Writing Articles For The Online Audience
As an online marketer, writing articles is an important part of your marketing strategy. You have probably written hundreds, if not thousands, of articles promoting yourself, your products and your services. You know that a good article can increase your reputation more than any promotion can.
We all have to finish writing our articles as fast as possible. Because there are so many other more important things waiting for us to do like watching sports on television, going out for a beer with the guys, and just lazing around doing nothing, we just can't spend the whole day writing articles. And the wife will remind us that there are other things to be done like mowing the lawn, fixing the leaky faucet and taking out the trash. So, to give you poor overworked guys a break, I have prepared a list of hints on how you write your articles faster without sacrificing the quality.
When writing articles for the article directories, a knowledge of HTML is usually not needed. Most articles directories come with a rich text editor with which you can perform simple formatting actions like bold, italics and lists. But there are some directories in which you can only submit in pure text, although they do accept some HTML tags, and that is what this article is about.
Article Directories - The Top 10
Article directories are an excellent way of getting the word out, or of showcasing your work, or you might just want to write for fun. In fact, article marketing is the main "weapon" of choice for many Internet marketers.

When I searched the web for free photos and images that allows personal and commercial use, I discovered thousands of sites. Many of those sites were small, personal sites with a few hundred images, while some sites hosted hundreds of thousands to millions of images.
Copyright is something you have to deal with as you go about your business on the web. So it is really useful to know a little bit about the Copyright Act. I have prepared a short summary and I also hope to clear up some misconceptions about it.
Creative Commons licenses are created to fill the gap between a copyrighted work, in which you reserve all your rights, and releasing your work into the public domain, in which you relinguish all your rights. Creative Commons licenses have been described as some rights reserved, in which you retain some measure of control over how your work will be used while giving permission for other types of uses.
Plagiarism, as defined by Dictionary.com, comes in 2 forms. Firstly, it is the "unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author". Secondly, it is also " the representation of " those ideas "as one's own original work."
