Ezine Articles Expert – Carla McNeil :-)
ByIn January of this year I promised myself I would finally hit the 300th article published on my Ezine Articles account. I had gotten out of the habit of writing articles on a consistent basis and missed the traffic that they sent to my website. However I still never seemed to find the time to write on a regular basis once I “retired” from my job as a Human Resources Consultant for the Canadian Federal Government.
Prior to retiring I had been in the habit of sitting and writing for 15 minutes first thing each morning. Alas, life changes and sometimes those good habits disappear! However I knew the importance of the consistent publishing and it kept nagging me that I was so close but still hadn’t written that 300th article. For me the phrase “squeaky wheel gets the grease” applies as every once in a while the thought kept popping up “300th article? Where is it??”
For those of you who aren’t aware, Ezine Articles is the best online article directory. A website where you can post your articles for free.
Here is a quote from their website,
Q: Why should you submit your best quality original articles to EzineArticles.com?
A: You will get a chance to receive a massive increase in exposure and a boost in credibility. You will be able to include a short blurb about yourself, your business, and your website in your Resource Box (located directly below your article body) that delivers pre-qualified visitors back to your website

I had been going through some big challenges and things just weren’t going well. So I decided I needed to get back in my comfort zone. I sat down and wrote the final three (3) articles in one day. Sometimes it is very good for our physical and mental health just to take a step back, take a deep breath and do something that you really know how to do well. AND that’s what I did.
Not only did I accomplish the goal of the 300th article but I also cleaned up my own head space. I had been getting down on myself because things weren’t going as quickly and as well as I had expected. By going back into my comfort zone I realized just how much I had accomplished in the past year. I remembered back when it was HARD to write articles, I didn’t know what I was doing and I hung onto the belief of my coach Jeff Herring. (he kept telling me I could do it!) I was also able to apply that same thinking to what I am doing now. One day I will sit back and remember what it took to accomplish my current goals. 🙂
I have also been working really hard on Facebook lately, they keep changing so much. My product Going Global With Facebook, a membership site to learn Facebook for business, just keeps growing. I can also remember back when I had no idea how to post a Facebook ad, now that too is easy.
In celebration of this achievement I have reduced the investment of my Going Global With Facebook membership , you can get it today for 50% off the regular price. Click Here to Get Started
