4. The fourth step is to publish your article in article directories, on your blog, Facebook or Twitter Page and if you are so inclined turn it into a Youtube video as well. The more places that you are able to publish your article the more people will see it and the more traffic you will ultimately get to your website.

Those searching for a solution will no doubt come across your article and ultimately be directed back to your website or contact you to for more information.
