how to write a good article is crafting a good article resource box.
But for your resource box to be effective it needs two things, a compelling call to action and a link that will take your reader where they expect to go.
To help you craft your own powerful resource box every time, use these article resource box examples, tips and templates. They can be used for both articles as well as guest posts or any other form of content you write to generate traffic to your web pages.
Are you stumped on how to write a good article?
You know, the kind of article that actually gets read, is linked to, re-tweeted, and mentioned on other bogs and websites?
If you articles aren’t making the impact you want, don’t be discouraged. Writing good articles isn’t hard, you simply need the secret sauce for writing useful articles that gets readers’ attention.
Someone actually put one of my articles on their site with their name on it. How low can you go? 
I discovered it yesterday while I was perusing some internet sites and found my article '8 Creative Types of Blog Posts', that I wrote back in August. There it was with someone else’s name attached to it - www.bukisa.com/articles/147219_8-creative-types-of-blog-posts
Yikes! OK, I guess imitation can be the purest form of flattery but somehow that doesn't make me feel any better. Copying my work and claiming credit for something that you didn't do is a little disturbing. What else might they steal?

Have you ever written an article only to find it's being used on other websites or blogs without your resource box attached?
If you write articles, chances are it's happened to you a time or two. For me, I found out strictly by accident. One day I was doing some web surfing in my niche and low and behold, there was one of my articles on a blog post with no resource box attached. Later on I found another one of my articles on another site that only included my first name and had no live links.
So what can you do when this happens? I'll discuss that in a minute, but first you have to find out who's using your articles.
Here's a method that I use: Read More →
Writing articles for your online business not only draws traffic to your site, it builds strong inbound links and labels you as an expert. But knowing how to write a successful article that ultimately gets read and holds a reader's attention can be a challenge for most writers.
If writing articles isn't your forte, there are plenty of ghostwriters available that will write your articles for a reasonable fee, there is also the option of using PLR (private label rights) content, however if you don't mind writing your own articles but just need a little boost with how to get them noticed and read, here are a few tips that will help: Read More →
