Writing articles is one way to work on your writing skills while building an online business. You can write articles on almost any subject you know about, and people all over the world will benefit from reading about what you know and have experienced.

I wrote 100 articles in 100 days when I was starting out. This made it necessary for me to think of something to write about every day. I was determined to succeed, so this is how I did it.

• I kept a spiral-bound notebook with me at all times. Every time I had an idea for an article, I would take some notes in my notebook.
• I looked at everything around me as a potential topic for an article. When my friend said that red cars get more tickets, I did some research and wrote an article about it. When someone asked me how many pairs of shoes he had, I wrote an article about it.
• After a while, I started narrowing my focus and writing articles about what I was passionate about. I realized that I wanted to teach people how to write eBooks and use technology to build their business online, so I started writing mainly about that.
• I still write about a few other small niches that I have, but most of my writing is about my main niche.
• After about a month, writing became much easier for me. I found that I could sit down and write an article in as little as twenty to thirty minutes.
• Now I write every day. It has become a habit that gives me joy as well as a good life.

I encourage you to start writing articles and see where it takes you. You may find that article writing can be the beginning of an online writing career.
