"Daddy, why do you write all those artices and then send them away?"
I answered my 11 year old son by telling him that I did it for more prospects, publicity and profits.
"What's that? I don't get it."
I went on to explain that when I write articles and send them in to EzineArticles.com and/or have them in my own newsletters and websites that people read them and then come to my websites and become subscribers, buy my information, and then tell others about me.
