from Suzanne Lieurance, The Working Writer’s Coach 

Welcome to Day 6 of the Lieurance-King Fall 2008 Article Challenge. This challenge is designed to help motivate and inspire small business owners and solopreneurs to incorporate article marketing into their overall marketing plans.

Please note, however, that this is NOT a free coaching program. Once you accept the challenge, you will invited to a listserv (a discussion group via email) so you can interact with all the other writers who have accepted the challenge. You can ask questions, offer advice, send words of inspiration or motivation to keep the group going, or offer tips for article writing.

Take some time to do a little research and study article writing for online directories if you are completely new to article marketing. Sign up for our free 21-day e-course in effective article marketing by filling in the information in the boxes to the top right of this page.

Study the categories and read some of the articles at online directory sites such as www.ezinearticles.com to see how other people are writing articles, constructing a resource box for their articles, etc. You can learn a lot just by exploring things on your own.

Then, revv up your writing engines and start writing! The challenge is to complete 31 NEW articles and submit them to online directories during the month of October.
