Whether you publish a blog or an ezine - or even host a web site, writing about what you do is a requirement. And, the more you write, the more fresh content you create, which keeps the search engine's love affair with your work going.

But, sometimes writing can be a chore. Coming up with a brilliant masterpiece every week is challenging even for the most talented writers.

Because you want your writing to be relevant and interesting, it makes sense to think about the article's afterlife beyond the single blog post or the ezine article.

You may have a few signature articles right now that people request or read over and over again. If not, think about the most common questions you get, answer them and turn the dialogue into an article.
