There's nothing handier than a free article directory to help promote your business. You use a free article directory as free content on your business Web site, in your e-zine or your electronic newsletter, and you might use it in opt-in e-mail correspondence. Of course, when you find the article and articles you want to use in the free article directory you take the time to change the copy and make it your own, talking about your own experiences, your own industry, your own expertise, your own business, and your own products and services. This might take a lot of effort or just a little. What it does take it less time and effort than to write the article yourself. It pays off better than most Internet marketing tools you might choose instead.

Let's look at a few free article directory choices. If you have a business that deals with coin collecting - perhaps a hobby shop, or a site for collectors - there are several free article directory options. One article directory that we found is new but already has 172 free articles. It includes articles about United States coins, coins from other countries, coin collecting supplies, reviews of coin collection books, tips on how to sell collectible coins, software to help with coin collecting, and tips on how to buy collectible coins.

This free article directory, typical of many of the free article directories we found, says that if you should happen to not find an article in the free directory that deals with the specific topic you're needing you can sign up for a free notification by e-zine about the new articles that are added in the free directory. The e-zine is free and you can opt-out at any time. This is the free article directory's way of growing its subscriber base, of course. This is a practice you would be well advised to emulate with your own business Web site and e-zine or newsletter.

If your business is about self-help there are many article directories options offering free articles. You can find articles on anxiety; depression; addictions and abuse of alcohol or drugs; natural and homeopathic alternatives to prescription medications and surgery; relationships such as family, friends, spouses and lovers; diet and weight loss; therapy and psychiatric care; exercises and exercise equipment; spiritual development such as retreats, meditation and religion; and a nearly endless list of other self help topics.

To give specific examples of the article topics found in this free article directory: there are articles that teach you about accelerated learning and speed reading; articles that talk about assertiveness training; and articles that direct your readers to the various associations and organizations where they can network to grow their business, increase their personal enjoyment of life, or just have a good time with folks who have similar interests. You can find article in another free article directory leadership skills, enhancing your own creativity, and public speaking.

A free article directory somewhere is apt to have just the right article or article for your business Web site, e-zine or newsletter.
